We loved the pool, the house is beautiful and the location was perfect. Everything we needed was close by. We used the pool a lot And the pool table. As far as cooking everything we needed was already there, I loved staying there and hope to stay again.

It was nice that the pool was heated. when we arrived in Florida, temps were colder than what you might expect. Having the pool heated was a nice treat. It was also very nice that if you forgot to bring anything with you from home, there is a good chance that it was already in the home. Coolers, umbrella's, all the towels you might need, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper, paper towels and even a bowl for the dog. The people in the neighbourhood were very friendly and you never felt uncomfortable.

Amazing rental property. Spent two months and not one issue. Everything is true to their description. Heated pool was great. Teenage grandsons who came for a visit loved the pool table. It was stocked with everything one would need. You could actually just pack your clothes and nothing else. Exceptionally clean.

Great Stay with kids
House was clean and owners were very accommodating when it came to kid friendly things such as high chairs, crib, pack and play etc. Great backyard to spend the day and hang out in the pool. The only downside has nothing to do with the house but there is not beach access at Apollo Beach.

The house was perfect for our family. The online pictures were right on point. The location of the house was great for all of the activities my family wanted to do...from going to a Rays game, to Anna Maria Island, to the Aquarium, and the Casino. The house was immaculate.

We had a fantastic week at the fountain house. We spent most of our days either in the pool or the lanai. At times family was situated all over the yard. In the pool, on lounge chairs, next to the bbq or in the lanai. Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood! Hosts were very attentive even got a full size crib for my grandson.

Family Reunion/Vacation
We loved this house. Our group ranged from 3 years old to 77 years old and nobody was ever bored. In addition to the pool there is the pool table, foosball, and basketball. House is laid out well, and very spacious. The laundry in the garage was great. Also, a second fridge in the garage for drinks. We grilled a few nights and it was very relaxing to just hang out. Other days we drove to Anna Maria Island, Clearwater Beach, and Tampa. The house was nicely centrally located. The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, pool toys, beach toys and chairs and wagon, and shampoo and conditioner. The hosts are extremely friendly and responsive. The pool light was out, and they had somebody come and fix it immediately. Overall I would recommend this to anyone, and would stay here again.
