We loved staying at this property. The pool was so nice and we had a great time swimming almost every day. The property was in a great location! We would stay here again.
The pool was excellent! The pool deck was large for all to enjoy. The only downside of our stay was the neighbor across the canal that clearly did not want anyone enjoying the outdoors.
The home was very nice. The outdoor area is wonderful! We encountered a small issue with the hot tub, and the host had someone out to check and fix it right away!
First off the owners of the property were super accommodating. They even brought us a delicious fresh avocado from their tree.
The home was beautiful. The pool and outdoor space was incredible! We spent most of our week in the pool. Sadly we did not see any dolphins 😞
The available kayaks were a nice touch! You don’t get that little extra at most places.
This was seriously one of the best Thanksgivings we have had as a family and this home was the perfect place to house us all! From the pool (pay to heat it! Its worth it!), to the beautiful canal with dolphins and sealife almost everytime we sat out there, it was incredible. 5 stars!
We have stayed at many VRBO rental houses but this owner went above and beyond to make us happy. We had the privilege of staying at three of this owners rental homes during our stay at Apollo Beach. Each home was a beautiful propery, in a great location, and included a fantastic owner experience. The owner never stopped doing what they could to help us make the best of our time in Apollo Beach. When we come back to this area, we will stay in this owners properties. Thanks for all you did for us.
Beautiful views and amazing people- dolphins and manatees visited!!!
Stayed here for a month and it was beautiful. The outdoor area was wonderful. Outdoor Furniture further from the slider is in really poor shape and not really usable, so we only used the one table just at the slider. Needed some more attention to cleaning the pool deck and doing something with the kids stuff for the pool as it was just in a dirty heap at the foot of the stairs outside Overall our month long stay was wonderful and I would recommend this home highly. The people in the neighborhood were amazing. Felt like home

Apollo Beach
The check in process was super easy. Pool was nice, nice big open kitchen/living room. Our complaints were we found multiple roaches in the house and garage(after 4 days of being there). It was easy to see that the sheets on multiple beds were NOT wash prior to our arrival. We had multiple house guest get bit from something in the beds the first night there. When I tried to contact the host, I was never able to get ahold of anyone. Yes we did complete our trip cause we had NO where else to go. But we washed bedding and sprayed the roach killer they had in the house. The area was super quiet but it’s obvious the neighbors do NOT want guest in the neighborhood.

Quiet neighborhood, great pool
This home has a fantastic salt water pool and pool area. Perfect for spending the day in the water with the family. The host was very good at communicating and prompt. The neighborhood was very quiet. The neighbors, unfortunately, did not tolerate any noise day or night. So if the kids were outside in the pool during the day, they made it very clear they did not like the noise of kids playing (mainly the guy across the canal). He was actually quite rude, mimicking our kids! This was a huge downfall of our stay. The cleanliness of the bathroom was not that great..there was black mold in the bathtub. We would recommend bringing your own pillows because the ones that were provided were very hard and
We came here with some close friends for a week of vacation. There are pros and cons to this property.
Pros: Plenty of beds for a large group
Close to shopping
Within an hour drive of some really nice beaches. We visited Siesta Key and it was awesome. The water was beautiful.
Within 30-40 minutes of Busch Gardens and downtown Tampa.
The pool was awesome
Communication with the property owner was nice when we couldn’t get the hot tub to work.
They are very responsive to questions.
Cons:
The house wasn’t very clean with crumbs that were found in one of the beds, dirty bathroom mats.
Not enough towels for large groups and we ended up buying towels for our stay.
Not enough toilet paper, paper towels available for a week and we had to purchase more. We also ran out of garbage bags.
The furniture seemed dingy- would recommend something other than fabric so it could be wiped down.
The pool needs to be cleaned. There were things floating in it and sand and debris at the bottom as well as kids toys. The pool guy came once while we were there but it really needs a good filter to clear all the debris floating in it.
Please be aware of the bugs outdoors. We had numerous bites that have been terrible. Definitely recommend bug spray.
This property could be a lot nicer with a very thorough cleaning, including the pool, furniture , and more supplies like towels, paper towels and toilet paper. The walls also have scuffs everywhere.
Would I stay here again? No.

We try to take a family vacation every summer, and we typically plan our trips around the home where we'll be staying. Before booking, we carefully read reviews, explore the surrounding area online, and evaluate the home's amenities. Cleanliness is always our top priority, followed by a safe location and a fully equipped kitchen.Unfortunately, when we arrived, the house had not been cleaned after the previous guests checked out. To their credit, management responded promptly, and housekeeping arrived within 15 minutes of my call. However, it took more than three hours to clean the home, which made it difficult for our group—including children, pets, and adults—to get settled after an 11-hour drive while also trying to stay out of the housekeeper's way. The housekeeper was very kind and genuinely worked hard to improve the situation. We appreciated her efforts and willingness to help make our stay more comfortable.While the immediate cleaning issue was addressed, the property is in need of a much deeper cleaning and general updating. Several mattresses had stains and should be replaced, and much of the kitchenware either needs to be thoroughly sanitized or replaced altogether.The highlight of our stay was definitely the pool. We spent as much time outside as possible and thoroughly enjoyed that aspect of the property.
Siblings and Family Reunion 2026–Our stay at this beautiful waterfront property in Apollo Beach Florida was just plain awesome. Our host Einav and owner Ron made our stay everything we had hoped for. My family ages 68 -1 year old thoroughly enjoyed the properties amenities; tvs, WiFi, pool, hot tub, kayaks, dock, pop up beach tent, beach chairs (could use more), patio area, which is separate and secured from pool area, shaded reef area in pool for the little non swimming grandchildren, old peeps to stay cool and also swim up barstools etc. My grandchildren loved the added extra touch of stuffed animals on the bunkbeds and it just started off the visit on the right foot. Ron and Einav were so helpful answering all our questions and also advice on local restaurants, beaches with details we all often forget about when choosing a VRBO. I would highly recommend this property and all other properties offered by this host Einav and owner Ron anytime. The only thing I would have changed about this trip, would be to stay longer.
Fantastic week in a little paradise, fabulous outdoor area to relax, swim and enjoy the sun. Communication with owners was absolutely the best... looking forward to coming back
Traveled with grandkids aged 4-10 and they spent every possible minute in the pool. Booked this property based 100% on the pool and it did not disappoint.
We really enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and the pool was exactly what we were looking for! We even saw a couple of dolphins!
Both Circles and Finn's restaurants were close and provide a good atmosphere for dinner.
If we are ever back in the area, we would stay here again.
