We had a wonderful time! House was very clean and in the absolute safest area. The pool was beautiful and warm. We were able to bring our 20 ft boat, launch at the on property boat ramp and tie up to the on property dock. The canal was a very short distance from the intercoastal waterway. The master bed was very comfortable and we could even bring our dog! Absolutely fabulous stay, will rent again!!

We were so impressed and pleased with this house. Lots of parking, plenty of room and the patio with the pool is simply awesome! We had an amazing time! We were celebrating my 50th Birthday and this place was perfect for the party. There were all kinds of things in the kitchen to help us with the party, and the downstairs kitchen had a bar that was perfect for a buffet style layout. Many of the people who attended are thinking of staying at the house for a trip to one of the most beautiful places in Florida.

The pool was not heated, then the owner put in a claim that it broke when we stayed there. We were hardly there anyway due the Lacrosse tournament. We had a Pool Cleaning company owner staying with us and looked at the motor, it was blown before we got there.

Super convenient, great value!!!
We stayed with a large group and young kids. Pool is perfect for little ones with a large shallow step. Boat ramp onsite is extremely convenient, plenty of room to park trucks, cars and trailers. Having the downstairs kitchen by the pool AND the upstairs main kitchen gave us plenty of fridge space for multiple families. House is located a quick boat ride from Eggmont, Tampa Bay, and lots of inshore fishing. Jackie was extremely responsive and proactive. We will definitely be back.

Family Time
There were 5 adults and one toddler in our group. The absolute best part of this property is the pool and the pool area. The pool was a perfect temperature for all of us and there was plenty of outdoor seating. The upstairs area of the house is beautiful and very spacious, with a separate kitchen, dining, and living area from the downstairs.The bedrooms are large and the beds are very comfortable. The property is a short drive from fabulous beaches and despite the high winds while we were there, we had a wonderful time at Coquins Beach.

It’s an awesome location! The hangout area on the lower level is really cool, and it’s in closed which is so nice. It’s 2 completely separate levels with separate kitchens and bathrooms.
