Our stay was a blast. Daughter loved the sand pit (16 months). Beds super comfortable, space was clean and there were supplies you would not normally expect with a vrbo rental. Kids toys were also nice. You could definitely tell they have had kids or grand kids. The adults loved it too. Plenty of lounge seating on the patio. Nice open spacing inside. I couldn't say enough good things! We would definitely look to rebook in the future.

My husband and I were in town for a weekend family event, so our stay was short, but oh so very comfortable and enjoyable! Kristen was an excellent and pleasant host; replied to queries upon booking, sent timely information prior to checking in, and promptly answered a query I had during my stay. As for the house itself, it was super clean and just as described in the listing. Pantry has some good basics, as well as cooking items (measuring cups!! -- other rentals i've made don't seem to include these). Minor recommendation might be to replace current skillet, as it's a little overused at this point, but that was very minor. We were able to lounge by the pool, use the BBQ, and kayak out on the canal in the early afternoon (don't forget the mosquito spray like we did though!) This home would be a great base for couples like ourselves, or families with young children -- there isn't a lot of clutter, which is great (so that there isn't any danger of breaking something). Generous supply of towels and linens. Clear and accurate information provided throughout -- everything is so well-organized. I would happily return here, or recommend this rental to friends!

My husband and I stayed at Apollo Blue for 5 nights with our two young children. The house was comfortable and included amenities that made traveling with kiddos a little easier. It was appreciated to find several bottled waters in the fridge and a number of kids books and toys that they enjoyed throughout our stay. I had messaged Kristen and asked if it was possible to have the pool safety fence set up prior to our arrival and that was accommodated no problem. We used the pool every single day (perfect temperature, very clean) and also enjoyed a morning kayak trip. Several meals were enjoyed on the lanai and we had our coffee most days out on the dock. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We made day trips to the Tampa Zoo, Florida Aquarium, and Busch Gardens and all were about 30-35 mins. It was wonderful having full laundry and a trial size of detergent available, too.
