About this property
FREE Heated Pool, 5BR Sleeps 10 | South Tampa, 15 Min to Airport
A 5-bedroom, 2-bath South Tampa home for up to 10, with a private heated pool in a fully fenced yard and pool heating included free. Tampa International Airport and downtown are each about 15 minutes, St. Pete Beach 25 and Busch Gardens 30.
The living room, dining area and kitchen share one open space, so whoever is cooking is still part of the conversation. An L-shaped couch faces the smart TV, and the dining table seats 8. Out back, a fully fenced yard holds the heated pool, a patio with seating and a gas grill, with room for lawn games.

Exceptional

The house is conveniently located. The interior and exterior and pool were spotless. There was a TV in every bedroom, which was great. No issues communicating with the host. Had a great time with the week we stayed.
The heated pool was great. We have a small dog that needs insulin 2 times a day so being able to bring her with is was a must. Thank You
