Great Place for Temporary Home
We had family in the area who had medical issues. This was a perfect place to hang our hats while we visited people in the area. Cari was totally hands on as a property manager and very available and accommodating. Thank you!

Horribly disgusting and location was not good
This location was not clean, it was disgusting! Dirty clothes in the closet on floor left behind, trash under both beds, filthy disgusting floor not mopped with dried urine on it. Nothing was dusted there was hair on the window sill, edge of bathtub and sink in bathroom and on the toilet paper holder. A hair was on the shelf in the refrigerator. There was gunk in the sink strainer. We booked the stay for 11 nights and hours after booking was told they did not update the VRBO website and the last 3 days of our stay was not available so we had to find a 2nd location which cost us fees for 2 locations instead of 1. Refund did not include taxes or any part of the fees. Manager was rude when dealing with these issues. AWFUL!!!

Great location for snow bird getaway
The house was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed. It was a month stay and the location was within minutes of 2 beaches, the Pinellas Trail, and Alt 19 (which gets you to wherever you want to explore). Would stay again!!

Nice house, wrong neighborhood
The house is very cute and comfortable as photos show, the neighborhood, not as much. House is older and needs some updating. Its security really needs to be updated. Deadbolts did not lock and interior door handles unlock the door if turned, whether the door is locked or not. So if you turn the handle to test whether the door is locked you open the door. The only way to test the door locking is from the outside before closing it. Woke up one morning to find the back door open because our cat had managed to turn the door knob. Thankful there is a screen porch outside. Washer and dryer in garage work great once you figure out how to turn the garage lights on (switch inside on living room wall). TV is seriously outdated, no local channels and very limited apps available. No ESPN app, nor one available for download, so I couldn’t watch college bowl games that were on. Prior guests failed to sign out of YouTube and Netflix so I signed them out, travelers beware of not logging out of your accounts. Not unpleasant but I wouldn’t book it again.

Spring visit
After a slight glitch in checking in (the previous guest had put the wrong key in the lockbox and we couldn’t get in), we enjoyed staying in this house. It was spotlessly clean and was comfortably furnished, with all the necessary supplies in the kitchen. The neighborhood teenagers enjoyed riding their motorbikes up and down the road, which might annoy some people, but that occurred mostly on the weekend. Overall, I would highly recommend this rental and will use it again myself if we are in the area.

Great location!
The rental is in a great location, only minutes away from Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks and downtown New Port Richey. Good location for day trips to Clearwater, Tampa, & Homosassa Springs. The rental was very clean and comfortable. Cari is a pleasure and very responsive.

Visit with mom for Christmas
This house was perfect for us to visit my 89 year old mom who lives in assisted living. We had everything we needed EXCEPT a dishwasher, 2nd bathroom(which we already knew about) and a garage door opener for easy access to go in the garage door. It was a quiet neighborhood where we felt safe with friendly neighbors. We were able to cook a ful holiday dinner for my family and everyone enjoyed the visit!

Wife walked in and first thing she was how cute it was. Home was very nice and comfortable. Could not ask for a better property manager than Carie. If i wasn't buying a house down here this would be my vacation place
