Wonderful stay!

Once again, we were back at our favorite Tampa spot and we can't recommend it highly enough. We were visiting to attend my niece's graduation from the Univ. of Tampa and so this location was absolutely perfect! The neighborhood is beautiful and there are so many great restaurants close by. We love that the owner always provides us w some great dining recommendations too. Much appreciated!!The highlight of the property has to be the terrific pool/hot tub--spacious and the perfect temp. The beautiful palm trees/landscaping surrounding the pool area creates a tropical oasis. His thoughtful design of the back yard -- the tables and umbrellas provides the perfect mix of sun/shade options. What truly sets this rental apart is the owner's exceptional responsiveness. Check in is a breeze and Randy's communication is prompt and helpful. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, he responded immediately and resolved everything efficiently. This level of attentiveness made our vacation stress-free. If you're looking for a Tampa getaway with a great location, outstanding amenities, and an owner who truly cares about ensuring guests have a wonderful eperience, look no further. We always wish we could stay longer!

Beautiful House

We were in town for a cheer competition and was a perfect mini vaca. The fridge was stocked with some water, and condiments. There was also paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods, shampoo and conditioner, and a coffee machine with plenty of KCups to choose from. It was a nice touch as we didn't have to spend additional money on these! The pool was amazing with plenty of pool toys for the kiddos. Washer and dryer worked great as well. Would highly recommend.

Paradise Pool

The pool area is a little slice of paradise. Beautiful and well taken care of. There are even towels and pool toys. The house is clean. The host is kind. The city has lots of great places to explore. St. Pete beach was just over a half hour drive and was absolutely beautiful. Clearwater beach is just a few minutes further. Our favorite dining ambiance was the Oxford Exchange or Oak and Ola. Favorite wood fired pizza was Fabrica Pizza. Favorite ice cream was Jeni’s. Lots to enjoy!

March Stay at San Juan

Our experience at Randy's place was truly exceptional. Nestled in a welcoming neighborhood with excellent walkability, the location couldn't be more convenient, just a short 15-minute drive to almost any destination. The house itself was thoughtfully equipped with all the necessary amenities and boasted numerous smart features. What impressed us most was the ability to regulate the pool's temperature to our liking—a rarity in rental properties where the pool heaters are often insufficiently set and inaccessible. This added feature was a game-changer for us. Randy's home exudes luxury with its comprehensive array of modern conveniences, instantly making us feel right at home upon arrival.

Fantastic location in Tampa

The property was perfect for our weekend stay in Tampa. The neighborhood was great, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the outdoor enclosed backyard felt tropical and secluded from neighbors. The hot tub and pool were warm and the outdoor seating was comfortable. The kitchen and living room were comfortable for our group and the kitchen was well stocked. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The house was perfect!

Perfect tropical house that was situated just right near everything.The house had everything we needed: dishwasher, clothes washer & dryer, stove, oven, microwave, full refrigerator & also a wine refrigerator. Property and house are very clean and in great shape. You can tell someone put a lot of thought into the flow of the house, including the outside sitting area & pool and hot tub.The kitchen is large and lots of counter space. The kitchen is fully equipped with all sorts of cooking and baking house-wares.The beds were so comfortable and clean. Exceeded expectations. Definitely recommended for a couple looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway. Lovely hosts and beautiful property. Thank you!

When can we go back??

Wow, this home was so awesome and was in a beautiful, safe neighborhood - we hated to leave and would love to plan a return trip! The home was even nicer than the pictures and had all the amenities you could need. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were very comfortable, showers were great, plenty of soft towels, and a very nice layout in the kitchen/living area which was nice for the family to hang out. Oh and the pool - such a tropical oasis! Pool and hot tub temperatures were perfect and there were lots of rafts to use and plenty of seating around the pool. The home was very clean and nicely decorated. Randy was an excellent communicator; great instructions before we arrived and we never had a single issue during our stay which was great. Can’t say enough about this awesome property… Randy, thank you so much for making our home away from home absolutely perfect!

Spectacular !

We came to Tampa for a family get together. The house is truly a "Tropical Paradise" in a great neighborhood. The property is beyond beautiful and we couldn't of been more pleased. Randy was a more than great host and showed his dedication to making our stay wonderful. The house, neighborhood and convenience to all Tampa has to offer is far beyond 5 stars. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer.

Poolside Oasis

Property is located in prime walkable South Tampa neighborhood, close to great restaurants, shopping and Bayside Boulevard. Pool was a private haven, with plenty of clean towels. Home has open plan, was very clean and bedding is comfortable. Randy is a conscientious and responsive host. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend.
