Cozy Home with Heated pool near Clearwater Beach

I rarely leave negative reviews and usually choose to say nothing instead, but unfortunately this experience warrants sharing. On the first morning of our four-night stay, we discovered there was no hot water, leaving us with cold showers. The towels were the worst I have ever encountered—every single one was threadbare and heavily stained. We initially assumed it was a one-off and searched for alternatives, but all available towels were in the same condition. There was also only one electrical outlet in the bedroom, located behind the bed. I had to pull the bed away from the wall to access it, only to find that half of the outlet did not work. This meant I had to choose between having the light on or charging my phone, but not both. I contacted the owner via text to explain the issues. His initial response was simply, “leave,” which was shocking. After I sent a photo of one of the towels, he acknowledged they were unacceptable and said he would bring replacements. The following day when I called about the lack of hot water, he stated he could not ask his plumber to come out over the holidays and again told us we should find other accommodation. This was New Year’s Eve, with no realistic option to find alternative accommodation at such short notice. As two women traveling alone, we felt increasingly uncomfortable dealing with an angry and dismissive owner. He also expected us to wait in for the plumber or leave the house unlocked for him. Overall a unpleasant experience.

Great place

Very clean place. Had an issue with the one toilet but they fixed it that day. The pool was set to a perfect temperature. The one pool table stick didn’t have a tip to it. If you want to use the propane fireplace they told us we had to buy a propane tank. However, they have one in the fireplace that had propane in it because we used the grill but the propane fireplace still would not turn on. The kitchen sink faucet leaks unless you get it right in the perfect spot. These were the same issues from a previous review in Oct 2025, I had asked before we got there if they were fixed and they said yes but once we got there we had similar issues.
