Short drive to the heart of Tarpon Springs for dining, shopping, dolphin/sunset cruise. Host was very responsive to all our questions prior to our stay and we had no issues to worry about during our stay. ##### Shelley M.

The county parks are great especially John Chestnut Park ##### Donald M. Stayed 29 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy K. 18 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Just what we needed Overall , excellent for our needs. There are a few small things that could use updating or cleaning. The washing machine and dishwasher could use a more through cleaning .The fridge specifically needs to be repaired. It leaked a few times but was still functional . The owner was very responsive to our questions and requests. For example the old coffeemaker was terribly stained and he brought over a new keruig kpod coffeemaker. We needed to use the garage to store our bikes and golf clubs, and although it isn’t mentioned in the listing. Neal allowed us to use half of the garage for that purpose. The pool was wonderful and used every day! If the mattresses were updated and perhaps switch to a king size bed in master bedroom , I would have given it a five star rating. A four BR /3 bath with pool is hard to beat though for a family of 6. Thanks Neal for a wonderful place in the Tarpon Springs area! ##### Cathy K.

After reviewing a few different homes in the Holiday area, we decided on this one. It was a very easy process all the way around. The host (owner) met us at the property and showed us around a bit, showing us how to use the TVs, pool, etc. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Aaron R.

Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim F. 19 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Spring Break Rental The house was perfect for a family vacation. The layout is great and the pool was a lot of fun. The location was great as it was close to Tarpon Springs. Neal was very accomodating and a pleasure to work with. My only recommendations would be to replace the bed in the primary - it's very uncomfortable and noisy, and invest in lounge chairs for the pool. The chairs were OK, but most people like to lie in the sun and relax. Overall it was a great experience. ##### Kim F.

Personally showed us the house and then helped with some maintenance issues immediately. The pool was nice and big and the house itself is in good shape. I am sensative to road sounds and it is near a busy corner but other than this the house is a gem! The house is very close to the sponge docks and tarpon springs. Not far from Fred Howard park and close to 19. ##### Dustin M.
