Beautiful home! My husband and I stayed here with our teenage boys for the week. The house had everything we needed and more. We really enjoyed the pool and fishing on the private dock. we even got to see some dolphins and manatees swim by. The house itself was super comfortable, clean and well taken care of. Would definitely stay here again.

Very disappointed with being informed the day of our arrival that the heater for the pool and hot tub were inoperable! Hot tub was the main reason we rented this home! In the description of the house it said no hurricane damage with finding out the hot tub was damaged during the hurricane. False advertisement! Michael did have them put a new heater on the 4th day we were there! The downfall to that was never told there was a cutoff time to utilize hot tub only between 6am to midnight and never had that time to utilize either. When arriving back at the house around 10:15pm it was completely shut down and couldn’t turn it back on! Advised Michael and he was going to come to house and stated it was on a timer and with the time change could’ve been reset! So again the last night of our stay had my niece over and again unable to utilize it and that time was shut down at 9:15pm! The house was clean and just wish we were made aware prior to the day of arrival regarding hot tub/heater! Felt we paid all that money and unable to utilize the hot tub which was the main reason we rented this place.

Wonderfully Kept Vacation Rental

What an attractive well kept vacation rental complete with the well done patio, pool, and dock area to just relax and chill while you enjoy the Florida sunshine! The entire property is beautifully decorated, very homey, and perfectly cleaned and maintained, and is located in an attractive friendly laid back harbor community. This is what we look for in a quality vacation rental. Thanks so much to our hosts for being so welcoming and accommodating as well with excellent communication too!! Cheers!! Dan & Sharon

The house was amazing and worked perfect for our family. Michael was a very accommodating host and easy to work with. We really enjoyed the many extras that they put in to the house such as the beautiful decor, all the toys and amenities you would need for any and all families and also the well stocked kitchen with everything you would ever need. The pool and hot tub were super clean and enjoyed very much. This house was all we could ask for and more.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Michael’s place. The pool was amazing, we saw dolphins, manatees, sting rays and a shark in the canal! We caught a couple fish and a blue crab! House was very clean and had all the fixings to go with it. There needs to be a little TLC to the bar stools and grill and we had a small fridge problem but Michael was on it within 30 minutes. Overall we would stay here again!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Palm Tree III

This is a 5 star property that met or exceeded every expectation. The house is beautiful, clean and spacious, and situated in a quiet community. The kitchen was huge and well-equipped and I am envious of the readily available hot water out of the kitchen tap! The 85 inch TV and comfy couch with recliners on the ends in the family room were great for watching the Super Bowl and other sporting events! The property offers three bedrooms that slept 9 in beds and a 10th in a roll-away, and two full bathrooms with plenty of linens and towels. My wife and I loved the outside amenities including kayaking, fishing, and gorgeous sunsets from the dock. And then there is the pool and hot tub with lots of available sunshine and sitting/entertaining space around the outside pool area. Lots of other amenities offered by the owner such as bikes, fishing gear, the kayaks, etc. Mike was very responsive in addressing any questions we had. The house is a reasonable distance from other locations like the city of Tampa, St Petersburg and Sarasota (one of my favorite attractions is the circus museum in Sarasota). Check out the manatee viewing area which is free and very close to the house. We loved dining at Circles restaurant at the Apollo Beach harbor. Read the other Reviews. This place is as advertised, consistently exceptional, and we would love to visit again.

Palm Tree III

This rental exceeded my expectations and was excellent on all counts: the owner responded quickly to any questions that we had; living space was spacious and beautifully decorated; very comfortable new looking furniture and beds; newer appliances in an extremely well equipped kitchen..many pots, pans, bowls, spices, two coffee makers, etc; two washers and dryers, great linens and towels...everything in tip top shape and immaculately clean! We also enjoyed the beautiful outside amenities! The pool and hot tub were very clean and lovely, situated so that you can view the dock, canal, and sunsets! We appreciated the surrounding patio space which included a large table and chairs and a couch in a shady area with fans so we could visit, play cards, watch others swim, when we needed relief from the sun. My teenage grandson and son-in-law appreciated the availability of rods and lures and spent many enjoyable hours fishing off of the dock. They even spotted dolphins in the canal, which we all got to see playfully swimming near us! And lastly, the beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, wagon, etc which were provided for our use, really were wonderful to have for our day at St. Pete's Beach! We had a great vacation at Palm Tree III and would definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting the Apollo Bay or Tampa area!
