The check in process was easy. House was ok. It needs some updating to the decor and general clean up of the outside areas. The only reason I booked it was because itâs on a canal and we brought our boat with us. It served its purpose for being a base of operations for fishing Tampa bay. If I wasnât fishing all week or bringing a boat Iâd probably book something different. Overall itâs ok but nothing to write home about. The owner and manager are good at responding to requests. The house being pet friendly is a plus.
We travel often, using VRBO--this home was just that a home. Home was clean, beds comfortable and kitchen well stocked. We traveled with our labs and having a fenced yard allowed us to sit and relax while our dogs sniffed around. The neighborhood is family oriented and felt safe. Outside was well appointed and if I had to be picky I would probably replace the outdoor cushions. Lots of aoce for 3 teenager, two dogs and my husband and I to not feel crowded. nighttime was so relaxing with the pool lights on! There are fans in the outdoor area so even in June there is a nice breeze. We can wait to go back and will definitely rent with Einav again!
We arrived at the house, we were so excited because the house is absolutely gorgeous. But then we walked out to the backyard, which is why we rented this beautiful home because of its gorgeous backyard. Unfortunately, it was a disaster still under construction from the hurricane construction workers in the yard five out of the 10. We had to do a lot more day trips because we couldnât is why we went there in the first place. Had to cancel our boat. That we rented because we couldnât access the deck safely. All that being said, the landlord and the property manager were absolutely fantastic at guiding us through this nightmare. They. Have the construction 90% finished by the time we left. And it looks gorgeous. They have definitely taken care of us financially and offered us a discount if we decide to visit this property again
I booked this property in August 2024.Shortly after booking, the site was hit with 2 hurricanes. I checked with the host twice and was assured the property damage would be fixed when we arrived in February. In January, the site said that the property was being offered at 50% off because of ongoing repairs. I contacted the host for third time and was assured that the property would be 100% by the time we arrived. Two days before our arrival, I got a message from the host saying that repairs were not completed, and she offered us a 50% discount for days that workers were there. I had eight people including two grandkids arriving in two days, short notice to try to find another place. We arrived on Saturday and found an industrial size air compressor in the driveway. Hoses led from the compressor to the back yard. A 4' wide by 6' deep trench/hole was by the whole canal. Materials were on both sides. After picking up cords,nails,screws, we enjoyed the pool on Sunday, dock area was not accessible. On Monday, workers started the jack hammer to put in the sea wall. We had to leave for the day. Same on Tuesday. We called the host, she agreed to let us out of the contract and we understood that we would be reimbursed for all 9 days not used. VRBO did not want to refund fees. After many phone calls with the host and agents, a supervisor called with VRBO's final offer which was more than the original offer but not full compensation.We don't feel we were treated fairly and are not happy
Property is just as described. Beautiful home with an amazing kitchen. Perfect for our annual family vacation. Very responsive to questions. You canât go wrong staying at any of their properties!
This property is well kept, spacious and has lots of amenities. The AC works really well - so important with temps in the 90s - and the beds are very comfortable. The shower pressure is great. The outside area is what really takes this home over the top. The pool is well maintained and nice, and there is plenty of seating and an outdoor bar area! Ron is very nice and was very responsive to our requests. He even came by and brought us fresh Florida avocados (which are gigantic!) if you get a chance to take a sunset cruise with Bob down the street (Ron can hook you up!), definitely go! Itâs totally worth the price. Ask him to take you by Beer Can Island to have a sunset cocktail, take gorgeous pics and collect shells!
Check in and check out was very easy. The house was great. Great water front property with nice saltwater pool and hot tub. The kayaks and paddle board were great, the kids really enjoyed them. My wife loved the tropical landscape. 5 stars.
Checked in to the reserved property and found cockroaches and worms all over the floor. The unit had not been cleaned for some time. The owner moved us to another rental property they own and it was clean. After two days we had more roaches and a toad made its way into the property. They offered to send an exterminator, but by that time my wife had enough. We went to a hotel for the remainder of our stay. After protesting this with VRBO, they still made us pay for the entire stay. The owner put forth a bunch of lies and half truths...but we have pictures of how nasty the first location was....and the roach infestation. Will never stay at these properties again. I'm sure that the owner will tell you that we are making too much out to this....but we cannot do cockroaches. If anyone wants to see...I have pictures and documentation.
This was a very relaxing vacation, everyone enjoyed it immensely. The house was very comfortable and everyone enjoyed the pool and dock. Parking was good, seemed to be above average compared to other homes in the area. This was exactly what we were looking for and we will definitely be back!!!
This was a very nice property. However, when we arrived, the air conditioning was not working it was difficult to get a hold of the owner and property manager. This was possibly due to it being Fourth of July week. Once we got a hold of them, they sent someone out to fix it.
Easy check in, nice location and fun pool. Outside of a small hiccup with the pool/hot tub, we had a good time. Saw a manatee and and caught some fish.
Pros - nice home, nice pool and excellent entertaining areas.
Cons - a little far from beaches but if youâre willing to drive 45 minutes, you can easily get to some excellent beaches. Wasnât a big deal for our group.
Beautiful hidden gem that offered the perfect family get away. The house was clean and decorated as a house in a tropical environmentshould be. Amenities as described and communication with property owner was beyond easy. We had the absolute best time and we thank you for that!
Vinny and Family
Beautifully set up. Lots of bedroom space. Great functional kitchen and dining area. Laundry area a plusâŠespecially with a 2 and 4 year old in the group.
Absolutely wonderful pool area and hot tub. Loved all the tropical landscaping. Great host..always available if anything is needed.
Had a great stay in Apollo Beach. Canal access was great and took advantage of the kayaks and calm waters, and was able to see sting rays multiple days from the dock and water. Pool and sundeck were a huge hit with small kids that were hard to get out of the water. Kitchen was well equipped for a large family and we appreciated having enough room for us all to sit around the table.
Great house and owners were great communicators. Can't ask for much more!
Our experience with the host was amazing since day one. The owner called me just about minutes after I made my reservation, and she thanked me for choosing her house. She was very professional, and welcoming. I also had a chance to speak with the host's husband, and he was just as professional. He offered his assistance to make our stay an enjoyable one.
My husband and I brought our 3 children on Spring Break from Iowa. The house was perfect for our group. It was beautiful and quiet. The owners were responsive to our questions and went above and beyond to welcome us to their home. We had the best time.
Super cute house, quite neighborhood. Very Cozy and homey. Great pool and outdoor space!! Awesome Restaurants near by.
EINAV and Ronen are super great and they meet your every need. We will be back, and we highly recommend this home!
