Waterfront Pool House w Heated Pool

The house was open and spacious. We were a party of 8 and never felt like we were on top of each other. Everything was very clean. The pool, outdoor space and the pool room were enjoyed greatly. I would definitely rent this space again when in the area. There were only two things that could use some improvement. The descriptor indicated the dock was part of our rental and then I was notified that the dock was rented to another party during our stay. We never saw anyone using it though, so did not present an issue. And secondly, communication with the host was answered very promptly but not so accurately. The host did not seem as familiar with this property and it's amenities as she could have been. Neither presented a big problem however. Great visit to the sunshine state and the lovely pool house. Thank you.

Joanne, thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad the home worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the pool, outdoor area, and overall space. It’s always great to hear when guests have a comfortable and fun stay. We also appreciate your feedback. After reviewing our notes, the only inquiry we received during your stay was regarding the pool/spa, which we responded to. It’s unclear where the impression came from that we weren’t familiar with the property’s amenities, but we’re always open to hearing more so we can continue to improve the experience for future guests. As for the dock, it is occasionally rented out, and we include a note about that in the pre-arrival information purely as a precaution—there’s typically very minimal activity, even when it is in use. We’re glad to hear it didn’t affect your stay. Thanks again for choosing our home.

This short term rental location was great. Our group included a senior citizen couple, a couple in their forties and their 18 year old son. We vacationed in the Tampa area to attend MLB Spring Training games. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would stay at this location in the future. We did have a couple concerns during our stay. The first concern involved the pool / spa. Upon our arrival the pool and spa were not running and needed cleaning. Also, the remote which activates the spa was not working, however the batteries were fine. We contacted the property manager and they were responsive. The pool was cleaned two days later, however we could not use the spa during our stay. Pros: Great location in quiet neighborhood,very clean, outside living enclosed in lanai, grill and blackstone(need cleaning), well stocked with utensils, supermarket and other stores 5 minute drive. Cons: Non-functioning spa remote, limited restaurants in immediate area, lanai door always slightly open(pool)

Nous avons un très bon séjour ! Et Très bon service ! Nous avons eu la chance à notre dernière journée de voir un dauphin au bord du quai :)

Coming from a snowy Northeast Winter, we especially enjoyed the heated pool/spa and private dock. We enjoyed an in-shore charter fishing trip with Poseidon Charters (15 min away in Ruskin), which was great fun - but that was not enough fishing for our kids. Using rods packed from home and (live shrimp purchased from the nearby Apollo bait shop), they caught a variety of Ladyfish, Hard-headed Catfish, Stingray, Spotted Trout, and some other species. We also made a couple day-trips across the bay to St Petersburg for a Mural E-Bike Tour (bayebikesdotcom) & Sharkey's night-time kayak tour (glassbottomtoursdotcom), both about a 50min scenic drive. Near the house, we enjoyed lunches at Apollo Bistro (an inexpensive, nearly-hidden restaurant) and Circles restaurant (a larger operation, with a larger menu). We couldn't help but notice many neighboring homes have 'NO Airbnb/NO short-term rent' lawn signs posted, but we're not surprised the locals want to keep this paradise all to themselves.

Great house, perfect for our needs! Pool and hot tub are awesome and there was more than enough space for the 6 of us.

We had a great stay!! Loved that we were able to control the pool and spa heat. The home had everything we needed and was close to tons of great restaurants.
