Our kids, and their kids, had a great family vacation, staying in this very spacious house. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The kids enjoyed the pool table too.
We enjoyed our spring break time in Apollo Beach. The property was wonderful and as described. Lots of pool time, fishing off the dock, and relaxing with friends and family. Andy was always available and helpful with our needs. The restaurants nearby did not dissapoint and were not overcrowded. Great time, thanks!!
We stayed here with family and it was wonderful. Something was wrong with the pool pump, but owner took care of it quickly and was excellent in communicating what was going on. I would recommend this property to anyone. Had a great vacation, thanks!
The perfect place for our family gatherings & sisters’ getaway
This property is just incredible!! So much room, many gathering spaces, great views of the canal and pool area, comfortable beds, and everything we needed!! Andy repeatedly went out of his way to make our stay extra special and so easy! He also referred us to a great guy, Captain Phil, for a fishing tour. I highly recommend this property for a fun and relaxing getaway. We loved our sisters’ getaway and enjoyed the opportunity to share this beautiful home with many family members who came to visit us during our stay. (And the gates at the stairs made it perfectly safe when my grand babies came to visit.). I highly recommend this beautiful home!!
Wonderful house, clean and comfortable. Excellent pool and hot tub. Great veiv from the balcony. Spot-on communication from the owner.
Would definitely rent again if we visit the area.
A very nice two story house. Great game room and pool area. They were very accommodating for all our needs fora baby all they way up to 55 plus. Enjoyed our stay.
Went down for my wife's bday with a couple friends. Really enjoyed our stay. Pictures did this place no justice. Will definitely recommend and stay again.
We had 6 people (3 couples) that have vacationed together for a few years. Mostly just hung out at the house, used the pool, did dinners in and at a few area restaurants, etc. pretty low key but the house was perfect for us. Very well played out and organized. Communication was incredible and we appreciated everything. Gorgeous home that had everything we needed, totally turnkey.
We had a wonderful stay at this home! Has all amenities you can think of and enough room for large families without feeling crowded.
Andy was very responsive and accommodating!
We had an outstanding week at Bimini Oasis! It is a gorgeous home with everything you can possibly need. The pictures online were amazing but it is even prettier in person. Thank you for the hospitality, Andy!
The home was just as the photos showed, HUGE! It was a great lay out for the people we had. The backyard was amazing and we enjoyed every minute. Easy check in and Andy was quick to respond when we had any questions. Definitely worth checking out!
We had the most amazing time at Bimini Oasis! The house.. what can I say, It was the most beautiful home I’ve ever been in. They had everything that you could possibly want or need! Thank you Andy for allowing us to stay in your home and to make/have beautiful memories!!! Everything was PERFECT!!!
Our family (9 adults and 3 kids (9 months, 2 years, and 4 years)) stayed for a week and had an amazing time. The pool is AWESOME! Andy was wonderful to communicate with leading up to the trip and during our stay. They even had new high chair, pack and play, and stroller for our stay with little ones! Highly recommend :)
We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Andy has the home set up perfectly. We have absolutely no negative comments from our stay at Bimini Oasis. Andy is a great host! Will definitely book again if we visit the area again in the future.
This place is a complete gem! Two families- kids ranging from 2-5….so much space and activities in this home. It’s perfect! We enjoyed our stay so much we are looking to book for next winter already. Thanks Andy!
Bimini Oasis delivers the expectations of an exceptional vacation home
Bimini Oasis is a beautiful vacation home. I emphasize on home, because it felt like the host took great care in making Bimini Oasis a true home away from home. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating, everything and more that you would expect from a host. The atmosphere was fantastic and the sunsets were remarkable and unforgettable. The thoughtful amenities kept our family entertained the entire stay and the host truly captured the vibe of Apollo Beach with Bimini Oasis. We will definitely rebook Bimini Oasis the next time we are in Apollo Beach or the Tampa area.
This stay was a dream come true! Everything was just as described plus more. The home is beautiful and instructions were very clear. The hosts and staff were extremely helpful. The game room was amazing. My entire family wanted to know when we could go back! Thank you for everything. We created many memories.
The home from front to back is awesome! The outdoor activities, pool, hot tub and fishing we are hit with everyone in our group of 12. We had some bad weather come in 1 day and the pool table, Foosball table and arcade kept everyone entertained. I highly recommend this beautiful home!
Pictures don't do this waterfront home justice. The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated and well stocked. They thought of everything you would need and then some! We spent the majority of our week at Bimini Oasis. The backyard paradise offered us everything we wanted, including the awesome tiki bar. Was able to fully relax and enjoy a stress free week. Andy is a gracious host, calling the first day to let us know we could check in early and letting us know he was a call away if we needed anything. Thank you again for everything Andy. We look forward to returning to Bimini Oasis.
We had an amazing time. This house was well equipped for just about anything and everything you could possibly want. Beautiful pool and hot tub area that we Really enjoyed. Lovely decor. Quiet surroundings. Wish we were able to stay for 2 weeks!! Thanks so much Homeaway! You lived up to your name
This VRBO is a gorgeous, well-maintained mini-mansion!! The home is beautifully decorated, with attention to every detail. The game room downstairs will keep your family entertained for hours and the pool area and outdoor bar are amazing beyond words. I promise you the photos do not do this home justice! It truly is a tropical oasis. We loved the quiet location and the neighbors we met were very friendly. Fantastic restaurants are just down the road. Andy is an amazing host and truly provides an over-the-top, memorable, vacation experience.
Gorgeous home, perfect location and exceptional service! Our extended family of 10 (ages 6 months to 58) spent Christmas week in this beautiful home and could not have been happier! We have rented several places over the years, and this home and Andy exceeded all of our expectations! Our grandchildren absolutely loved the pool and spa. The game room is fantastic and we spent many evenings playing pool and watching football. This property is perfect for anyone looking for a high quality, well-stocked, spacious, super-clean and fun vacation home! Andy, we cannot thank you enough for a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Happy New Year!!!
We rented this amazing home to have a mini 30 year high school reunion. It was perfect. The bedrooms were comfortable, nice kitchen, and a large dining room table. We used the grill almost every night while we watched the sunset.
The landscaping is gorgeous. The pool temperature was perfect and we enjoyed the small hot tub as well.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks to our gracious host who checked in on us to make sure we had everything. 5 star experience!
