Everything was wonderful and peaceful. Just absolutely perfect the kids and wife completely loved this place and still do. Gary was excellent in communication solving any problem or question we had.
We were in town for an 80th Birthday & Easter and our college kids were as happy as if they were 10 again. They fished, canoed, we spent most evenings on the deck. There was a carnival at Showman's which they walked too several times.
Nice large deck with boat lift. We saw a dolphin chasing a fish. This place was clean and had everything we needed. The host was nice and made know. That he lived on the street and let him know if we need anything.
The place is beautiful, quiet, safe and spotless. Gary (the host) could not be more accommodating. He made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Kory did a great job making sure the grounds were kept neat as well as providing whatever we needed to make us more comfortable, including lots of information about tourist attractions and places to eat. He went above and beyond for us during our entire stay. We did lots of walking around the neighborhood and everyone was friendly and we felt very safe being there. The place is very close to Tampa where we enjoyed a lot of sightseeing. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We were there for almost 3 months and we were so sad to leave. I would highly recommend this home to everyone.
This house is in a very quiet neighborhood. We would have loved to fish off the dock, but Red Tide was high in the area. We took our boat and was able to leave it near the fence in front. The location is a short drive to downtown Tampa.
We loved the property! It is quiet and serene! The house has been updated and it was a great stay! We enjoyed being able to have our boat at the dock and the local amenities.
