Family Transition
Beautiful house in an off the beaten path allowed for much needed R&R as our family moves out of the states. Happy our last few days in the USA included staying at the Terra Ceia slice of Heaven. Thank you for sharing your space with us! My son caught a foot long catfish and my kids enjoyed putting the kayacks to use.

We enjoyed our peaceful getaway! The house and location were fantastic. The hosts were fantastic with questions I had to ask related to needing to work while taking a ‘few days off.’ Always prompt and always helpful. We enjoyed our time … just wish we had more time to spend on the water.

Perfect getaway
Very nice place, the millers are fantastic hosts. The house was well stocked, with plenty to do. Situated in a very good, quiet area, with lots to do within a short drive. This house is just as described in the listing, we had a wonderful time here. The only recommendation i can give to future guests is to watch the tide if youre bringing your boat. Flats or bay boats shouldnt have a problem, but bigger center consoles can run aground, as we did out in the bay headed towards the main channel. The millers have a map that explains the correct way out, but on low tide, there are portions of the bay that get to half a foot of water or less. This is the perfect spot for back country fishing or just sight seeing manatees and wildlife.

Great place to relax with family! The owners were very responsive and check in / out was a breeze. Loved having the kayaks to explore. The house was clean and had everything you needed from soap, snacks, bug spray, plenty of towels and beach towels so didn’t have to bring or buy any extra stuff for the stay. Enjoyed visiting Anna Marie Island and Pass-a-Grille Beach. The local Citrus Place is great for getting home made Key Lime Pie and loved their orange/vanilla and key lime ice cream. Very quiet and friendly community. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely delightful. The home is well maintained and very comfortable from large screened in porch to bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped and washer and dryer clean and new. It felt more like borrowing a friends home than a rental property. I would absolutely rent again. Donna & Bill.

Fisherman's paradise!
Stay here if you plan to fish around the area. Good owners and plenty of extra fishing pole and accessories for you to use. Just make sure to return them when you are done! We left a fishing pole back for the next renters and as a souvenir for the owners.

Sunlit home with sunset views
What a wonderful vacation home in a quiet neighborhood! The area has a relaxing Old Florida feel. The house has an open floorplan filled with natural light and offers great water views. We saw manatees and a dolphin swim by! We enjoyed paddling about in the kayaks. We loved the large screened porch with fabulous sunset views. Even the upstairs shower is spacious and sunlit. The house is well stocked with all the basics, and the hosts provided so many thoughtful extras which made our stay even better. The hosts are fabulous and very responsive to any questions. We hope to return for another visit.

Fantastic vacation home. Owner was quick to respond. House was very clean and great location. My wife caught 12lb catfish off the dock she was so excited. We only stayed 2 nights before taking a cruise ship out of Tampa. Next time we will skip cruise ship and just stay here.

We had a great time. Janet is hands down the best host I've had in a rental. She had instant communication and even informed us of a couple minor issues that we didnt even notice like a flat bike tire that was fixed immediately. The location was perfect for us, we love fishing so we were mins away from Skyway pier and not far from some other great fishing spots. Thanks for having us Janet and Donnie, hopefully we'll be staying with you again!
