July 2026

We had an absolutely amazing stay and would recommend this home to anyone! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway. We brought our boat, and the canal access made getting out on the water so easy. It was the perfect place for our Fourth of July staycation, and we spent every day boating and enjoying Apollo Beach. The pool was fantastic and the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water. One of the highlights of our trip was watching fireworks from the boat, then returning to the house and seeing fireworks lighting up the sky in every direction. It was an unforgettable experience! The home was comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. You can tell the owners take great pride in it. We made so many wonderful family memories and are already talking about coming back. Thank you for sharing such an incredible home!l
