Close to restaurants, grocery store. Easy to get in and out of the neighborhood. Very quiet, clean, and being on a canal with a dock for our boat met all of our needs. I would recommend considering a stay at this location.

NPR review

Overall this house was perfect. We had a family of 6. It was clean and well stocked. We were staying close to other family that live here so for us it was a perfect location. Only an hour drive down to Clearwater. Very prompt response from the management company for a minor repair that needed to be done. Our only complaint was we couldn’t get the house cool enough.

Lovely home

This property was clean and well stocked with all the essentials. It is located in a nice neighborhood on the water. The large sunroom was our favorite place to relax after a day of golf.

Peaceful and tranquil

The property was lovely. Modern with all the necessities you need upon arrival. We loved the view of the water from every room in the home. We were finalizing an after a recent death and this was the place to relax and reflect. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic

The communication was fantastic. Mark wants to do everything he can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Waking up to the water on the harbor is tough to beat and the place was as advertised.

The house was super clean and the host always accessible

We had a very nice 3 night stay. The house was super clean and the host always accessible. We left the house as clean as we found it, so I don’t feel great about having to pay cleaning fees for 3 nights when they only came in to clean it once after we left.

DO NOT BOOK HERE! We stayed for the weekend to go scalloping. The day we arrived the temperature was set to 73 but it was 79 in the house. I immediately contacted the property manager to let them know. They stated they would send somebody out, but never received a call back and no one showed up. The next day we went out on the boat all day so nobody was even in the home and when we returned, it was 80 in the house. I sent multiple pictures to the management company to show them and they stated the same thing that somebody would call us back and be there to fix it. We decided to leave for dinner so we could cool off. We got back at 10 o’clock and still, nobody came to look at the air or even bother to call us back. Sunday morning when we were due to leave, I called again and was advised again that somebody would call me. It is now Tuesday and there has been zero resolution to discuss any type of compensation for our stay. Not to mention, the pictures of the unit were definitely taken on a wide angle because the home is incredibly small.

I have a stress-free moving journey 🙏🏾

Where do I start, well first I will like to thank mark and his team for all they did to make my family and I have a stress-free moving journey 🙏🏾 we stay with Mark for almost Two months and I can say this was the best choice we made. Mark and his team accommodated our family with everything we needed without skipping a beat. They had great communication, they helped with anything we had a problems with and a timely matter, and If we needed them they was there. My family and I thanks mark from emperor and his team again for making our journey possible and easy.

I would definitely recommend this house to my family and friends!

We did not have a single problem with our stay. The beds are so comfortable. Much to our delight we saw a dolphin come right up to the dock. Hope to be back soon 😀
