I had a great day in this house. I’m working in the area so the location was perfect for me and I was able to stay 60 days. The host is very responsive and answered any questions quickly. I had no issues come up during my stay. I recommend this home for anyone who’s looking for a quiet retreat that is also close to the beaches, restaurants, and other amenities in the Saint Pete Clearwater area. I highly recommend the Seminole park, which is close by.

Sharon was extremely accommodating when I wanted to extend my stay by another week and move to a unit that had laundry (right next door), allowing me a later checkout from the one I was staying in and right into the new one.

This is a lovely house in a nice quiet neighborhood. Close to everything. It was well appointed and equipped. The host Sharon was great to work with. Highly recommend.

Sharon's cozy place was a delight to visit. I hope I get to visit again. The kitchen was well stocked. It was an easy walk to the ballpark, to restaurants and to a major super market.
