Undesirable location

The inside space was nice. Maybe could have used a more comfy couch. Decor was nice. I understand why there were no outside area pictures. If I had seen the area, I would not have booked this site. The host was very helpful and checked on us during our stay.

Cute little house within walking distance of the park and water!

We arrived at night so it was a bit confusing because GPS takes you to the front and the apartment is in the back but we figured it out. The apartment is EXACTLY as pictured- modern, cute, clean, and just right for a couple. Had the necessary amenities to cook and live for several days. We weren't sure how close it was to the water but it is about a 4 minute walk to Craig Park where we saw tarpons and manatees! It is also about a 10 minute walk to the cute historic downtown with a coffee shop. Host was very communicative as well.

Perfect weekend in Tarpon Springs!

We came down from Panama City for a weekend away and to catch a Rays game. The home couldn’t have been more perfect for our stay. Perfect location as it was close to all the sights and restaurants. The home itself was comfortable and had EVERYTHING that you would hope for a rental to have. Communication with our hosts was also very helpful. They were immediate in their replies to any questions and very helpful. We will definitely be back!

Lipstick on the pig

No outdoor space. Felt confined in an air conditioned box. Very little storage. Too many kitchy decor items that got in the way of getting access to our own things. TV channels limited so missed our Leafs vs Tampa in NHL playoffs. The lighting was way too bright in living room for evening relaxing. Pictures on VRBO are wide angle and don't represent the actual place.

This is a great place to stay. Our host was so accommodating, and checked on us several times. Our small puppy was welcomed, and it was so convenient not to have to go through a hotel, elevator, lobby etc...to get her out. The area is in transition with very expensive homes to one side, and renovations to the other, but the property is so comfortable and cute that this did not detract from the stay at all. I enjoyed all the fun decorating touches, the extras for the kitchen and beach, and the very comfortable bed! Thanks for a great stay! I want to come back.

The apartment was as described. New, modern and clean. My husband and I stayed for a week and a half. While there really isn't much outside space to enjoy, the apartment was as decribed and clearn. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking of downstown, including Spring Bayou. It is also close to the Pinnellas bike trail. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Getaway Days

The pictures of the VRBO are very accurate. All the furnishing are very retro. The bed was comfortable. There is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and bathroom. The outside entrance was lit so you could see at night. The owner responded in a timely manner when we had questions. It would be good to let guests know ahead of time that there is no cable TV, only Netflex. The couch is beautiful but it would be good if there are a pull out couch. An air mattress with an automatic pump would be better. We did not attempt to use the pump in the room. We would definitely stay again
