Upon our arrival they personally checked us in. They spent time visiting and answering our questions. They also reviewed the proper operation of the pontoon boat. We had 4 wonderful days of boating. The property is beautiful inside and out. It is immaculate and tastefully decorated in a beach theme. Everything you need is provided. The saltwater pool is beautiful and very relaxing. The neighborhood quiet and the neighbors are friendly. This VRBO home is one of the nicest we have ever stayed at and I highly recommend it! ##### Cindi Y.

Pool was very nice and well maintained. Dock and boat are in great shape. Canal is much wider than it appears in the photos, we were surprised by it's size. Very nice quiet spot to relax. Takes between 20 and 30 minutes to get to the sand bar from the house. Home is well appointed, fishing gear, beach gear, etc. The area outside the home is lacking, if you want something to do outside the boat and sandbar, you will need to drive down to Tarpon springs for shops and things to do. No complaints from us, Brenda was communicative and responded to any questions we had. Great host. ##### Do C.

Can't say enough positive things. We've rented in many VRBO properties. This was one of the best equipped and clean properties. The amenities were great...a heated outdoor salt water pool, docks on the canal, kayaks, and a very nice, easy to use pontoon. We went to Anclote, the boys went out fishing. It was a great, relaxing place. The owners were super responsive. I'm a property manager myself, so our first boat trip out, I noticed they had slightly raised boards going down the stanted dock, which made perfect sense, however they were the same shade as the deck, and blended in. I pointed this out to my hubby, who has mobility issues, so he would be careful. I casually mentioned it to Kim, and within 48 hours, he was there replacing them with bright white boards, which made them much easier to see. I was amazed on how quickly he jumped on this. They are very nice folks...property is great. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Brenda & Kim. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toni E. 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Had a fabulous time in this gorgeous house. We couldnt believe how quickly and beautifully the house was repaired and renovated after last years storms. All the restaurant's we love in the area were open and as good as ever. The boat and trips to the island/sandbar really make this a special place. Saw lots of wildlife - Dolphins, turtles, manatees and raccoons. Owners were responsive but nit intrusive. We will be back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/919b57d8-e998-4ae3-ad4f-7cf2899612e9-1753139263973.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d67d1a2-6064-462d-8158-ac3b8029c9ce-1753139267394.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Toni E.

It was perfect for our family of six plus our parents tagging along. The house is very well stocked with everything you need. The access to the boat was our favorite part. We fished and scalloped and boated to the sand bar every day. Coming off of the sand bar and having the evening to spend in the pool was so nice. They had everything we needed for the beach and the pool. The location was convenient to town. It was very clean and comfortable. We even had a manatee come visit us one evening in the canal. One of our best Florida vacations. Brenda was also very easy to contact for questions. She even sent us updated pictures of the property after they remodeled. ##### Brian M.
