Communication was very prompt and positive. We loved the pool area and when there was no gas grill available, as seen in pictures and in the description, one was provided to us the next day. There were plenty of bath and pool towels, and the beds were very comfortable.

This home is fabulous. The location was quiet and was close to everything, including Busch Gardens and George Steinbrenner Stadium. The house is updated and had plenty of space for us and our pups. The fenced yard was great and we could let the pups run around. The check in and check out process was seamless and any requests were met so expeditiously. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone visiting the Tampa area.
