Beautiful house; great location. Negative: House not well set-up for a vacation rental.

Overall, this house was a very good fit for our group and we had a great stay! We were a group of friends and families (9 adults, 6 kids and 1 infant) and the size of the house and amount of bedrooms was PERFECT. We were 5 seperate family groups, and so the set-up of having attached bedrooms was good for us (might be different for some groups). PROS: lots of easily accessible amenities and chain stores like supermarkets, starbucks, etc. Pool was great, beautiful views on the lake, very well stocked house (plenty of spices, oil, towels, extra blankets, etc), large and we could spread out, driveable to lots of towns and beaches, responsive host who is quick to answer questions CONS: It is not really in a neighborhood area or close to beach, so you can't go out and take a nice walk, it's really close to a highways. The closest beaches are just OK...if you're looking for white sand gulf coast beaches, you'll be driving 40 mins. Most of the house was cleaned well but some spots were definitely neglected by the housekeeping staff (not a huge deal as we did not need/use those spaces), spotty internet We spent most of our time in the pool which the kids loved and so nice to have the beautiful view while in the pool. Pool is quite shaded part of the day which is a nice break from the sun. We explored Honeymoon Island, the town of Tarpon Springs, and Fred Howard Park from the house and enjoyed all (though wished that I had been closer to a beach resembling Clearwater).

Beautiful property and Vonda was great to work with…..

Great house, pool, etc..

Had room enough for all 17 of us to stay comfortably. Teenage children loved staying in the Nanny Suit.

Our stay was wonderful! The house is huge - much bigger than expected. Especially nice was the semi-detached “mother in law” wing that gave extra privacy and separation. We were staying with our very large extended family, and having multiple, segregated areas for spreading out was great. The pool is fantastic and the location is close to many stores and restaurants - but far enough to be very quiet and secluded feeling. The property owner was very friendly and helpful. Great with communication. We love this place!

Awesome family get together. There were 17 of us and we had more than enough room for everyone. The manager was very polite and easy to get ahold of. The pool could have been maintained a little better but that should fall on the pool maintenance crew. If we get down this way again, we'll definitely try to stay here. Thrilled us all to see a gator swim by in the distance.

This beautiful house was large enough to accommodate our family of 14 people. The kids loved the pool and pool table. It was nice having so many bedrooms and bathrooms. The view of the lake is a focal point and we enjoyed bird watching. We would happily stay here again.

This property was just perfect for our family as we prepared for our daughters wedding in Dunedin! We were able to host a bridal dinner there, as well as gatherings for our big Italian family! 😊 The property is beautiful!! Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and a beautiful full moon! There is plenty of open space on the main level, lots of bedrooms upstairs, and an adorable nanny quarters with a separate entrance! The property manager and owner are very attentive and quick to respond to any questions and a pleasure to work with! We even had a visit from the delightful housekeeper, who wanted to make sure everything was in order and we didnt need anything! We would definitely rent this property again if we have the opportunity!

Our group of golfers had a great trip to Tampa. The house was clean, had everything we needed, and the location is beautiful and worked well for us. The owner's communication was quick and she answered all our questions. We'd certainly stay again the the next we come to the Tampa area.

Our 10 day stay met our every expectation! We booked this house based on only 5 star reviews and after staying here we were quite puzzled by the one bad review posted after we booked. The house was wonderful and our experience with the owner was delightful. We played six different golf courses in the area and had a great time. We certainly hope to make a return trip.

The property was filthy and not as described, the owner couldn’t be contacted (emergency number didn’t work and we learned she was out of country). Below are few highlights: - We had to buy cleaning supplies and spent 12 hours over first day and half cleaning. I am talking filth. Not just crumbs but caked on filth. Microwave filthy. Eggs found on the pans (most pans weren't usable). Dust was so bad you could see it when you wiped a finger. The grease on the outdoor grill took about 30 minutes to clean. Floors in bathrooms hair and dirt. Urine stains on toilets. Black mold in vent. - When we tried to get in touch with owner we couldn’t. Someone (Vera..don’t even know who she was) came to house to “greet” us and then told us we should just leave if we didn't like it. Normally would have left but it was Thanksgiving week and we had 11 family members arriving from all over the country and couldn’t find another accommodation. - property is adjacent to a trailer park and not in a nice area - says house recently remodeled yet there were stains on carpets, bathrooms old and stained tiles (likely not touched in 20+ years), really old furniture (some moldy) - says 9 bedrooms but there are only 6. There are 3 common rooms that had beds but they didn't have a window or closet so they had no privacy at all. You have to go through these rooms to get to the real bedrooms - says surround sound, however it didn't work - We reached out to confirm hot tub would be in working condition (our family loves hot tubs). We were told it would be working. We showed up and it was broken. - says there is a firepit (and there was one in photos). When we got there - no firepit. When we reached out to the owner the she noted we should just make one. For over 1,500 a night, I don't think I should have to make one. I don't know how to make a fire pit and would think it would be a fire hazard. - Says there is separate office space - we couldn't find it. - says Brand new kitchen - the kitchen was absolutely filthy and certainly didn't appear new. When we asked for some discount or reimbursement, we were given hard time. No apologies but just rudeness. We finally were given a night free but not even reimbursed for cleaning supplies and were told we had to clean the house and do all linens before leaving to get the refund. Only person we could contact until day before we left was someone named April. Not sure who she was vs Vera vs owner.

Great

Beautiful house, exactly as pictured. Great owner and property manager. Allowed us to push our reservation 1 year due to COVID with no penalty. One of the best vacations of my life. Highly recommend renting this property.

All of the rooms were spacious and decor was upscale. Those white marble floors were quite attractive except for the step down into the family room. I marked with yellow CAUTION tape to keep the more mature folks from a tumble. Nanny quarters was quite useful for one person who could not climb stairs easily. Third floor suite had a stunning view of the lake. More than enough beds on the second floor. Some bedrooms had sliding doors to seperate, but still had to go thru one to get to the bathroom. We spent ALOT of time outdoors on the patio. Awesome view of the Lake. Would stay here again.

This property is great for large gatherings, which we had. There were 10 of us and we weren’t crowded. There were three issues tho. 1. The flooring is white marble with steps everywhere. Several people stumbled. Steps need to be marked. 2. I understand that homeowners are at the mercy of renters so this is an issue with last user. 75% of the dishes were dirty. Really dirty. We had to rewash every thing.3 The bedrooms aren’t all independent. There are two sets of two that are linked together. You have to walk through one to get to another one. One the plus side the house was well stocked with paper products, the master bedroom is breathtaking and view of the lake is perfect. We enjoyed our time very much.

Close to town, but feels miles away. All amenities we needed and very comfortable. Plenty of space- if we are in Clearwater again, we will def stay here. Must visit the nearby mall, beach and quiet Spongers docks. SO FUN!!
