Perfect for pets and peace
As a former Tampa resident I know Seminole Heights can be hit or miss but this area is precious and perfect. 2 minute drive to Publix, easy access to the interstates, friendly neighbors always walking and waving, and a big yard for the pup. The house is well stocked and smells lovely! The team was very communicative and responsive about a couple suggestions for future. Appreciated the minis of toiletries, laundry soap, and dish soap that were enough to last me a few days and not have to buy full sizes for a short stay. Will definitely stay here again!

Comfortable and convenient location
Property is in a lovely neighborhood, old Tampa with all the houses renovated. Lovely to walk around, with beautiful old trees, birds everywhere and it’s safe. The house is comfortable with everything you could need. House is very clean, living room is comfortable, beds are comfy. We had 2 dogs and the back yard was perfect for them to run around. We accidentally locked ourselves out and Jared was VERY responsive, getting to the house to let us in within 15 mins. Have always stayed in hotels when we come to FL, we’ll definitely stay here in the future.

Beautiful Home
We were here for two nights for an event, looking for a quiet pet-friendly home in a safe neighborhood. Not only did this place check those boxes, but it was also beautifully decorated/themed and had a large yard with a pretty fountain and hedges. Prompt easy communication with management as well.

Great Bungalow in Old Seminole Heights
We wanted a place to stay in Tampa that was near family in Seminole Heights that was pet friendly. This home was perfect. Lots of friendly neighbors and pets. We walked a lot and found the neighborhood safe with a small lake nearby with friendly ducks and water fowl. An added bonus was the Christmas Lights that beautifully decorated the neighborhood. The home was clean with adequate amenities and a beautiful back yard. The bed was really large and comfortable. A really nice Christmas vacation spot!
