This place is adorable! It was exactly what we needed for a place to stay one night before a cruise. It has a comfortable bed, a huge bathroom, a nice little sitting room and some really unique decorations that make you laugh, remember and/or think.

It was a very cozy place to stay for my husband and I, it was clean and comfortable the only thing I would change is having a place to hang my jacket. The owners were very nice and communication was easy, I would stay there again.

Pre-Cruise Stay

We needed a place to stay the night before a cruise and this was a great spot. It was very clean and close to the port. Even though it was a garage turned studio, it was comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay. Check in and check out were quick and simple. A good alternative to the high price hotels in the area.

Perfect for what I needed. It's a garage so it's away from the street and very secluded. Joy and her husband were super friendly and helpful with the area and knowing things to do. Centrally located to nearby places. Felt safe and comfortable knowing they were in the house.

Easy to find. Very kitschy and cute. Fit the bill for a one night stay for a local concert in Tampa. We fell in love with butter bread and bandit. Their local felines.🤗

The hosts were friendly and helpful. Readily available when needed. The room was quaint and cute, TV, WIFI Shower worked well. Bed was comfy. The property is close to the airport and very close to cruise terminal. Lots of shops and restaurants, though I believe you would need a car. My only suggestion is to place a small table where the microwave is located, so guests can have their meal. . It was a pleasant experience.

Not set up for 2 people. The double bed was boxed in by two walls and a dresser making it difficult to get out of the bed for the person sleeping closest to the wall. Mattress had sunk in the middle so both of us rolled to the middle. It would be fine for a single person.
