Birthday week at the beach

I stayed with my family at this property for a week and had a wonderful time. The house was clean, well-equipped with extra pillows, blankets, towels. We went to the beach everyday and hung out at the pool in the afternoons. There was plenty of beach towels, chairs, and other gear. We rode the bikes to nearby Howard Beach for the sunsets. The house is located in a residential neighborhood and we felt very safe. We had to contact the host one time and they answered the phone immediately. Very easy check-in and check-out process. It was a very relaxing and fun stay. Would recommend to others.

Just what we were looking for

We had a great time at this property. The house and pool were just right for our family of 8 and felt like home. It was nice to have things like beach towels and shade for at the beach. We used the pool at least daily and enjoyed the layout of the home for when we wanted to watch a movie or play games. The house was close enough to groceries and parks and gave us quick access (within 30 mins) to beautiful beaches and fun cities to visit. We know there was more to do than we were able to fit in which makes us interested in coming back.

Clean, comfortable, well appointed.

My family and I enjoyed our stay in Tarpon Springs. The house was very clean and comfortable. The layout was great (kids rooms down one hall, master suite off the livingroom). The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We loved having the bikes available to use during our stay, and really appreciated the "little extras" like the bottle of wine that was there for us when we arrived after 8 hours in the car, the coffee pods and snacks, the quality toilet paper (not the rough cheap stuff you often get in rentals), and the super fluffy towels that looked brand new.

Family Christmas Vacation

The best rental in our 15 years of visiting Tarpon Springs/Clearwater with our family. The owners are by far the best we have worked with and the house was not only amazing but located close to so many family friendly events. This rental is perfect for all ages and for any family gathering. We will rent this house again for our future visits to the area.

Wonderful!

The house was very clean and spacious. We loved the layout of the house with its open floor plan. Furniture, bedding, linens, and appliances were comfortable and of good quality. All rooms had large flat screen TVs. The home was well stocked with necessities and many nice extras. The pool and pool area was well kept and clean. The backyard area was private and the neighborhood was quiet. We were happy with how close the house was to Howard Park and two beaches. We found many good restaurants and things to do in the Tarpon Springs area. We highly recommend this property!

Stunning experience

The property itself is exceptional- such a nice, clean, beautiful home! All rooms have been curated thoughtfully to ensure you have everything you'd need in terms of space and amenities. The pool is great- they keep it very clean and is awesome to come back to after a long day at the beach. Lots of beach and pool toys as well as umbrellas and chairs provided for an effortless stay. Our family came in from Chicago and some things came in handy that we wouldn't have thought of since our heat and beaches are so different from Florida. The location is a huge plus- very close to the beach (Howard Park) - nice for a quiet, local experience instead of the large beaches in Clearwater or Tampa. Our family of 7 adults and 2 small children under 4 slept very comfortably. We had an amazing first family vacation - thank you Frisbees!!
