Perfect Retreat
Seminole Heights was the perfect place for our short stay in Tampa! Not only was it comfy and quaint, it was extremely clean! Ed's directions and check-in instructions were super helpful, too! We will definitely stay here if we are ever back in the Tampa area!

The best of the best!
After staying at several VRBO properties we can say that this one was without question the best. Property was immaculate and had a tremendous view of the river. Hosts Ed and Marianne could not have been more helpful and friendly! Their suggestions for restaurants were spot on.

A hidden gem that is a comfortable, private retreat
This homey little apartment is perfect for a serene getaway for a couple or single that love sitting on a deck watching the river go by and looking out for birds, manatees, and alligators. Driving down the main drag, you would never know this private, safe little neighborhood on the river exists. Very clean, and Ed and Marianne are superhosts! Friendly, responsive, and can direct you to anything you are interested in exploring in Tampa. And the zoo is practically around the corner!

A marvelous time on Hillsborough River
We had a wonderful stay perched above the river. Our hosts were over-the-top. Mystified by the TV? Host Ed will be right up. Might we extend two days? Host Marianne reworked cleaning and such so that it could happen. We loved sitting on the deck with my brother who lives nearby. Highway access was totally doable. We hope to be back!

Our first Vrbo and it was great!
This was our first Vrbo experience, so we weren’t sure what to expect. This was so much better than staying at a hotel! It was like staying at a friend’s house. It was quiet and private and the location was a perfect distance from where we spent our days. We liked that it is just buffered enough from Florida Ave. and still close enough to Bo’s for ice cream, Wa Wa for morning coffee, and Krispy Kreme for when they had freshly made donuts. Would happily stay again!
