Adorable Waterfront guest house

10/10 Excellent

"Adorable Waterfront Guest House"

5 Bed/4 Bath Waterfront Pool Home In Apollo Beach

10/10 Excellent

"While there were a few minor hiccups (electric lock got knocked out by lightning, and a fire alarm that loved to chirp) those issues were immediately addressed. The house is well stocked, if you forgot something it’s probably there! The gameroom, theater, pool spa were awesome. The rooms were immaculate. Overall a 9 out of 10 the landscaping could use some love and the pool deck had vegetation growing through the pavers in several areas. Other than that it would be an easy 10. We left wanting to immediately book another bit longer family get away. Our two adult children and their spouses along with the grandkids never got in each others way - there’s plants of room for everyone! Bonus points for the Christian decorations tastefully throughout the house!"

Gray Dolphin — Waterfront Home with Heated Saltwater Pool, Dock & Kayaks

10/10 Excellent

"Our host was very communicative and answered any questions that we had promptly and any concerns. I would definitely rent this property again if I were to come down here."

Jamaican Relaxation 3 bedrooms heated pool and unique game room

10/10 Excellent

"Great house, clean and comfortable. Loved the pool and the privacy."

Pet Friendly! Canal-Front Apollo Beach Gem w/ Pool

10/10 Excellent

"The home has been newly renovated and it is a large open space home. We had a problem getting the email for the door code which was upsetting since we have never had that problem with any other property rental we have had. The pool needs additional attention for there is rust on the bottom. We arrived and the pool was unusable due to debris in the pool but the company made it right and it was cleaned up in a timely manner. The home is comfortable except for the pillows on the beds. They are the worst I have ever had. I recommend the home for overall it was great. Just a few little things they can improve on but overall you can’t beat the view."

Beautiful Beach House for a Relaxing Getaway!1700 sqft 3BD/2BA, Free WiFi.

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, the view sells the property. Pros, location, views, pool, very clean inside. Cons, needs updating, outside areas dirty, netting needs replacing, some panels missing completely which were repaired but still gaps and therefore lots of bites. Would still return due to view and location."

Waterfront 3BR in Apollo Beach — Private Solar Pool, Dock & Boat Lift

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! The home is beautiful, well maintained, and peaceful. The pool and view of the canal was fantastic. The owners were very timely with their communication and were receptive any time we reached out to them. We highly recommend this property!"

Canal Front Retreat | Pool, Hot Tub, Dock + Game Room
