Perfect home in a perfect location! Our family had the best stay! We were visited by dolphins at our boat dock, manatees, and loads of fish and cranes. Such an experience right in the backyard of this home. Super close to downtown and the sponge dock area. We will be back!!!

Spring Break Getaway

We spent a week in this beautiful home on the Kreamer Bayou. Plenty of space for everyone with all the amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with every appliance and dish you would want as well as a great selection of spices. We enjoyed fishing off the docks, kayaking, biking and exploring all over Tarpon Springs. The hosts are wonderful and were very responsive when we reached out to them. Definitely a relaxing fun time was had by all.

Our favorite vacation rental ever! The property is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet very convenient to the downtown area and lots of good shopping and restaurants. The house itself is beautifully decorated and furnished and is immaculately clean. The kitchen is updated and equipped with a great variety of pots, pans, dishes, flatware, everything you might need to prepare and enjoy an in-home meal. The hosts also provided a terrific supply of spices and condiments. There is plenty of space both indoors and outside to provide for plenty of relaxation. We particularly enjoyed evenings on the dock, watching the birds, the fish and an occasional dolphin. Communication with the hosts was very smooth. We had a great week, and hope we can visit again!

Beautiful Home, Wonderful Location

We couldn’t have asked for a better home to stay in for our trip to Tarpon Springs. The owners were so nice and easy to work with. The home was decorated beautifully and was very clean. Being right on the water and the close proximity to downtown Tarpon was so convenient. There were many amenities including kayaks, lots of outdoor seating, and even a fire table! The kitchen is well-stocked and you could absolutely prepare a nice meal with what is provided. We rented a boat in Tarpon and my husband and dad went to pick up the boat and drove it back to the house to pickup my mom, daughter and myself. The pier/boathouse was one of our favorite features! We would 100% stay here again and are planning a return visit for the future! Highly recommended!

Beautiful home, incredible sunsets!

One of our favorites! The home was beautiful, updated and impeccably clean. The owner was easy to communicate with and answered all of your questions and gave us great suggestions on places to go. The purpose of our trip was to go fishing and did not disappoint. We caught approximately 40 different types of ocean fish from the dock and surrounding fishing piers. We visited the sponge docks and met many locals. It was a trip filled with good memories and such a quiet peaceful area. The home was beautifully furnished, total update and well stocked. The beds were so comfortable and bedding soft and new. The yard was beautiful and filled with growing fruit trees. Anything we needed was less than a 10 minute drive to the store. The town was quaint and filled with small restaurants and unique gift shops. Truly amazing.

Cant imagine how it could get better!!

My girlfriend and I chose this home for a week of boating and fishing with some friends. Of course the dock/easy access to the gulf is what sold us on this property. Then we walked in the front door for the first time. Our jaws were on the floor. The new renovations done were shocking. The kitchen is so dang impressive! Fully stocked with numerous pots/pans equivalent to an average restaurant. There wasn't one time during our 7 day stay that we didn't find a pan or utensil we needed. And we cooked every meal at home. The seasonings stocked in the kitchen are the same way. Never seen anything like the level of attention to detail in a rental home in my life. Joey was so accommodating and made us feel like life long friends. We were talking about booking again for next year before we even checked out. Thank again so much for everything!!

FANTASTIC

Such a great home to enjoy Tarpon Springs. Close to everything but on a secluded street on the water. The sunsets behind the house every night are a great way to end the day. Herons will join you in the evening looking for a snack and provide great photo opportunities. The house was incredibly clean - probably the cleanest rental we have ever had. It was spotless and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is so well-stocked - you can tell it is a cook's kitchen. So many times at rentals the kitchens have cheap utensils and pans and are missing essentials -- NOT the case here. Everything you could possibly need is there: quality cookware and utensils, nice silverware, spices, oil, quality appliances. It was great to cook our catch and local seafood in such a pleasant atmosphere. We enjoyed the backyard and dock and patio furniture and doing a little fishing in the evenings. Beds are comfortable and we slept great. There are two bedrooms with nice en suite baths perfect for family getaways or couples' trips. Hosts were great to deal with. Professional and quick to respond and very laid back. Felt welcomed into the home before we ever arrived. Will be back for sure.
