Amazing...This property is a unique hideaway that sits in the heart of Tampa's beautiful scenery. From a short walk to the Bayshore's ocean view to short drives to the beaches and shopping district. This property is definitely a hidden jewel.

Great Home Close to Everything S. Tampa has to Offer

This is our second time staying here. A very comfortable house that provided everything we were looking for - during our extended stay. Great location. Gwen was wonderful with any communication that was needed (minor questions) I feel like we became friends during this visit. Would stay here again!

Good not great

Cleaning process between guests was obviously rushed. Mattress pads were soiled and obviously not washed between guests. There was still a cork left on the corkscrew, food particles on the utensils, spills on the kitchen floor. Things that make you question how much cleaning actually occurred. I did ask the property manager for an earlier departure (personal reasons, not dissatisfaction with the property) than planned and she did agree and refunded me so I appreciated that. I did not complain to the property manager and maybe I should have.

Pass on this one

The pictures on the website make this place look really great, but they are deceiving. The nice furnishings and bedding in the pictures are just not there. The yard looks atrocious. It is clear that nothing is being done to maintain it. A new cleaning lady is definitely in order. I think she makes it smell good in there but doesn't actually clean anything. Additionally, this property has way too many things that are falling apart, broken, don't function, or damaged. The lack of communication with the owner when we wanted to check in was unacceptable. We were lucky to gain access because the cleaning lady was still there when we arrived at 3pm. We had still not heard from the owner with the key code. When we got into the property, the thermostat was at 84 and the heat was on. It took 24 hours for that place to cool down. There were 3 adults in our party, and we were supplied with 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels. The king bed had a fitted sheet, but no flat/top sheet. I am pretty certain the sheets on the queen bed were not clean. BEWARE! P.S. There is not an icemaker.

Met Our Needs

To be honest we basically just used the house as a place to shower and sleep. We didn't hang out there much at all. However, getting to downtown Tampa and to the airport were both really easy and there were plenty of amenities close.

Quiet, beautiful location in Tampa

We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms had body wash, shampoo and conditioner. This was a nice bonus, since we traveled with personal item- sized bags. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood, perfect for evening walks. The patio in back was nice for having morning or evening drinks. Host was quick to respond to questions.
