Absolute perfection! This house has been revamped - brand new appliances, marble countertops, new flooring - all in a timeless white / off white color scheme. We felt like weâd stepped into a magazine! Brand new kitchenware (plates / utensils / pots and pans), beautiful new bedding, lush throw blankets around the house for snuggling up in the AC after a long day in the sun. The bathrooms were beautiful and functional - suited our family of 6 just perfectly. The outside pool was, by far, everything we had hoped and wanted it to be. I had pool floats / tubes delivered to the house (Amazon) â there were days we didnât even leave the house and just lounged by the pool the entire day. We felt so at home here. If I could rate this house 10 stars, I would!
This is the second time we've rented this house and it was just as good as the first time! Location is close to lots of fun things to do and it's just as enjoyable staying home and relaxing by the pool and enjoying the view!
The house was absolutely beautiful and located in a perfect location near a main canal leading to the Gulf of Mexico . There was ample seating for guests on the patio, in addition to a tiki bar.
This home is exactly as advertised. It is comfortable (beds were amazing). Tons of kitchen stuff and the pool was perfect. Fishing off the private dock was a fun activity. It is a quiet neighborhood near everything. A great home base for shopping, the beach and downtown Tampa. We enjoyed the property and our time in Florida immensely.
Beautiful clean house with outstanding views. The owner was friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need.
We had a very enjoyable stay.
We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful place. The home is just like the pictures and the owner was very responsive to our questions. We loved the views, the pool area, and the location on the canal system. This rental home is well stocked and maintained. The Gulf Harbor neighborhood is very nice and close to grocery stores and restaurants.
The house was beautiful the pictures dont do it justice.The property was amazing and the resort like atmosphere just made it that much more better. We greatly enjoyed our stay and the owner was a great host. He answered every call and question we had we will definitely be booking again. Do yourself the favor and book this property.
Do not believe the bad reviews!! This property is in great condition. Lovely home and grounds. New Tiki Bar, Dock and everything up to date. The pool was glorious, beds comfy, kitchen stocked. Enjoyed sitting by the pool and canal with all the wildlife visiting.
This property has the ideal outdoor setup! The sandpit was the perfect spot to watch the sunrise in the morning. The dock was brand new and perfect for our rental boat as well as fishing. The owner was wonderful about answering any questions prior to and during our stay. We would definitely come back!
The property met and exceeded our expectations. The inside of the house had enough space to accommodate a family without feeling crowded. The owner provided amenities needed to make a memorable experience. The views from the backyard of the house were amazing as you watched a parade of boats all day long. We even saw two dolphins swim by the dock of the house.
Great place for 3 couples
Close to the ocean was able to park our boat there
Online pics just two pics were not accurate one was water spouting out and the other was outdoor type barbecue area but it still had a barbecue !!
Caught fish on canal seen dolphins catching fish!!
Very close to restaurants and shopping area
Pool table could use some updated pool sticks
But was still usable and it did get used!!! In the evenings due to the no see ums but all in all very good place
Would stay there again!!
We split the difference between Tampa and Crystal River by staying here. It was relaxing. The house, pool, and outside were all very clean. Great views of the water and wildlife on the little canal. We saw opossum, manatee, eagles, cranes, dolphins, and all other sorts of birds and creatures from the dock and pool. It was quite and just a really nice place to spend time with family. The owner was very responsive. Great property for a peaceful getaway.
Marc was great. Answered very promptly. The pool chairs outside could use updating. Interior very clean and nice. We wish we had better weather to use the pool. Caught a bunch of different fish from the dock. Nice week.
This vacation rental was wonderful.
The inside was spacious, clean, well decorated and had all your cooking & serving needs.
Outside living by the pool sitting back and relaxing is a must.
For touring around parks, shopping and further away cities it is very convenient.
The private beach for Gulf Harbor residence and guest is a bonus.
Never crowded, well maintained and friendly staff.
Marc, the owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had.
Great vacation destination and home.
Thank you Marc for sharing your home.
We just got back from a 10 day stay at this beautiful property. The house was clean and nicely decorated. The open concept house and all its amenities were perfect for our family get-togethers during the holidays. We loved the pool area with the tiki hut for grilling and outside dining. Everyone enjoyed lounging on the waterfront watching the Florida birds and dolphins swimming by. We all borrowed the kayaks and paddled through the canals and out into the gulf. Marc, the owner, was very friendly and easy to work with, making the check-in and check-out very smooth. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again.
If you like the pictures then you will absolutely LOVE the house! My family (4 adults and 3 children) stayed a week and were very comfortable with the accomodations. Our kids spent hours in the pool while the adults lounged around it. We fished off the dock and spent many nights under the tiki hut grilling out for dinner. The house is conveniently located to Tarpon Springs, Tampa, Clearwater and the surrounding areas. I strongly suggest a visit to Honeymoon Island State Park and Anclote Island - the beaches are wonderful. Marc was really easy to work with and quick to answer any questions we had. I look forward to coming back!
The location of this house is amazing; however the no-see-ums were horrible and without the screen it was not possible to sit outside at dinner time or after, or in the mornings. The house could use a little "refresh"...particularly the bed in the little bedroom. Both parties that stayed in that room did not sleep well. A couple of the small kitchen appliances did not work, but we made do without.....I brought my own coffee pot thankfully as the Keurig did not work.
My family of 4 had an amazing stay in this home! It was clean, spacious and was perfect for our family vacation. The kitchen was spacious with plenty of seating and well stocked. The pool table was a hit with our teen boys (although it has seen better days) and we were happy to use it! The outdoor space was beautiful, including a clean pool, tiki bar, plenty of lounge chairs and a great dock that my boys spent hours fishing off of! We were able to see stingrays, a dolphin and a manatee right off our dock! We had an issue with the coded lock one day but Marc was easy to get a hold of and had it fixed before we even got back from our errands. He even gave us a late check out last minute due to our late flight and me spacing out our 11:00 checkout! I would absolutely stay here again! I think this home would be great for a family or even 2 or 3 couples!

I am a custom home builder and remodeler originally from NY. I purchased the house as a second home to enjoy with my family. We live in Springhill FL which is about 45 from the property. The house has been renovated and remodeled and is a great home to get away to. We enjoy it and you will too!
