Quaint and cozy place on the water- good for 1 person or a couple max as it’s fairly small. Did t get a chance to take advantage of the amenities but very nice and ‘Florida-ey’. Highly recommend.

Minimum comfort for reasonable price

Owners very welcoming and supportive. Wish the guest “house” wasn’t just a converted shed. Needed a dehumidifier, fan in bathroom which was open to living area, and seating inside. A sofa bed or Murphy bed would offer comfortable indoor seating. Met our minimum requirements.

My husband and I came down to spend Thanksgiving week with my Mother. We loved our stay at the guest house, and Rose was a very gracious and friendly host. We would stay here again and recommend this to anyone looking for a private getaway.

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.

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.
