Trip to Tampa for Innings Music Festival

Had a great stay. There were 4 of us and we had plenty of room. Perfect location for our trip. The host was helpful, and provided really good suggestions for restaurants and other things to do. Would definitely stay again!

Long weekend

We enjoyed our stay, the property was easy to find and close to downtown Tampa. We enjoyed the porch swing and thought the beds were very comfortable. The property does need some water glasses, we could only find coffee mugs.

bungalow with character

I loved the character of this bungalow and the charm the original fixtures brought to this rental. Convenient location to travel back and forth to USF, Ybor City, Clearwater, etc. I have 2 recommendations: more kitchen housewares for cooking in; and install an adjustable arm in the shower for your taller guests.

I’ve the historical Tampa

Good location some difficulty due to road work in progress. Very clean, comfortable, the owners paid excellent attention to detail for 1920 decor. Convenient to downtown. Highly recommend this listing. I do suggest that 2nd bathroom be listed as tub only no shower. I really like the claw foot tub. I have been in similar historically correct location that had installed a shower to claw tub

We loved the bungalow! It was a quick and easy drive to the downtown area and the convention center. Everything was clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is quiet. I know some reviews mentioned not being sure about the neighborhood, but it is perfectly fine and very typical of the Tampa area. We didn’t have a single issue, and we always felt completely safe. We chose this place because we loved the vintage charm, and it did not disappoint. The master bathroom is particularly lovely. The house is spacious and well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. It has cute outdoor areas that we enjoyed and a wonderful porch swing. Honestly, my only note would be to switch the begging in the room with two beds back to something that better fits the older style of the house, like what was shown in the picture. We had a fantastic time, and we will definitely stay there again the next time we are in Tampa!

Not What we Expected

Surroundings were sketchy and property at time of check in was not too clean, dirty old carpets, bedding had a blood stain, dirty socks under master bed, flooring in bedrooms and dining area is old/hallow wooden floor some areas seem sunken and uneven. We pulled the sofa bed out to use and frame was broken; owner did not replied to messages and we had to file a claim for a refund. Our vacation was not enjoyed as expected had to find other accommodations; taken more money, time and precious memories from our vacation getaway. On top of it all the owner of this property filed a property damage claim blaming us for the already broken frame. Very unprofessional and unethical.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 May 2022
Bingo! I knew this is why the guest left, she didn’t like the neighborhood. But she knows she can’t get a refund for that, so instead she proceeds to pick apart everything in the house. I didn’t see her message that she sent on the vrbo app ( this is why I give all guests my cell since the notifications on the app are not reliable). As soon as she text me I responded immediately. She said she found stains on sheets, broken pull out couch, the floors were unsafe for her children and a sock under the bed. We came over and inspected the couch and saw that 2 brackets were broken which made it a lean slightly on one side. So since the bed was not 100% I told her would refund her the rest of the stay since they needed that bed for all the guests. A few hours later, my head cleaner told me that the couch was not broken when she cleaned it before this group, so they must have broken it and blamed it on us because again they wanted out because they didn’t like the neighborhood. So yes I made a claim on the insurance. This cleaner reports all damages to me even the smallest thing I know she would have noticed if the couch was broken. She also inspected the stain on the sheet and said it wasn’t there either when she made the beds. It was too big of a stain not to notice and we have lots of extra bedsheets why would she put that on the bed? I also knew they were just picking when she said the floors were unsafe for her kids, what a bunch of nonsense!!

Good value, very relaxing, enjoyed mornings and evenings on property porch.

This property was clean. quiet neighborhood, we felt very safe. Property owners have done a nice job mixing dated and updated conveniences. There were some short comings but nothing that took away from our stay or recommending to others.

Great House, Neighborhood not walkable

Expected the property to be close to Busch Gardens and it was about 12 minutes away by car. What we needed. Older home but very comfortable, owner communication very strong. For a quick stay it met our needs.

Horse show

We were in town for Southeast Medal Finals and chose this house because of the proximity to the show grounds. Less then a 15 minute drive. House was very clean and close to everything (restaurants, fast food, Starbucks and Dunkin) We would definitely stay again when in town.
