Dani and Taco were wonderful hosts, they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. The back yard was wonderful for my toddler grandson. There was a pool and dock on site. The place was clean. The neighborhood was safe. I would definitely stay there again. Suzanne

Thank you, Sue. We work hard to make sure our guests feel like they’re in a home away from home, safe, comfortable, and welcomed. We truly appreciate your kind feedback and look forward to seeing you and your beautiful family again in Tampa.
Deni was very helpful. The home was in a quiet and beautiful location. It was very comfortable and relaxing. Pool and backyard were amazing but it was too cold to swim.

Loved my stay here. Host was very friendly and hospitable. Everything was clean and the backyard was awesome. Would definitely return in the future.
She was very welcoming! First impressions of the outdoors of the property wasn’t impressive. Too bad she couldn’t have a fence between next door neighbors and hers… an out of commission dryer was beside her house. Sounds like she plans to do some outdoor work around the house which would be great. House was clean and comfortable.

Thank you for your review, however, I do want to share that I was disappointed to see a lower score given due to the work being done around the property, especially since it is clearly stated in our listing that there is ongoing construction as we recover from the significant impact of the last two hurricanes. Therefore I do feel that your review was unfair.
We truly do our best to keep any work as discreet as possible for our guests, though there are limits to what we can control. Because we were communicating consistently throughout your stay, I was under the impression that there were no concerns at the time.
Regarding the neighbor, I completely understand how that could feel inconvenient. While we are not affiliated with his lifestyle choices (420), we unfortunately cannot dictate how others choose to live. He is a great human being and that is what matters to us. We have considered installing a fence for additional privacy; however, because we are located on the river and share a boat ramp access point, that some guests use, that option presents some challenges. That said, we will continue to evaluate ways to improve our guests’ experience.
I also want to sincerely thank you for the rose you left, the pics and the beautiful message in our guest book. That gesture meant a great deal to me.
Wishing you all the best.
Warmly,
Deni
Quiet neighborhood stay, easy access, clean, not far from the beaches and Tampa city. Airport is approx 15 mins away.

Hey Bill. I wanted to thank you for the kind comments and you wanting to change my review to 5 stars, because you hit 4 by mistake. Unfortunately for the host, the guest cannot change the rating once submitted. It’s unfortunate and I do appreciate you trying, however this is Vrbo’s policy. I am glad you guys had a great time and hope to see you again in Tampa soon. Take care. God bless. Thanks again. Deni

Stephen and his son are the perfect guests. Very neat, clean and respectful. We are honored they found their new home away from home. They are always welcome to come anytime. We look forward to their future visits. As far as we are concerned, they get a “10” star rating as guests. 😊
My boyfriend and I had a great vacation staying at Daineli’s place. It was clean and had everything we needed for the week. Beautiful backyard with a pool and right on the water. Daineli also made accommodations for us and allowed early check in when our flight arrived early. Would definitely stay again!

We arrived a week after hurricane. Our hosts were able to get our unit cleaned up and repaired for us. Its a great unit. Perfect for my son and I. Really nice neighborhood and great location for getting to all the tourist locations. Will certainly stay again.
Place is clean, organized, and very comfortable. Deni and Taco were such accommodating hosts. Beds were comfortable, shower hot, laundry on site is a plus. Backyard relaxing and the pool was beautiful. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back to Tampa. Thank you both.
This was my first Vrbo rental. It exceeded my expectations! I communicated multiple times with Daineli who was always kind. When I travel back to the area, I will definitely book this property! Thank you Daineli!
We had a wonderful time. The space is private & the hosts were wonderful/available. Liked having a kitchen for doing some cooking. Beds comfortable! Had a dedicated space for parking the car. The backyard space is amazing!! Covered pavilion, pool with beautiful lighting at night. Close to many things in Tampa. Will definitely return when in Tampa & available.
