This little house was perfect for my families needs. It is well stocked and very conveniently located in town, close enough to anything you need to venture out for and yet the property is perfectly nestled away in a quaint little old Florida neighborhood. Check in was without incident and conversation was effortless with our host. The children loved having that great big yard to play in while we prepared dinner.

Sufficient Rental

Check in was difficult because the property gate code did not work. Our flight was delayed due to Florida storms nearly four hours, so we were late arriving. The host did not answer the phone. It took nine hours to make a two hour flight to Florida and then the code didnt work. Very frustrating. The description leaf me to believe the house was on the lake. It is not. It is at the front of the community, not near the lake. The house was fine, floors are very soft in areas. The keurig didnt work either, we were planning to use it.

A must stay!

At first I was looking to stay in Tarpon Springs area. Then came across this listing. I was sold with private beach at the lake note. When we arrived my husband's first reaction was anger at me. This anger lasted about 5 min. By the time we were leaving he was looking at listings to buy propery there. Inside was amazing - like beach feeling. Beds very comfy, kitchen all you need! Cherry on the top old style hunting game where my 4 year old wanted to keep playing and my husband and i had tournament as well. Property beyond amazing. Lake and beach - like in dreams! Mother in law stayed inside of the lake for 6 hours. Residents around very friendly. This is a must property if you plan to go to Tampa area. We went just for weekend. Saturday we spend at the lake, sunday beach. Beaches, tampa all close by. Host very nice and responsive! Kayaks available (had fun kayaking through 3 lakes). I promise you will not be disappointed. My husband who rather get a stroke than apologize and admit to being wrong did both! We all loved every single minute of our stay! Thank you
