Located right on a gorgeous Dolphin Cove canal with a private dock, pool and spa, and access to all of Tampa Bay, this stunning two-level, three-bedroom home is waiting to provide your group with the sun-kissed vacation you deserve! When you're not out sightseeing or fishing for Snapper, Redfish, and Snook, kick back in the home's amazing living space. The first-level living area is dressed with cool tile floors, vaulted ceilings, lots of comfortable furniture, and an abundance of natural light cascading in through numerous windows and etched-glass doors. Stream your favorite movies and shows on the living room's large flatscreen TV then head into the full kitchen to prepare a delicious meal - you'll have all the stainless steel appliances and counter space you need to get creative with your next homemade meal. You can enjoy a quick breakfast or snack at the breakfast bar and elegant meals in the sunroom with the dining table that seats eight. The sunroom is air-conditioned and features a towel cubby and water toys, and there is ample seating at the far end for entertaining.
Outside, you'll find a gorgeous screened-in patio crowned by a private pool and pool spa with canal views, ideal for hot afternoons or with pool heat, perfect for chilly winter days, and you'll love getting your daily intake of vitamin D from the comfort of the lounge chairs. Off the patio, a covered porch is furnished with an outdoor table for four and extra seating, a great place to acquaint yourself with a new novel or a freshly brewed cup of morning coffee. Take the walkway off the pool area to access the home's private dock for a day of fun on the water - you'll love coming back to simply tie your boat off and head inside to bask under the home's luxurious central AC! Of course, you'll have all the comforts of home during your stay. Everyone can look their very best, thanks to the private washer and dryer, and the free WiFi will make it easy for remote workers and students to take care of those last-minute projects. When it's time to call it a night, you'll have three well-appointed bedrooms to enjoy, two with en-suite baths and the lower-level primary room with access to the sunroom. Whether you're here to experience everything Tampa Bay has to offer or just want a relaxing place to enjoy some quality time with friends and family, you'll find this elegant and modern house to be the perfect combination of luxury and convenience!

Nice place
Needs a little love in the maintenance department. Overall a good stay. Vacasa is the management company renting it thru VRBO. It was not easy to get any help from them even when the A/C went out.

Need refurbish
Yes, we are disappointed of the state of this villa. This is the third time we rent a villa in Florida and all the other ones had a much better standard. It needs to be refurbished for the price you take for it.
The Villa does not hold wine glasses at all, we had to buy ones. There is no barbecue which we are use to in Florida rentals.
Also the child-safety gates is solid where the owners also locked all sliding doors except one with screws which makes the indoor/outdoor dining area very enclosed and not outdoorsy at all.
Of course we understand the importance of child protection for safety reasons but it would preferably be removable ones if guest without small children use the villa.
The upper bathroom had a toilet that you manually had to refill water in the tank for it to stop running water.
The pool heater ldc display is torn out and almost impossible to read to make the settings for Pool/Spa mode. The pool was really warm when we arrived and we tried to lower it but one cannot read the lcd display when adjusting the settings so you work in complete blindness here.
One of the lamp poles in the garden is broken/missing
The refrigerator is super noisy during the nights when you trying to wats tv and probably need replacement
