The house was perfect for our large family to stay for my sisters graduation weekend. I messaged the host ahead of time regarding the AC as other reviews mentioned it being an issue but all was fixed and cool throughout the weekend. The pool table was a plus and having all the baby needs. The only thing I wish VRBO would standardize is making 3 pm check in and 11 am check out the requirement. We paid for earlier check in but 4 pm check in and 10 am check out is less ideal. Overall, everything was great and would recommend!

This property is large and spacious. Back yard is HUGE. Close to major stores and restaurants. The only small concern that I brought to the host attention is that guest does not have access to the AC thermostat. The host was very responsive and addressed all my concerns

Convenient location

House and amenities were very nice. The location was conveniently located near the beach, and downtown. And not far from Tampa Bay either. It is right on the main road so noise from cars was common (only reason for 4 star on location.

We were in town for a swim meet in St. Petersburg and this location was perfect. Not too far from St. Petersburg downtown (20 min), and very convenient fun things like St. Pete Beach, and a sunset dolphin cruise from nearby Gulfport. Also, super convenient to not one, not two, but three grocery stores! Members of our group could easily walk there as they desired. Host Diana was very responsive, and the house is in nice condition. Would recommend and come back!
