About this property
Ybor City Group Home — Game Room & Sleeps 12 | Tampa
Emperor Castle was built for groups. 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a dedicated game room give everyone space to spread out and something to do — whether you're pregaming before a night in Ybor City or staying in for a tournament on the pool table. Private off-street parking, a fully fenced yard, and a corner bakery steps from the front door round out everything a large group needs for a great Tampa trip.
This is the entire downstairs unit — private entry, private exit, and a private parking lot in the back. The upstairs unit is fully separate and completely independent from your space.
The Home
This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests. The open-concept layout connects the living area, kitchen, and dining space so the whole group stays together. The full kitchen features granite counters, modern appliances, a coffee maker, and complete cookware and utensils — everything you need to cook real meals for the group. The dining table seats 6, with additional breakfast bar seating. For mornings when nobody wants to cook, a neighborhood bakery is right on the corner.
Sleeping Arrangements
Bedroom 1: King bed + bunk bed — sleeps 4 | Smart TV | Blackout curtains
Bedroom 2: Queen bed + bunk bed — sleeps 4 | Smart TV | Blackout curtains
Bedroom 3: Additional sleeping for larger groups | Smart TV
All bedrooms include fresh linens and modern decor.
Bathroom 1: His-and-hers sinks + walk-in shower
Bathroom 2: Sink, vanity + shower/tub combo
Clean towels and toiletries provided.
The Game Room
A full-size pool table that converts to ping pong, a dartboard, and a PlayStation console. This is the room groups come back for — tournament nights, pregaming before Ybor, or just hanging out when you don't want to go anywhere.

Not fully satisfied with the cleanliness when you check in? Contact us immediately — we will reclean at no charge. That's the Emperor Rentals guarantee.

Why they chose this property
Emperor Castle is one of Tampa's top-rated group homes — and the game room alone is reason enough. A full-size pool table that converts to ping pong, darts, and a PlayStation console make this the kind of home groups come back to year after year.
Beyond the fun: private off-street parking for 3 vehicles, a fully fenced yard, pet-friendly policy, in-unit laundry, and a neighborhood bakery steps from the front door. Everything a group needs is already here.
