Enjoyed our stay in Tarpon Springs. The house was close walking distance to important amenities - park, eateries, shopping- for our party that included a dog. The house was spacious, well appointed with all the necessary things, and spacious for our family. The host was communicative and helpful in sharing all the necessary details for our stay. Would totally recommend staying here!
