The home is beautiful and is a little slice of heaven!The host was kind and gracious, we hope to return soon would definitely recommend! our dog love to lay on the back porch and watch the boats go by, very peaceful and zen atmosphere
The host is as always wonderful to work with and is in constant contact, if needed. I really enjoy staying here, as the host has everything you could ever want or need available. The location is beautiful, private and quiet. The sunsets are the best. This is my go to place whenever i have to travel to the home office for work!
This place was perfect! I needed a place to recover after thyroid surgey and this place was amazing! It's relaxing, full of beautiful nature, and so calming! I would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you Tammy for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Beautiful property with great views and amenities. We really enjoyed seeing dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife. The house is perfect for a couple or small family. I wish i could have enjoyed the property more, however, i was in town for work. This is definitely someplace we would definitely want to book and stay again. It is very close to my home office and all kinds of activities and stores.
This was are second time staying at this property and everything is so perfect from the location to the cleanliness of the accommodations. Definitely would recommend it to all visiting the Tampa Bay area.
This place is amazing! The pictures do it justice. It was well stocked with bath linens and kitchen accessories. Kayaks and fishing equipment were available as well. I highly highly recommend this place for a nice quiet getaway! Thank you Tami!!
Our stay was great, we saw manatee’s almost every night right from the deck. The property was perfect for our stay and Tami was a great host with great communication.
Ideal home for a nice relaxing get away. Very nice proprty right on the water. Deck is fabulous. Everything we needed for our stay. Tami was very nice and helpful.
The title says it all “Perfect in every way!” Excellent place to stay. Attentive host! Sunsets were amazing from balcony and yard. Location was centralized for all our events. Will visit and stay next time in Tampa.
Everything about this place was perfect. The house was extremely clean, it's right on the water. We saw manatees and dolphins go by right from the porch. Tami was easy to work with. Everything you need for a relaxing stay is here!
This property is very, very well maintained and very clean and quiet. Located on the water and at an end of a street makes the property very quiet and provides access to nature. Really enjoyed sitting out next to the water and on the well equipped deck and just chilling out :). Would recommend this property to anyone and we look forward to reserving the property again when we are in the area. Thanks for a terrific stay!
Had a wonderful stay. Was here for surgery and Tami was very kind and accommodating. We had privacy and during our stay we saw dolphins, manatees, and a variety of bird life. The place is clean and bed is very comfortable. The jetted tub was wonderful to have. The view is beautiful Thank you Tami
Beautiful home on the bay where I was able to see dolphins, rays, fish & a variety of birds. This was a home away from home fully stocked with everything you would need while vacationing including kayaks & paddle board which was a fantastic bonus! Great communication from the owner ensuring that everything was ok during my stay. Very quick response when I had a question. Absolutely loved my stay here & hope to stay again while visiting my son nearby.
Great House! Great Location!! Great Host!!!The water view is pristine and all around. We saw a dolphins on a last day! The kids fish all day. It was my son favorite house in our road trip.The kids preferred to stay at the house instead doing cool tourist activities. Awesome!!
My wife and I live fulltime in vacation rentals throughout the country. This rental was ideally located for our needs as we had business in the Tampa area. While relatively small, the space is arranged in a very logical and efficient manner, making it seem larger than it is.The unit was very clean and included all the kitchen equipment and supplies we needed. There was plenty of hot water, which is frequently not the case in rentals. A TV in the bedroom would be a nice touch. However, the internet signal was strong enough for us to stream movies on our laptop without issue. Due to its proximity to a very busy 6-lane highway, sometimes it was noisy on the balcony. However, inside was very quiet. The view was outstanding if you like seeing pelicans and dolphins.Tami was a great host. Even though she lives on the floor above the rental, she was unobtrusive and very quiet. That said, she was very responsive to our needs. For example, when the propane tank to the grill ran out, a fresh one showed up at the entryway the next morning.All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Tami's rental and highly recommend it.
My fiance and I stayed for our first vacation get-a-way alone and ended up coming home married! This is such an amazing place of tranquility, yet close to restaurants and plenty of activities close enough to visit. We were able to enjoy watching the manatee, dolphins, fish jump for joy, crabs and lizards. There are also 2 kayaks and a paddle board that we enjoyed. This is the perfect place to relax and have activities for everyone. We are bringing our kids back to share in our next celebration to reunion where we got married. You will never forget this stay….. so don’t pass this one by.
The property was very nice at the end of a street and on a canal. The apartment is the downstairs of a two story house and the owner does use the upstairs, but we didn't have any issue at all with noise. The property isn't brand new, but well maintained and has a nice outdoors area (although not super large) with a picnic table available. It also has a nice porch area with a gas BBQ grill which we used while there. Fishing equipment was available as well, but we didn't try our hand at fishing while there. My wife was able to cook Christmas dinner with the pot/pans/utensils that were at the property (we did buy a pan for turkey). If not for the traffic noise (outside only), you wouldn't even realize that you are in the city. All lights switches were labeled which made it easier to figure out everything. Tami responded very quickly to any questions or info we requested. We would book again.
It was peaceful but since its pet friendly there were flees inside the home. Other than that it was ok. Your paying for the view not really the house. The host stays on the upper level when she is home you can hear her and her dog walking around. The second room smelled like a wet dog, the appliances are outdated no wash clothes to wash dishes had to use paper towels and dish soap. Got accused of burning the stove when it wasnt anything to clean with did my best to clean. I informed the host that i was driving from Atlanta to Florida she kept texting me asking questions even though she could see my location. I didn't really enjoy myself with all of the flee bits that my wife and myslef recieved.
The owner just remodeled and put new flooring and ceiling fans throughout. It's even better than before. Definitely my go-to place when i travel in for work!
