The location is amazing; the area is beautiful for walking and the pool and dock area are like an oasis. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. We fished every day off the dock and caught all different kinds of fish. We enjoyed just sitting in the pool area and watching the sunset. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area. ##### Kim M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lias M.

We have stayed in quite a few VRBO's, and this is by far THE BEST! First, as they say, location, location, location! This beautiful, emaculate home is on a large canal just a few minutes from the Gulf! We kayaked the canal in the morning and chilled at the pool and dock in the evening. And there was so much to do in the area during the day. The house is the cleanest rental we've ever stayed in. And the owners, Joe and Elesha, are fantastic! They responded so quickly to any issues (which really were questions, not issues) and were so kind! If you're considering another place to stay in this area for your vacation, don't! You WILL NOT REGRET staying here. The house, pool, hot tub, dock, kayaks, create this paradise that is amazing! ##### Dale H. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug R.

A very clean house stocked with everything you can think of and then some. It is in a beautiful area, right off the Gulf, on a deep water canal amidst beautiful homes and boats. Their pool and hot tub are awesome. My wife and I enjoyed coffee by the pool watching the palm trees moving with the constant breeze off the Gulf, and then seeing incredible sunsets at the end of the day. It was great taking our boat out to Anclote Island. Very close to Tarpon Springs and the sponge docks. Enjoying the Greek community there is a must. All of this coming from extremely nice and helpful owners. Had a blast! ##### Doug R. Stayed 14 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly W.

This was our very first VRBO rental and let me just say i couldnt have made a better choice. Elesha makes everything so easy andmakes you feel so welcome. The house is just perfect. We fished off the dock and set crab pots, spent many hours out by the pool floating and watching the sunset in the hot tub. Mornings were so peaceful there with our morning coffee. The house is so well stocked, and the most comfortable beds! We visited nearby Tarpon Springs and did early morning jet skiing at John's Pass. Restaurant recommendations were spot on and tried to fit in as many as we could. Thanks so much, we cannot wait to return. ##### Kelly W. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda A.

The home is very spacious and having our very own private pool and hot tub was the icing on the cake. Spent most of our time poolside. My husband brought his fishing kayak and was able to keep it in the water tied to the dock so he could just jump in every day and go fishing. He caught mangrove snapper and provided a wonderful meal for us. We enjoyed visiting Tarpon Springs which was close by. This home is located near 3 nice beaches - Sunset Beach, Fred Howard beach, and Honeymoon Island. We saw dolphin, stingrays and sea turtle in the canal. Located in a nice and quiet subdivision. Secluded from neighbors with fencing and landscaping. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to go back next year. ##### Linda A. Stayed 11 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry H.

Easy access on arrival as well as an easy departure when leaving. The home is bright and open. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal and then some. The pool was my granddaughters favorite place to be…from the moment she got up to late at night. The dock area was great for fishing and watching all the different types of fish in the canal. We did enjoy using the kayaks provided as well. Our host Elesha was text or call away with knowledge of the area, places to eat and things to see and do. I was impressed at how quickly she responded and with such kindness. The beds were comfy and the bathroom stocked with ample towels, washcloths and hand towels. Towels were provided as well for the pool or to take to the beach. A smoker, grill and indoor Jen air grill are available to use also. My family and I relaxed and made some great memories and will definitely return in the near future ##### Sherry H.

We absolutely loved this place. My husband and I stayed here for 2 1/2 weeks and our 19 year old son and one of his buddies joined us for several days. The location couldn't have been more perfect. It's on a peaceful canal with easy access to the gulf. We rented a boat and went out every day fishing or just cruising around looking at all the beautiful homes. The owners of this rental property are fabulous. They are so kind and offered great recommendations for things to do and places to go. One of our favorites was Hellas Bakery in Tarpon Springs. Their pastries are incredible! The property itself was wonderful. We enjoyed the heated pool and the hot tub. The boys enjoyed the kayaks the owners have available for use. The kitchen is very well stocked. There isn't anything we needed for cooking. The owners thought of everything. The king size beds are very comfortable with comfy linens and blankets. The beach towels and bathroom towels are very nice as well. We hated to leave, but this is definitely a place we would come back to. ##### Todd & Carol S.

Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sharp house We loved every minute of our stay at this gem of a property, this immaculate spacious home exceeded our expectations. The sun was shining everyday of our stay. Our family loved the backyard and spent most of our time there. The pool and hot tub were amazing, just the right temperature. We enjoyed many meals outside with the use of the clean Weber grill. The floating dock was a great space to watch some manatees swim by and watch a sunrise and cast a fishing line or two. We visited some sand bars and islands throughout the days and enjoyed returning to swim in pool. At night the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The house has TVs with premium cable and internet. The bathrooms are nice, one has a soaker tub with jets. Plenty of towels are provided both for the pool and bathrooms. The bedrooms are roomy. The beds are super comfortable a true restful sleep. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare any meal. We ate at local restaurants, recommended by the hosts that never made us a bad meal. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. The hosts, Joe & Elesha were very gracious and accommodating to our family‘s needs. ##### Michael B. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim C. Nov 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tim C Kitchen was well equipped, floors were easy to trip on because they were at different levels, they need to be fixed or have small ramps before someone gets hurt and calls their lawyer. Back door was very difficult to open and close, we had to go out the front door and walk around the house to go out on the boat when we needed to lock the house. There were essentially no lights on the dock which made it difficult when coming in after dark. Pillows need to be replaced. The light over the outside table does not work. The remote control didn’t work, we had to buy batteries. Fix all this stuff and perhaps we’ll rent it again. Sorry I can’t give you a better review. ##### Tim C.

We went there with plans to do many things but only left the house a few times for some dining & shopping. The house had everything. We spent countless hours out by the pool & on the dock with our family and friends! We were so happy to see dolphins & all the beautiful fish & birds that call Gulf Harbors their home too!! The kitchen was equipped with everything you will need, from the utensils to the blender to make those delicious tropical drinks. We enjoyed the bbq they had there & grilled steaks, burgers, hot dogs & sausages! I went there stating I am NOT cooking & then soon discovered why would you want to go anywhere when you could be sitting poolside on the canal enjoying the beautiful sunsets. There are two bedrooms & each has a en suite bathroom, which is a big plus when you are traveling with family & friends. I think our FAVORITE room in the house was the beautiful dining room which opens to the outdoor heated pool and hot tub area that overlooks the canal, which we all totally enjoyed everyday! The large dining table was perfect for our group & the four chair hi top table also provided was wonderful for sitting & having your morning coffee. As far as our Hosts, Eleasha & Joe Sharp they don't come any better & they couldn't do enough for us. We checked in pretty late on our first night there. I had a few questions & sent Elesha a text at 12:30 am & my questions were answered by 6 am the next morning. If we needed anything she was ALWAYS available to help us. The moment I spoke with her about renting their home, I knew she was honest, genuine and someone I could trust. Her recommendations for dining & things to do were spot on. My husband loves to fish & Joe Sharp had that covered for sure! Elesha even sent pictures of some of the "BIG" fish he & his boys had caught. He had recommendations for fishing charters as well (they would even pick you up at their dock!) We are all looking forward to our next stay in their beautiful home. The only downside to this house was that we had to leave!! Thanks for everything Elesha & Joe, we will be back! JoAnn & Carter Biggs Long Island, NY ##### JoAnn B.

We had two couples stay in this home for a little bit of R&R from the northern cold. This house was clean and had all the odds and ends we needed for a week stay. The renters were there every bit of the way if we needed anything. The gave us vacation tips on places to eat drink, shop and beach. My favorite part of the house was the huge sliding glass doors that open to the outdoor space and down to the canal. The heated pool and hot tub were great and aloud us days to stay in and drink and BBQ in the Florida sun. I would recomend the Sharp house and would rent again! ##### shawn g.

Nov 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It’s a really nice house in a great location We had a wonderful time staying at the Sharp’s Florida home. Everything about the house was nice and clean. The heated pool was awesome since we went in November and the weather was cooler. It did take 2 days for the pool to warm up to temp but the hot tub is perfect in less than 30 minutes. If your going during colder weather I would recommend to ask to have the pool heated up prior to your arrival. The sharps were very responsive and always a phone call/text away if we needed anything. They shared their recommendations of places to eat which was very helpful. We were able to take their kayaks out into the bay and we had a great time on the water. We will be renting their house again if it’s available when we want to go back to Florida next year. ##### Nash L. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy W.

What we wanted to do there: Fish, fish, fish. CHECK. The Sharps are very warm, friendly and excellent hosts. Elesha texted to make sure we were able to access the house and to ask if there were any questions or if there was anything we needed. Check in was a breeze. They sent all of the info we needed to get inside, operate the controls on the heated pool and hot tub, they even had a book with all the local attractions, restraints and shopping. By the way, we loved Widow Fletchers! It came highly recommended for lunch, so we gave it a shot. Great view, tasty food and a lot of it. It was great. While we were there, we fished from the floating dock and caught a Spanish mackerel, Black Sea bass, mangrove snapper, baby pompano, a sail catfish and sailor’s choice. It’s November, so a lot of the large fish had already gone out to warmer waters, but there was stil plenty to catch. Rusty Bucket Baithouse is a great bait shop nearby. They have live bait, which is what we used. The weather wasn’t very cooperative, but again, it’s November, so you gotta expect cooler temps. The hot tub was great! All in all, would I recommend staying here?Absolutely! In fact, we’re planning to go back in May next year. ##### Nancy W. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominic W.

The timing worked out perfectly for us. We are huge beach people and once I realized there are no real beaches in the area I was concerned. No need. The whole trip was fantastic. It was on an incredible waterfront series of canals and offered us opportunities to get to do things together we had not expected. We drank coffee, sunned and fished from the dock every day. We cooled off in the swimming pool before hastily returning to the dock adventures. We kayaked and saw manatees. We had tremendous photo opportunities and pelican and blue heron friends keeping us company. We had cocktails in the evening and relaxed in the spa. Everything was there for the making of a wonderful week of decompressing. We only ate out one morning for bre ##### Annabet H. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edd B.
