The pool was excellent! The pool deck was large for all to enjoy. The only downside of our stay was the neighbor across the canal that clearly did not want anyone enjoying the outdoors.

Nice but Not As Nice

After we got in, I received a message that we have to document everything wrong and turn it in right away or we would be held responsible for damages. It took us over 2 hours to do this due to all the dents, scratches etc on the furniture and appliances. Next, we paid extra to have pool heated, the heat was not turned on until we arrived and I got a notice saying it would take 24 hours to heat up! Why didn’t they turn it on the day before we arrived and shut it off the day before we left. Same amount of electricity used but we would have gotten the full benefit of what we paid for. The showers were so dirty I went to the store and bought Lysol cleaner to clean and disinfect them. On Thursday, we got a surprise visit from a Mold Inspector. I called the house manager who apologized for the interruption and said she would have gave us a heads up but the inspector never got back with her with a date and time. Several minutes later someone associated with the house came to talk to the inspector at the request of the house manager. Only problem, he knew the inspector was coming that day but was told 4:30 and the inspector showed up a few minutes after 4:00. So the manager DID know they were coming and simply forgot to tell us. I am thankful we happened to be there, otherwise strangers would have been in the house with all our personal belongings. Last, it is NOT a hot tub! They told us they heated the pool to 80, well the tub was only a few degrees warmer than that.

Relaxing paradise

First off the owners of the property were super accommodating. They even brought us a delicious fresh avocado from their tree. The home was beautiful. The pool and outdoor space was incredible! We spent most of our week in the pool. Sadly we did not see any dolphins 😞 The available kayaks were a nice touch! You don’t get that little extra at most places.

Needs some attention

We came here with some close friends for a week of vacation. There are pros and cons to this property. Pros: Plenty of beds for a large group Close to shopping Within an hour drive of some really nice beaches. We visited Siesta Key and it was awesome. The water was beautiful. Within 30-40 minutes of Busch Gardens and downtown Tampa. The pool was awesome Communication with the property owner was nice when we couldn’t get the hot tub to work. They are very responsive to questions. Cons: The house wasn’t very clean with crumbs that were found in one of the beds, dirty bathroom mats. Not enough towels for large groups and we ended up buying towels for our stay. Not enough toilet paper, paper towels available for a week and we had to purchase more. We also ran out of garbage bags. The furniture seemed dingy- would recommend something other than fabric so it could be wiped down. The pool needs to be cleaned. There were things floating in it and sand and debris at the bottom as well as kids toys. The pool guy came once while we were there but it really needs a good filter to clear all the debris floating in it. Please be aware of the bugs outdoors. We had numerous bites that have been terrible. Definitely recommend bug spray. This property could be a lot nicer with a very thorough cleaning, including the pool, furniture , and more supplies like towels, paper towels and toilet paper. The walls also have scuffs everywhere. Would I stay here again? No.

Beautiful views and amazing people- dolphins and manatees visited!!!

Stayed here for a month and it was beautiful. The outdoor area was wonderful. Outdoor Furniture further from the slider is in really poor shape and not really usable, so we only used the one table just at the slider. Needed some more attention to cleaning the pool deck and doing something with the kids stuff for the pool as it was just in a dirty heap at the foot of the stairs outside Overall our month long stay was wonderful and I would recommend this home highly. The people in the neighborhood were amazing. Felt like home

Quiet neighborhood, great pool

This home has a fantastic salt water pool and pool area. Perfect for spending the day in the water with the family. The host was very good at communicating and prompt. The neighborhood was very quiet. The neighbors, unfortunately, did not tolerate any noise day or night. So if the kids were outside in the pool during the day, they made it very clear they did not like the noise of kids playing (mainly the guy across the canal). He was actually quite rude, mimicking our kids! This was a huge downfall of our stay. The cleanliness of the bathroom was not that great..there was black mold in the bathtub. We would recommend bringing your own pillows because the ones that were provided were very hard and

Best property owner

We have stayed at many VRBO rental houses but this owner went above and beyond to make us happy. We had the privilege of staying at three of this owners rental homes during our stay at Apollo Beach. Each home was a beautiful propery, in a great location, and included a fantastic owner experience. The owner never stopped doing what they could to help us make the best of our time in Apollo Beach. When we come back to this area, we will stay in this owners properties. Thanks for all you did for us.

Beautiful property

We truly enjoyed this gorgeous property. The pool is phenomenal and the view of the waterway spectacular. The communication with the owner/manager was excellent. The only negative is neighborhood rules seem to be a little strict for us. Though we didn’t have issues at all with anyone calling, we kept having to remind ourselves to be really quiet after 9 and before 8. ;) Still a beautiful property a lovely vacation. We absolutely would recommend.

Pool and hot tub were awesome

The pool and hot tub area was by far the highlight of this property! The house was clean and a nice size for 10 of us including seating at the dining room table/kitchen bar, the living room with sofas and the back patio with plenty of chairs. My few complaints would be there were not enough bath towels or beach towels for 10 of us which you had to pay for laundry (washing and drying) and then the amount of dishes were also lacking for a group of 10. If the house can fit up to 12 guests, you would think there would be enough 'supplies' for everyone. Lastly, the owner was quick to respond to all of my questions which I thought was great!

Beautiful pool/patio

We loved hanging at the pool with the family. Also my fiance and I took kayaks out in the canal and we had a dolphin swimming with us for the 2 miles that we kayaked. So cool! The hot tub was controlled remotely by the owner which was an inconvenience; however the owner told us that system is being changed so that the renters will be able to control it. That will be much better. The owners were very prompt at getting back to me via text, when I reached out and were very kind!!!

This was a very last minute booking and Einav was very helpful with any questions and was very accommodating given the last minute reservation. House was clean. The bottle of wine was appreciated and a nice touch after a day of canceled flights. I was concerned about Communicating with owners to turn on spa but it was never an issue and you can schedule in advance for the week if you’d like. Hubby caught a few nice fish off the dock and we even saw a manatee. Would definitely recommend.

lovely family stay

We really enjoyed our stay but there were a few little niggles. The plus points were:- the amount of space by the pool the shade over part of the pool the amount of space in the house the amount of pool toys the kayaks the neighbourhood (seemed very safe and relaxed) the hosts were very helpful The negatives:- the wooden furnishings had seen better days. 2 bedrooms were very nice but the other 2 are more set up for kids sharing 2 of the kayaks were broken as previously mentioned the hosts are lovely and I a sure that they would resolve any issues however they do come round quite a lot. There were only 2 days where we didn't see them and on one day they brought someone round to see round the house. That said it would not stop us going back. As mentioned by some other people it is a bit of a pest having to ask to turn the hot tub/ pool feature on and off. It might be better if the guest could turn it on but the time was limited to 2 hours twice per day or something like that. All in all we had a good stay and would recommend this villa for a family holiday. We had no issue with any of the neighbours and I don't think we are particularly quiet so perhaps the issue a previous renter had with a neighbour complaining about noise was an isolated event.

We had high expectations for this property when we booked it. However, a lot of stuff in the house need to be updated. Bathrooms and showers need to be upgraded. Kitchen utensils, pots, and pans are so old and dingy. Couches are not in the best of shape. In general, we had better.
