Adorable property and helpful, communicative host! It was just my husband and I, but this house would be great for a family too. Perfect location for us for the ReliaQuest Bowl at Raymond James. House is in a darling, quiet neighborhood we enjoyed for morning walks. It is well stocked with tons of dishes, towels, and coffee pods! We only used the primary bedroom but the bed and pillows were super comfy. House is very clean and comfortable. It was too chilly during our stay to use the pool but the backyard is super cute. This was our third trip to the Outback/ReliaQuest Bowl- on other trips we have stayed out in Clearwater or downtown. This location is so easy for getting to and from RayJay so will definitely return next time!

Excellent Home and Location!

Our stay was amazing! The house was extremely comfortable, renovated, and the private yard was extraordinary. There was plenty of space for our family of four and the location being so close to the airport and downtown Tampa was great. Highly recommend and will certainly stay here again when returning to the Tampa area!
