We had the pleasure to rent this home for 6 months as we looked for our permanent home in Apollo Beach. There are so many reasons we loved this home and location, so here are some of them: Why we loved this home: Canal front in a great neighborhood Being able to kayak or fish right from the dock Fully furnished with everything we needed - even for an extended stay Beach decor made it feel coastal and added to the experience of staying waterfront Nicely remodeled and great living spaces The lanai was a great place to grill, read, work, workout, etc. and great for our kids so they wouldn't go near the water Location: We loved the location of this home. It's downtown Apollo Beach so it's very close to everything..grocery stores, restaurants, CVS, coffee, spas, Apollo Meats, just about everything. Also minutes from the preserve which has awesome sunsets, great for walks, fishing, or a day playing in the sand. Minutes from the Manatee Viewing Center as well. The overall location to visit other FL attractions is why we moved to Apollo Beach. There are so many places to visit within 30-60 minutes. Including Anna Maria Island, Sarosota, Siesta Key, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Busch Gardens, Clearwater; you'll never run out of things to do and a great location if you are visiting Florida to get to experience a variety of things at different places. The owners are also amazing people who always responded promptly if we had questions or needed anything. I'll definitely have our friends and family stay here when they visit if it's available, since I know they'll really enjoy staying here.

It is beautifully remodeled with a Beach theme. Mark and Patti has everything perfect that you don’t need a thing. They both thought of all to make our stay pleasant. My husband would get up early and fish at the dock. We will both sit out in the dock and have a cup of coffee as we enjoy the view of the water every morning of our stay. Has a nice hot tub and not to mention barbecue in the closed in porch. There is a beach park, picnic island and great places to eat. Fantastic place to be and we will definitely be back. I will be telling my friends and family. Thank you Mark and Patti for our wonderful experience

Owners were amazing! Very accommodating and great hospitality. Communication was amazing! Best VRBO place I have ever stayed at!

We waited too long to make our Florida reservations and didn’t want to stay in Orlando again. We were so happy when this new property became available and booked it right away. The owners were there to answer questions and show us around. They also answered texts right away when we needed local advice on things in the area. The house was just completely refurbished and beautifully decorated in a beachy/coastal style. I would have been happy to hang out in the house for our entire stay! We spent a lot of time kayaking and the groomed trails were close and so much fun. A couple of times we packed a cooler with lunch and took the kayaks to the beach for lunch. If that wasn’t fun enough, we saw a dolphin and stingrays! We may never go to Orlando again.

This was a dream vacation. The property was quiet, so resting and relaxing was easy. Great beds, I slept like a rock every night! I did Yoga on the dock every morning, and could fish off that same dock whenever I wanted. Kayaks were available to explore all the channels and bays, and it was close to the beach. There were several things for the kids to do, and all the Theme Parks are within a short distance away. Tampa is trending and there`s a lot of great restaurants, and things to do at night. This property would work for anyone trying to get away for a week, or an extended stay.
