The house was gorgeous in a nice quiet area, it felt secluded and quiet even though it was actually so close to so many things, including Busch Gardens. Didn't bring my dog this time, but definitely will next time as I would absolutely stay here again the next time I need to stay in Tampa.

When we arrived, we were stunned at how beautiful and clean the home was. It is exactly how it is pictured in the listing, and the hosts really did think of anything that could be needed and had it ready and available. Checking in and out was a breeze, I cannot recommend this stay enough, and I would be so pleased if I was able to stay here again in the future.

Not a vacation stay

We selected this home based on the location to Moffitt Cancer Center and the ability to bring our dogs. The inside was very clean and nicely decorated. I did end up needing to purchase a can opener (the 2 there were both broken) and a cutting board along with a couple of cereal bowls (only 2 were on premise). That was really no big deal but was worth noting. The outside was a different situation. There were numerous items left scattered about (bug spray containers, etc.) Also, the lawn was in desperate need to be mowed so picking up after our dogs was challenging. During the overnight hours on one of the nights there, loud music was playing for about an hour appearing to come from a street over. Overall this location was very convenient and we were grateful to have our dogs there with us during our stay for my husbands treatment.

About the host

Hosted by Lesly Rodriguez

Host profile image
We’re passionate travelers who enjoy exploring everything from beaches to mountain trails, but Tampa has been our home for over 15 years. We take pride in providing a comfortable, welcoming space for our guests—whether you’re here for family fun, business, or medical travel. Our goal is to make sure you feel cared for and truly at home during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Our home is in one of Tampa’s older, authentic neighborhoods, full of character and history. It has an urban feel—what we like to call “so Tampa”—with a mix of families, longtime residents, and everyday city life.

What makes this property unique

When you stay at our 1920s historic bungalow, you’re not just booking a place to sleep—you’re stepping into a home with a story. This house has stood for nearly a century, holding onto the craftsmanship and charm of old Tampa while embracing the comforts of modern living.

One of the first things you’ll notice when you arrive are the majestic grand oak trees shading the property. They were one of the main reasons we fell in love with this home. Their wide branches and timeless presence create a sense of peace, history, and connection to nature that’s rare to find so close to the city. Sitting beneath them on the porch or looking out the window, you can feel the quiet beauty they bring to the whole experience.
