Our family enjoyed a comfortable stay at this conveniently located, clean property. Super close to downtown Tampa, the airport and a short 30 min drive to beaches.
Great host, great property, in a great location for West Tampa. Nicely furnished and comfortable all-around with all the basics covered. Perfect backyard if you are traveling with your dog as well. If you need a place in West Tampa this is it.
The property was as represented, clean and had anything we needed. It is located on a quiet, nice street. Suited our needs perfectly. We will reserve here again!

The home is in a nice and very convenient neighborhood. It is quiet and very close to a big park. The house is spacious and was clean. The towels as well as the couch in the living room were a bit worn and could use replacing. Owner was available and easy to contact.
The house was very clean. Check in was easy. The yard was nice to sit in morning with our coffee. It was in a GREAT location. 15 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from family, 8 minutes to Amerture Works amd 15 minutes to RJ Stadium.
We needed a place to stay 4 nights while our house was getting some work done. This was the perfect place for a family of 4 that included toddlers and dogs. The house had all the creature comforts and a nice sized backyard, but wished there was a dish washer. Bonus for being next to a park with a shaded playground, dog run basketball and pickle ball courts. The neighborhood was safe and close to downtown and River Walk. Would stay again!
The communication with the property managers was excellent -- from directions to the house and entry procedure to help when I left an item behind on check out day.
The house is a tidy, cozy ranch style house in a quiet neighborhood. You walk into a large room with a table to one side and living room on the other. The kitchen completes the entry. Down a hallway are the bedrooms which were clean and comfortable. One full bathroom off the hallway and one in the master bedroom gave us plenty of room to get ready in the mornings.
It seemed to be a quick drive to everything we wanted to do (downtown, Zoo, trader joes, mall, expressway). We found many good places to eat within a short drive from the house. We didn't use the backyard (table, chairs, grill). However, at the end of the street were pickelball courts that were alway busy. We should have brought our paddles!
If you are looking for a convenient and pleasant place to stay in Tampa, we would recommend it.

Home was as described. Upon arrival the home was neat, clean and comfortable. It was close to downtown and all attractions. I had one issue with the door code before arrival and the host was super responsive and the issue was resolved in minutes. I would definitely recommend and I would certainly stay here again. Arron was a great host.

The Carmen Guest House was exactly what I was looking for! The house was a really nice space, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Easy to follow instructions from the homeowners. We had a great trip and would definitely stay here again!
Propert was just as adverised and as shown in pictures. Bedrooms and bedding were very comfortable, quiet and dark (meaning good draperies and window shades). Would defintely returnsc9nsider returning on future
This home was a great base for our five-member family. The home was stocked well. The AC worked great. Safe, secure, clean. Perfect for our Tampa getaway.
We were in town visiting our daughter at University of Tampa, and this property was the perfect location for quick back and forth trips to school, as well as exploring Tampa, Tarpon Springs, and St. Pete. Property manager had great, proactive communication - thank you!
Good location while visiting our child who attends the University of Tampa. The beds were very comfortable. The outdoor table umbrella needs cleaning and repairs.
