Apollo Beach vaca home

The house was nice. It needs some renovating here and there but nothing that needs immediate attention. The office space in the master bedroom has a pretty good leak almost directly above the printer, there is a hole beside the outlet on the other side of the master bedroom. The guest bathrooms bathtub has a couple of chips in it. I ended up sleeping in the princess room and I believe I am 5'10" and I had to sleep in the fetal position or my feet would touch the foot board. There is a cabinet missing over there stove which isn't a issue but the wall could be painted. The garage is not part of the deal so you will not be able to park your car inside. The grass could have been mowed before we arrived. The trees by the pool have grown through the screen and have serval dead leaves that need pruned off. The pool area needs brighter lights. The kids basketball goal is pointless because the goal can't stay up. The recliner is only good for having your legs kicked up but it will wear you out if you try to lay back in it. The leg rest for the couch doesn't work. It would be wise if you stay here to get some sort of mosquito repellent to put in the area on the outside of the front door, otherwise do not leave the door opened after coming in or going out as 5 to 10 mosquitos will always greet you. We enjoyed our stay regardless. Thank you Jim

Mold in the shower, holes in the walls

We entered the property and were shocked that anyone would rent a property with mold in the master shower, holes in the walls, kitchen cabinet missing, filthy floors and a note on the counter apologizing for the leaky roof. We stayed about 15 minutes before we decided we could not sleep here. I called the owner and asked for a refund. He called the property clean and habitable.. but it was not. We are veteran private home renters. We have rented many homes in the USA and Canada over a span of 20+ years. We come to Tampa at least once per year. This is the worst prooerty and owner I have ever encountered. We were traveling ... my husband and I both in our 60's with my husbands parents both in their 80's. I have pictures of this horrible property which I will post if I can so you can take a close up look at the moldy shower. If you enlarge the photo you can see that the owner has tried to cover the mold up, but not successfully. We did not stay at this disgusting property.

Awesome!

Absolutely loved this place! Our family had an awesome vacation. Quiet neighborhood, great pool and hot tub, and treadmill made this house perfect for us. It also has an inversion table. I have one at home, so I had no back issues while we were away. Would definitely go back.

Older home in need of some updating but overall we enjoyed our stay 3.5/5 stars

Location was great. The property is a little "tired" and could use some updating. The TV was confusing to use but otherwise we enjoyed our stay. Pool and hot tub were very nice even though the weather was cool so did not use the pool as much as I had hoped to. Kitchen was great and BBQ was also easy to use. Side office with printer was very nice so we were able to print our boarding passes. Master bath and bedroom was nice but the other 2 bedrooms and bath needed updating. Would consider returning next year just for the office so I could work remote while hubby is out golfing. Those 2 computer screens were very tempting - when I work I use double screens - and it would be easy to set up a remote office. Near great restaurants and grocery store. Easy location to Tampa and baseball parks.

This house has everything you need from linens, dishes. cleaning supplies, pots & pans

We spent 3 weeks at this home in Feb 2019. The pool & hot tub was wonderful. Jim (the owner) was very good & gave the guidance needed for the TV, came in the middle of our stay & put fresh chemicals in the pool. The barbecue was not a good one & when I told him about it, his comment was we will replace it immediately. He was totally unaware. Plenty of room, & off the master bedroom was like an office where we could set up our laptops. The beds were comfortable & we were able to sleep very well. We will enjoy the evenings we spent on the patio enjoying the quiet & stillness. Our animals (dog & cat) were very comfortable & it was a joy to have them with us this trip.

Amazing property and owners!

We stayed here for a few days before closing on our new house in the same neighborhood. After several days of traveling from CO it was great to stay in a very home-like property with everything we needed. When last minute changes to our closing time became an issue for us, the owner was very accomodating and helpful!
