Great stay. Owner was easy to talk to, very up front and agreeable. Place was cozy and clean - great AC because it was hot!!! Had a great time with my family (Teens and adults - 6 people).
We stayed here because of closeness to visiting family, and we were able to golf in the area also. Everything was as described. Too cold to use the pool, but it looked inviting.
We were in town for a family wedding. The home we rented was extremely clean and well laid out for what we needed. It was close to everything in Apollo Beach and felt very private.
Host is absolutely amazing very nice and upbeat. The property is very clean very comfortable and quiet. It’s exactly as listed. Would definitely recommend and return.
We enjoyed our stay at the Flamingo House. Everything was very clean and in working order. The bathrooms were newly remodeled. We enjoyed the pool on warm days (beach towels were also provided!) and used the kitchen for a few meals. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to Apollo Beach activities. We would stay here again.

11/10!
A perfect house for our family (2 adults, 3 small kids). Very clean and well kept, Linda was very helpful and willing to assist with any issues that could’ve come up. They had a packnplay as well as some toys which was very helpful. We would love to come back for another trip!
We were pleasantly surprised to see the home exceeded our expectations upon arrival. Due to my own confusion, I had to call the host and have her explain to me how to enter via keyless entry (even though her emailed instructions were very clear) and she answered immediately and was so kind and helpful. The home and pool were immaculate! We quickly felt at home during our stay at the Flamingo house.
This property suited our needs perfectly. It was clean and in the location we needed. Very responsive hosts. My only recommendation is to have more toilet paper on hand. There was an extra roll in each bathroom, but it was not sufficient for the needs of three women.

Busy street
Sliders to back porch did not lock. Pool was not heated. Beds were not comfortable. Garage half full of boxes. Street was very busy! Positives were host is across the street and was very helpful. Provided a couple items we needed very quickly. Very pleasant people. Spacious house.
Absolute cutest house ever. When i say they thought of everything, i mean they thought of everything. There was coolers to go to beach, beach towels, laundry detergent, bbq, dish soap, floating devices for pool, make up remover, coffee, tea, seasoning, sticky notes on walls and windows about how things work and where light swtiches are located. You do need a car to get around but it's a nice place to take a walk. Enough places to eat and groceries nearby. Tampa is only 30 minutes drive. We had an absolute blast while we were there. We will most definitely be staying here again when we come back to this area..... switchelocated
We had a great stay! The house was perfect for us. Parents in one bedroom, kids in the twin beds, grandparents in another. Everyone raved about the comfort of the mattresses. The extra door to the living room gave peace of mind when littles went to sleep so the adults could still watch tv. The pool was fabulous and having green space to kick a ball was great. It was so nice to not have to worry about extras, like toilet paper, plastic bags, laundry detergent, all those little extras you have to worry about when renting a house. Stuff for the beach, toys and books for the little kids, this house had it all. Great base for all of our Tampa, Bradenton visits. The only con I heard all trip was that the bathroom was a bit through the house if you need to use it while in the pool.
We had a fabulous stay in Apollo Beach! This home is very well taken care of and the host, Linda, was very kind and accommodating! She was available via texts with any questions and very helpful with places to visit. We enjoyed the sun by the pool, the house was very clean and comfortable and we look forward to visiting again someday! I highly recommend this place! It’s a quiet neighborhood and safe walking distance to stores, restaurants and nice sunsets over the bay!a great long weekend in the Tampa area with a wonderful VRBO for our down time!!
Host was absolutely amazing, kind, and upbeat. Property was very clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. It is a quiet and clean neighborhood. Overall experience was excellent will definitely return and recommend.

Flamingo House
We throughly enjoyed our stay. The house was stocked with what we needed and our kids loved the pool. Check in was very easy.
This was our first VRBO experience and we were extremely satisfied. The home was immaculate, comfortable beds, fully stocked with everyday needs and we especially liked the neighborhood. We enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to sites we wanted to visit. We would highly recommend it!
The place was very clean,an commodities were wonderful...The hospitality was great ,the owner very sqwwt an personable...We can't wait to come back next yr..Would highly recommend this place...
Had a fabulous time at the Flamingo House.
Our hosts provided everything we needed: coffee pods, detergent etc. The house is gorgeous and we would recommend it highly.
We totally enjoyed our stay! Property was convenient, clean and everything we needed was already there.
We recommend getting better seating in the livingroom and a better mattress for the master. We would stay again!
The house is really nice we were out of electricity for a couple of hours because of hurricane debby but host were amazing at solving any problems for us!
It had been years since my boys had seen there grandma and aunt. We decided to stay at the flamingo house. It was much more than we had expected.

Exceptional host clean and comfortable great location
Our 2 week stay at Flamingo house was exactly the winter get away we hoped for. The house is very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. It was great to start our days in the lanai and relaxing in and around the pool and winding down grilling our dinner with the grill provided ( a huge plus was the extra propane tank waiting in the garage ). The location has many good restaurants, beaches, and local attractions minutes away. It is also less than a 1 hour drive to Tampa/St. Pete or Saratoga or any place in between.
Pete and Linda are exceptional host quick to respond and go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
The property is very cute and was perfect for a family of five. Well maintained and in a quiet neighborhood close to things we needed. There were nice amenities to enjoy the well-kept pool and beach. Nice washer and dryer and plenty of linens. However, we did not have good communication with the management, and we were given incorrect access codes late in the day and then correct ones after the check in time. No one answered at the number I called. Not great after a long day traveling. There was small bits of trash under beds like an empty Gatorade bottle, and the master shower head needs to be replaced or cleaned to work properly. I would have given 5 stars, but I didn’t like not knowing if I’d be able to get into the house or get ahold of someone to help.
We recently stayed at the Flamingo House while visiting family. The house size worked well for my in-laws, husband, infant son, and me. The provided pack-n-play was essential for our baby's sleep and even had a fitted sheet. I had naively packed us swimsuits, but the pool was too cold for our preference. A few issues came up during our stay, one being a need for replacement bathing towels. Luckily, the owners responded to our texts and addressed them as they live nearby. I will agree with another reviewer who suggested new cushioned furniture. They are less comfy than they look and tricky to get out of (especially when holding a baby). Wasn't a deal breaker though.
