Jul 20, 2017 #### Fantastic! My family and I loved staying here. We had everything we needed and more. The place is beautiful and the hospitality was far greater than expected. We hope to make this our regular place to stay any time we are in Tampa! Thanks, Mike! It was a great week! ##### Marianne R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### allison r. Nov 9, 2018 #### Peacock Paradise! From the moment we arrived Mike was welcoming, charming, and very helpful. The location was very accessible to downtown, and the perfect place to return to after a long day at our convention. Between the river view and the peacock parade, the great kitchen and comfortable seating, cozy beds and well appointed bathrooms, glorious sunsets on the terrace...well, let's just say it was wonderful. ##### allison r. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Richard P. Feb 13, 2018 #### The property is not as represented in photo This property is not as represented in the photo. It consists of three separate units of which two are occupied and which share the backyard and the courtyard. I rented the property to have a fenced yard for my dogs and only choose pet friendly rentals. Upon arrival I was told I should have contracted the owner as his dog who resides on the property and has use of the backyard and undergone an operation and could not interact with my dogs. This was not noted in the advertisement nor in the exchange of emails prior to my arrival. I have requested a full refund but the owner has not responded other than releasing my damage deposit for a rental that I did not occupy. This listing should be for a property that is occupied and not represented as a stand alone property. Very disappoint with Owner and Company which I used to find this property. ##### Richard P. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jan B., Titusville Mar 21, 2017 #### Very nice The kitchen was large and the host helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed the peacocks that were on the property. Having a large place like this near downtown Tampa was s serious upgrade from a hotel room. ##### Jan B. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### William B., Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 9, 2017 #### A very relaxing stay and a gracious host A spacious property built in the 40's with "Old South" charm. Owner has done many exterior upgrades and lives in adjacent apartment with his trusted friend Rocky, a Springer Spaniel. Both were very welcoming and made the place feel like home. Ideally suited for two couples, but compromise needed since 2nd bedroom is significantly smaller than large master. Very centrally located to all amenities and sites - airport, downtown and riverwalk, shopping, golf, baseball, Ybor tourist area. St. Pete's and famous Gulf beaches only 45 minutes drive. We really enjoyed our stay. ##### William B.
