It was an absolutely fantastic place to get together with my family. Some of the most beautiful Blue Crabs I have ever seen caught right off the dock. 5 stars all the way. Only on drawback to anything was the grill but we figured that out too. The holders to the flavor bars have rusted out and are gone so the bars sit on the flame keeping the grill from getting hot, made a small adjustment making the flavor bars slightly caddie corner to keep them above the flame, and boom hot grill and easy cooking!! ##### Brent G.

The property was not only beautiful but relaxing. My husband loved walking to the backyard to throw a line in everyday.,as i relaxed at the incredible pool. It was a perfect home for our family. The hosts were accommodating and gracious people. We will definitely be back. ##### Beth K. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway The property is truly one of a kind, super quiet neighborhood. The lanai is where we spent most of our time while the kids swam. Fishing right off the dock was amazing, not a ton of luck but did hook a nice size mullet. We were greeted by Jackie and Bob upon our arrival and they gave us a quick rundown of the property which was nice. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a secluded family getaway. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tampa-Downtown.h59632755.Hotel-Information) > > [Sailport Waterfront Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Sailport-Waterfront-Suites.h49550.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Airport - Cruise Port](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Airport-Cruise-Port.h4462.Hotel-Information) > > [Epicurean Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Epicurean-Hotel.h6550073.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Haya](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hotel-Haya.h44913687.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Tampa Rocky Point Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Tampa-Rocky-Point-Waterfront.h1366.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Tampa Water Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Tampa-Water-Street.h60094289.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tampa Riverwalk](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hotel-Tampa-Riverwalk.h22354.Hotel-Information) > > [Chase Suite Hotel Rocky Point Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Chase-Suite-Hotel-Tampa.h26742.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Tampa Waterside](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-The-Westin-Tampa-Waterside.h2051.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westshore Grand, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-The-Westshore-Grand.h5781.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa Airport Avion Park Westshore](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Tampa-Airport-Avion-Park-Westshore.h15816033.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Suites Tampa Airport Westshore](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Suites-Tampa-Airport-Westshore.h19330.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Aloft-Tampa-Downtown.h8343315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Alba, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hotel-Alba.h13705.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Flor Tampa Downtown, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hotel-Flor-Tampa-Downtown.h6139615.Hotel-Information) > > [Saddlebrook Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Saddlebrook-Golf-Resort-And-Spa.h8126.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Channel District](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Tampa-Downtown-Channel-District.h32911460.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hilton-Tampa-Downtown.h7497.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Tampa Airport/Westshore](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tampa-AirportWestshore.h14100.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Tampa Downtown Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Tampa-Downtown.h1407138.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Tampa-Downtown.h59632756.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Tampa Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Westin-Tampa-Bay-Hotel.h1557.Hotel-Information) > > [Tampa Marriott Water Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Tampa-Marriott-Water-Street.h425874.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Tampa-Downtown.h116643.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Tampa Westshore - Airport Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Tampa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Tampa-Westshore-Airport-Area.h18350.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information)
