Stay in Largo
We loved staying at the Surf Shack! It was a clean, quiet, fun place to relax and rest. Great host with detailed explanations and quick responses. We will be back!
Enjoyed our stay, everything was very nice ! Very clean and comfortable for 2 people. Only suggestion would be is to put a clock in the room and put a better mattress, maybe memory foam and extra pillows! Otherwise irrational a great little place. We would definitely go back!

Overall positive
Overall it was a nice place. Small but cozy. I liked having the little yard area, and it was very convenient to get to the beach. There is a gas grill, but one of the three burners on it didn't work, and the bed was pretty hard, but other than that, no complaints.

Very cute
The property was really cute and very clean. It had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The only suggestion I might make is to have a curtain from wall to wall that it could be open or closed for a little privacy so the shower is not open to the room.

Picture Perfect
This place is easy to find and nestled in a quiet neighborhood setting. There is a beautiful park at the end of the street. The enclosed outdoor patio area is very tranquil and peaceful. The bikes were fun to hop on and ride to the park and a local eatery.The room itself is well furnished and decorated tastefully.BONUS:***The room, bedding, and towels were clean but VOID of any strong, chemical or heavily fragranced odors!***The bed was firm, the headboard had outlets for devices.We loved our stay here !
We loved it and hope to stay there every year for our family! So clean and Caleb has thought of everything one could possibly need!! Thanks so much!!!

Great Place to Crash
Great little studio to crash on a quick vacation to IRB. Caleb was a courteous host and very responsive. The provided beach chairs and umbrella were perfect for us. Just a 5 min ride to the beach and walking distance to a couple bars and Publix. The property was clean and as described. Thanks

Just Perfect
My husband and I were visiting family in the Tampa area. This property was perfect for what we needed. It was central, clean and well stocked. We were quite impressed with all the details and organization of EVERYTHING we needed for our stay. So CLEAN! Bed was very comfortable. We hope to return.
