Another Wonderful Stay

Property is as stated in the listing. Our family opted in for the Pontoon for our stay and we had a wonderful time here. Tarpon Springs - Sponge Docks Street was a pleasant suprise. We also enjoyed Honeymoon Island several mornings finding several keepers of shells.

Lovely Home - Would stay again!

We were in town for the Valspar PGA tournament and this home suited our needs perfectly. Wish we could have spent more time at the home because it has a peaceful view of the water and a family boat. But our trip was quick and we were at the golf course for most of the day. The beds were comfortable and it has a nice living room area that overlooks the water. My daughter and I had a nice morning run on the nearby community trail. The neighborhood felt safe and there are nice restaurants in the area. Great communication with the owner/manager. An all around great weekend!

This property was beautiful the view was tranquil and quite. it was nice to be able to use the boat. Ruth was very kind and always responded to my chat. The neighbors were very friendly and sat and talked with us. Everything was clean and there was notes telling us how to use things that was extremely helpful. There is also a helpful hand book for the boat and house that I enjoyed reading as well. I will definitely be back everything was perfect.

Perfect Vacation to Relax and Unwind

We absolutely loved our stay! The home was gorgeous and fully stocked for our needs. The location was perfect for relaxing on the dock or island hopping to some of the area's most beautiful beaches. We had a minor hiccup with the pontoon, but the property owners were quick to communicate and fixed the issue in a timely manner. Thank you so much for a terrific vacation!

Annual migration south

Delightful house. Very comfortable with a great view of the harbor. We saw dolphins from the back deck along with birds fishing . The highlight of the stay was taking the boat into the gulf to the little island picking up shells. There were also lots of starfish that were really cool.

Everything we were looking for!

My husband and I were looking for a place to work remotely for a couple of weeks in January, where we could also do some biking. This was the perfect spot! Plenty of space and privacy for both of us to get our work done, with easy access to the Pinellas trail for a ride at the end of the day. Ruth was a wonderful host, very responsive from the day we booked through the last day of our stay. And her property is charming -- clean and comfortably furnished, with everything we needed, plus a lovely view of the canal and lots of windows. Top notch!

Great getaway

What a great place to relax and enjoy time with family! I can not say one negative thing about our experience. The home was clean and had almost anything needed for a fun vacation - beach towels, a cooler, kayaks, a boat, a grill, and even an ice machine. Being that it is a 2 bedroom I assumed it would be a bit small, but that was not the case at all. There was plenty of space and a lot of seating inside and out, and the back deck was so beautiful and relaxing. This home will not disappoint. We are already talking about reserving again next year.

Perfect Florida Getaway

After a few long days at Disney World, this property is just what our family needed. A quiet street with direct dock access to the canal, our family loved spending time on the outdoor deck watching dolphins swim by. Very close to the sponge docks, local beaches and shopping, it is the perfect basecamp for a Gulf vacation. Ruth is a very responsive and kind host, with prompt and clear communication. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Ruth!

Super clean, polished terrazzo floors, all the amenities you could ask for.
