Really enjoyed the canal front/backyard area. Good location for all the things we wanted to do, but quieter and more relaxed than staying in Tampa. Overall really enjoyed the stay and very well may return in the future. ##### ROLAND B W.

The rooms were great, the pool was awesome(not heated, fyi) but it was warm enough the kids didn’t mind at all. The hot tub was nice and fishing off the dock was a good time. There were a few poles at the house to use when we stayed, and a couple kayaks as well. We’d stay there again. Thanks! ##### Mitchell S.

The hottub and record player were a nice touch. Would highly recommend this home. Walking distance to breakfast and a dollar store that sells everything. ##### Tena M.

It was everything in the picture. There are 2 bathrooms, I just did not think about the one being in the master bedroom and 1 hall bath. Which was fine, but my teens had to keep coming in our room to shower or use the bathroom when hall bath was being used. The house was spacious with a lot of different seating options. The kids loved the pool and the teens loved the hot tub. ##### Barbara W.

The perfect location. You're just minutes away from shopping and eating places. You have the canal right behind the house. We really enjoyed our stay. We hope to visit again someday. ##### Stephanie B.

Comfortably slept our family of 9. Jacuzzi/Hot-tub was awesome, but weather was a little chilly for the pool. No issues getting in contact with property owner when needed. Awesome home tucked away from the chaos of the larger tourist areas, but close enough to get to beaches. Will be back soon. ##### Drew E.

Great choice to wind down and relax. The view sitting out back is beautiful, by the dock or fire pit. Inside is roomy and the beds made for a wonderful nights rest. We hope to return in August. ##### Denise T. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth M. 18 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, well stocked Home, Supports Military The home was beautiful, very clean, and the location was great! The host Marzena was quick to answer any questions we asked and I've never been in a home I've rented as stocked with everything you need to cook, clean, and extra's (towels, toilet tissue, etc). The bed was so comfortable that we had to see what is was. The pool was nice and the dock was even better. Just know that there is a caretaker living in the back of house and has his own entrance in the side of the house behind a gate. We found that out after reading the rules and the history of the property and saw him a few times in his van and once in the pool area getting a water sample of the pool. Even with that, we had a great time. Thank you for supporting the military and Veterans and providing the discount, you don't see that anymore!!! ##### Kenneth M.
