The camera certainly doesn't lie! Everything inside is brand new and immaculately kept. The people who own this villa really have thought of everything. It is so well equipped and very clean. You really get the 'Home from Home' feeling. I like the fact that if you had a problem, the owners only live about 18 miles away, and they encouraged you to phone no matter how small or large the issue was. I'm happy to say that we didn't need to contact them! Everything was really close to the accommodation too. I am looking forward to rebooking next year as the whole of the family enjoyed our stay. We have never stayed in such a lovely and comfortable villa. We all had such a good time on the bikes that are provided for use especially the tandem bike which provided many hours of laughter! Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi B. 7 Oct 2017 #### Even Better than Expected!! We were forced to find a place to stay between selling our house and buying a house which required a temporary rental for 3 months. After submitting my inquiry, I heard back immediately and they were happy to accommodate our needs. The pictures were very nice but never having seen the house, we weren't quite sure what to expect. My family was very pleasantly surprised and happy that I had found such a nice place for us to live during the transition. The house was very clean and extremely well equipped and furnished. No matter what we looked for in the kitchen, it was there. The appliances were newer and worked extremely well. They had beautiful bikes in the garage that allowed us to ride to one of the two beaches nearby regularly. The owners were very quick to respond if we had any questions and they take pride in this home. We have stayed at other VRBO's in the past but this house ranks on the top of our list. If you are considering it, you can book it without hesitation! Thanks Dennis and Ali! ##### Heidi B.

Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### susan l. 9 Jun 2017 #### A little bit of heaven We had such a lovely time staying in such a perfect holiday home, you wake up every morning to brilliant sunshine. Breakfast in the garden each morning, the house has all you ever need to make your stay a relaxing time. No need to go out if you wish to just stay in and chill. But if you do you are right there in the middle of things just a sort walk to the beaches. And if you feel the child in you there are bicycles there for you to use even a tandem if you want your other half to do all the work. We will be coming back again for sure came home very relaxed shame we had to leave. We would recommend this beautiful home in a heartbeat but not to much as we want dates left for us to come again A big thank you Ali & Dennis for the chance to have a fantastic time away. ##### susan l. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denis B. 3 May 2017 #### Tranquil Sunsets My wife and I stayed at the villa between mid February through to the end of April We went to see the place before we rented it and had high expectations judging from the outside. We were certainly not disappointed. It was clean with a very well equipped kitchen and laundry facilities, with a TV in all the rooms, easy to operate aircon, in fact everything we could wish for. The area is very quiet and peaceful, a great location for Sunset and Howard Park beaches, we actually walked to both but if you prefer you could cycle on the bicycles provided. The Pinellas Trail is not too far away withTarpon Sponge Docks and Wall Springs Park a very pleasant ride. Dennis & Ali were very friendly and accommodating and seemed to be on top of things. All in all we had a most enjoyable stay ##### Denis B. Stayed 74 nights in Feb 2017 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 22 Oct 2016 #### Relaxation guaranteed! Beautiful home and fully equipped with everything you need to make your relaxing vacation perfect! The location of this property is superb for walks or bike rides to Sunset beach. Tarpon Springs Greek community brings an abundance or authentic Greek food which is a must do, along with fresh seafood restaurants and waterside dining, perfect after a day at the beach. Very friendly area with lots of local things to do. We are looking forward to our next visit already!! Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy T. 19 Apr 2016 #### Tropical retreat We found this tropical retreat to be a very clean, spacious, fully furnished home. This home has a beautiful, large back yard. We enjoyed the short walk to Sunset Beach in the evening. We experienced local favorite venues such as: Gandi's homemade like pies, Ozona Blue's restaurant and the organic coffee shop on Pinellas Avenue with shaded outside seating. Our hosts showed a strong desire to please their guests. ##### Kathy T. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynda F. 7 Jan 2016 #### Excellent !

I would highly recommended this home to anyone. You won't be disappointed! ##### voula z. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela S. 30 May 2015 #### Tropical Retreat My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our three week vacation by Dennis and Ali's retreat getaway. Prior to arriving, there was communication back and forth which made for smooth and easy transition. The home looked better than the photos and it was very clean. You get a true feeling of home upon entering. Although there were only two of us, the home can accommodate six comfortably. Everything you would need was at the home from kitchenware to bedding to outdoor living. The home is conveniently located to both Sunset Beach and Howard State Park, only a few blocks away. Also, there are many dining options found in the area. Some of our favorites are Spirous, Ozona Blue, Ozona Pig and of course the Dining located at the Greek Sponge Docks located about 5 miles away. The proprietors, Dennis and Ali, are very helpful, kind, accomodating, and fun individuals.We look forward to renting from them again. ##### Angela S. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn L. 12 Apr 2015 #### Group of paddling ladies We are a group of ladies that head to Tarpon Springs every year for a training camp prior to our paddling season commencing. We were very pleased with this home as it was quite spacious and was well equipped with everything we needed. We loved the kitchen and the open concept layout with the kitchen / living room. Highly recommend this home and we will be sharing the information with other team mates who will be travelling to this location.We enjoyed the use of the bicycles to cycle down to Sunset Beach to watch some amazing sunsets. The owners were very accomodating to our group with an earlier check in & a later check due to our paddling schedule. ##### Lynn L.
