Awesome

we had a wonderful time at the Palm Tree! the house was so well appointed! It has everything you need for your home away from home. the pictures were exactly as depicted. the pool was warm and our kids spent tons of time in it. our son fished for hours off the dock, we saw dolphins daily hunting in the canal. The community was nice and quiet and we had some great sleeps. We chose this house for our family vacation so that we didn't need to go anywhere if we didn't want to, and it did not disappoint! The Palm Tree is the perfect place to take a relaxing vacation. Thank you for hosting us!

Our Advice: Stay Here!

My husband and I stayed here for the entire month of January. Mike and Eva were warm and hospitable. They responded timely to all of our questions and requests, even providing suggestions for things to do and places to eat. The home was clean, bright, comfortable and supplied with most everything we needed. We spent hours on the covered outdoor space overlooking the pool and canal. My husband fished most everyday from the private dock. A mama and baby dolphin visited us near the dock on or last full day there. What a treat!

Great stay with everything you could need. We used the kayaks and paddle boards out on the water. Tried our hand at fishing off the dock. Lots of swimming in the pool. Saw the manatees 5 minutes away. Lots of space for 2 families. Quiet and safe neighborhood. I would recommend this place to

Apollo Beach Oasis

Just returned from a week in Apollo Beach, FL and couldn't have asked for a better home to stay in! Location was good- short drive to grocery stores and lots of places to eat! The house came equipped with everything our family needed to enjoy our time, including a fully stocked kitchen, beach toys & accessories, great patio & pool with games, kayaks and awesome views off the dock to watch the sunset! Michael provided great service, with quick communication and even let us check out late! The beds were comfortable and the large sofa & dining area was perfect for family game night! There was plenty of towels and bedding, with 2 sets of washer & dryers which made laundry a breeze! Everything was perfect! The only SMALL suggestion I would have would be to add a few extra hooks in the bathroom and around the pool to hang wet suits & towels-- because lets face it, with a pool like that, we were in there every day! :) Thank you for letting us use your home to create beautiful memories!

Something for all ages.

We kayaked, had family photos, went to Legoland but other than that, stayed at the house. Cooked every meal except one when son brought home pizza on the way back from Legoland. Enjoyed the house very much. A few issues but Mike was always there to take care of them. A lot had to due with him not having knowledge of them. I would choose this location again and again. Grocery stores are conveniently located too!

A beautiful open concept home, amazing pool, great dock for fishing and outdoor area that you want to live in forever. Amenities were so many… beach toys, beach chairs, wagon and umbrella ready to go. The outside seating with fans and lights really made it so comfortable. My little ones loved everything about this place and we cannot wait to come back:-)

If you love the water

We lived our time here. The property is clean and Michael is the best host we have had. The only thing to note, the fourth bedroom is not accessible from the house. You have to go out onto the pool deck to get to it. This made it so we couldn’t use it with our young children.

Excellent Waterfront Vacation House

My family came to town for a youth sporting event. I am so happy that we found this perfect house to stay in while in town. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The pool and spa were heated and the water was clear and clean - we all enjoyed both everyday! Coffee on the dock in the morning was so nice. We also spent time kayaking. There are two grocery stores near by and many restaurants to choose from . The home owner was friendly and helped us with anything we needed. It was an excellent getaway!
