What a great place to stay. So many surprises. The layout was perfect. Loved the backyard especially the outdoor cooking station. My grandkids loved the pool. I would highly recommend because it was unique the way this paradise became a home away from home.

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience and leave a review. We truly appreciate it and look forward to the opportunity to host you again.
The home was clean and equipped with more than we needed for our short trip. The kids enjoyed the special lighting and fireplace and the fancy toilets were an added bonus. The backyard is an oasis in the middle of the city. The neighborhood was quiet. We lived in the area before and already loved the coffee shop around the corner and it was great to easily walk to the shop. Gigi was a great host.

Would STAY AGAIN! The grounds are beautiful and peaceful! The trees out back were gorgeous, much bigger property than the pictures show. Love the kitchen set up, had everything I needed. Perfect for our small get together. I slept great, beds were comfy-bathrooms clean. Looking forward to using ALL the amenities next time. The host, Gigi, was responsive and available if needed.

Thank you so much for your beautiful review! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the peaceful backyard and the space for your gathering. I truly appreciate your kind words about the kitchen setup, cleanliness, and comfort — it means a lot to me.
You were a wonderful guest, and I’m thrilled the home had everything you needed. I would love to welcome you back anytime so you can enjoy all the amenities on your next visit! 💛
Gigi was very responsive - a lot of extras like towels, trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper was nice. Didn’t care for the fact the garage has been converted to a “cottage” and that wasn’t on the listing details. While that person had their own entrance you do have to share the driveway and just the fact another person was there wasn’t something we liked. If you have allergies there are alot of scented plug ins everywhere and stuck in drawers etc it’s a bit overwhelming. The pool loses quite a but if water daily so have to use hose to fill it appears there’s a leak.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the extra supplies and enjoyed your stay.
The cottage has a separate entrance and no shared indoor spaces or amenities, though we understand driveway sharing may not suit everyone. We will review the listing to ensure clarity.
We also appreciate the notes about the plug-ins and pool water level and have already made adjustments, including installing an automatic pool filler system.
Thank you again for helping us improve.
Gigi was a very responsive host. All my questions were responded to promptly. The heated pool and outdoor park like area was beautiful and well appointed. Inside was professionally decorated with everything you need in a kitchen, including a whole house water filter and reverse osmosis drinking faucet with many other extras. There are even bidet style to oilers in both full bathrooms. An Oasis of entertainment and relaxation in the middle of Tampa close to Raymond James stadium and Busch Gardens and near downtown. Don’t over look this gem if you are staying in Tampa!
