Spacious in a quiet but well connected neighborhood; great backyard; fully stocked; and very responsive owner. Would recommend highly to anyone and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Amazing...This property is a unique hideaway that sits in the heart of Tampa's beautiful scenery. From a short walk to the Bayshore's ocean view to short drives to the beaches and shopping district. This property is definitely a hidden jewel.
Great Home Close to Everything S. Tampa has to Offer
This is our second time staying here. A very comfortable house that provided everything we were looking for - during our extended stay. Great location. Gwen was wonderful with any communication that was needed (minor questions) I feel like we became friends during this visit. Would stay here again!
Everything was clean and questions were answered quickly. Thanks for a great place to stay for my sister’s wedding. Loved that we were so close to the water.
Quiet neighborhood, great location for Phillies spring training games. Home was clean and comfortable. Would stay again. Gwen was very helpful and responsive with any questions.
Nice central location near McDill AFB but very quiet. Close to all Tampa tourist attractions. House was clean, quite well stocked and set up well for our 2 week stay. Property manager was easy to work with and responsive through VRBO e-mails.

Thank you so much for staying at my house! You were a terrific guest, helpful and communicative. Glad you enjoyed your stay in Tampa!
Great location for us House was very comfortable. The air conditioner was superb. It was very hot weather while we were there! Good communication with the owner. The house was neat and clean!
We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms had body wash, shampoo and conditioner. This was a nice bonus, since we traveled with personal item- sized bags. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood, perfect for evening walks. The patio in back was nice for having morning or evening drinks. Host was quick to respond to questions.
We attended a music festival in the area. Gwen was very easy to deal with and the house was clean and the listing was accurate. We enjoyed our stay and would book again if in the area.

Hi John, thank you so much! You guys were fantastic guests! Thanks again for your stay!
To be honest we basically just used the house as a place to shower and sleep. We didn't hang out there much at all. However, getting to downtown Tampa and to the airport were both really easy and there were plenty of amenities close.
Beautiful home easy to get to, to visit with family
We were very happy with this home. I cook a lot and would have appreciated more pots and pans and assorted dishes.
Very comfortable clean and tastefully decorated. Will defiantly return.
A pool would be a great addition

Thanks William and Susan, it was a pleasure being your host! I will do my best to get more kitchen equipments. I am agree a pool will be awesome, but it will have to wait a little bit!
Cleaning process between guests was obviously rushed. Mattress pads were soiled and obviously not washed between guests. There was still a cork left on the corkscrew, food particles on the utensils, spills on the kitchen floor. Things that make you question how much cleaning actually occurred. I did ask the property manager for an earlier departure (personal reasons, not dissatisfaction with the property) than planned and she did agree and refunded me so I appreciated that. I did not complain to the property manager and maybe I should have.

Sorry to know that the house was not clean as your standards. We have multiple sets of pads, sheets, towels always clean and sanitized. I been working with the same crew for over a year and never had complained. I will appreciate it if you communicate your concerns because are things that can be resolved, sending them back and cleaning the property again. I understand your situation and the early cancelation, because We are humans and things can happen to anyone! Regards Gwen!
The pictures on the website make this place look really great, but they are deceiving. The nice furnishings and bedding in the pictures are just not there. The yard looks atrocious. It is clear that nothing is being done to maintain it. A new cleaning lady is definitely in order. I think she makes it smell good in there but doesn't actually clean anything. Additionally, this property has way too many things that are falling apart, broken, don't function, or damaged. The lack of communication with the owner when we wanted to check in was unacceptable. We were lucky to gain access because the cleaning lady was still there when we arrived at 3pm. We had still not heard from the owner with the key code. When we got into the property, the thermostat was at 84 and the heat was on. It took 24 hours for that place to cool down. There were 3 adults in our party, and we were supplied with 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels. The king bed had a fitted sheet, but no flat/top sheet. I am pretty certain the sheets on the queen bed were not clean. BEWARE! P.S. There is not an icemaker.
Gwen was great! The communication with Gwen was excellent which directly reflected onto my stay. Going TDY? 4 minutes from SOCOM/SOCCENT. No gate traffic drama, drama free stay all around. Thank you Gwen
