place felt like home the moment we walked in. we didn't want to leave! we even started looking at real estate in the area. owners jan and dave were friendly, accommodating, and just plain awesome. they live next door, give you all the privacy you need, but are just a doorbell away to help out. place is immaculately clean. kitchen is fully loaded, no need to bring cookware, plates, silverware. master bedroom has a queen bed, en suite full master bath, and big walk in closet. 2nd bedroom has two twin beds, and large bureau. tons of extra closet space in the hallway. 2nd full bathroom in the hall. living room seats 8 comfortably. not sure if one of the sofas pulls out into a bed, but it may. nice big sofas to nap on. tv with basic cable in living room and both bedrooms. wi-fi internet access. loved having a washing machine and dryer, especially after those sandy days at the beach. backyard is like it's own little tropical oasis, fenced in for privacy, palm trees and tropical foliage abound. loved the outside shower among the foliage. covered patio area with tables, chairs, and a grill for your use. private lap pool, great for swimming laps, or just cooling off. fantastic location! walking distance to just about everything:: gulf shore beaches, many popular eateries. very safe area. community is beach resort without being overly tacky and commercialized, still many private homes on the main road (gulf blvd). you are surrounded by water on both sides, fine white sandy gulf beaches abound on one side and tampa bay on the other. they let us bring our dog! many grassy lots on the street for our pooch to do her business. very dog-friendly area, check out ella's cafe down the road, you can dine with your pooch on the patio and they even have a doggie menu! the fabulous fort de soto dog beach is just 30 mins away. we had tix to see u.s. mens soccer team at the gold cup at raymond james stadium in tampa, just 40 mins away (where the nfl buccaneers play). can't say enough great things about this place. fabulous location, and privacy. we'll be back.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words! We do try to make Beau's Beach Houses your home away from home. We are so glad that you had such a wonderful trip even with Todd's allergic reaction to shellfish. Please come back and stay with us again in the future. Take care, Jan and Dave
