Sadly we no only got one night. House was extremely clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location was very convenient. If I need a Tampa layover again, this would be the place.
Wish we could have stayed longer!
Everything was as described, beds were comfortable, pool, hot tub, and backyard were very enjoyable for our quick 2 night stay. We would definitely book again.
We had a concert at the amphitheater and it was an easy 20 minute drive.
Best house in the neighborhood. Clean and spacious open plan. Comfortable beds. Updated. Would gladly stay again. Other than a squeaky bedroom door and no shampoo in one of the bathrooms, it was a pleasant stay.
The house was good for what we needed. Kind of a weird area surrounding it and seems like not good situations neighboring the house but we were safe. Pool and hot tub were great to have when we were hanging out the house. Not too bad to get to st Pete’s or downtown. Can walk to Walmart/publix and those shopping centers.
Enjoyable. Communication could have been better, while there. Will say that Check-in and check-out was smooth and communicated well.
Just an FYI..recycle pick up is Tuesday. Trash is Tuesday and Friday.
We loved our stay at this house. The house was just as described in the listing. Check in and check out was easy, It was clean, the kitchen was well stocked and it was close to two! Publix grocery stores as well as a Target and lots of places to get food. The neighborhood was quiet. Communication with the owner was excellent. I received an immediate response every time I asked a question. The pool was a little cold for us to use this time of year but that was ok because the hot tub and putting green kept us entertained. The pool also has a safety fence around it which is a plus for families with little kids. We really enjoyed spending time in the beautiful green and lush back year area. Just 15 minutes to downtown and 40 minutes to Clearwater for Spring Training. Thanks for a great stay,
Paola Y.

Good Location
Good location to Raymond James & downtown. Nice back door set up, landscaping was pretty. Apartment complex direct behind (no issues), surrounding homes were not as well kept, neighbor next door smoking marijuana frequently on his front porch. Maintenance 3/5 - many things were overlooked and should have been repaired. Cleanliness 3/5. The kitchen lacked several basics such as a frying pan larger than 6”, property manager did bring a larger one the day after we arrived, no pot holders/oven mitts. Beds were comfortable. Towels have seen better days. It worked but the price was hefty.
Booked this place last min after my other reservation got cancelled. Overall we liked the place, it's spacious, beds are comfortable, check in and check out process was very easy, and hot tub was definitely a plus since it was too cold to use the pool. Host charges a 75 fee for an extra 2h for early check in and late check out. Cleaning team needs to be more thorough- bathtub and shower were dirty, as well as bathroom sink, kitchen cabinets and under bed. Couch is very comfy but has a huge stain, as well as the cushions outside. Outdoor area needs more lighting as it's completely dark at night and staying out becomes difficult. Kitchen had everything we needed, except for kitchen towels and oven mitts. Host did not reply to my message about the house being dirty.
House was clean and location was close to a lot of conveniences! The best part is the backyard! Very secluded with a great pool, hot tub and putting area.
Our stay was seamless. Check-in was easy and the property was just as described- no surprises. We chose this location to be close to family that lives in the area, but it’s super convenient to grocery, etc. and short drive to the airport. Owner is super responsive and helpful.
We came for a concert and this home gave us a perfect weekend. It was a great neighborhood away from the Tampa life but close enough to drive to everything. The backyard was our favorite we spent an entire day in the pool.
Very reasonably priced and fit our family well. Very comfortable. Most necessary kitchenware was there except for skillet. Only had a small one so had to purchase one sufficient for our family. Otherwise, good place to stay for our beach vacation.
We were visiting to move our daughter in at University of Tampa. This was perfect location for what we needed- 5 minutes from shops like target and Walmart, 15 min from school. We were able to have some Amazon deliveries to house as well. House is clean and nicely decorated. Pool was great for the two days we had nice weather. Def recommend.
Nice house, had everything we needed. Close location with easy access to everything we planned doing while on vacation. A few items could use attention...better grill with a drip pan will help for future. A booklet or binder with some directions for TVs, fan, air conditioner etc. All and all was a great stay.
We enjoyed the hot tub the most! The layout of the house is great. So much room. The only negative was there was a picture that had fallen off the wall, broken glass on the floor & we informed the property manager right away. Someone was supposed to come & clean it up but never did.
Property was tastefully decorated and comfortable. We had plenty of room and even though it was very cold in Florida when we were there, we enjoyed the patio, fire pit, and putting green. There were a few items that needed attention and my communications with the property manager got immediate replies each time.
This nicely renovated house is in a quiet Tampa neighborhood that is convenient to both St Petersburg and downtown Tampa. If you stay in the summer, consider bringing along a few extra fans, as the outdoor heat made it hard for the whole house to cool. Otherwise, our stay was as flawless as the landscaping and we will definitely rebook when we return to the area!
The neighbors were very noisy but the house was nice and we had what we needed for the night. Kevin was very helpful and answered all of our questions.
The lawn care and pool companies came during our one night stay. A/C worked great! Backyard setup was very awesome and fun!
