Nice Home - Great Experience

Review Submitted: November 25, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
The day before our trip to Florida my 20-month old daughter came down with the H1N1 flu. She was absolutely miserable and her doc wanted us to start the meds right away and it was apparent that we would NOT be starting our vacation the next day. Stephen and Annica were extremely understanding and they told us to "get better and come when you can!". Once my daughter was over the flu they worked with us to arrange a new vacation date, all at no additional cost. I only wish the airlines were as accomodating :)

The house is very easy to get to and is exactly as depicted in the online pictures. I'm a neat freak and the house was very clean. I loved that there was a full washer and dryer at the house. The living room and kitchen are all open so it's easy to visit with family while making dinner. My daughter enjoyed all of the toys, especially the big red car (I think we may need to buy her one now).

My husband enjoyed fishing off the dock. We caught a crab but decided to let him go. We also saw dolphins playing, a surprise I wasn't expecting.

We went in November so the weather was a bit cooler. We heated up the pool every day and it was very enjoyable. This is an excellent house, I highly recommend it.

Super Spring Break!

Review Submitted: July 18, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We enjoyed a delightful stay with another familiy at this wonderful vacation home during spring break. There was ample room for everyone to have their own space in addition to the roominess enjoyed when we all gathered together.

The pool and hot tub were fabulous - and the crab fishing off the dock was an unexpected highlight! We caught, cooked and ate five crabs!!! The kids and dads fished every day and we were close enough to take in a spring training baseball game as well as play at nearby beaches. In the evenings, we played lots of ping pong in addition to the backyard fun. While we had not expected bordering a street with some traffic, this did not negatively affect our stay.

The owners of this home clearly take pride in their property. We were pleasantly surprised by its cleanliness and the amenities provided, including the well stocked kitchen. The lovely photos provided accurately reflect the great layout and superior quality of this home and its furnishings. Stephen met us upon our arrival and provided lots of information to ensure our vacation went smoothly and was memorable!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this home for your next vacation ?

Great vacation home and very accommodating owners!

Review Submitted: May 5, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
The first thing that made us aware that this rental property is different from most rentals is that the owners really care about your experience that you have in their home. The were very keen to make sure that we had everything we needed and if there was anything they didn't have, which in our case that was we needed a wireless internet connection, they went out of their way to make sure that they had one up and running by the time we got there. Couldn't thank them enough for that!

The owners commitment to their renters was only enforced when we arrived at the house, which was clean top to bottom and it was obvious that they took a lot of pride and care in their home. Having rented a lot of properties in Florida over the years, it was nice to come to a house that felt more like a home that your average rental property.

During the winter we decided that we wanted to look at buying our own house in Tarpon Springs and renting this property during the baseball Spring Training season allowed us the opportunity to experience life in the area for a good period of time.

We could not recommend this rental home enough! Great house, well stocked with all the amenities you could need and owners that take great pride in their home and making sure the guests have the best stay possible.

Owner's Response: Trevor & Craig:

We sincerely appreciated the opportunity to meet you and have you as guests at our vacation home in Tarpon Springs Florida. You were truly delightful guests and are always welcome at our home. We sincerely appreciate you treating our home with such care and respect and are particularly thankful that you took the time to post a review of our home.

It was very gratifying to hear that you were pleased with our home and had a memorable stay.

Finally, you have the honorary distinction of being the guests that travelled the farthest to reach our home (Shanghai China). According to Google Maps it's over 11,000 miles.

I know you are interested in purchasing a property in the area so if we can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to contact us.

We hope our paths will cross again.

Great Vacation Home for Families

Review Submitted: April 19, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
We had two families including 4 adults and 3 kids under 3 for a week vacation at the property. Can't say enough good things about the home, its setup and the first class treatment by stephen and annica. The house has everything you need for a family and is conveniently located to beaches, restaurants, and other amenities in the area. Great experience.

Wonderful family reunion

Review Submitted: April 16, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
My brother's family and our family met up for a reunion week vacation. (5 adults, including an 85 year old, and 3 kids - 12, 5 & 3). The house was great. Annica and Stephen were wonderful hosts. We appreciated their warmth, interest in accommodating our requests and straight-forwardness.

The house was well maintained, very much as advertised. We particularly liked the ability to walk to the Sponge Docks and other restaurants nearby (all within a 15-20 min walk). Spent a couple of days on the beach too. And good bike/running trail close by.

The pool was perfect, as was the hot tub. And we saw dolphins off the dock twice -- the kids were in awe. OK, we were in awe too.

Worth being aware of the road beside the house just so you are not surprised. We did not find it a big deal as the pool, etc is well blocked and private. My brother who had the master bedroom said there was some minor noise, again not a big deal.

The village area/sponge docks is cute (and expectedly touristy). We enjoyed the Greek food and influences. The Sponge Dock area has no night life which was fine with us. Although my brother and I ventured out at 10pm one night and found the Sawgrass Tiki Bar -- the owner/bartender is a great character.

Currents restaurant was quite nice -- more fine dining -- made for a tasty adult dinner.

Would we recommend to a friend? Yes, we would without hesitation. It is a great home, owned by good folks. We had highly a memorable time.

Thanks Annica and Stephen.
