My wife and I spent two quiet and comfortable months in this unique, gracefully aging home. Situated on the St. Joseph Sound tidal flats, the commanding view was mesmerizing, being adjacent to the mangroves and swaying palms. Sea birds soaring overhead and the splashes of fish off the dock gave the place a nature sanctuary feeling. Practically speaking, we really enjoyed the South Asian/India decor in the bedroom suite... but... because the impeccably maintained pool was unheated and El Niño influenced weather prevailed (i. e. cool and overcast), the pool was largely unusable during our stay. And, oh those steep stairs... Now the best part! Ginger and Ken are perfect VRBO hosts... thoughtfully attentive yet blissfully unobtrusive... really good people who decorated the home with a festive Christmas tree prior to our arrival. And, one other thing, Tarpon Springs, a picturesque, Greek influenced city, has a truly inspiring Epiphany celebration in January at Spring Bayou proudly involving many young men from the community. Needless to say, we wholeheartedly recommend this rental.
