The pool was the highlight of the stay. The screened in lanai and pool made for a very relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.

Jim was an excellent host. He was responsive to questions and provided answers immediately. House was great. The pool was the best part...swimming in a heated pool in December was great for New Yorkers! Location was great! Would definitely stay here again next year.

6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
Apollo Beach area very nice. Everything you need is readily available.House is comfortable and reasonably clean inside. Couches and Master bedroom bed both very comfortable. All appliances worked well.The pool and pool area were fantastic. 86-88 degrees everyday as advertised which we loved.Apollo Beach is also very central to other larger cities such as Ruskin,Tampa,Saint Petes etc which was convenient. Upon arrival the outside of this property is very run down.The house was obviously pink originally but has had a poor green paint job on the front and back but the sides of the house are still at least partially pink.There is no walkway to the front door. You walk on weeds and dirt to enter the house.The front door screen is all ripped and coming apart.There is no grass on this property to speak of, just weeds and dirt.The owner has a large amount of personal "stuff" piled up on either side of the house which is just unsightly.The VRBO listing states there is a Hot tub and workout equipment. There is neither. The house A/C did not work for the first 5 days of our stay. The owner Jim, was very responsive but it took him a couple days to get it working.Lots of minor maintenance issues inside the house.Burnt out light bulbs,kitchen tap falling apart,trim missing etc (place just needs some TLC).Neighbourhood is "Sketchy". I won't elaborate. Summary, would we return to the Apollo beach area, yes.Would we return to this house and neighbourhood, no.
