A Wonderful Place to Relax

Tammy has thought of everything. The place has all you need for a comfortable stay, including comfortable beds. Tammy was easy to communicate with. The neighborhood was great. It’s very close to the Manatee Viewing Center; which is a must if you are there in the winter. It’s close to several good restaurants including the Sunset Grill, Fins, Circles, The Vineyards (food awesome; service very slow) and Apollo Pizza. Please, make sure you note that neither the Hot Tub nor the Pool is heated. But it does make a great place to sit around and enjoy the weather.

Great location & House

We had a great stay at Tammy's house. Situated in a nice quiet location and the pool area and view from the back is amazing. Neighbours are very friendly and nice walk to a few bar/restaurants. Ideally located as we wanted just outside Tampa and near the beaches and this suited well as about 1hr from both. House was spacious and clean, and has everything you need. Would definitely recommend, if you are thinking of staying here.

We rented this property to use as a base for house hunting. It was perfect. There were several developments around the area with some great homes. After a day of house hunting, the pool was a wonderful retreat. This house is a very comfortable and relaxing place.

What a great place to stay, we had 3 generations together for the week under one roof watching dolphins from the dock, catching fish, kayaking, swimming in the pool, playing board games from the closet. Also lets not forget the neighbors, great welcoming people. We will be back.

All of the rooms had comfortable seating, and the great windows for the outside in. The views from the dining room and living room onto the lanai and pool were beautiful.

Thanksgiving Joy

5 PLUS STARS!!! My family and I (husband and two Adult Children) spent a fabulous time, a full week, at Tammy's House. Great Hostess, Great Communications, (usually less than a hour call back.) She had EVERYTHING. Kitchen had anything you needed to bake,cook, broil, tons of utensils, along with pans, pots, baking dishes etc. to go with it. More than enough Dishes, silverware, just everything!!! Easy access front door, good locks, great lighting!! Close to restaurants, stores, gas stations.WOW!!! House was as pictured in VRBO, beautiful, tastefully decorated, pool super clean, peaceful place to sit out at night and just relax. Plenty of room outside and inside, for when my sister, her husband and my Dad, came to visit. Gorgeous views, quiet, SAFE neighborhood, yet lots of great neighbors. Very Friendly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We will definitely rent from her again!!!

Had a great time in this lovely villa that had everything you needed and loved all the Halloween decorations, the only thing i was a wee bit disappointed with is we didn't get in the lovely pool as it was cold. Spent alot of time fishing at the dock and enjoying the sun which was great.

Loved the pool and dock on-site!

Our stay at this VRBO was perfect for our family. We all enjoyed the pool and dock, on-site. My son was up every day at 6/7 AM and caught stingrays and ladyfish. We appreciated being able to use fishing gear that was provided at the house, but also purchased a few things at Walmart and a local bait shop. They also saw dolphins and a small species of shark. One day there was a school of jacks, just bubbling at the surface of the water. My husband took the kayak out one afternoon and enjoyed the convenience of being able to get in right off of the steps on the dock. The convenience of the dock was also great when my brother-in-law came in his boat to pick us up for fishing out in the bay. Another great quality for me was the convenience of having a Publix 5 minutes up the street, as well as, Dunkin, Starbucks, and Armetta’s Gelato and Caffe…loved the authentic Italian coffee! We also found the location a very easy drive into Tampa for all of the wedding activities we came to attend. I highly recommend this home for your Apollo Beach getaway, and hope to return someday!

Tammy’s house has EVERYTHING a family of 6 would need. Loved the vibe of her home, so eclectic - from African safari to Dia de los Muertos to beach vacation home. My kiddos immensely enjoyed the pool and lanai. My husband enjoyed fishing off the deck. The location of her home is in quiet, peaceful, and friendly neighborhood. 10 out of 10 would recommend her home!
