Great house

We very much enjoyed our stay at the property. It is well located and very well decorated. There are very many restaurants and the Sponge Docks within walking distance. I was impressed with the smalls things add that you normally don’t see in a rental like charging ports, nightlights in bathrooms, and comfortable beds. We also had good communication with the owners. We will stay in here again when visiting the area in the future.

Beautiful Home

This was the cleanest house we have ever stayed in. It was comfortable and well-stocked. There was also beautiful artwork and furniture throughout the home. The house was walking distance from all our favorite attractions! It was also a short drive to the beach. We loved the house and our vacation!

Long family weekend

We went to Tarpon Springs for a surprise birthday celebration for my aunt. The location of this rental is absolutely perfect. We were able to walk to The Sponge Docks while we had some down time and everything else was just a short drive away. The house was perfect for us and our daughter and family. We will be back the next time we are in the area visiting family.

Great Place and Great Location

Very nice rental with everything you need to enjoy a visit to Tarpon Springs. The house is bright and cheery with 3 nice bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with plenty of towels and linens, a great back porch and private yard area with fire-pit. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to all my questions. The house is walking distance to the sponge docks, shopping and restaurants. We even walked to the historic downtown area which was quite unique and charming. Found a great beach too at Honeymoon Island that was only about a half hour away. We really enjoyed our stay.

Home away from home

Very clean, nicely decorated, open concept 3 bedroom home. Short, easy walk to the sponge docks and many restaurants. 2 couples stayed for a week while attending an on water training camp. We walked to Craig Park twice daily, cooked almost all meals at the house. Enjoyed the back porch and adirondack chairs. Host was quick and easy to communicate with. If we return to Tarpon Springs again next year, we definitely want to stay here again.

Great location

Very clean and modern home, perfectly situated to the Spong Dock area and the Pinellas Trail. This house was stocked with everything you will need to stay in or head out for the day including games/puzzles, beach chairs, and travel cups for your coffee. Want to stay in? The covered porches and firepit were perfect. We were able to rent bikes and experience the Pinellas Trail, which was perfect for our cooler than average days here. The hosts were very responsive and have a meticulously clean home. We highly recommend this location and would love to stay here again if we are ever in the area.

Clean and well appointed

This property has everything you would ever need. They even supply chairs for the beach and movies although we didn’t use any of those but thought they were nice for those who were planning such activities. There were lots of movies and games, and each room had a TV. The kitchen had anything you would need, and the place was very clean. The beds were comfortable, and there is a washer and dryer also. You can walk to the sponge docs and several different restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Best VRBO Ever!

What a great house in a great location! Beautifully appointed with a well stocked kitchen if you want to cook. The house was comfortable and immaculate. We were able to walk down to the sponge docks and local restaurants. We did the wine walk that is sponsored through Tarpon Springs Merchant Association. So much fun and a great way to see the area. Everyone was so friendly. Will definitely come back. 10 out of 10, can’t say enough. Thank you for being a great host!

With you and your family in mind

Spongers, this is your place! Communication was superb off the bat! The hosts are thoughtful, accommodating and quick to help if needed. The house was stocked with everything you'd need for you and your family whether you're just using the house as home-base for all your adventures OR being a homebody at a Vrbo. The open floor plan was large and spacious (he pictures don't do it justice IMO), perfect for your family to be in the same space while maybe engaging in different activities. The location was perfect to walk to restaurants, breweries, splash pad, pinellas trail and sponge docks. One of our best visits to Tarpon. Can't wait to do it again!

We were in a bind because a house we rented through another service was double booked. That other host, through that other service, really messed up the start of our vacation. In desperation, I reached out to Michelle about this property. She went over and above to get us a place to stay. I can honestly say I have never had a better host, and I've stayed in a lot of VRBO properties. The house itself was beautiful. Incredibly clean, and in a great location. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.
