presidents day weekend.
We were incredibly happy to find this property a couple wks before traveling and that was great. So happy that they also allowed our dog to come. Property is nice and we enjoyed the boat dock. Unfortunately, there was a lot of rain our weekend so we could not use all the amenities. The home was fine but definitely could use a remodel or update on the furnishings. Otherwise, was as advertised. Nor much to do in this area but we did see the manatees which was a big plus.

We really enjoyed staying here! Everything was so nice and felt like home. They really go above and beyond here, you have everything you need for your stay!! The kids loved having the pool and fishing off the dock. The dog loved the dog door and getting to explore the backyard and the dock!! One of the best VRBO we have stayed at and hope to stay again! The host was great!!

Great space wonderful holiday
This is a wonderful house with a perfect layout for entertaining. The linens are wonderful and the kitchen is fully stocked. The canal and beautiful. We did some fishing off the dock (our own poles) and caught several nice sized fish. Daughters enjoyed the kayaks and weights for exercise. Very comfortable and great location. Highly recommend.

Making Great Memories
My grown son and I traveled with friends to stay at the Pirates Den for Labor Day weekend and attend a show at the Tampa amphitheater. What a fabulous weekend! Everyone loved the house which was spacious. Every room had a very cool vibe. The beds were so comfortable and even those of us who are early risers enjoyed sleeping in. The pool was clean and there were plenty of rafts and pool toys to use. The kitchen was well equipped. We stayed home and cooked all of our meals which we enjoyed out on the porch overlooking the pool and the water. Each night we sat on the dock and watched the beautiful sunset. But the biggest hit of the weekend were the kayaks which were in use all day every day. We picked up some fishing poles and bait at a nearby shop and everyone took turns exploring in the kayaks and fishing off the dock. Thanks so much for a fun and very memorable weekend. We hope to have a chance to enjoy the Pirates Den again one day.
