Castaway Cove — Guest Reviews

Leonardo was a pleasure ! “We had a wonderful stay at this house! The location was amazing ,just one block from the beach, which made it super convenient. The house was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the pool and the grill area overlooking the canal, which made for relaxing evenings and a great atmosphere. The neighborhood was peaceful, and everything was exactly as described. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway!”

Hunter was a pleasure to host! Had a wonderful stay, very large group of us, and we all enjoyed the house. We stayed with a toddler and it gave a lot piece of mind to have a screened in porch area, with steps (and a pool alarm on the door) between the main living space and the pool/dock. Very close shops, and walk to the beach was so quick and convenient. House was great overall, however, the furniture is a little tired and can tell things have taken a little beating here and there. Also, just something to keep in mind with booking, this is a management company, not an individual so they are not as flexible on things like late checkout / early check in / leaving a car parked in the driveway after checkout. With that said - bare bones house means you have to buy every little condiment and necessity for your stay. Including garbage bags, coffee filters, dish detergent, spices, oil, etc. Not saying this is a bad thing, was just different. Felt like a waste of some stuff but we gave extras to the neighbors.

Patricia was a pleasure to host! Perfect house and pool with hot tub for our 12 member intergenerational family reunion! Very spacious with comfortable king beds, and a children’s bunk room. Games room downstairs. Loved the outdoor shower and potty for the kids! The beach was beautiful; you can walk for miles along the pristine water! Nice casual beachside restaurant a couple of blocks away with cute shops walking distance. Our three adult children and their spouses fell in love with this place! Their children are little so it was very fun and easy for them. AMI has a friendly relaxed vibe and the hosting agency is super responsive to any issues! We would definitely rent here again.

It was a pleasure hosting you! This home was great for our group, 2 adult couples and 4 teenagers. There are great shared spaces but also enough bedrooms and bathrooms for a large group to share. The location is amazing and was perfect for our needs, plenty of parking for our cars, canal access with a dock for a boat that allowed us to easily get out to Tampa Bay, a garage to store our bikes, paddle boards, and beach toys, only a short walk to the public beach access at the end of the street, and plenty of walkable restaurants and bars for the nights we wanted to go out. The kitchen was well stocked for the nights we wanted to cook with plenty of dishes and utensils (including a crock pot) to prepare and serve our group of 8. The first level game room (ping pong, pool, and foosball) and the heated pool with hot tub were great for the teenagers. We stayed for 2 weeks and only needed to contact the host for a couple minor needs, but when we did they were immediately responsive with same day service and resolution.

Eddy was a pleasure to host!

Property was as advertised. Quiet neighborhood, but highly walkable to beaches, fishing, shopping and restaurants, plus trolley stop at the end of the block. We utilized all amenities, and had a relaxing time. Would stay here again if we return with 10 adults. Loved our time on the Island!!

Daniel & Jillian were a pleasure to host! This place is perfect for young children - very safe and clean. Bunk bed room is perfect for multiple kids. The location cannot be beat - restaurants and beach within 2 blocks. As a mom of two kids under 4, I appreciated the attention to kitchen detail, there was even a crock pot! I got to do yoga on the canal dock and listen to fish jump while my kids played in the heated pool. It was chilly (50-60 degrees most of the time in January when we were there and the pool and hot tub remained warm enough to enjoy. Also, you can’t beat the walk in closet in the master bathroom. Highly recommend!
