The property is big enough to host a big family (14 people). The house is well equipped and has written instructions and labels to help you navegate the house. The one bedroom apartment & laundry room needs a little refresh & remodel! Pets are allowed!
The house was perfect for half the team to stay at, it cut down on travel expenses for us all. Just wish the weather was better so we could have utilized the pool too!

Thank you for taking the time to give a 5-star review to our Family Getaway home in Tampa. We would welcome you back anytime!
I have a family of 14 and our stay in this home was Wonderful. We had plenty of space and room to move about. The kids loved the pool and made use of the pool toys that were provided . The home was stocked for you to enjoy your stay. It's location was great close to Restaurants and Grocery stores. We went to the Raymond James Stadium for a Savanah Banana Game and it was only 20 mins for the home. As we were packing up to leave my Grandson asked when we could come back. Would Definitely book again.

The communication from property manager was excellent. The instructions for check-in/check out were easy to follow. The location is central to a lot. The kitchen was amazing. We didn’t spend much time in the residence so it was fine for our golf trip. The pool was clean as well, though we didn’t use it.On the downside…The pictures (of the bathrooms) were deceptive. The WiFi and phone reception in the area was not good. The mainn tv was small and the tv’s in the bedrooms didn’t connect to the internet and were rendered useless. The bathrooms need to be updated. This would be a great rental for younger 20 something’s or for a family that doesn’t get to vacation much.

Not as advertised
The home was spacious enough for my group of friends. The only outside online picture was the pool area and not the front of the home. We felt that we didn’t have privacy due to a camera that rotated in the pool area. We discovered that the outside pool patio had ripped chairs. The kitchen areas was the best part of the house. It was spacious and update. The bedrooms were a different story. The beds were old and had discussing bed covers, most of the house could use more updated furniture. The flooring in the dining area wasn’t laid evenly, and the televisions were small and we had to cast from our phones and laptops to watch ball games. One of the bedrooms was presented wrong in the online pictures which had included two beds. Only one bed was in the room and the other bed was a rollaway stored in the laundry room. One of my friends had to stay with someone else during our stay. We were each given two towels and one face cloth for the entire week. We had to wash out our face cloth in order to reuse them the next day. I did explain our stay with the property manager. We would not rent this property again.

I hope that those who are reading this one review take the time to also read all our 5 star reviews. This group of 6 men rented our 5 bedroom home wondering who would sleep where. Prior to their arrivals, we received at least 10+ emails and phone calls about the house layouts and which room was most desirable. We welcome questions and can assure you the listing pictures are accurate and our executive bed fits perfectly to have 2 beds in any one of the 3 upstairs bedrooms. However prior to their arrival, we informed Cornelius the 6th bed (the single executive bed) had been moved downstairs to the office area (not the laundry room) by one of the prior guests. To which he stated that with 6 men in his group, they could move it back upstairs or make it work downstairs. But yet they did not. The executive bed should never have been moved downstairs but since it is sturdy and light, I personally took the mattress upstairs first then I moved the frame upstairs w/ no help and I am 120 lbs in my 50's. The 1 broken lounger was replaced and there is no torn furniture. The yard camera is disclosed and strictly there for security reasons just as hotels do on their ground. Now for 5-6 expected men, we provided 15 large body towels, 6-8 hand/face towels and countless washcloths and a washer dryer. Truly sorry but no "daily face" towels although we did drop off a few more towels for them. We work really hard to provide a great home for a perfect stay to all our guests and it's always sad to get complaints. 6 hotel rooms would be best suited for these men so we would Not recommend them to any other host!
