Long overdue on writing this review. We stayed here end of June into July this past summer (2022). House was impeccably clean, and provided every amenity we could have asked for. The house itself was incredible, and very well laid out for our family (Myself, my wife, and 2 kids). The pool was beautiful and spotless, being cleaned halfway through our stay. The location of the property left us very well situated to explore and do everything we wanted to, from Madeira Beach, John’s Pass, Tampa Zoo, Busch Gardens, Clearwater Area, and Sand Key beach and park. We had every intention of booking this rental again for this coming summer, but unfortunately that’s where we have run into the only drawback I can think of regarding this property.
When attempting to book for 2023, we found the total cost for the exact same week to be grossly higher than last year. I understand a lot has changed with the world lately, but doubling the cost in the 7 or 8 months since we booked for this past year is unreasonable. As much as we loved this property, and would have loved to make this our yearly destination, the sheer principle of doubling the cost will have us looking elsewhere for the future.
And to make matters worse, this is now the 3rd attempt at posting this review because they have been blocking it until I filtered information or censored certain, very relevant information, to their liking. Makes me no longer trust their review system as a reliable guidance when booking a rental.
