The house (very clean), furnishings (updated), and pool were exactly as pictured. The host, Steven, was very helpful with questions. The location was terrific, walked to the beach (expansive sand) in minutes without crossing a street, and no crowds. Dining, grocery, mini golf (pricey, but impressive layout) and ice cream shops mostly walkable or few minutes by car. Visited attractions in Tampa, St. Pete and Clearwater with 30 - 45 minute travel time. Very enjoyable for entire family, grandparents, parents and 8 year old grandson! Definitely a keeper!

Excellent stay in this vacation home. The property is exactly as displayed on VRBO. It is clean, modern and very comfortable. We were a family of 6 adults and had plenty of room inside and out. We loved the onsite private pool and outdoor furnishings. There were beach chairs, umbrellas to take on our short walk to the beach. The sunset is breathtaking. We were able to easily prepare meals in the well equipped kitchen. There were restaurants, shopping, ice cream within walking distance. The tourist trolley stopped right by the home and we went to Clearwater Beach Pier 60 one day and to John's Pass in St. Petersburg another day. We highly recommend this property.

We had an amazing stay and would absolutely return. The house truly had everything we needed for a perfect beach vacation. It’s a quick 30-second walk to the beach, which was uncrowded and spacious—such a treat. The beach setup was fantastic: six chairs, beach towels, plenty of sand toys, and a wagon to easily haul everything down.The home was fully stocked for cooking, including a grill, and having a washer, dryer, and coffee maker made everything so convenient. The pool was a huge bonus and surprisingly warm—even with outside temps around 52 degrees, our kids happily swam every day. We also loved being within walking distance to DJ’s Clam Shack (best lobster roll we’ve ever had!).Steve was an outstanding host—when we unexpectedly ran out of toilet paper, he was there within 20 minutes to help us out, which we really appreciated.Our only very minor notes were that there wasn’t a towel hook right outside the shower door and there were no washcloths in the master bathroom, but these were small things in an otherwise perfect stay. Highly recommend this property for families or anyone looking for a relaxing, well-equipped beach getaway!

Excellent location!

This house hit all the marks for our group, very close to the beach access, clean, and private. We were able to have 8 of us without feeling like we were too crowded. The house is clean, and the updated kitchen was great. A little light on the kitchen utensils, towels, but enough to make it work. Steve was very speedy in getting us replacement beach chairs and umbrella when notified of broken ones.
