My fiancee, Melissa, and myself booked this home in Palm Harbor for 10 nights after quite a search process. We were in the area to be married on Clearwater Beach during our visit to to the area.
Communication with the property owner was simple and we received very quick responses during the inquiry and booking process.
This home was certainly the cleanest home the we have ever rented through VRBO.
The location is in a cul de sac in a very quiet neighborhood. The home itself is amazingly quiet. Any time that we did spend at the home was so relaxing and enjoyable....we loved it.
The pool and and hot tub were enjoyed on a daily basis and felt wonderful....morning and night.
Furniture and beds were great as well.
There really isn't anything that would could find an issue with or complain about. We were all very satisfied.
Our vacation, from start to finish, was flawless. Having an enjoyable place to stay for those 10 days certainly added to pleasures experienced on our vacation.

Our favorite thing about this rental was the back yard which is an oasis. Its way bigger than it looks in the photos and all of the furniture, hot tub and firepit were great. The pool looks great but it was too cold during our stay to use it. Inside was super clean and they had everything you would possibly need. Also, the mattresses were very nice. Would definitely recommend.

6 longtime friends and ex-coworkers. The home and property were beautiful, well equipped, and very clean. Looks just like the pictures. We had a great visit and I highly recommend this rental. This group of friends has been traveling for about 30 years, and this was one of the top two or three places we ever stayed. Be sure and visit downtown Dunedin. FIVE STARS.

Everything about this house is perfect. The house is the cleanest and most well appointed vacation rental we have had the pleasure to stay in. The owners have truly thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. It was truly a home away from home.

This house was perfect. Lets start with the nice wine and snack basket they had for me. The back yard was sooo beautiful. Nice size inground pool, infinity jacuzzi,
Firer pit and multiple sitting lounge areas. The beds where very comfortable I had no back pain. The stores were very close so made it so convenient to go shopping. The best part was the host. What ever question we had he always answerd right away. I will definitely be back love this place. 5 stars!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. The home had everything we needed to be comfortable. It was clean, well-stocked, and the backyard is heavenly. The pool was great especially for the kids who enjoyed every moment of it. The hot tub didn't get as hot as we'd like for it to, but it was still relaxing and enjoyable. The home is close enough to everything. I will definitely stay here again if I ever visit the area in the future.

This has got to be the best property I have ever rented with VRBO! It's a gorgeous, well-maintained, well-equipped property that leaves little to be desired. The host went WELL ABOVE all my expectations! I MUST travel to Tampa again just to stay here. BOOK THIS PROPERTY PEOPLE! You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful backyard oasis! Loved our stay. Super clean. Owner very responsive. Would definitely return.

The house was beautiful! Exactly as pictured in the listing. Spacious and beautifully furnished. Minutes from food and grocery stores. Not far from the beach. Anything that you need is probably already at the house. While we brought everything with us, they had containers full of pool and beach items that are there for guests to borrow. Large yard. Nice outdoor seating and fire pit area.
Side note, we had just come from 5 days at Disney and Universal Studios and my teenage son left the Harry Potter memorabilia (that was quite expensive) in the house. Michael was quick to respond when I relayed this information and promptly mailed the package to us in Ky. I had a very happy boy. We are so thankful! If we are in the area, we will stay again!

The house is beautifully appointed, everything you could possibly need. The property is just lovely; trees, lawn, pool, cabana….all immaculate. We visited Honey Moon SP & Calidisi SP which was just a short ride away. We would consider using this property again in the future.

Came into town with some family to celebrate my sisters 50th birthday! House was absolutely perfect for us. Plenty of space. Quiet neighborhood. Beautiful yard. Got great use out of the pool. Had cooler and chairs for the beach. Couldn’t have been easier for us.

This property was the best way to end our week trip to Florida. After starting the week hitting theme parks in Orlando, this property provided everything we needed to relax and recharge before heading home. It’s incredibly clean, the backyard was gorgeous and private, the home is kid friendly with a shallow end to the pool and play equipment and the house was well stocked with items to help us hit the ground running when we arrived. We will most definitely check here first if we find ourselves vacationing in this area again. Thank you!

This property was in tip top shape- clean and well appointed. The backyard space with the pool and hot tub was beautiful and private. All accoutrements were available in the outside area and inside too. I have been to many vrbo homes. Most were good, but this one stands out

The property is located close to several restaurants, pharmacy and not far from Tamps downtown or clearwater beach. The check in process was smooth. Michael was very quick is his responses. The home itself was beautiful. We requested to heat up the pool, and it was warm. The Infinity Jacuzzi was amazing as well. Also has a great back yard where my son and I played soccer.
Inside the home, the rooms where very nice, bathrooms where clean, kitchen was fully equipped and it was very open.
I watched the World Cup Finals in that home and my team won which will be an ever lasting memory.
Overall, I would recommend this home for anyone visiting this area..
