The Great Escape 3BR 2B Entire house

A 20 min drive from the Tampa international airport this is our quaint newly renovated vacation home, in South Tampa. A 20 minute drive from Tropicana Fields and the Amalie Arena, in addition to the Tampa Zoo and aquarium. Honestly it’s a great location to get to almost anything fun in the Tampa area! And if you want to just stay in we set up a backyard oasis with a pool/hot tub spa combo surrounded by a cozy shaded relaxing patio. Paradise is right around the corner in our Great Escape!

Great stay

Beautiful home that is well taken care of. The owners have done a great job of making the place a home away from home. Very clean and comfortable. The check-in process was a breeze, even accommodating us for a last minute extra night. The location is super convenient for city exploration. Can't wait for our next stay there!

The Great Escape was everything we were looking for!

This cute little house was so adorable, decorated so pretty. It was clean & cozy plus excellent location to all fun things in Tampa and the surrounding areas. Tampa zoo, Florida aquarium, Busch Gardens. Legoland was a little over an hour away. which wasn’t bad at all. Clearwater beach within 40 minutes….we couldn’t have been more pleased with choosing this property. Super quiet neighborhood. Beds were cozy. Owners and host is very attentive and quick to respond. We had a great vacation!

Home Away From Home

From the time we arrived until the end of our stay we were constantly surprised by the attention to detail and concern for our comfort. Nothing could have been improved upon, and we appreciated the thoughtful gestures of an arrival gift, warm cuddly bathrobes and the very well equipped kitchen.A five Star experience!

Amazing find

This is a wonderful home, they have provided any and everything you could possibly want or need. The enclosed backyard with the spa pool is a great place to sit in the morning and drink your coffee or relax in the pool after a day of sightseeing. Chelsea was wonderful checking in with us when we arrived and available anytime we had questions. We will definitely be back!!

Great Escape

Three of us stayed for one week in February. The home was immaculate. We enjoyed the swim spa after long days of shopping and the beach. Everything down to the plush blankets and French press was impressive. It was a pleasure having things like beach towels, bags, coolers, chairs…available to use during outings. If your looking for a fantastic place to stay in Port Tampa City check out The Great Escape.

The best yet

My wife and I have used rentals from various platforms for years. A few have stood above the rest. Our stay here at Michael and Paige's beautiful bungalow lands at the top!Everything was perfect. Beautiful house, beautiful decorating, everything you would want – including things that you might have forgotten to pack.What a joy to sit for morning coffee or evening drinks in the screened back porch. Connect your phone to the speakers and soak in the hot tub. Wonderful!The beds were comfortable, having a washer and dryer was great! If you are going to Tampa for any reason, I would highly, highly recommend this property.
