Home qas great, clean and fresh when we arrived. Check in was easy and the kitchen was well set with dishes and what was needed for cooking. Loved the sliders allowing open air feel ans the large outdoor space. Had a great time!!
Everything was great. Our only issue had nothing to do with the home, we were stuck in the Atlanta airport for 30 hours and didn’t get to stay at the home on our first night. The house itself was very nice and relaxing!
This is our 5 visit to the property. It was a beautiful as ever. Very quiet location. The pool is warm and inviting. The owners take great careof the property.
Our stay was very nice and relaxing. We enjoyed the pool. The air conditioner temperature was always comfortable. We walked around the neighborhood and also went to Ollie’s Pond.
Wonderful quiet neighborhood with a well appointed home
Love the house! Love the neighborhood! Great walking location with wide sidewalks. House has everything you might need.

Nice place
We enjoyed our stay, the private pool, and the convenience of the available high chair and pack-n-play. Location is pretty remote - need to drive everywhere. Could have used more detailed directions on TV usage, location of restaurants and beaches, etc.
Came down for holiday get away as the house was perfect for our needs. Weather was chill at night which impacted the pool temperature but we were able to use it a couple days which was perfect for us.
It was easy to find The owner was very communicative It was a nice home with many amenities foe the pool and neighborhood Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds
We enjoyed the canal view and beautiful sunrises! The hosts were easily accessible and prompt.
There are several state parks nearby if you love nature as well as bird sanctuaries and beaches. No lack of things to enjoy. We hope to come again.
Perfect house, perfect location, ideal for relaxation. Markets are near, nice beach is also close. You can enjoy your time at the pool if you don't want to drive to the beach. Comunication with Linda is excellent!
House was nice, and in a good location to Gasparilla area.
Pool was clean and enjoyable. House was cool, and the beds slept well. We had everything we needed for our stay. I would stay in the home again.
This was our 2nd stay here. The home is very nice and is in a nice neighborhood, located near beaches and golf courses. Property management and homeowner very responsive. We spent a lot of time out in the lanai and in the pool.
We enjoyed celebrating my husband’s birthday at this nice home. The listing accurately describes the property, we had no problems or issues. The weather was nice enough that we were able to enjoy the pool every day. We will likely book this location again if it’s available on our next trip to FL.
Had a wonderful time at this property! Absolutely beautiful house. Huge! Great lanai. Really nice view of the canal but also very private. Garage was stuffed full of things to use. Coolers, shell sifters, bikes, etc. Already planning next trip but will bring more people to fill the house. Owners were great to work with!! All thumbs up for us on this property!!
