About this property

The Great Escape 3BR 2B Entire house

A 20 min drive from the Tampa international airport this is our quaint newly renovated vacation home, in South Tampa. A 20 minute drive from Tropicana Fields and the Amalie Arena, in addition to the Tampa Zoo and aquarium. Honestly it’s a great location to get to almost anything fun in the Tampa area! And if you want to just stay in we set up a backyard oasis with a pool/hot tub spa combo surrounded by a cozy shaded relaxing patio. Paradise is right around the corner in our Great Escape!

Great place that met all of our needs! We came to town to move our daughter into u if Tampa - great location from airport to city and everything in between. Neighborhood itself is dated and is the nicest house on the street - but in general felt safe and would return.

Great stay

Beautiful home that is well taken care of. The owners have done a great job of making the place a home away from home. Very clean and comfortable. The check-in process was a breeze, even accommodating us for a last minute extra night. The location is super convenient for city exploration. Can't wait for our next stay there!

Amazing First Time Visit to Tampa

We totally enjoyed our time at this property. The location was convenient to the places we wanted to visit, or we could just stay in and enjoy the backyard Oasis. The decor and furnishings were lovely and well thought out and everything was nice and clean.

Perfect home for a family of 4 while visiting the Tampa Area

We had an awesome time visiting spring trainings, beaches and just seeing everything the Tampa/St Pete Area has to offer. At the end of a long day it was always great to know we were heading back to such a nice home filled with so many amenities. The beds were very comfortable, the open kitchen/living room area was great, and the hot tub was fantastic.

What an amazing stay. From beginning to end we kept finding extra little touches. The pictures and description do not do this treasure justice. I’ve had the privilege of staying at quite a few vrbos and this was hands down one of the best places ever. THANK YOU for being amazing hosts who really care about the experience for your guests. We hope to be back!

Best sleep away home EVER!

Everything was perfect! Fast communication, great location, easy check in, very clean! We would definitely stay here again. We got the City Pass for Tampa and went to Bush Gardens, Tampa Zoo (from the Animal Planet series: Secrets of the Zoo) and the Florida Aquarium in downtown Tampa. All attractions 25 minutes or less. Wonderful bed and pillows! I always look for reviews that include bedding and this one knocked it out of the park!

Perfect with all the needs for our stay!

Perfect size for our family of 5 for a quick trip to Tampa. Quick drive from the airport. Had everything we needed for a day trip to Clearwater Beach. Stocked Keurig k-cups were a huge bonus since we arrived late and couldn't make it to the grocery store. The house had everything we needed and was very clean, organized, and stocked. The neighborhood was very quiet. Would highly recommend!

Wow! All we know is that this property has set the bar very high for any future rentals by us! EVERYTHING you could possibly think of was supplied for our stay (and we VRBO a lot). Having lived in TPA for 6 years, we were thrilled to be near Hula Bay and picnic park. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Awesome house!

This place had everything you can think of! We loved the hot tub and the back patio. The layout of the house is perfect. The only improvement I would suggest is maybe a Murphy bed, futon, or inflatable sofa bed in the office instead of the small foldout bed that’s there. But other than that, this is one of the best rentals I’ve stayed in.

From the very 1st communication with the property owners I was very pleased with our choice. They were freindly and helpful. Once we got to the home we were blown away with the hospitality and the attention to detail at this home. It truly felt like home away from home. We didnt want to leave..LOL!

We really enjoyed our stay! The beds were SUPER comfortable, which is odd for most rentals. The house had a lot of special touches and things that made our stay even easier than excepted. The hot tub area was a little dirty but the hot tub after being a tourist all day was perfect for relaxing our sore feet and backs. The location was good for the places we visited.
