Mar 12, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Central Location The location is perfect for Tampa. About 25 minutes from downtown. We were golfing in the area and only going downtown to eat dinner, so this was perfect for us. Quiet neighbrohood. The only con is that there were 0 paper towels, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and one towel per person. This was disappointing as we had to buy these things at Target. ##### Alexa M.

She immediately addressed any and every issue that arose. Communication was great on her end. I was a little slow to respond as I was not accustomed to the VRBO app. Will consider this property if it is available for our next trip to Tampa. ##### Valdosta A.
