The house was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and loved that there were 2 sitting areas with tvs. The host was responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely stay again on my next visit.
Property was easy to find and in a great location. Communication with property management was easy and they were very accessible. Enjoyed the place. Would stay there again.
Overall a great home to rent.Very clean and in the middle of everything you need.The host was very polite and cared about our stay which says a lot.You won't regret choosing this one!
This property is in the perfect spot for access to the theme park and water park. Also very close to USF and lots of shopping and dining options. The owner was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions.
We had a great stay this weekend for our daughter's graduation from USF! The property is spacious, clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, just minutes away from USF and the host could not have been more helpful. I highly recommend staying here!
The house is super comfortable, spacious, and peaceful. Everything works well and is organized keeping your possible needs, and comfort in mind. If we ever need to stay in Tampa again, this is the first place that I will check for availability. The owner was very attentive and kind.
This property was right next to Busch Gardens which was a great location for us since that was where we were headed. The property was spacious and clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The owners were friendly and easy to work with. Would stay again.
We had 6 adults and a toddler to attend my son's graduation and also to spend a day at Busch Gardens. The house was impeccably clean and fresh and had plenty of space for everyone. Communication was great with the hosts.
We wanted to visit the Zoo and Busch Gardens. This house was close to both and allowed us to stay in a house together. The house was perfect for us! Plenty of room and very clean. The host was responsive and immediately answered any questions we had. We would stay here again!
Sidney was a very attentive host. The house was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed having the outdoor space. Although my stay was for business it was close to entertainment if you are traveling with family.
Was the perfect location for us. Met family for Thanksgiving and made several trips to Bush Gardens, Having a full kitchen, we were able to prepare meals and save money not eating out, 5 min to Publix. Clean and had everything we needed. Outside space and seperate den were perfect for kids. Very comfortable! Great host and will definitely stay when we visit Tampa.
This is an immaculate, well maintained property. It is nicely done up in Caribbean style with attractive, comfortable furnishings organized for relaxing with family and friends. The excellent beds alone are a good reason to make this your "home" in Tampa. This house was on a par with the best VRBO's we've used.
Overall property was nice. Cannot walk to any restaurants or stores. One upgrade suggested is provide coffee, more toilet paper especially with size of group and perhaps small shampoo, conditioner and soap. Thank you!
The property was clean and cozy. It was well stocked with dishes, etc. The property owners were very friendly and welcoming. Furnishings were clean and comfortable. We had plenty of room for our party of 6 adults and 1 child. It was a good value...much less than getting separate hotel rooms. I recommend this property if you are in the Terrace Park, Temple Terrace, Busch Gardens, University of South Florida section of Tampa.
When we arrived host met us at housw with fresh fruit from the yard, answered any questions we had and showed us around. The beds were comfy and house large enough for everyone to have their own space. The back yard was amazing. Had a 3 yo who loved catching lizards. There were 8 of us who came in for a concert. Could not have been happier. Would definitely recommend. Owners very pleasant and courteous. Would definitely recommend!!
