Pool heater happened to be broken but the owners very quickly responded and not only didn't charge us for it, they also provided a refund for the inconvenience. Outside could use some TLC to match the inside of the house, although this doesnt affect your stay in anyway. ##### Kim K. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barb W.

They added little touches that you don’t usually see on vrbo homes. The kitchen was very well equipped and the general set up of the house was great. The back of the house looks out to a very pretty pool area and a large grassy and tree area that is home to the many birds along the nearby bird trail. Our dog loved her walks along the river front. The home is close to all amenities. The home has an ideal location. We will be back! ##### Barb W. Stayed 34 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Calvin W.

We had a family get together for Easter weekend, and this house was perfect. A very nice pool area, screened in and shaded, a beautifully decorated house with 4 nice bedrooms and 3 baths. What really made it special were the extras: pool toys for the kids, foosball table, croquet set, bikes, all of the cooking tools and extras… all the way down to a junk drawer in the laundry room. The location is very close to Busch Gardens, and it is easy to get access to the rest of the Tampa area. And it’s less than 1/4 mile to 2 different playgrounds, and a park along the Hillsborough River. They even have a pack and play and highchair for the baby. I HIGHLY recommend this retreat. ##### Calvin W. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jolynn S.

The home was only 12 minutes away from the hospital and absolutely perfect for our family's needs. It is a large, very nice home that has absolutely everything you could possibly need along with the added bonus of the pool. The owners (and hosts) we so kind, compassionate and accommodating, which made our stressful situation much easier. We couldn't have asked for a better rental home situation and location than this home. ##### Jolynn S. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan H.

The house was beautiful-looked just like the pictures. It was the perfect house for hosting Thanksgiving and entertaining the rest of our family. We loved the pool area, although it turned cold and we never had the opportunity to actually use the pool. The house was well stocked and had ample space for all of us. Any time we had a question or problem the hosts quickly responded to our inquiries. I would definitely stay at this VRBO again -hopefully with better pool weather the next time. ##### Susan H. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Carey E. Aug 13, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pool Was Green and Unusable I reserved this house specifically for the pool, and upon arrival, the pool water was green.  When I first sent a message to the owners they said it had been tested and the water was fine.   The next day, when it looked worse, I actually sent a photo and the owners stated that was unacceptable and refunded me $200 for my week’s rental.  They did say they would get someone out to look at the pool and the following day the owner’s daughter showed up, to check it out, however, the pool remained green. They showed up one additional time as well. Finally, on the 5th day of the rental (we hadn’t been able to use the pool at all) the person who’d installed the pool showed up, and found that either the pool service or previous guests had not placed the filter basket correctly, so debris had gotten into the impeller and completely gunked the system up. The pool vacuum hadn’t been running, and only then began to move about the pool  He said the it would need to be re-balanced with chemicals before it was usable again as it was depleted of chlorine. Needless to say, we were not able to use the pool at all the entire week.  Considering I paid at last $100 more per day and stayed further from downtown Tampa just for the pool, I emailed the owners and asked for another $300 discount on my stay, which would have averaged out to about a $75 discount per night which is what I could have paid for a house closer to downtown (I was driving there twice a day, taking my daughter back and forth for a ballet school. The owners rather curtly informed me that the water had been professionally tested and cleaned before I arrived, and several times during my stay, and that the $200 was for my inconvenience. This was definitely not the case, as I never saw the pool service, and the pool installer specifically said it needed rebalancing.  I took a photo of the invoice that he left stating as such. ##### Carey E.

Wow we had an awesome stay at this beautiful house. The description and pictures do not do justice to this house. Props go out to the owner, this house was outstanding. Our family’s stay was so memorable with the comfortable beds, cleanliness, full stocked kitchen and the pool area. (just to make a few) The owners made the whole checking process easy and headache free. They also where very attentive throughout stay and were available for inquiries. We had no issues, the home was very well prepped and maintained for our stay. Definitely will keep on our list for future stays and 100% recommend. Thank you to the owners. ##### Maggie C.
