I brought my Mom to a music festival in the area. She is very picky about cleanliness and, well….everything lol! She absolutely loved staying in this house! It was perfect for our needs! The host made communication easy and the check-in process couldn’t be easier for two older ladies. We will definitely stay here again if we get back down that way!

The house was quiet, super clean and comfortable. It has everything needed for a relaxing stay. The back yard needs a little work because there is no actual grass but all in all the house is amazing. I would definitely stay again.

Updated 3-2 home in Ruskin FL. Plenty of amenities. Not too bad to get to from Interstate 75. Quite a bit of construction going on in the area. All of the home functions worked well and we had no problems. We would stay there again if we are in that area.

We were looking for a place to stay close to family in the area. This home was a wonderful choice. The property was very clean, Arianne was extremely responsive and easy to deal with, she quickly addressed all questions/concerns we had prior to our stay. Overall it was a great choice for our visit, and we hope to stay there again next year!

My family had a wonderful time at this property for two weeks. Our host was very thoughtful in trying to meet our needs for our stay by leaving games for our kids, and even leaving food and toys for our cat! Owner is quick and responsive as well. The home itself is beautiful as well and very comfortably set up for everyone. Highly recommended.

The house is nicely furnished and very clean and well-kept. It was also bug-free, which is really hard to accomplish in Florida. The kitchen was well-equipped and had most of the gadgets anyone would likely want to use. The owner responded quickly to all of our inquiries. Overall we had a pleasant stay in Ruskin.

This house is beautifully decorated and caters to its visitors. There is a game room in the garage if you has children and the fruit basket that was wIting when we arrived late in the evening was a pleasant surprise along with drinks in the refrigerator. I would recommend it 100%

This home was everything we could have hoped for! It is beautiful inside and everything was very clean! It has everything that was in the description. The owners left a number of "extras" such as snacks, fresh fruit, soda and water, as well as travel sized bathroom necessities (shampoo, lotion, soap). The owners were quick to respond when we contacted them. We would definitely stay at this home again!

Pros: The house was clean and bug free. The flooring is modern and durable and the primary bathroom is nicely updated. Screen porch and fenced yard were helpful with our two little dogs. We had a glitch with the wifi and the host responded quickly and got it working. Convenient location to publix and some nice restaurants in Apollo Beach.Cons: The neighborhood was a bit messy and seemed to have a lot of rentals which was not unexpected. If you are looking for a newer home that allows short term rentals I think that is typical and there are not a lot of options.There are even fewer choices with a fenced back yard that allow small dogs. The only complaint would be that the back yard is all weeds and a lot of dirt. Fortunately it didn't rain during our visit, but having a towel handy to clean your dogs feet when they come in is a good idea.

We very impressed on the clean of the house, the fully kitchen appliances and the provided of bathroom towels. Thank you Arrianna for the welcome fruit’s basket. Only suggestion that please don’t plug in the electric flower, we’re allergic to those.

There is a dog next door that likes to bark for about 4-5 hours starting around 2am. And doesn’t stop!

This is a pleasant and modern home in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The modern design is very chic, and the furnishings, kitchen, arcade games, etc were excellent. Arrianna was an excellent host/manager, and every call brought a quick and effective response. When we checked out, I left a valuable item behind, and Arrianna found it for us and shipped it home to us. The TVs were all Roku only, and we missed some of our customary cable channels. There was a small charcoal grill, and it worked well.
