Clean, good communication, smooth check-in, place just as described. Pool nice and clean. Very comfortable beds. They go the extra mile with suppling extra soap, dish detergent, fabric softer, and toilet paper.
This house was in a nice location on a quiet street (although you do hear the jets from the AFB). Many of the surrounding houses and neighborhoods were negatively affected by the hurricanes, but this house was very clean and functional. The pool was very nice and warm. The communication with management was excellent (very responsive). Two nice parks within walking distance were a plus. Good restaurants and stores within a couple miles. We would definitely stay here again.
Owners stayed in contact and made sure we were happy and taken care of. House was perfect and had everything we needed. The location is nice and neighborhood is quiet. Yard was well kept and pool was nice and clean. Access to home was easy and I loved the keyless entry. Kids really enjoyed the pool/ping pong table. Only con was no light in the pool so once it got dark you couldn’t enjoy the pool until the 10 pm curfew but other than that no complaints at all. I would definitely stay again and would 10/10 recommend.
This property met all our expectations. We loved the pool/table tennis and played quite a few games on it. On arrival there was a bit of a mix up with the key code and WiFi password, but someone came over within 15 minutes and sorted it out for us. Also as a gesture of goodwill they also heated our pool free of charge. I have never come a cross such a kind and caring rental company and nothing was too much trouble. If I am ever in Tampa again I would book this home again. Thank you for all your help, we really enjoyed staying in your lovely property.
Great House, Great Host, Great Communication. Perfect spot for daily access to the base, less than ten minute travel time.
