This property needs improvements! It was not clean. Buckling tile that was mentioned he would fix in a previous review one year ago. Never repaired. Wish I could post pix! Location is great for Busch gardens but the neighborhood is seedy at best. The home has had some repairs done. Some ok some not so much. I would have rated ok if it weren’t for the roach poop in the kitchen drawers. If it were 100 per night might be worth it. I’d not stay again. It’s a shame because the host is pleasant to communicate with. Very poor quality workmanship.

House was super clean, host very friendly and attentive, fast answering. Very smooth check in, easy instructions. Some of the reviews do talk about the neighborhood but in my opinion it wasn’t bad at all and I did not feel unsafe at any point, you can see people around the street, houses with their lights on etc.

Amazing host/Comfy beds

John was amazing the best host I’ve ever dealt with, if I ever come back to Tampa i definitely will rent w him, he was very helpful, kind, quick response and all around great person. The beds were very comfortable and we are very picky about our beds. The neighborhood wasn’t the greatest but never felt uncomfortable, especially w locked fence yard. Thank you John for being an amazing host and going out of your way to make us feel comfortable A+++

You are among the best guests we've ever had. You also were kind and understanding during Hurricane Milton when it disrupted everyone's plans.

Host was very good at giving all the required information. The house cute, the neighborhood not so much. The place was clean but the bathroom grout was old and black. There were loose floor tiles in master and the bath. No dishwasher is a turn off. We boiled water to wash before we used dishes That being said we only stayed 1 night after a concert.

Hi Barbara, thank you for your feedback and for letting us know what you experienced. I’m glad the check‑in information was helpful and that you found the house cute, and I’m sorry the neighborhood and some aspects of the home didn’t meet your expectations. We take the items you mentioned seriously. Our team follows a strict cleaning checklist before every guest, but we hear you about the bathroom grout and the loose tiles. We did replace the bathroom grout before our next guests. We will fix the loose tiles in the next few days. The listing does not include a dishwasher, and we’ll make that clearer in the listing description and photos, so future guests aren’t surprised. Thank you again for staying with us. John

Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
The interior of the property is exactly as depicted, it is bright and clean, however there is nothing family friendly about this location. The area is extremely crime ridden and unsafe. If you've seen the move Friday ... Like that but worse. You will hear groups of people walking down the road talking loudly about you & your vehicles & guests. Unsafe.

Thank you for your review. As you pointed out the listing is accurate and we appreciate your honesty there. The 1 star does not however reflect the listing but your opinion about the surroundings and the safety of the listing, the latter of which we disagree with, as previous reviews attest. If the listing were as you depicted it, we would not receive many excellent reviews. The only safety issues we have ever had were because guests threw a party at our listing, violating our house rules, not due to external factors, which we do not control anyways. We continue to assess how to improve the listing and will take your feedback into consideration. Thank you again for choosing to book with us. John

Host was was easy to contact and quick to respond. The pictures of the property was very deceiving. The property didn't seem safe. There was a terrible smell throughout the house. This house needs a lot of updating. It wasn't clean. The bed was hard as a rock. We didn't stay the second night that was booked.

Hello Summer, I’m sorry your stay didn’t meet your expectations—especially around the smell, feeling unsafe, and the bed comfort. We take these concerns seriously. For transparency, our team follows a strict cleaning checklist before every guest and the home was cleaned prior to your arrival. Our listing photos accurately reflect the space as it is and are kept up to date. After your stay we completed a professional deep clean and odor treatment, made additional ambiance improvements. We’re also planning cosmetic updates to address the items you mentioned. Thank you again for staying with us. John

The place was great!! The space was huge!! Plenty of room to move around and it even had a washer and dryer for us to use. I will 100% stay here again when I’m in Tampa. Host was helpful and communicated everything we needed to know. Don’t have any reservations if you are thinking about staying here. Great choice!

We are surprised by such a low rating, which suggests something out of our control affected your stay. We have the listing cleaned and ready for all our guests, and while we don't get things right 100% of the time, we cannot understand why you gave us the lowest rating. Kindly give us a private feedback as we always do our best to improve. Thank you again for staying with us.
