A great place to stay. The property was absolutely spotless. It felt like it had been very recently renovated with brand new TVs & appliances throughout the home. The A/C was great and will get you through those hot Tampa summers. Incredibly close to Busch Gardens. Simple check in & check out. Dana, the host, is a great communicator.

Very clean and well taken care of and had everything we needed, including coffee. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable, I cannot speak to the other bed because we did not use that room. We were centrally located close to everywhere we needed to be for the visit. The neighborhood is a bit run down, all neighbors we interacted with seemed very friendly.

We spent a week and a day here. Our host was very helpful; sending information ahead of time and also being very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. It was our “home base” while we did site seeing and also attended a couple spring training games during our stay. The house was more than spacious enough for the two of us, and even fine for accommodating a couple friends who stopped by while we were there. It was very clean and had all the basic needs of “home”. We cooked in several evenings and the kitchen had all the cooking and dining utensils needed. Overall, it was a great experience and we would rent this property again!

Comfortable and affordable

This is a great little townhouse very near Moffitt Cancer Center where my wife had a week of treatments. Rather than Drive every day from Ocala, we stayed here. It was very comfortable and affordable. It was less money than we would have paid for a motel nearby. Strongly recommend.

Location was convenient for us - neighborhood so so. Inside looked as it was presented but lr furniture was so so - not comfortable enough to sit and visit for a while. Adequate for the price. Minor improvements needed were mentioned directly to the owner. This old girl - me - didn't like tv access, so I depended on my phone for tv watching.

Hi Paulette, Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Yes, we do have some constructed in the area as Busch Garden and the city continue to rebuild from the storm. Yes, we do have some modern touches which includes our Fire Stick tv set up allowing guest to watch tons of shows. Our couch allows guest to extend to a bed. Apologize for the toilet paper holder not working properly, we were able to replace that small issue and everything is working fine. We appreciate you joining us. Come back anytime to our family friendly community.

The community is family-oriented, which was perfect for us. The home is less than 5 minutes from Busch Gardens. Don't be surprised if you hear the roller coaster if you are standing outside. The home is centrally location is perfect and we are excited about the continued growth in Tampa.
