Vacation like Millionaires....for real !!!
Review Submitted: May 1, 2009
Date of Stay: December 2008
When you book your rental on internet, you consciously decide to take a risk. Never been there. Don't know the owners. Don't even know if the house really stands there (always check on GoogleMap....don't you Stephen?). Cannot clearly see the surrounding area on the pictures, and so on. Well, in this case, you realise that Murphy's Law doesn't always apply....
This is by far the best family holidays we have enjoyed in years. From the very first time we talked to Stephen and Annica, until our departure back to Europe last January, our experience has been outstanding.
The owners are great people, they offer 5-star service and high availability and flexibility.
For many of us, the house reaches the same standards or even higher standards than our own home place. Lot of space, lot of light, many rooms, very clean and well maintained, premium equipment, beautiful kitchen, fantastic beds, very flexible heating and cooling system, beautiful pool, easy-to-run spa (keep the bottle of champagne at close end...), hamac, games, toys for kids, sport equipment, BBQ, well everything you need to spend a very, very good time.
And when you want to leave this heaven, the choice of activities is endless. Dinner at Sponge Docks (plenty of great restaurants around), rent a boat to discover the rivers-coast-islands nearby, visit the fantastic aquarium at Tampa, spend a day at Bush Gardens (best attraction park in FL), swim in the sea at Clearwater Beach, cruise with a rental bike, cycle to Howard Park, walk on the beach and reload your "batteries" under blue sky and warm sun, or just sit on your personal pier and watch dolphins or manatees at dusk.
In conclusion, this house and area have so much to offer that you will surely come back many times.
Oh, last thing, we have been 3 times there and we'll be back again at year end......but please do not tell anybody about all of this, or demand will increase and the owners will have to change the decent price they ask today for all of that.
