The host was very friendly and the house was very clean. The only issue we had was a miscommunication we were told there was a house inspection on Friday and we needed to be out of the house from 10am-1pm but the inspection was actually on Saturday so we woke up with people surrounding the house on Saturday and had to rush out of the house. Other than that our stay was great and the host was great.

Hi Brayden. It is very unfortunate that you took your time to write a negative response but you neglected the fact that I was kind enough to let you check in 6 hours Earlier. I accommodated you so much, I even allowed extra use of extra bedroom for your party, not to mention you were 40 minutes tardy in your check out and you left the house quite a mess and did not do not even one single item on my check out list. Folks beware. People who complain are usually the ones who creates issues. The inspector arrived at 10 am, and no he did not go inside until I came to communicate with you in which then we realized the day was not the correct one, however I did come by and you said you were okay with the matter.

Very clean. Water pressure in the shower was poor. For me this very important to have a good shower not from dripping water shower. The water was not hot enough. ( cold weather).No washing machine or dryer. No oven. The location is very good close to everything. On the 275 freeway, a-bit noisy.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Mar 2026
Hello Offer, thank you for your stay. The Tampa Bay is facing a severe drought which is affecting the city of Tampa. Unfortunately this natural phenomena affects water pressure, but it was absolutely not “dripping” I have videos to prove. It was quite high, matter of fact, to accommodate you I came and changed the shower head and you stated that it was great after the change. I have conducted a claim with the city and they said the water pressure is not poor, It is statewide average. Perhaps it is incomparable to your country standards. The temperature was set by an electrician which stated a very hot shower would be an hazard to babies, even so, if you had notified me, it could’ve been modified to you, however you didn’t mention at all. The home is a vacation home and I have a mini stove but not a full stove. We do not offer at this time the washer and dryer, and perhaps you should’ve read the information on my ad before you booked so you would’ve been informed prior to your booking. It is important that the guest do their due diligence so they don’t feel surprised and then complain. The home is priced accordingly and it’s extremely affordable for the location which is absolutely convenient and central !

About the host

Hosted by Lily Schreiber

Host profile image
Hello!
My name is Lily, I am originally from Brazil and I enjoy traveling. My passion for hosting started on my international travels and quest for comfort just like my own home!

Why they chose this property

I have put a lot of love and style into the Tampa Bungalow! Precisely picked all wall art, and sheets. It is truly comfy and it will feel like at home. I have been in several rentals which they did not provide comfort, rather feels like you're in a bunker! Not here! You will be happy to be centrally located (<3 Mi) to most fun places to visit such as: Downtown Tampa, Amalie arena, Riverwalk, Armature works, Univ. Of Tampa, Soho, Bayshore, Midtown, RayJames Stadium, International Mall, Tampa Airport. Fabulous restaurants such as Ocean Prime, Columbia, Capital Grille. Additionally, right by major highways (2745, I4), fast drive to beaches, Busch Gardens or Beaches. Catch one of the bikes from the house and ride all the way to riverwalk! This property has everything you and your family is searching for! Comfort, value and Fun!!!

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of the bungalow is certainly the location and comfort inside! I put a lot of love into details and assurance of a nice nights sleep! Master bedroom Bose surround sound system, also curtains are full blackout making it very cozy and quiet for a good sleep, also lots of closet storage. Kitchen area also has air-fryer for healthy meals, Nutribullet for your protein shakes, tea pot, PLENTY of condiment and spices!. House has board games, outdoor games, beach towels, Iron & board, plenty of places to put your clothes and travel bags such as fold tables and benches, extra kitchenware, and other items such as Aloe, sunscreen, etc.. I also provide bicycles in case you are feeling adventurous and ride to armature works, bayshore or the riverwalk!
