Spacious Stay with rural feel but convenient

Stay was great for us. Beautiful courtyard space. Tons of space inside and out. Lots of outdoor space in a country feel with the convenience of being near everything in Tampa and Clearwater. Nice and quiet. Would've brought more of the family if I had known how big the place was. Hosts were friendly and helpful.

Wedding party

We had a wedding in a nearby venue and was looking for house for a large group. This VRBO worked out quite well. The property manager/assistant responded to texts within 10 minutes. Site was clean and easy to access. Accommodations were what we needed. We enjoyed our time on the property.
