We loved our stay in Dave's Bayou. The location is in a quiet community with a beautiful view of the pond. We were within close driving distance to the beaches in Clearwater, Dunedin,and Tarpon Springs. The Dunedin Causeway to Honeymoon Island is only 2 miles away, very easy to bike to and The Pinellas Bike Trail is only a minute or two riding distance from the house. Jeff was very helpful and friendly and met our needs satisfactorily. The house is fabulous. The interior has an open design with large stainglass windows that fit the setting of the home. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and linens. The house is very kid friendly with hard wood floors in the main living space and carpet in the bedrooms. The decor of the home is durable, yet inviting which is perfect when you have teenagers. We spent a great deal of time on the beach on Honeymoon island because it is so close to the house. The park is beautiful and offers a spectacular view of the sunset. The downside is that you have to pay. The Island outpost restraunt on the causeway serves excellent food with good live entertainment and the prices are reasonable. We also liked Frenchies Rockaway grill in clearwater. I love restraunts on the beach!! Tarpon Springs Sponge docks are a must see. We did not go to see the sponges but to shop and sample the authentic Greek food. We found this awesome chocolate wine at this greek market in the heart of the shops. We wish we had more time to go back and get more. We drank the bottle we bought! If you are looking for a home away from home for a vacation at the beach, Dave's Bayou is just the place you are seeking.

Unfortunately, during our stay it rained almost everyday, so the outdoor things we had planned were not possible. But because of the layout and the comfort the house provided we were able to totally relax, even with the seven (7) children in tow. There is plenty of space so that no one felt cramped. The location was very quiet and provided much serenity outdoors. There were menus to the local eateries that made it easy to find food for all types of tastes. Jeff provided excellent customer service. I would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our family vacation at this beautiful, comfortable home! It is exactly as the pictures show it with comfortable furnishings, very clean and is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your time there. You can walk to the Pinellas Trail for a morning jog or sunset stroll, enjoy great area restaurants and the world famous Clearwater Beach is just a short drive.
The owner provided friendly service and information on the property and area, maintains the property with pride and does all he can to insure his guests enjoy their stay.

We loved the open layout, large windows and decks of this home ( also the extra large garage where we set up ping-pong). It's in a nice neighborhood close to many conveniences and an easy ride to the beach, bike/walking trail and parks.
Jeff was extremely friendly, helpful and easy to work with.
We hope to have the opportunity to rent again sometime.

House and property were wonderful, quiet neighborhood so one could really enjoy the bayou from the deck - will miss watching all the waterfowl and the fish jumping. Also central access to so much - Dunedin, Clearwater, beaches, parks, Tarpon Springs, Pinella Trails. Owner very hospitable and provided useful information to the area - thanks, Jeff.
