We had a great time at Sunshine house! We brought our daughter and a friend, early teens, who loved the pool and the pool table. Everything was well thought out, clean, and practical. Pool area really nice. We had good access to activities - Tarpon Springs, Clearwater and Busch Gardens. We will stay longer next time!

Let me start with the negatives. First, Waters Ave (the nearest major road) can be difficult to get across depending on time of day. Second, this home is under renovation. With that said, the renovations appear to be 95+% done (missing things like a toilet paper roll holder in master bath), and regardless of status, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. This home's 95% is an average homes 150%, in a (few) word(s), this place is gorgeous, peaceful, and quite frankly possibly in the top 5 best homes I have ever been in, and second best VRBO rental I have ever had (beaten only by a waterfront "mansion" in Hawaii). The hosts were pleasant, helpful and easy to contact. The home was well stocked, and if it wasn't for a spate of "bad" Tampa weather, my kids would have camped in the pool. Any true faults with this place would be nitpicking at best, and this vacation home receives my highest award, "I would be willing to buy it." Not only do I heartily recommend staying at Rupert's Escape, but if I found myself in need, I would not hesitate to stay here again.
