We had a wonderful stay! The place had a great cozy vibe and was spotless. The location was absolutely perfect for Gasparilla — we could easily enjoy the parade without any hassle. Everything was comfortable, clean, and exactly what we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location in a walkable neighborhood. Close restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. House is clean and kept in a great condition. Newly renovated backyard was perfect for kids to spend time outside. We have been coming here for years.

Thanks for the great review, Anthony! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at Bay to Bay Sanctuary and found the location great! We appreciate your loyalty over the years and look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
The Bay to Bay sanctuary was the perfect place for our recent visit to Tampa. It was clean, comfortably furnished, and nicely decorated. The neighborhood was quiet, walkable, and convenient to all of central Tampa. And the covered front porch was a nice spot for my wife and I to enjoy coffee each morning. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this wonderful spot again.

Thank you for your review Michael! So glad you enjoyed this home and location. It was pleasure hosting you again! We hope you come back again.
Wonderful home. All the amenities to make a great weekend. The landscaping in the backyard needs some TLC, really not usable in its current state. Otherwise, the home was well maintained and comfortable. I would choose this location again.

Hi Deanne! Thanks for staying with us and writing a review. Since the review, the backyard issues have been addressed. So glad to hear you had a relaxing weekend when you stayed! We hope to see you again!
This home is beyond cute, comfortable, and convenient. I was able to bike to and from work and to many local attractions. Walk to dinner. Neighborhood was quiet all thru my trip and never felt like it was unsafe. I will definitely try to stay here again when visiting the area for work or pleasure!!!

Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled you enjoyed the home. Its our goal to exceed your expectations and hope you do come back and visit again!
We had such a wonderful stay. The communication with the host was great and the house was exactly how it showed in the pictures. Loved drinking coffee on the porch, going for a run in the neighborhood or walking to grab a latte or dessert just a block from the house. The neighborhood is super quiet so that was a plus.
Thank you Kathie for providing us with a wonderful experience.

Thank you for your review Andrea! We are so happy you all loved the home. Please come back again!
We absolutely loved this house. The layout is awesome and very spacious. Everything is there that you'd need and the backyard is beautiful. We hung out on the front and back porch and loved walking to local shops and to get coffee. The master bed is very comfortable and so are the pillows. The bathroom is the perfect size and has lots of areas for makeup cases. The owner provides various soaps and lotion and great towels and wash rags. We will stay again when we're back in town.
