The owner knew the pool heater was not working since October per his maintenance staff I was notified a few days prior to our arrival -the pool was unusable it was too cold to go into- the sun does not hit the back of the house after 12:00 noon- the house is at the end of the street and is NOT a short walk to beach- no beach wagon as described in listing, no recycle bin so all our recycling had to go into regular garbage, staircase to upstairs bedrooms is steep and narrow not safe for elderly or kids- this should have been explained in the description, the pots and pans are in sad shape- various a numerous issues with this home-my request's for assistance was not handled well or just ignored I have never been so dissatisfied and disappointed with a VRBO- this was a VERY expensive lesson learned, I would NOT recommend this place.

We really enjoyed the home. The views of the inter coastal were perfect. The home was large enough for 8 adults. We were able to rent a couple golf carts which really helped getting around town. The beach equipment was very helpful. It has two refrigerators made it great with so many adults. Less trips to the store. The grill helped out a lot and we had plenty of gas for it on sight. There was plenty of kitchen necessities and a lot of towels etc. The washer and dryer was great to have on sight also. It is .5 mile walk to the beach in a quite neighbor. There’s 2 Publix grocery stores and a small Walmart within 5 miles. A lot of restaurants and some small stores close by. The stairs are a bit steep if someone in your party struggles with stairs. All the neighbors were very friendly The pool heater had been broke for two weeks so we didn’t get to swim so that was disappointing. The owner did give of some compensation for this. The internal part of grill needs cleaned but grills were clean. The back fence could be more sound. Certain areas of house could use some repair The owner has a Jeep in the garage -so if you have allergies to rubber know the smell is strong. Overall the house was great and we would definitely stay here again!!!!

This house was amazing! Coffee on the dock at sunrise with Dolphins swimming by ALL DAY LONG! The traffic on the intercoastal was minimal, so it was so quiet and very peaceful. The beds were so comfortable! The best nights' sleep! Location is perfect! Close to everything you want to do. The only negative is that they could use a little more serving dishes in the kitchen. But, on vacation making a big salad in a cooking pot isn't what's important. It's quality time with family. A bonus was that we were able to have our dogs with us, which made all the difference having the WHOLE FAMILY TOGETHER.

Absolutely fabulous home in a perfect location. 2 families of 4 stayed here comfortably for a week. It was amazing and would highly recommend. Looking out over the bay and seeing dolphins every morning is amazing. The pool is a great size and heated! Everything we needed was right there. The food in the area is spot on. We rented golf carts and traveled from Madeira Beach to Clearwater easily. All the pool and beach toys we needed were in the garage along with chairs and umbrellas. The seating area out by the pool was very comfortable and many hours were spent relaxing in the sun and the shade there. The 2 Adirondack chairs on the dock were a great touch and we didn't even have to sit quietly for the dolphins to literally swim up right to the dock! Incredible experience for the kids (and adults)! A couple things to note about this property: There are tons of signs on the street that the locals are against short term rentals. We tried to keep sound at a minimum. The upstairs master is wonderful but does get very hot and stuffy especially on a hot day so you may want an additional fan going. The maintenance man was coming when we left to fix the master faucets (they worked but needed a little help) The beautiful bedroom (king size bed overlooking water) is perfect downstairs but just know that the bathroom is.mot connected (you have to walk across the living room to get to it) and it is also the only bathroom downstairs for everyone to use while at the pool etc. This room also gets stuffy but has a box fan and a ceiling fan in the room to help. Depending on the size of your party and who is taking showers- you will need to space them out as there not an on demand hot water heater. Not a deal breaker- just plan ahead. You can't be in the shower upstairs and expect to get hot water if someone is also in the shower downstairs.

Nice property. It was the right fit for our family. The beach was a little hike if you have small children and hauling the gear you need to bring. There was public beach parking at the end of street. However, we spent most of our time in the pool. Kids loved the pool and private dock to fish from.

Wonderful property off the main drag in Indian rocks. Walkable distance to the beach, never over crowded. Quiet neighborhood with police patrol. The home had all the creature comforts and the back patio on the water with the pool was the hot spot all vacation. We did see dolphins a few times a day swim past just as all the reviews had said- and even saw a shark! Beautiful location for a family get together!

We so enjoyed our stay. Beautiful house, great location for quiet relaxation! ( away from the crowded commercial beaches) The views were spectacular from the house and the dock. Loved seeing sunsets and sunrises from the privacy of this rental. The pool was an added treat which made this home perfect for our family gathering. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us. A Fun time was had by all!

Plenty of room and amenities for our family of 6- grandparents and kids. Pool and dock were great. Linens ample and beds comfy! A/c cold and neighborhood friendly and quiet. Short walk to the beach!

Location was great. Beautiful neighborhood. House was great .

View of water and sunset from backyard & private pier was the best feature of the house. Plenty of outdoor & indoor seating. Kitchen had all we needed to cook dinners. Bedrooms well sized and beds were comfortable. Pool was great when it was heated but we had challenges with heater staying on during our stay with timer & although this was resolved on the 2nd day of our stay it was not resolved the 3rd day of our stay so we lost the use of the pool. This was a big reason we rented this house - heated pool - so would not stay here again if this isn’t resolved. Incorrect entry code was given to us in email & couldn’t enter house when arrived on 1st night - we did get an immediate call back with a different code to use that did work so that was resolved. Overall it’s a good rental house but having to contact the owners / mgmt more than once during our trip is dissatisfying and takes away from being on vacay.

Really enjoyed the house. Great location!

The property was very nice. It was in a great location. However, the heater on the pool was not working properly. We didn’t figure it out until the last day. The house did appear larger in the pictures but it suited our needs nonetheless. We enjoyed our stay and the time spent with friends. Great memories!

This home and the location were perfect! We enjoyed having a cup of coffee every morning while watching the dolphins in the intercoastal. Almost every night we saw the dolphins as well. We did a lot of fishing on the dock, caught some fish and saw a couple stingrays while sitting there too. The pool was a very nice addition, except it was not heated and we read thought it was supposed to be heated in October. The rental has some things that need to be updated but nothing that was earth shattering nor would it stop us from renting there again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

the picture are not what you walk into. the walls in kitchen looks like something got water on them they are really bad maybe paint them. the door in garage falling off my husband fixed it. the toilet paper roll in bathroom cant put roll on it so my husband fixed it. the floors are all uneven so got to wear shoes so don't stub toes. the rugs need clean in living room. the bedroom downstairs is so hot and the bedroom with the two double beds is also very hot. very hard to sleep in them. the pool was dirty and the trash cans smell so bad so tried cleaning them. i dont think the price was worth what you got.

Our family had a fantastic stay at this property. The location was awesome. Dolphins right in the back of the house were very very cool! Pool was very refreshing. We will absolutely stay in this home again in the future. Thank you for sharing this home.

This was our first time staying all together in a house. We had 3 very young kids and 6 adults. The house had everything we needed and plenty of space for everyone. The pool was beautiful (we hardly got out of it the whole time we were there). We loved looking out to the water! We even saw dolphins a few times! It was a short walk to the beach. Pool and beach supplies were available. I highly recommend staying here! We hope to be back again in the future!

The Owner and Property Management company have no care for their guests. Property is Unsafe. Outside and Inside Stairs are not Safe. Multiple Prior Comments from guests about AC--Not Addressed. AC only works in the Most Center rooms of the home. Cannot open blinds or shades or the rooms will reach 86 degrees. There are signs on every window and AC at the home. The Property was disgusting. Pulled up to two cans overflowing from prior guest. Dirty dishes put away in cabinets. Dirt and grime on walls and doors. Ring around the bath tub. Pool had floaters all week. Pool filter way past it's prime. (We saw it when the pool guy came to check the water.) Rusty bench on dock. Fallen tree on stairs. New stairs attached to rotten exposed walls. (With no permit.) It is clear they have no care about your health or safety at this property. Why did we pay a cleaning fee to clean for hours when we arrived? We could have stayed at a 'Pink' luxury resort down the street for less than we paid at this dump.

The house met all of our expatiations except that the A/C didn't work in two of the bedrooms which made it hard to sleep. Everything else was very good. loved the area and was walking distance to beach and restaurants. Doug

The house was lovely! We enjoyed the private atmosphere and the ample parking. Loved being able to be step right out to the pool and patio. And being able to fish off the dock was great! The only challenge we had was the steep stairs to the upper floor. Difficult for older people. Would suggest adding another hand rail. Thank you for sharing your lovely home! Our family truly enjoyed the week together there.

This property was wonderful for our family of grandparents, parents, and adult children. Lots of room, kitchen was stocked, pool was great, dock and waterway were amazing! We will be back!

The house was great!! Everthing was perfect!! We enjoyed it very much, did not want to leave. The pool and view was the best, spent every evening out on the patio. Saw dolphins a few times and even fished, didn't catch anything but it was a great experience for the kids and adults. Definitely will be back and rent this house again. Thank you!!!

Property was perfect. Beautiful location, pool and we even saw dolphins. Highly recommend this property and TJ’s Italian cafe.

The house was great, plenty of space for 8 adults. The kitchen is well stocked. The outdoor space is perfect with plenty of seating. Pool was not clean when we arrived so we contacted VRBO and it was taken care of. We would come back again.

House was perfect for a family vacation , it was all I was hopping to be ,

This house was a perfect rental property. Everything that we needed was there. The location was wonderful

Would definitely recommend this rental property.

The stay was very good. The neighborhood was wonderful and friendly. The dolphin siting from the house was unbelievable. We would definitely do it again.

We were very comfortable and pleased with the facility except for the staircase to the second floor. The staircase is a very difficult access to use as it is narrow, steep and lacks handrails for safety. This was especially difficult for us, as we are all seniors with some mobility and balance issues. Some of us saw dolphins swimming past. That was a treat!

Spacious property with a pool and near the beach. House was well equipped with everything we needed for our family gathering. Would book again.

It was great for all the ages we had. Lots of bedrooms were convienient for each family. Lots of kitchen stuff… easy to cook whatever. Two refrigerators for everything. Lots of towels which was helpful.

The home was clean, pool is very big for a private pool, plenty of towels, and just perfect.

The pool was totally green and unsafe to use for 4 days out of our week there. Called property manager, Kevin. Never even answered our call. Pool guy did come and finally got it clear; but that day there were so many chemicals, we still couldn’t use the pool. Specifically booked this property because I thought if Covid was crazy the teens could use the pool. Didn’t happen. Would have at least appreciated a response from the property manager. Never happened. Otherwise property is awesome. Kids did catch a lot of fish off the dock, we saw dolphins every morning and every evening. House was clean; just not the pool.
