5 Mi to Beach: Family-Friendly Home in Clearwater!

Reviews

• Exceptional Hospitality

  5/5

  The home was clean and smelled great upon checkin! My daughter loved the front yard which has been converted to a sandy play area. There is a playroom with a gametable which my daughter enjoyed as well. The homeowner was such a delight! She is a massage therapist and you receive a free massage! If your a small family with children check this place out! Very budget friendly! We will be returning!

  The host was friendly but he rental was pretty disappointing. There has been a botched remodel done and it looks terrible, usually I could care less but with kids, I was less than thrilled.. As a renter I was confused. The "3rd" bedroom/playroom smelled so badly of urine that we kept the door closed our whole trip. The floor/thresholds were damaged and umsafe for children. The host even brought rugs to cover these up after we arrived. The lights flickered periodically and definitely made us wonder if the electricity was okay. There were little holes all over the place in the drywall and the place just felt overall cluttered. The yard was messy and cluttered as well. The sand in the yard was dirty. The carpet overall was pretty gross as well. It says child friendly, but safety wise it really should not be listed as such until there is some changes.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Angela, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We poured a lot of heart into creating a cozy, storybook-style space, but your experience has encouraged us to bring in professional help to improve both the quality and safety of the home.
  - The carpet in the playroom was recently installed, and we haven’t received any prior complaints, still, we’ve scheduled a deep clean and an additional visit from our carpet cleaning company to address the odor you mentioned.
  - The flooring in that room was impacted by a recent hurricane, and while we made temporary repairs ourselves, we know it wasn’t perfect and are planning more permanent updates. We provided rugs to help make the space safer, but we regret if that solution didn’t meet your needs.
  - The flickering lights are tied to regional power fluctuations from strong A/C usage, and although our utility provider has confirmed everything is safe, we’re exploring options to help guests feel more comfortable.
  Thanks for letting us know about your stay!
