Beautiful home! My husband and I stayed here with our teenage boys for the week. The house had everything we needed and more. We really enjoyed the pool and fishing on the private dock. we even got to see some dolphins and manatees swim by. The house itself was super comfortable, clean and well taken care of. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderfully Kept Vacation Rental

What an attractive well kept vacation rental complete with the well done patio, pool, and dock area to just relax and chill while you enjoy the Florida sunshine! The entire property is beautifully decorated, very homey, and perfectly cleaned and maintained, and is located in an attractive friendly laid back harbor community. This is what we look for in a quality vacation rental. Thanks so much to our hosts for being so welcoming and accommodating as well with excellent communication too!! Cheers!! Dan & Sharon

Everything promised and more....

The house was amazing and worked perfect for our family. Michael was a very accommodating host and easy to work with. We really enjoyed the many extras that they put in to the house such as the beautiful decor, all the toys and amenities you would need for any and all families and also the well stocked kitchen with everything you would ever need. The pool and hot tub were super clean and enjoyed very much. This house was all we could ask for and more.

Beautiful home and amenities. Boating from the home was easy to get to the bay, and from there to downtown Tampa and Beer Can island… fantastic location! Everyone enjoyed cooling off in the gorgeous pool, and the spa heats up quite quickly. Fishing off the dock or from a kayak was fun and easy.

Pool was amazing!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Michael’s place. The pool was amazing, we saw dolphins, manatees, sting rays and a shark in the canal! We caught a couple fish and a blue crab! House was very clean and had all the fixings to go with it. There needs to be a little TLC to the bar stools and grill and we had a small fridge problem but Michael was on it within 30 minutes. Overall we would stay here again!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Palm Tree III

This is a 5 star property that met or exceeded every expectation. The house is beautiful, clean and spacious, and situated in a quiet community. The kitchen was huge and well-equipped and I am envious of the readily available hot water out of the kitchen tap! The 85 inch TV and comfy couch with recliners on the ends in the family room were great for watching the Super Bowl and other sporting events! The property offers three bedrooms that slept 9 in beds and a 10th in a roll-away, and two full bathrooms with plenty of linens and towels. My wife and I loved the outside amenities including kayaking, fishing, and gorgeous sunsets from the dock. And then there is the pool and hot tub with lots of available sunshine and sitting/entertaining space around the outside pool area. Lots of other amenities offered by the owner such as bikes, fishing gear, the kayaks, etc. Mike was very responsive in addressing any questions we had. The house is a reasonable distance from other locations like the city of Tampa, St Petersburg and Sarasota (one of my favorite attractions is the circus museum in Sarasota). Check out the manatee viewing area which is free and very close to the house. We loved dining at Circles restaurant at the Apollo Beach harbor. Read the other Reviews. This place is as advertised, consistently exceptional, and we would love to visit again.
