Wow, this property is amazing. I was tasked with finding a place for my group of old military dudes guys trip. The guys could not believe it. In fact we are planning another trip at this same location in the near future. Plenty of space, and so much to do. Loved the tiki hut, and pool and hot tub. The media room was the star of the show, with its 85" TV and sound system plus pool table and game console. Thanks Jen Henry for sharing your beautiful home.

Great return stay with thoughtful touches! We truly enjoyed our return stay and were grateful for how accommodating and flexible our host Jennifer was throughout our visit. It was special to come back and create new family memories in a place that already felt familiar and welcoming. As pet lovers, we specially appreciated the many dog-friendly details around the home-it was clear it was thoughtfully designed with pets in mind, which made our stay even more enjoyable.The property met our needs once again. There were a few housekeeping areas that could be improved, and it wad evident our host was already in the process of addressing them, which we appreciated! We will gladly return for a future stay

This place was amazing - we didn't want to leave. Everyone thanked me for finding it. It is truly an Oasis - the backyard and pool are stunning. We were a group of 12 staying there to attend the Patriots/Bucs game (and yes, Pats won!) and there was plenty of room for everyone. Our host Jen was amazing! She was very responsive to any questions/needs we had and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. I have already recommended the house to friends and would definitely go back.

Great escape

The family couldn’t stop commenting on how perfect and wonderful the place was. Other than golfing there was no need to go anywhere else. The pool area was perfect for fun and much needed relaxation. We would definitely stay again!

The Grotto

The house is very nice. The backyard/pool area is outstanding. The best outdoor living space that we have stayed in for Spring Break. Private area, but close enough to things that you can get to everything quickly. Highly recommend.

Amazing Home

We had an amazing stay! The house was stocked with everything we could have needed. The yard was our favorite part of the house. We spent almost the entire time outside playing the various of games that were provided for us at the house. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to enjoy some outside time while on vacation.

Go to the Grotto!

The home and its many outdoor features (outdoor bar/lounges, grotto, lazy river, hot tub, basketball court, tree-lined acreage, etc.) along with plenty of indoor areas for gathering, game playing, etc., offered many options for both a fun-filled vacation getaway. The hosts were exactly what VRBO renters desire: great communication as well as a comfortable, well-appointed home.

Great home

This was a great property. The backyard is of course the main draw, as it should be for anyone getting getting away from colder temperatures trying to enjoy a little r&r. The house itself was also wonderful and was perfect spot for our golf trip. Lots of space and plenty to do. Would stay here again.

We loved our stay. Lots of space, the pool area is amazing as described. Not too far of a drive to Downtown Tampa, but has the feeling of being far away from the city. Jennifer is great with communication. You will not be disappointed
