Great Pool and House

The pool was excellent! The pool deck was large for all to enjoy. The only downside of our stay was the neighbor across the canal that clearly did not want anyone enjoying the outdoors.

Apollo Beach

The check in process was super easy. Pool was nice, nice big open kitchen/living room. Our complaints were we found multiple roaches in the house and garage(after 4 days of being there). It was easy to see that the sheets on multiple beds were NOT wash prior to our arrival. We had multiple house guest get bit from something in the beds the first night there. When I tried to contact the host, I was never able to get ahold of anyone. Yes we did complete our trip cause we had NO where else to go. But we washed bedding and sprayed the roach killer they had in the house. The area was super quiet but it’s obvious the neighbors do NOT want guest in the neighborhood.

Relaxing paradise

First off the owners of the property were super accommodating. They even brought us a delicious fresh avocado from their tree. The home was beautiful. The pool and outdoor space was incredible! We spent most of our week in the pool. Sadly we did not see any dolphins 😞 The available kayaks were a nice touch! You don’t get that little extra at most places.

Wow!

This was seriously one of the best Thanksgivings we have had as a family and this home was the perfect place to house us all! From the pool (pay to heat it! Its worth it!), to the beautiful canal with dolphins and sealife almost everytime we sat out there, it was incredible. 5 stars!

Best property owner

We have stayed at many VRBO rental houses but this owner went above and beyond to make us happy. We had the privilege of staying at three of this owners rental homes during our stay at Apollo Beach. Each home was a beautiful propery, in a great location, and included a fantastic owner experience. The owner never stopped doing what they could to help us make the best of our time in Apollo Beach. When we come back to this area, we will stay in this owners properties. Thanks for all you did for us.

Beautiful views and amazing people- dolphins and manatees visited!!!

Stayed here for a month and it was beautiful. The outdoor area was wonderful. Outdoor Furniture further from the slider is in really poor shape and not really usable, so we only used the one table just at the slider. Needed some more attention to cleaning the pool deck and doing something with the kids stuff for the pool as it was just in a dirty heap at the foot of the stairs outside Overall our month long stay was wonderful and I would recommend this home highly. The people in the neighborhood were amazing. Felt like home

Quiet neighborhood, great pool

This home has a fantastic salt water pool and pool area. Perfect for spending the day in the water with the family. The host was very good at communicating and prompt. The neighborhood was very quiet. The neighbors, unfortunately, did not tolerate any noise day or night. So if the kids were outside in the pool during the day, they made it very clear they did not like the noise of kids playing (mainly the guy across the canal). He was actually quite rude, mimicking our kids! This was a huge downfall of our stay. The cleanliness of the bathroom was not that great..there was black mold in the bathtub. We would recommend bringing your own pillows because the ones that were provided were very hard and

Needs some attention

We came here with some close friends for a week of vacation. There are pros and cons to this property. Pros: Plenty of beds for a large group Close to shopping Within an hour drive of some really nice beaches. We visited Siesta Key and it was awesome. The water was beautiful. Within 30-40 minutes of Busch Gardens and downtown Tampa. The pool was awesome Communication with the property owner was nice when we couldn’t get the hot tub to work. They are very responsive to questions. Cons: The house wasn’t very clean with crumbs that were found in one of the beds, dirty bathroom mats. Not enough towels for large groups and we ended up buying towels for our stay. Not enough toilet paper, paper towels available for a week and we had to purchase more. We also ran out of garbage bags. The furniture seemed dingy- would recommend something other than fabric so it could be wiped down. The pool needs to be cleaned. There were things floating in it and sand and debris at the bottom as well as kids toys. The pool guy came once while we were there but it really needs a good filter to clear all the debris floating in it. Please be aware of the bugs outdoors. We had numerous bites that have been terrible. Definitely recommend bug spray. This property could be a lot nicer with a very thorough cleaning, including the pool, furniture , and more supplies like towels, paper towels and toilet paper. The walls also have scuffs everywhere. Would I stay here again? No.

A wonderful week!

This was a great place to stay in a great neighborhood! We parked our boat at the property’s private dock just feet from the Backdoor and on the fish within 100 yards from the house! The house was very clean and comfortable and the check in Process was probably the easiest I’ve encountered. We will definitely be back next year to stay another week! I absolutely recommend this property for a small or large family plenty of room and beds. Thanks for a great vacation!
