We had a great time. We take a family vacation every year. Last year in OBX the year before that Myrtle Beach.
After last year in OBX we decided to go to Florida to guarantee we have warm ocean water.
This house was really nice!! The pool was nice and the hot tub hit the spot to help relax. We did a lot of fishing off the pier. We saw manatees, skates, stingrays, collected sand dollars and believe it or not we saw seahorses. I have done a lot of scuba diving in my past and I never saw a seahorse in the wild.
We went to Siesta key, and Anna Maria Island, well worth the drive!! They were two of the best beaches I have ever been to in the United States.
My only disappointment with this place, it was a long drive to a beach. Other then that it was great!!! And good place to eat close by.

loved the place, association has some weird rules, 1000.00 fine if you make noise outside after 10pm no parking on the house side of street just a bunch of weird stuff few NEVER had an issue though so ALL AND ALL a great place
5.0
Great house. We had 8 people staying here for spring break. Everyone had plenty of room. Kitchen was well appointed. We saw dolphins, manatees and string rays on the pier. The house manager Lori was great! She even let us borrow a huge pot to do a low country boil for my son’s 15th birthday. Circles, Finn’s and the Vineyard Italian restaurant are great and right down the street. Thanks for the great spring break!
5.0
Loved the location. Watched manatees swimming past (and under!) the dock. Dolphins, pelicans and an osprey made appearances. Patio with pool and hot tub was great place to hang out. The “fire bar” was fun and relaxing in the evenings. The house was very comfortable and nicely furnished.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! The pool and outside areas are gorgeous and the sunsets cannot be beat. We spent most of our time gathered around the pool making memories. Lori was great and responded promptly to every question we had. I’d definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Apollo Beach!

Beautiful Views.
This property was amazing. The favorite part for the entire family was the sunsets. We were able to see manatee, dolphins, stingray, hammerhead shark, bull shark and much more!!
The only downside: There were lots of bugs: mosquitos and flying ants.

The title says it all. This property was everything we hoped for and more. There were eight of us total; my husband (big fisherman), myself, our three adult sons and their significant others. The house gave us the separation we needed and the family togetherness we wanted. We never wanted to leave! We all slept better than we do at home and lived in that pool. My husband caught some fish and some rays off the dock and even had a couple sharks on the line! The sunsets were amazing and we live on Cape Cod so we see a lot of sunsets. All the little details in the house were what made this vacation so perfect, from the labeled switches and softest pillows ever to the fully stocked kitchen. We never wanted for a thing and when we had a question/request upon arrival, Lori was SO responsive. We made family memories to last a lifetime and got the relaxation we all needed and more. I would recommend this property to anyone and would be happy to answer any questions any potential renters have. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing property with us!!!!

House has potential but lacking upkeep and overall disappointing stay
This is a nice rental home but needs a lot of TLC. Upon arriving, the home was simply not clean. The family took a day or two to clean countertops, dishes, and floors. The refrigerator in the home barely kept items cool which was unfortunate since we rented the home for outdoor grilling. Barstools were literally falling apart and most the bedroom lights didn't work. "A private dock" was advertised with the rental which was not private since it is shared with the neighbor, while the first few nights of our vacation were spent next to extremely noisy neighbors (loud music, screaming outside late at night non-stop). There was supposed to be a noise ordinance in the neighborhood but it was clearly not enforced. Overall, highly disappointed, especially for the price we paid. Two thumbs down..would never return.

Wonderful experience - the house was all that we hoped it would be. The property manager was very efficient, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the infinity pool and summer kitchen all week long- didn’t miss the beach at all!

Fantastic family vacation spent in a beautiful home
My family visited to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. The home was beautiful, and the views were even better in real life than in the pictures. The property manager was very responsive when we had questions. My kids have already asked to go back :-) I would recommend this home 100%!!!

What can I say but WOW !!
We stayed the week of April 10th 2021 and it was Amazing !
The house has everything you need with instructions on how to use and find things. Lori the house manger was very responsive to any concern or question I had before and during our stay, we even had crazy rain one day and she reached out an apologized for rain on our vacation! With the view from the house who cared ? I’m not sure why there are some bad reviews to be honest.. We were a group of 4 adults ages 33 to 54 and love to have a good time, drink and relax , we were able to do all three for sure ! The hot tub was fine and hot ! Yes you have to “start” it, but you plan for that ( about a 1/2 hr to completely heat) and there is no issue, we actually had to turn it off prior to the 2 hr timer because it got too hot. The “quiet” time is no big deal..move inside ? Plus with all that sun were in bed early , lol . A/C and doors open ? Any 5 star resort you visit in the Caribbean you have to leave the doors closed with the a/c on, otherwise it shuts off.. so why would you expect that you can waste energy here ? We always made sure the doors were closed behind us, they are heavy so easy not to shit them all the way if your not paying attention. I was more worried about the rule of don’t set the temp to lower than 72 degrees, coming from NH and all I’m used to the cool weather for sure, but I asked to have the temp locked on 72 at all times because just like my own house the a/c is set on an am/pm timer, and Lori set it no problem ! There are plenty of ceiling fans and stand up fans so I was surprisingly comfortable at all times !! The Kitchen has everything you need and the outdoor kitchen is great but the outdoor ice machine is amazing !!! Beds are comfortable and clean. I know someone complained about the no child gates and only ropes on the dock , well preparing for a trip with a young child is key, I wouldn’t bring my 3 yr old granddaughter because I would want to relax and not be on guard the whole time..but all that stuff is clearly shown in all pics and if your worried about the dock why not the pool too ? I can’t understand some of the comments and I say this just a regular person who likes to vacation. Overall the gated community is quite and out of the way, which we liked for this trip. We went to St Pete’s and Highly recommend Grazzi for dinner ..to die for ! That was the only time we left.. if you travel with girlfriends only

This home is standard track housing with nice finishes so I would typically rate it as 4 stars. However, I deducted a full star as the pool (let’s face it, the main reason anyone would rent the house) is NOT heated. I would not recommend renting the house November through April as Florida pools need to be heated in the winter months. I even offered to pay for the heat and the owner wanted $300 per day ($5,000 for my 16 night stay) stating that propane heat is very expensive. The home directly next door rents for less and is heated as that owner invested in an alternative heating source which is much cheaper. The listing was very misleading as the “no heat” disclosure is not listed at all on the VRBO app which is what I use. It is listed in a small disclosure under the amenities section on the regular VRBO website (non-app) which is easy for most to miss and based on other recent reviews from November, was missed by other renters. Other than the completely unusable pool, the home is very well maintained. The views are beautiful and the wildlife (manatees, string-rays, sharks) that can be seen from the pier are amazing. This is a quiet, residential neighborhood so it’s great for relaxing.

Great sunsets
Great view of the bay. Dolphins and stingrays were seen off the dock almost daily. Due to the rental’s location, drive time to Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg was longer than expected.
5.0
The home was beautiful and very well appointed. The views were breathtaking! We fished right off the dock, swam in the pool (which heated up nicely during the day with the heat from the sun), cooked in the beautiful kitchen and used the outdoor grill, and enjoyed the outdoor fire feature, as well. Sunsets overlooking Tampa Bay were stunning! There was a small problem with the hot tub, but a member in our party was able to troubleshoot it the day after we arrived to get it working. Lori, the property Manager, was very appreciative and brought us over a bottle of bourbon to thank us! The neighborhood is gated and we felt very safe. The overall area is off the beaten path, which we didn't mind, at all. There were a couple great local restaurants and quaint local beaches we visited. The nature preserve is a little gem! Overall, we loved our stay at Villa Del Mar at Apollo Beach and would stay here again!

The place is nicely decorated and the view is gorgeous. That’s about all.When we arrived and hooked up to the internet, I got a caution message that the security is very weak. Two days later, I received a message that I needed to change my passwords as there was a data leak. A big hassle. Also, the signal is really weak — it was easier to use my data. All the trouble started with the spa.We read this in prior reviews, but had hoped they had worked out the kinks. The spa is incredibly difficult to use, and that’s because the owner continually adjusts it or turns it off. They’ll tell you it’s on a 2 hour timer, but that’s a lie. The timer does NOT work — we would have it on for 5 minutes and it would turn off shortly after. We constantly had to text them to adjust the temp or turn it on. It was cool outside the first couple days, so this was the only amenity we could use. Two times when we were in the spa, the water also completely emptied out of it… (some water feature)... Again, frustrating. We constantly felt like we were being micromanaged.As mentioned, the first couple days were cool, so we turned on the heat to keep the house at 72. We have two young children, so wanted to keep them comfortable. The owner kept turning off the heat. We asked management to please stop. The response was “The owner is controlling it and I’m asking her to stop.”Now for the creepy part. We were being watched which made me very uncomfortable. We have two young children, so this gave me anxiety — we had reached out to VRBO about this as we were receiving messages like this:“I turned the heat off in the house since the entry door and the windows are open. Let me know when you’d like me to turn the heat or AC back on”. It made us feel completely uncomfortable. We never touched a window and, we would close the doors after going in and out. I also received a message at 12:43 am one morning that a window and door were open. Again, they were NOT open. And, it was not appropriate to text me at that time in the morning.Lastly, this house is not safe for families and children. The stairs are very dangerous for toddlers. There is tile everywhere, so we had many slips. To access the dock, there is NO gate. The dock doesn’t have a very good railing (just a rope), so you don’t want young children walking out there.Honestly, I don’t think the owner should have a rental — she was so over the top and controlling. I’ve never experienced this before.

It is listed in a small disclosure under the amenities section on the regular VRBO website (non-app) which is easy for most to miss and based on other recent reviews from November, was missed by other renters.
Other than the completely unusable pool, the home is very well maintained. The views are beautiful and the wildlife (manatees, string-rays, sharks) that can be seen from the pier are amazing. This is a quiet, residential neighborhood so it’s great for relaxing.

The house is great for a family, but I would not suggest for a weekend retreat with friends. We had a group of 9 and was looking forward to relaxing and enjoy the sun. The views are incredible, great spot to fish, and we even got to see manatees, sharks, and dolphins. We had a few hiccups during our stay. I will say that the property manager does respond quickly.-It was a pain trying to figure out the hot tub. Our check in was at 4:00pm and the hot tub was freezing cold. We were informed there is a two hour limit and then you have to press the button again to heat it, so the first day and half, we were all on hot tub duty trying to keep it hot, going back and forth with the manager to figure it out since it wasn’t getting hot, later in the night it finally got hot (not sure what we did to make it hot), to then realize it was 9:00pm, we had an hour to enjoy it before quiet hours came into effect at 10:00pm. The next day we found out she can actually control the temperature. This was frustrating because the hot tub was the only thing we could use because of how cold the pool was. It would have been nice if it was ready to use as soon as we walked into the door or the property manager could have informed us that she could control the temperature for us. I will admit throughout the rest of the stay, she was very responsive and made sure the hot tub was on for us when we were home. -They only supply the initial rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. After that, paper products had to be furnished by us. The property manager did help us out and provide some, but just an FYI - they only provide the initial roll. They also didn’t provide any toiletries in the bathrooms, with past rentals, it is usually standard for rentals, especially something like this that is high end.-Due to the temperature, we weren’t able to use the pool and found out that heating it wasn’t an option. Just an FYI!Overall, we had a good time, but the general consensus was, we will not be back again.

Fantastic Views - Good Getaway, but more tailored for families.
