About this property
Heated Pool, 5BR Sleeps 14, Game Table | 15 Min to Busch Gardens, Tampa
A 5-bedroom, 2-bath North Tampa home for up to 14 guests with a private heated pool, 15 minutes from Busch Gardens. Five bedrooms, a pool/ping-pong table and an 8-seat table make it a fit for reunions, theme-park weeks and multi-family trips.
The whole group lands in one open room. An L-shaped couch and smart TV sit on one side, the 8-seat dining table and kitchen on the other, with the pool/ping-pong table beside them. Out back, a screened porch looks over a heated pool in a fully fenced yard, so adults can talk while the kids swim.
BEDROOMS & BATHS (5 BR / 2 BA) ★ Bedroom 1: king bed, ceiling fan and mirrored closet ★ Bedroom 2: king bed plus a twin-over-full bunk bed, mounted TV ★ Bedroom 3: queen bed plus two twin-over-full bunk beds ★ Bedroom 4: queen bed plus a twin-over-full bunk bed ★ Bedroom 5: twin-over-full bunk bed, mounted TV Sleeping math: 2 kings, 2 queens and 5 twin-over-full bunks, with the home capped at 14 guests. 2 full baths for up to 14 guests: one has double sinks and a tub-and-shower combo, the other a walk-in shower. Bigger groups should plan showers in shifts. Full-size washer and dryer in the laundry room.
KITCHEN & DINING ★ Full kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle and toaster, plus pots, pans, baking sheets and grill tools ★ Dining table seats 8, open to both the kitchen and the living room ★ Spices, pantry basics and wine glasses are stocked
OUTSIDE ★ Private heated pool, 4 ft deep and kid-friendly; pool heat is a paid add-on (see Other things to note) ★ Fully fenced backyard, so kids can run while you watch from the porch ★ Screened porch with seating, plus an electric grill ★ Driveway with room for 4 cars ★ Exterior security cameras monitored by our team
GAME ROOM & EXTRAS ★ Pool table that converts to ping pong, right beside the dining area ★ Smart TV in the living room, mounted TVs in bedrooms 2 and 5 ★ Wi-Fi at 500+ Mbps ★ Dogs welcome, up to 3, with a pet fee

What a great VRBO experience! The owners really made this trip easy. From coffee and cream at the ready to a home that was as nice as the pictures. Thank you for a wonderful couple of days. A little swimming in the heated pool, a couple games of pool and such a clean home that allows pets but you would never know.
