When we first walked in, all I could say is "WOW". There is a reason why this property has exceptional reviews. Lori had wine and other goodies on the counter for us. Strawberries and grapes in the refrigerator. The home was warm and comfy and beautifully decorated. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could want. Beds and pillows were soft and comfortable.Eating breakfast on the covered lanai area was relaxing. Plenty of seating with a TV also. The pool was perfect and very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and it was nice to have a Publix so close by. Lori is a great host and checked in to see if we needed anything. We have stayed in other VRBO homes, but this one is the best.It was nice we could walk our dog around the neighborhood and feel safe. Neighbors were friendly.Hopefully some day we can come back.
We have been renting in Florida for the month of March for 15 years and this is the best home ever. The house is in a beautiful location that backs up to a wildlife sanctuary. The neighborhood is very quiet. The inside looks like it was staged for a Better Homes and Gardens photo shoot. All appliances are top of the line and the kitchen is outfitted with every possible need. The house is immaculate and the heated pool is cleaned once a week. Lori is a perfect host. She responds to any concerns or questions immediately and is more like a friend than a landlord.
This is an exquisitely beautiful and spacious ranch home in a quiet little Palm Harbor neighborhood. Impeccably clean, lovely decor, the furnishings tasteful, plentiful and comfortable both inside and at the screen covered pool, the landscaping full and lushâŠabsolutely a home deserving 5 stars all around. Lori is wonderful and her generosity an added gift. We wanted for nothing during our 5 day stay thanks to her exceptionally well stocked kitchen and laundry. We made the short drive daily to Duneden to enjoy the best meals and boutique shopping. We particularly enjoyed both The Crown and Bull and The Wild Iris Cafe for outdoor breakfasts. There was a Farmers Market in town center Friday morning as well. Honeymoon Beach was also a short drive and we very much enjoyed our time there. I highly recommended this destination.
I can't say enough good things about this property. It is very clean, extremely well-stocked, thoughtfully decorated, and perfectly located. The layout of the house provides ample room for families and friends to have space to enjoy themselves without tripping over one another, and the backyard is fully fenced and offers plenty of lawn and seating for play and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a vacation home in the area.
This is our third time renting this beautiful property. We will be back! Owner is terrific and a great host - leaving us food, wine and treats. Canât say enough good things, wonderful experience in a great home for both relaxing and entertaining.
This was our second time staying at this beautiful home. Hostess went above and beyond meeting our expectations. The home has everything you could need and want and then some! We didn't want to leave, it's such a beautiful and peaceful home. 5 stars all around!!
We had a fantastic stay at Lori's property! This rental was PERFECT for a family who is looking to relax by the pool. It was also close enough to local attractions (zooo, aquarium, Bush Gardens) for families looking to be out and about.
We have already recommended this property to several people. And we will definitely return to Lori's home on our next visit!
The home was AMAZING...exactly like the pictures. It was immaculately clean. Communication with Lori was easy and comfortable throughout including the whole process of booking, allowing and early check in, meeting her at the house (& her dog Molly:) to ensure everything was in order. She also keeps the kitchen beyond well stocked for her guests and of course we enjoyed her welcome pasta and salad dinner (& bottle of wine!) on our first night there. The home was everything we wanted for our family vacation....beautiful comfortable outdoor space around the pool, including the firepit area and hammock, The location was near stores and resturants, and in a quiet safe neighborhood (enjoyed morning walks). It was also a few minutes from beautiful Honeymoon Beach which we enjoyed immensely! You must eat at Frenchy's near the beach!
I LOVE this home and location and most likely will stay here again if we return to the Clearwater area!!! Beyond 5 stars!!!
This house was perfect in every way. When I was bringing in the luggage my wife was inspecting the house. When I heard the tenth âWowâ, I knew it was going to be good. The house was spotless, all major appliances are top end, and small ones are Cuisinart. The kitchen is loaded with every utensil and condiment imaginable, perfectly organized. The indoor and outdoor furniture are very comfortable, and the layout of the house is perfect. The property backs up to a nature preserve so the are no neighbors visible when sitting outside by the pool. Lori was an excellent host. She had the makings of a spaghetti dinner and wine ready for us when we arrived. We stayed for a month. The landscapers came once a week and used electric mowers, trimmers and blowers.
This property was more than we could have imagined. We have stayed in numerous VRBO homes, and this home far exceeded all our expectations. The home is beautifully decorated, super clean and well maintained. And, yes, the spaghetti dinner, wine, fruit and chocolates were just what we needed after a long day of driving! It definitely felt like a home away from home. It is so well stocked with everything you would ever want in the kitchen which made it so easy to make meals. Every time we had a question the homeowner was very quick to respond and help us out. It all made for a wonderful vacation away from the frigid cold and snow. The location is also perfect for spending time on the beach or a day at Busch Gardens. We look forward to spending time here again!!! Only next time - definitely staying longer! Thank you, Mae, for being such a wonderful hostess.
This was by far the very best VRBO experience we have had in our many years of travel. Lori could not possibly have done more to make our stay at her place more wonderful. She is kind, thoughtful, gracious - simply all around fabulous and went way out of her way to assist us in a difficult situation. This house is immaculate, comfortable, private and beautifully decorated. I would absolutely echo all the amazingly terrific reviews Lori has gotten from her many happy guests. She goes way above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your stay. Top notch in every respect!
This house and the neighborhood are very inviting; we felt extremely comfortable and safe from the start. The decor and layout are exceptional. You can see the entire living area and the pool area from the kitchen, and the master is on the opposite side of the house from the other two bedrooms, which lends privacy. The backyard faces south and gets sun almost all day, and itâs completely fenced in, with plenty of grass. Lori was very responsive, and the entire process was seamless. We hope this house is available next time we are in the area!
Though our flights were canceled due to travel and we were unable to stay at this property, Lori was such an attentive host that we plan to rebook with her in the future. We could not have asked for better communication and kindness. We have stayed at a lot of VRBOâs and never had this level of personal communication. Would highly recommend!
First of all Lori is a wonderful owner, so easy to talk with and very accommodating, The home is beautiful and lacks for nothing. She has it all. If you are staying at this home you didn't go wrong! You picked the perfect place!!
Beautiful home, great location. I wanted to move in!!
Thank you Lori...and until we rent again, God Bless!! Cathy F
We have been using VRBO vacation homes since 2006, and this is, by far, the best one weâve experienced. First, it has a great location. The beach, Busch Gardens and Tampa are all a short drive away. The neighborhood was very peaceful and perfect for taking our dog for a walk. Second, the property was spectacular. The living areas, both indoors and out, were unmatched by all the other homes weâve stayed in. The pool is a nice size for everyone to share. Finally, the kitchen was well-equipped with good quality cookware, dishes and utensils. The stocked pantry had everything we needed (even though we brought a lot with us). The whole experience was like staying at our home away from home.
A home for all ages! Traveled with my husband and children ages 13,9,and 4. Clean, spacious, tastefully decorated home. The home is equipped with the works from kitchen appliances, bikes, towels, toiletries, kid toys and books, pool supplies, beach chairs, fire pit, beach toys.% would stay again with or without my children, the home suites any age. The host is an added bonus with her genuine hospitality and attentive nature.
I canât say enough about this fabulous host Lori and her beautiful home! She went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The home is even more beautiful in person. The house has all the amenities you could possibly need for a great stay. The beds were so comfortable and the entire home is beautifully decorated and spotless. This is definitely the nicest home weâve stayed at!
The highlight of our week was the outdoor living space with a gorgeous pool. We will most definitely be back!
Our family of 6 stayed at Loriâs home for a week, she met us at the home when we first got into town to make sure we had everything we needed and answer any questions we had. Upon arrival she had the ingredients for a spaghetti dinner as well as a fruit and cheese board with a bottle of wine and drinks for the kids, after an 18 hour drive this was very much appreciated. Lori was an excellent host, she made sure that we had everything that we could possibly need including body wash and shampoo, laundry detergent, and all of the things you donât necessarily think of until you need it!đ€Ł The kitchen was fully stocked and she even had tons of seasoning and oils to use for cooking. The home itself was in a perfect location for our family, we like to be close to the hustle and bustle without feeling like weâre surrounded by people, Loriâs house was the perfect choice for our stay. We visited Honeymoon Island almost daily, less than a 15 minute drive from the house, beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise waters. Our kids enjoyed the pool every day of our stay, the water temperature was perfect and the pool was sparkling clean. We will definitely book again when we come back!
My family and I enjoyed the week at this beautifully decorated and exquisite home. We didnât have to worry about anything because everything was provided for us. The owner was exceptional and was top notch. We have traveled all over Florida, and this home by far is the best so far. We will plan on another trip in the near future to stay at this beautiful beach home.
The house felt like home the moment we arrived. Lori had everything waiting for us upon arrival. The house was spotless and the pool was perfect. Lori is an amazing host!
The home was absolutely perfect, the space and layout accommodated my family comfortably. It had everything you could possibly need. The home is so well kept up and no expense was spared in the decor, truly the niced home i have ever rented.
