Wonderful House, Beautiful Location

We came here to celebrate my mother in laws 80th birthday. The checkin process was super easy with all directions sent lrior to our arrival. The location is on the water with easy access to the Gulf and we used the kayaks provide throughout our trip. We cooked a bunch burgers, sausage and fish on the bbq out in the backyard and then ate our meals in the screened in porch. The house was very roomy and easily fit the 5 of us and our inlaws when they came over. The kitchen have everything you need for prepping and cooking meals. We were all sad on our checkout because we had to get back to reality. I know we all would highly recommend the property and next time we are here we would love to stay again!

Fantastic Stay

We loved staying here. It was a dream location for us, quiet and relaxing with plenty to do. We saw dolphins and manatees, herons and ducks from (or in) the front lawn. We had our own private dock for fishing or just relaxing. Loved the kayaks. The large screened in porch became a great family gathering place. We had all that we needed and more.

Beautiful property and house!

We had a wonderful stay at Cow’s Creek. Being surrounded by all the water is so peaceful. The house is decorated nicely, is bright, very open and extremely clean. The different birds were fun to watch. The kayaks were nice to have for use, as well as the washer and dryer. We also did enjoy the screened in porch as well. I’m looking forward to a return visit.

My family and i rented this home for a week vacation, they home was very accommodating and everyone felt right at home during the stay. If you love wild life a morning cup of coffee with the various birds and the occasional dolphin or manetee(s) in the canal then we highly recommend staying in this gorgeous home. We will definitely be back for another stay!

WILDLIFE galore

Every day we had birds visiting and sunbathing in the yard. One, which we couldn't identify, was curious and wanted to come in the house. There was a nest of Cranes across the canal and the babies took flight. Very awesome. We had a dolpin and manatee visit and lots of people fishing. The house was well equipped. My only disappointment were the bugs. I was bit upon arrival and couldn't spend time outdoors in the yard. The screened in room helped some but no-see-ems got through.

Awesome!!

The house is located perfect to go different directions for attractions. Tampa Hard Rock Casino, Aquarium, and Bush Gardens. Then to Clearwater Beach and Brooksville/Spring Hill areas. If there is anything you need in a pinch, there is plenty of shopping nearby. The house itself was beautiful and comfortable and had everything we needed in the kitchen like the comforts of home. Our adult kids loved taking the kayaks out for a spin. I had the cutest visitor every time I went outside. A baby water bird would fly in and land within a foot next to me. (he was about a foot tall) His mom, almost 3 feet tall would fly in once and a while to check on him. I am going to miss him. We just loved the place and didn't want to leave. Especially to go back north to the snow and 20-degree temps.
