The Florida Retro home is the most charming home! We had all we needed and more! The host is THE best Iâve ever experienced. She is responsive and very accommodating. I give this a 10 of 10 and highly recommended it to anyone coming to Clearwater.
WOW! First of all.. WHAT A COOL PROPERTY! Your Florida Retro House was beautiful and was exactly as advertised. From start to finish the host was kind and easy to communicate with. The home was so clean and each room felt like walking through a nostalgic museum! The decor was simply unmatched, every room had its own theme and made you feel like you were traveling through time. The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were so spacious which is a rare find! The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors kind. There were multiple options for entertainment, our favorite part was the ART. We had to bribe our youngest to come in after dusk. Overall, we had a wonderful time with family while attending a wedding in the area. I've already recommended this rental property to others and personally can't wait to return!
Property was veey clean and the the entire house is so fun and takes you back to the past. It was so fun laughing about how things reminded us of our child hood and made the younger ones suprised we could live without all the technology. The host is amazing and went beyond expectations.
If you love surprises, trinkets and being taken back to a time that feels unplugged, book this home. From the moment you walk in you are immersed. There is color and pictures and details all over. So much to see, and it's a house. You walk in and see a chalk wall and get to see nits left from previous stayers. Then you go room to room in awe of the new surprises. A game of eye spy is what it felt like. Alexis, the host, welcomes you with a gift and it's just that extra step, that little detail, that takes her from being the owner to being the hostess with the mostest. I can't explain how welcoming and exciting this home is. My kids said this was their favorite vacation so far, because of the house. So if you don't believe my review, know kids from ages 6-12 loved the home. Book book book.
Absolutely loved the house and the attention to every detail. The host had so many cool options available for young and older kids and mine LOVED the special gifts and snacks. We HIGHLY recommend this host and property!
The home is absolutely magical! Tons of activities. Really cool theme. Centrally located. It has set the bar super high for my expectations for future rentals!
Let me start by saying Alexis is amazing! She made sure the check in process was simple and was super attentive to details about my family and our trip. The house is even cuter than in the pictures! There's truly so much to do that the whole family is entertained throughout the entire stay.We are already planning our next trip at this same vrbo, as we don't believe we'll find the same level of comfort and satisfaction anywhere else. Thank you so much, Alexis!
Creative house the was curated with love and passion. Alexis was a great host. This house has a split floor plan with 2 bedrooms with shared bath on one side and 1 bedroom on other side with access to a 2nd bathroom. This was a great house for Spring Training close to the Phillies practice fields and stadium. The house is centrally located to St Pete, Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, Safety Harbor and Tarpon Springs which allowed us to explore each area for the day. Highly Recommend.
Pros: This was a cute house with a theme that is carried throughout the property. We appreciated the welcome baskets and coffee supplies. The beds were comfy and arriving to music on the jukebox is a lot of fun!
Cons: We arrived just after a tropical storm, which apparently overloaded the septic for the master bathroom. Until the morning we checked out, anytime we flushed the toilet it bubbled over in the shower and caused that side of the house to stink. Itâs possible the owner just needs to have the septic cleared more often, so there isnât an issue when it rains a lot. At any rate, it meant that our family of ten only had one bathroom available for our stay, and anyone with a big family knows that is the opposite of convenient! So, we basically avoided being in the house other than sleeping. Another detail that should probably be addressed is the leftovers in the fridge & freezers. I absolutely appreciate when things like salt & pepper are left behind, but not so much when open bags of freezer food and milk are left behind.
There is so much love and care put into this place. Alexis showed us such kindness even before we checked in. We were in town to scatter my brotherâs ashes, so it was hard to find joy, but we managed to because of our surroundings. I highly recommend staying at this special gem.
I have stayed in a LOT of VRBOs and a lot of hotelsâŠI have NEVER felt so welcomed by a host in my life! The host basket, sâmores basket, extra snacks etc was just the tip of the iceberg. She had shampoo, conditioner, makeup wipes, coffee, enough extra sheets and towels for another whole family. Truly above and beyond! The place was decorated adorably and immaculately clean. I just wish we had more time to enjoy the property as we were there for a volleyball tournament but it will definitely be on my list to possibly stay in in the future! So many fun games, activities, and options at the house⊠I highly recommend this place you will not be disappointed!
