Oscar, my host was very attentive to my needs and helping me when we first arrive with two trucks and trailers on how we could park then he assisted me because when we left after staying there for a week I left some stuff in the freezer that I really needed to get back and he coordinated it for me and had me come back to Tampa a couple days later and get it from the cleaning people which is amazing Thank you very much for a great stay

No Surprises! The house was exactly what was described in the listing. Very Clean and roomy for my party of 8. I did not have to contact the host for anything major, except for a loosen shower handle in one of the bathrooms. We came down for a trip to Busch Gardens, and we could literally see one of the rollercoasters from the living room window

We had a great stay at this home during our weekend trip to Busch Gardens. The location was incredibly convenient—just a short drive to the park, which made our days much easier. The house offered excellent value for the price, with plenty of space and all the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay.While the neighborhood wasn’t the most picturesque, the home itself felt safe. The cleanliness was generally good, though not spotless, and the beds were quite firm—something to keep in mind depending on your preference.Overall, we appreciated the affordability and proximity to local attractions. A solid option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly place near Busch Gardens.

This house worked great even for our large group and was very convenient to Busch Gardens which was our agenda. Everyone was able to shower and still have hot water. The kitchen was serviceable but small if we would have tried to cook a full meal for all 12.

Overall it’s a good place to stay. However the water pressure in both bathrooms and kitchen are not very good. I’d book here again and communication was good. We loved how roomy the house was and the bedrooms.

Disliked: Cleanliness, location
The location of the house was in an undesirable part of Tampa. Although the house was able to accommodate my family in terms of bedrooms and space for hanging out, the beds were extremely uncomfortable, the pillows and sheets were of very cheap and uncomfortable quality, the kitchen did not have everything we needed for cooking and cleaning, I.e. a sponge to wash the dishes, or a sheet pan. Additionally, the refrigerator and freezer had food items from the previous guests and the dishwasher had dishes still in it. The floors appeared clean, however all of our socks were black from dirt when we walked around with our shoes off.
