Perfect vacation home for our family!

The house was perfect for our family, with a 4yo and 6yo. It had everything we needed… my 6yo loved fishing off the dock in the back.

This was a perfect home for us to stay for a week while visiting family. Clean, quiet, comfortable, with a lovely back deck and dock on the water. Amenities were easily accessible and communication with the host was easy and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect for our family

We absolutely loved staying at this home… hoping to make it our Tarpon Springs home for each break, since we visit grandparents there. My 6yo son loved fishing off the dock (he caught a catfish on our first night)! We loved being able to walk into town, and the short drive to Howard Beach. The house was well stocked - we didn’t need anything! And it was easy to host family dinners with grandparents over.

Fabulous waterfront spot with dock

Maxwell House is a wonderful, comfortable place to stay in Tarpon Springs. The living room, dining area and kitchen are spacious with a lovely view of water. Sitting areas outside to enjoy on dock or back deck. Didn’t hear people in attached rental but did have a brief chat. The two rentals are completely separate. Would highly recommend and hope to return.

Lovely Stay

We spent 4 days here. Loved having morning coffee on the dock! The nearby park around the lake was a lovely walk. We were able to walk to dinner at Rusty Bellies, a wonderful restaurant with water views. The beach is just a short drive away and the pastries downtown are not to be missed!

10/10 recommend!

We booked this place to stay while visiting friends in the area. Not only were the beds comfortable, but the property is beautiful! The water is lovely to wake up to each day, and we even saw dolphins during our stay. We loved spending our evenings out on the dock and back deck. I wish we could have stayed longer. It's the perfect spot to unwind and relax. I'll definitely be booking again.

Very comfortable home with great views of the water

We totally enjoyed our stay in Tarpon Springs. The house was very quiet and comfortable for my husband and I. We especially enjoyed spending time outside on the dock looking at the water and seeing the fish jump. What a great central location to the sponge docks, restaurants, beaches, and downtown. Great communication with the host and plenty of amenities available. This is the best place to stay in Tarpon hands down!

The place is nicely decorated and well stocked. Furniture and appliances were exactly what we needed and the new dock over the water was a great place to relax. One of the best places my wife and I have enjoyed.
