Nice relaxing getaway home
My family and I enjoyed this nice home. The pictures on the rental home's website do not show how much room this house has. It is very spacious and open. All the rooms have sliding glass doors to private patios and plenty of nature. The house is totally fenced with privacy fences so even though you have neighbors, you don't know you do. The rental company has stocked the house with everything you need, just bring your clothes, meds, and toothbrush. The downtown shopping, museums, dining, book stores, groceries, local attractions, and nightlife are just down the street. Some of America's top beaches and beach attractions are about 20 minutes away on a scenic drive. Busch Gardens and Adventure Islands waterpark are another 20 minutes away in Tampa on another beautiful route where you drive over the bay. There are also several aquariums and Lowry Zoo within 20 minutes or less as well. We wanted to feel like we were at home on this vacation and not part of the hussle and bussel and this was perfect for that. We enjoyed seeing all the antiques in the house, and enjoyed the nice book collection. I think my husband and sons loved the outdoor shower most of all while I enjoyed the jacuzzi tub. We've stayed in vacation villas before in Orlando several times and loved it but after staying here, renting a private home is the way to go. After visiting St. Petersburg, and its mix of sophisticated, relaxed, bohemian, artisan, key west beach community feel, we'd loved to live here. Btw, BJ is great to work with. She is very friendly and helpful whenever I needed anything.
