Apollo Beach home with private beach! Dolphin and manatee lovers dream!

You know it’s been a great vacation when you don’t want it to end. What a wonderful, relaxing home! The house was remarkably clean and very well appointed. The beds and furnishings were very comfortable. We greatly enjoyed eating dinner on the lanai in the evening overlooking the dock. We made excellent use of the kayaks and canoe, bikes, beach towels, and fishing rods. It was so relaxing to see the Florida wildlife on full display. With a little patience on the dock, not only would we see many sea birds and fish, but also dolphins and manatees would occasionally pass by. The property is close to a Publix grocery store and also the Apollo Beach Nature Preserve, which was gorgeous. We brought ingredients to make homemade Christmas cookies, and not only were there pans, but there were also silicone baking sheets. Any kitchen item you could conceivably need was there. The owners were incredibly courteous, remaining in contact with us during our stay and providing advice regarding local produce. We spent an afternoon picking local citrus fruits at the nearby Dooley Groves orchard. We had a fantastic vacation at this home and would love to come back again someday.

We were blessed to find this gem of home for easy access to Moffitt Cancer center and an abundance of gorgeous beaches to ride out the cold and snow of the north.The hosts were generous with the use of their beautiful, clean and cozy home. We watched sunrises almost every morning in the quiet of the screened porch and enjoyed tranquil afternoons sitting on the pier waiting for the occasional dolphin or manatee to swim by.We highly recommend this welcoming home by the sea.

Patti and mark are both awesome. They welcomed me and had great communication throughout. Went above and beyond. Great fishing at the house and close by. View is incredible!Great food and good golf within 45 minutes. Quite, and laid back. I loved the backyard! Thank you for sharing your home

We LOVED this house and owner! Not only was this place spotless, appeared new, smelled fresh, and fully equipped, but also very easy to get to and gorgeous. There wasn’t anything that wasn’t “just perfect” and the owner even came over while we were gone and took care of a tiny issue. The back porch is truly to die for and we spent most of early mornings out there drinking coffee and watching the dolphins as well as our late evenings. We loved Circles and Apollo Beach Diner where we ate twice at both. Finns and Vineyards were delicious too. This was just the perfect spot for enjoying several spring training baseball games. Thank you so much for offering your house and being such wonderful hosts.
