Tampa Ruskin Family Drive-In Hotels

"Very nice and comfortable. Huge room. Easy to get extra pillows. Staff was welcoming and said hello often. Will definitely stay there again."

"The room was suppose to be cleaned every other day...did not happen! I cleaned up every day! Maids did not speak English. Staff was just okay. The morning I left the older white lady at the front desk said that I should have called down to get my room cleaned. Breakfast was the same thing every day! The hours sucked, 6a to 9:30a. Only one elevator working for most of my stay! Ridiculous!"

"I did not use the pool. The AC worked OK. But my wife is on a walker and at 3 o’clock in the morning she had to go to the bathroom so I helped her we heard a heavy dripping coming from the bathroom area. And when opening the door water was coming out of the event above the toilet. The floor was soaked of water, which I had to clean up with all the towels. And while we had to go to the bathroom, we had to put a towel over our heads so the dripping wouldn’t get on us. also, the hot and cold faucet to the sink was stripped so in the beginning, all we got was hot water. But fussing with it for a while finally got lukewarm water in the morning. The water was still coming out of the vent above the toilet we were were not able to shower and still had to use towels to cover our heads to go to the bathroom. We notified the the staff in the morning about the problem, and my thought was that they would be generous enough to refund our stay, but they didn’t seem too concerned at all. The manager just looked at it and said OK we’ll take care of it so we packed our stuff and left early . As I was leaving, I went to the front desk and told them we were checking out and the manager hand me one of his cards and said I hope you decide to stay here on your next trip. Thank you for coming. I don’t think that’s gonna happen."

"Siblings and Family Reunion 2026–Our stay at this beautiful waterfront property in Apollo Beach Florida was just plain awesome. Our host Einav and owner Ron made our stay everything we had hoped for. My family ages 68 -1 year old thoroughly enjoyed the properties amenities; tvs, WiFi, pool, hot tub, kayaks, dock, pop up beach tent, beach chairs (could use more), patio area, which is separate and secured from pool area, shaded reef area in pool for the little non swimming grandchildren, old peeps to stay cool and also swim up barstools etc. My grandchildren loved the added extra touch of stuffed animals on the bunkbeds and it just started off the visit on the right foot. Ron and Einav were so helpful answering all our questions and also advice on local restaurants, beaches with details we all often forget about when choosing a VRBO. I would highly recommend this property and all other properties offered by this host Einav and owner Ron anytime. The only thing I would have changed about this trip, would be to stay longer."

"We’ll definitely stay again! Everything was just as pictured. Amenities were intentional. Host was very communicative. "

"Clean home and everything was as described. Check in and out were easy. The location was convenient to Sarasota and Tampa. "

"We had a wonderful time at Blue Heron House! The home is super clean and thoughtfully stocked with anything we needed. Communication with the host leading up to our stay was super easy and quick. We saw manatees and even a dolphin right from the dock. We used the fishing gear to catch several species of fish from the dock and went kayaking as well. If we are ever headed back to the Tampa area, this will be our next stay!"

"We had an amazing stay at this property! The house was spacious and in the perfect location not far from the beach. It was ideal for our large group with plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable.There were also fantastic restaurants nearby and Sunset Restaurant was a standout recommendation, we loved it. One of the biggest highlights for us was how accommodating the home was for families. It included several infant friendly amenities like a crib and high chair which made traveling with our 5 month old so much easier.Overall we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again!"

"Was perfect for our need. Ty so much for the coffee "
