Great stay

My husband and I stayed at the charming barn in Tampa for a long weekend. It was such a wonderful stay for the two of us. Close to Tampa where we spent time hiking, visited the beach, and we went on a wildlife kayak tour. The rest of the time we hung out in the yard of our stay. The pool was amazing and warm, our host was kind and welcoming and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely consider staying in the future.

Had a great time

We were staying a few days to see a concert and came upon this wonderful property when looking for a place to stay. It was very inviting and we felt so welcome and comfortable from the time we arrived. We had our own entrance to the property and there were a lot of fun little places to hang out. Highly reccomended and Daniele was super friendly and nice to talk with. Would definitely return if in the area again.

A Hidden Paradise – The Perfect Getaway!

From the moment I arrived, I knew I had found something truly special. This beautifully maintained cottage is nestled in the heart of a self-made paradise, where every little detail seems designed to bring peace and serenity. Surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and the soothing sounds of nature, it’s impossible not to feel completely relaxed.What truly sets this place apart, however, are the incredible hosts, Stefan and Abraham. They are the kindest, most welcoming people you could ever meet. Their warmth and generosity made me feel right at home, and they went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. Whether it was offering local tips, sharing a friendly chat, or simply making sure I had everything we needed, their hospitality was truly heartwarming.If you’re looking for a place to unwind, recharge, and feel genuinely cared for, this is it. A hidden gem that I can’t wait to return to!

Cool place!

We enjoyed the cute, cozy little barn, and the beautiful plants on the property. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and the owners were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again if we’re in the Tampa area. The location was central to everything you could want to see and do…Busch Gardens, the casino, fine dining, and shopping.

Relaxing Getaway

My daughter and I traveled down for the weekend to attend a concert. The property was in a quiet neighborhood with a reasonable commute to the venue. The barn was comfortable and well kept. The pool and garden were amazing. Stepping out the door to a butterfly garden added such a relaxing atmosphere. Stefan was an excellent host and it was enjoyable talking with him.

Wonderful Retreat

Wow, this property is amazing! What a great find. Me and a friend rented the little red barn for a weekend in Tampa and were blown away. The hosts, Stefan and Abraham, were so gracious and welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had everything needed for a wonderful stay. The barn was perfect for two and included use of the pool, hot tub, and outdoor bar area. The whole property is so thoughtfully designed and build it was like having our own private tropical resort. If you’re planning to stay in the greater Tampa area do yourself a favor and check this place out. I highly recommend it and will definitely visit again.

A very relaxing getaway!

This place was everything we hoped it would be and our host exceeded our expectations. Stefan couldn’t have been nicer. The little barn was clean and decorated nicely. It was very cozy and my wife and I were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower. The whole grounds were beautifully lit and landscaped. It was an oasis so close to the city. Historic Ybor City is nearby and we had a wonderful time exploring the area. We are extremely bummed we had to leave and can’t wait to visit again!!!

Little red barn

Our stay was great Stefan attended to all our needs. The little barn was really spacious inside, bed was comfortable, there was a little kitchen to make coffee, tea, toast, etc. The grill outside was really convenient also. The outside shower is so relaxing after a long day in the sun. Property was gorgeous with a butterfly garden right outside your door. Pool & jacuzzi are beautiful with a sound system right there if you want music on whole you swim. Would recommend to everyone will definitely stay again we loved it.
