We travelled to Palm Harbor to spend Thanksgiving with my husband’s father and bother. There were five of us staying at the house and with adding 2 more, the house was perfect for cooking and gathering. The kitchen was well-equipped and the dining space looking over the water was so pleasant.
Good choice!

The house is great, large enough for 4 people. The outdoor space is screened in and comfortable. The location, 10 min. from Tarpon Springs sponge docks is perfect. Nice quiet street and neighbourhood. Easy to get to and close to the main streets, beaches, shopping, etc. Host is great and responsive.

We really enjoyed the house and location. The bay just outside the channel is beautiful and loaded with life! The gulf is just beyond! There is a lot of shallow water on low tide, but Allison was great about sending maps and helping us navigate since it was our first time in the area. We have a 21’ key west which requires 11” draft - so we had no issues but we were cautious, too. House is cozy and back porch was my favorite. Screened in and an really quiet neighborhood!!

House is in a cul-de-sac street in a quiet neighborhood. Super clean, fast internet, 110v plugs everywhere and even USB ports. Everything worked as expected. Be brought our bay boat and Allison, was gracious enough and offer to help with the logistics of boat ramp launching the boat, trailer parking etc. there is a sea wall behind the house with a canal that has direct access to the ICW without any bridges. Be advised it can get very shallow. If you are bringing a boat do your homework, check tides etc. Allison provided some satellite pictures with best route to take incoming from the icw to the house. We LOVED the house, location and facilities. A plus.

Our two month stay was extremely comfortable. And our host responded quickly to our questions regarding operation of the television- cable management and electric stove. This kitchen is the best equiped kitchen we have experienced in our ten years of vacation rentals. We look forward to returning.

We are locals that needed a short term rental while our new home was being completed. From first contact, Allison was easy to work with and understanding of our particular situation. The house is well kept and supplied with anything you would need to feel right at home. The neighborhood felt safe as we walked almost every day to the gulf to watch the sunset. You won't be disappointed with the home or it's gracious host, Allison!

My family and I chose to stay in this home for Labor Day because it was a canal front home, and we are avid boaters.
PROS: The home was nicely decorated, clean, and cozy. It was also very close to Tarpon Springs, which was one of the main places we wanted to experience. Allison was very responsive and went out of her way to accommodate our needs. She is an excellent host. I do want to point out, Allison even gave us extra time in and out due to not pointing some of my con items below.
CONS: Even though Allison was an excellent host, I must point out one area where she dropped the ball majorly and therefore, I cannot give a 5-star review. I believe it is the responsibility of the host to give very specific description of the property and area to help those staying avoid any potential dangers, especially when it comes to boating. The canal in the back is EXTREMELY shallow. In low tide this canal is less than 2 feet deep. This was a big concern for us, since I have a 32-foot boat with large motors. On our first day of arrival, we hit bottom in a couple spots coming in and in the canal in the back and scratched the keels of the motors. I was not very happy when I got home and realized the damages, my boat is brand new. The entire area on low tide is very treacherous to navigate, especially if you are a new boater and don't have much experience. I do not recommend any novice boaters, or boats with a draft greater than 12 inches. Not because you can’t navigate, but because you risk damaging your boat. I also recommend you use Seminole Boat Ramp (Not close to this home 30 mins away) or Anclote River Park Boat Ramp (14 minutes away, but the current is strong). DO NOT go to Sutherland Bayou Boat Ramp, very shallow and low budget ramp and again, in low tide you risk damaging your boat. My last advice, plan your trip accordingly with the tides, if you do want to bring your boat and risk it, make sure you come in and out on mid to high tide. During my stay, it was between 10am to 4pm. This is also a bummer as you must come back early each day before the sun goes down. I hope this honest review helps and avoids any damages and keeps all future boaters safe.

This was our first time in FL and we cannot wait to come back and stay here again! We had a great vacation and enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. The owners were fabulous and made everything perfect. The house was awesome and the recommended places to visit made it easy for out of town guests. My son enjoyed fishing every evening. The communication with the owners was phenomenal and greatly appreciated. Looking forward to our next trip!

We enjoyed our time here, even with the daily storms. The drive to the beach each day wasn’t too bad once we figured out where we wanted to go and the right time to get there to beat the crowds.
Lots of good food nearby and the location doesn’t feel like a touristy area. Also the owner is an A+ communicator.

This place was amazing! The home is immaculate. There were 2 adults and 3 teenagers staying on the property. We were able to bring a 21ft deck boat as well as 2 jet skis. The seawall was perfect for tying up the boat and the jet skis tied up next to the boat. I was worried about parking the trailers in the driveway, but we made it work. We had a large SUV, truck, and 2 trailers. The jet ski trailer fit in the garage and the boat trailer and 2 vehicles fit perfect in the driveway. The canal is nice and deep all the way out to the gulf. Even in low tide we were still able to navigate out safely. The islands are really close once out in the gulf. Fishing was amazing on the grass flats just out of the canal. We island hopped Three Rooker, Honeymoon, Anclote, and many other small private islands in between. We had a great time and would definitely rent this house again!

Extremely clean and spacious property!
This property is extremely clean! The layout is very open, and the home itself is updated and staged gorgeously! There's a big dining room table for family meals and game nights. There's also a screened in porch with a TV, so you can maximize your time enjoying the beautiful Florida weather. This property also has everything you need if you decide to do your cooking in house instead of restaurants for every meal. The property manager is just a simple text away, and she responds very quickly. Our family of 5 stayed here for a week, and we had an incredible time! We would definitely stay at this property again in the future!!
