We LOVED the Guest House
The Guest House was great! Super cute and exactly like it was described. Rose was amazing too. Unfortunately, we booked the week that Hurricane Milton came so we didn't get to stay the full week. Rose was so nice and her concern for us was so sweet. We will definitely be coming back to spend more time there. Thanks Rose!!

What a great stay!
I stayed 3 nights over Labor Day weekend, and the Guest House was awesome. It was perfect for me since I was a solo traveler, and I cannot wait to stay here again. I didnt use most of the amenities offered, but knowing they were available to me was great. Thank you so much. This was just what was needed to recharge my batteries!

Great space for a couple
The property was very clean. Small and cozy. Exactly what we were looking for. Had everything you needed (linen, towels, coffee pot, dishes, pots and pans, etc). Having coffee on the patio overlooking the canal was awesome. We will be back.

Perfect for a Mom getaway
I helped move my son to Florida and took advantage of the remainder of the week by having some down time for myself. The owners did an incredible job of maximizing this cute little cottage without it feeling too cramped or cluttered. The pictures were as advertised. Everything you could think of was available for use. I loved that the pool was two steps away from my door and I made great use out of it. Rose was a perfect host. She was very helpful but never intrusive. Thank you so much for my wonderful stay!

Wonderful Cozy Place to Rest Our Minds
We chose this property because it had the best of everything! Our hosts were incredibly gracious, it's a 25 minute drive to Tampa, it was clean, and it had a wonderful heated pool! It's the perfect size for a couple of newlyweds looking to relax on their honeymoon. Rose was very sweet and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved being able to enjoy some sand/heat but walk in and relax in the A/C right after. They have 5 stars for a reason!

The apartment was small but comfortable. We had a great view of the canal and the pool was just outside the room. The hosts (Charlie and Rose) were wonderful! My wife left a pair of pants behind and they called immediately to let us know. We'll definitely stay with them again if we're able.

Quick weekend visit
Needed a small place for my wife and I to sleep. The Bungalow was perfect for what we needed. Inside was very clean and had everything you need. Rose and Charlie were great hosts and fun to sit around and talk with. Outside was fantastic as well. They both do a great job and would recommend it.

Apollo Beach
This property was fantastic. It was like staying at our own resort. We loved the pool and outdoor kitchen/seating area. My husband loved catching fish off the dock. The accommodations were great. It was in a quiet location and was very clean and well kept. We used the indoor kitchen a lot and Rose made sure we had everything we needed. She and Charlie were so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect since it is close to the beach and has easy access to many cities and beaches that we like to visit. We highly recommend staying here.

Amazing Hosts
Rose and Charlie have a beautiful place. The guest house is comfortable and has everything you need. Can’t recommend this vacation spot enough. They were gracious enough to let us bring our 91 yr old father and his lady friend to stay in their home when hurricane Idalia came through. ( they live in trailers). Having never been in a hurricane, they went above and beyond to calm our fears, and keep us safe. The bay and beach area, beautiful. We were lucky to see dolphins swimming in the bay! So cool. They are truly great people, we love them. We would love to return and visit them and this beautiful property again. Thank you Rose and Charlie, take care of you! Marti and Julie

Beautiful property
The property is amazing, just beautiful. Rose & Charlie were wonderful and we enjoyed meeting them. We used the pool everyday, sometimes more than once a day. The bed was very comfortable. There is a hot plate to cook inside or you can use the beautiful outdoor grill/kitchen. The patio area has lights and fans, and an outdoor frig. Rose saw we had clean linens anytime we needed them, along with pool towels. The bathroom had shampoo, cond, and soap. Such a nice touch when traveling by air. The area was quiet and peaceful. They have a gem of a property. Thank you so much Rose & Charlie...hopefully we will see you again!

Paradise in Paradise
My girlfriend and myself stayed for a long weekend with Rose and Charlie and had the most incredible rental experience we have ever had. Rose was an immediate delight, welcoming us to the property and showing us around all the amenities. Charlie was kid and great to chat with, he’s kind and generous with a boat load of incredible stories (Charlie will also split your sides with laughter, fair warning….). The space was cute, well kept, and made with lots of attention and care. The backyard area was absolutely beautiful, with perks out the wazoo. A private beach, dolphins in the morning, and incredible hosts ready to assist in any way they can. Rose and Charlie are both phenomenal hosts with loads of spunk and character to help make your trip a memorable one. Apollo beach is a beautiful area with great scenery, kind folks and plenty to do. We absolutely loved our trip to the property and will 100000% be making a trip back next year, and the next, and the next, and the next….
