An enjoyable 4 week stay.

The property was exactly what it said and showed on the website. Communications with the owner were excellent with no reply delays. Everything that we could want was provided in Tammy's well kept home. Our only concern was the lack of privacy on the lanai, deck and pool as there was no screening to the property on the left.

A Wonderful Place to Relax

Tammy has thought of everything. The place has all you need for a comfortable stay, including comfortable beds. Tammy was easy to communicate with. The neighborhood was great. It’s very close to the Manatee Viewing Center; which is a must if you are there in the winter. It’s close to several good restaurants including the Sunset Grill, Fins, Circles, The Vineyards (food awesome; service very slow) and Apollo Pizza. Please, make sure you note that neither the Hot Tub nor the Pool is heated. But it does make a great place to sit around and enjoy the weather.

Great location & House

We had a great stay at Tammy's house. Situated in a nice quiet location and the pool area and view from the back is amazing. Neighbours are very friendly and nice walk to a few bar/restaurants. Ideally located as we wanted just outside Tampa and near the beaches and this suited well as about 1hr from both. House was spacious and clean, and has everything you need. Would definitely recommend, if you are thinking of staying here.

We rented this property to use as a base for house hunting. It was perfect. There were several developments around the area with some great homes. After a day of house hunting, the pool was a wonderful retreat. This house is a very comfortable and relaxing place.

What a great place to stay, we had 3 generations together for the week under one roof watching dolphins from the dock, catching fish, kayaking, swimming in the pool, playing board games from the closet. Also lets not forget the neighbors, great welcoming people. We will be back.

Thanksgiving Joy

5 PLUS STARS!!! My family and I (husband and two Adult Children) spent a fabulous time, a full week, at Tammy's House. Great Hostess, Great Communications, (usually less than a hour call back.) She had EVERYTHING. Kitchen had anything you needed to bake,cook, broil, tons of utensils, along with pans, pots, baking dishes etc. to go with it. More than enough Dishes, silverware, just everything!!! Easy access front door, good locks, great lighting!! Close to restaurants, stores, gas stations.WOW!!! House was as pictured in VRBO, beautiful, tastefully decorated, pool super clean, peaceful place to sit out at night and just relax. Plenty of room outside and inside, for when my sister, her husband and my Dad, came to visit. Gorgeous views, quiet, SAFE neighborhood, yet lots of great neighbors. Very Friendly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We will definitely rent from her again!!!
