Fit for a Captain!

We had a lovely three night stay at the Captain’s Quarters. The house is exactly as pictured. It is immaculate. Beautifully decorated. A kitchen full of cookware that we honestly didn’t touch. There was so much good food nearby we weren’t tempted to cook. Plenty of towels. Comfortable beds. Really everything you could ask for, including very gracious, responsive hosts. Thank you Lisa and John, for a very pleasant stay.

Amazing House in perfect location

This was our first time renting a vrbo as we recently sold our own second home in the florida keys and did vacation rentals for 10 years down there. Being previous vacation rental owners, we were amazed at and appreciated greatly the level of detail and thought that went into making this rental perfect for the guests. In addition, the house was immaculate and amazingly renovated. Everything needed was there and the location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere, including the sponge docks, downtown / pinellas ave, etc. The front porch was great for enjoying morning coffee or a cocktail in the evening. Everything was so well done, we could have learned a thing or 2 from Lisa and John when we were renting our house! Highly recommend and would definitely return! Thanks Lisa and John!
