The hosts were terrific, the home was adorable, comfortable and extremely well equipped, and the location was a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the locations we wanted to explore.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Little Slice of Key West. The home was very well stocked and super clean for our stay. The neighborhood is on a quiet street where we could get in daily walks and the canal provided us with bird watching, fishing and even a visiting alligator. Our hosts always responded quickly to our questions or concerns. Our two weeks were especially good for escaping the single digit temps up north!
The floor plan was well laid out. The screened porch was nice to have morning coffee and watch the wildlife on the canal. The home was furnished with everything you would need and had a large selection of coffee choices. Kitchen was well furnished. Lots of yard games and fishing poles fully equipped for fishing in the canal.
Everything was just as described. House had everything we needed (towels, beach chairs, coffee bar, etc..) and was perfect for our long weekend. The canal location was peaceful and beautiful.
We enjoyed our stay very much, we got a City Pass and enjoyed all the amenities that came with that using your home to rest and enjoy while we were there.
This place was perfect for us. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. The hosts were very accommodating and prompt with communication. We very much enjoyed fishing (and catching) in the backyard. Definitely recommend.
Well equip kitchen, beds sleep great, and bedrooms are nice. Very good communication. Only downside was my wife bumped her head on the metal pipe shelf next to kitchen table when getting up from table. Lots of extras in garage, fishing poles and tackle, kayaks and more. Look forward to renting again next year during the Valspar Golf Tourament.
This place in Palm Harbor is fantastic. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house is well appointed. The hosts are extremely congenial. I wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back.
We had a wonderful vacation-this home was perfect for our family of 4. It is close to everything…on the lake for the fishermen in the group, close to beaches & other attractions for the explorers. Plenty of restaurants to choose from-we enjoyed taking the boat over to the Tarpon Turtle for a couple of meals. The property owner was awesome to deal with…she was very quick to respond to any questions I had before traveling as well as giving recommendations since it was our first time visiting the area. The home was comfortable and well stocked, just as described. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone traveling to Lake Tarpon. We would also recommend Gulf Coast Expeditions…we went on a manatee snorkeling trip with them & had a blast!
Had a great time at this charming property. The house was fully equipped and very clean. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is convenient to local attractions and shopping. The beaches at Clearwater and Dunedin are phenomenal. We especially liked hanging out in the yard along the canal.
We hope to come back again.

The house was perfect for my husband and I. We were in Florida for a graduation and the two bedrooms allowed our granddaughter to spend a couple of nights. Conveniently located to so many beaches, parks, restaurants, etc. The owners were great. Communication was easy, quick and clear. The kitchen was well stocked with spices. Plenty of fishing poles in the garage and the screened porch was like being at home for morning coffee. I highly recommend this location.
The house was charming and has a tropical character.
Very comfortable and perfect location for our needs.
The Host was very attentive and seemed very conscientious and accommodating.
Location on a canal that leads out to the lake was nice ambience and helpful for boaters.
Loved the friendly local bar & grill “Snappers Grill”…great fish tacos and fish n chips!
Overall, we couldn’t have chosen a better property for our week stay in sunny Palm Harbor.
Beautiful Key West experience in Palm Harbour! When walking the area the people we met were very friendly and welcoming. The accommodations were just as in the pictures - as others have commented the coffee bar was a nice touch. Lots of fishing supplies for the fisherman at heart. The only thing my husband was a little concerned about was the ability for people who would like to kayak but are inexperienced in the getting in and out of a kayak as the kayak is much lower than the dock level. We would definitely stay there again!
Our family stayed here for 9 nights and it was an excellent location for all of the activities that we did around Florida. Centrally located to most things we wanted to do and only 30 mins from the airport. The house was exactly as described and had plenty of room for our family. The outdoor area with a fire pit and dock to sit on were well used. We all kayaked and even caught some bass right from the dock! The garage was full of extras that helped make our stay even better. Fishing gear, lawn chairs and more. The owners were very helpful and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend if you want a quiet and peaceful home to relax in while in the area.
We really loved our stay here! It had everything we meed butt didn't think we did ! Very clean , roomy , and comfortable ! We played family board games at night , ate out on the patio for dinner , cooked all meals there . We were able to cook comfortably in the kitchen all appliances are brand new! Plus a laundry room which was noce as well. We are booking in june again next year ! We spent lots of time as a family laughing in the living room and at dinner . We never used the t.v once
This was an ideal place to stay for a long weekend. They had all the basics which meant we could just slide right in and start enjoying! The place is exactly as shown in the pictures with a lot of really nice touches like coffee pods waiting for you bottled water in the fridge.
I took the fishing kayak out twice a day for several hours. It is a beautiful lake and there are some really big bass in there! It is a quiet, safe little neighborhood very near tons of places to eat. They have several extra fishing rods and other equipment in the garage.
Finally, I can’t say enough about the host. They were fantastic and responded to every question I had very quickly. I stay at a lot of VRBO properties and this is a really good value and completely hassle free!
LOVED this home on a canal on Lake Tarpon. First and most importantly, it was clean as a whistle! Updated interior throughout, and every amenity you could want. Seriously! Owners have thought of everything! And if you're a coffee lover, they have an amazing coffee bar. Kitchen is fully equipped. We only cooked scrambled eggs for breakfast, and ate out for lunch and dinner, or take-outs that could be microwaved, as we really only wanted to sit outside by the canal to enjoy the water and wildlife. The enlarged screened-in lanai was our next favorite place, where we ate breakfast and dinner leftovers - no bugs/mosquitos! Bed was very comfortable. We walked 2 miles every morning throughout the neighborhood at about 6:45 am, all quiet. A few walkers, one or 2 cyclists and a few cars. Everyone waved or said hello. We felt very safe.
Owners are on top of everything and respond quickly.
We will return! Many thanks, Lorrie and Ron!
PS...Do not miss restaurants Rusty Bellies or Ozona Blue!
We found the home to be stylistically eclectic, fun, and so very comfortable, with nearly every need made available.
There were tons of linens and towels, extra fleece throws for cuddling into on chilly evenings, even sun screen and insect repellent if you forgot yours!!!. The availability to use the fishing equipment and kayaks from dockside or while adventuring out on Tarpon Lake was wonderful. Early mornings and late afternoons we could see the fish jumping in the canal. Our children and granddaughter came to visit and really enjoyed these amenities.
The kitchen is fairly well appointed, with many spices, basic oils, flour, sugar, plastic wrap, storage bags, and foils provided. Additionally, there was a good selection of bake-ware, colanders, lidded pots and pans, knives and an assortment of kitchen utensils. The few items missing, we purchased and gifted to the home as so much had been offered to us graciously. We cooked and baked many fresh fish dinners and meals in that kitchen comfortably. We highly recommend grouper and red snapper from the fresh caught seafood market in Tarpon Springs, only 12-15 minutes away. So Yummy...
I accidently left some personally items behind and the hosts are kindly shipping them back to me! Wow!! Thank you, Ron and Lorrie!!
We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Perhaps for a longer time as the region has so much to explore.
It was a true gift to have such thoughtful consideration from our hosts.
