This beautiful house is so clean, it has a the comforts of home and a very nice Jacuzzi tub for relaxing. The back yard has a great view of the sunset. We really enjoyed staying here.
Great house with plenty of room, comfy beds, and great showers! It has all the amenities you may need, even dishes for kids! We really enjoyed both screened in porches! Close to shopping, restaurant, and The River church!
We enjoyed our stay!! The house was perfect for our 2 families. We had plenty of space and felt comfortable our whole stay. Would definitely recommend this house to others. The only thing I would change is that the listing says the Master has a King size bed, but the bed was a Queen and the same as the second bedroom. Overall wonderful stay and easy to check in and check out! Thank you for having us.
Stayed to visit family in the area. Conveniently located off 75, close proximity to 618 which is a pleasure to take in/out of Downtown Tampa. Food options are endless, supermarket options are close by. The bathrooms, kitchen, and living room are large. Enclosed lanai includes table & benches - great spot to relax and watch the water activity in the backyard. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Owner checked in to make sure we settled in nicely and enjoyed our stay.
My husband, our little dog & me enjoyed our stay immensely. Great out door lanai to relax & play games. Fenced in area for our dog. It was very clean & had everything u needed for cooking meals. Kim was very helpful with everything. We WILL be back!!!

Wonderful immaculate house
The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated and well appointed. The only issue was that there were other houses in the neighborhood that had tall grass. Because it was a girl’s trip it made us feel a little uneasy. There were no issues with safety at all. The neighborhood was quiet at night and during the day. I would recommend this house to my friends and associates but just make them aware that all the yards will not be well manicured or even just mowed. For-this I would give it a 4 1/2 . But 4 was the only option.

Great stay
We had a great stay at the rental home in Brandon. The space was very clean in a quiet neighborhood. Communication from Itrip was prompt and clear. Check in was flawless.
Overall very happy. Stayed here while we moved or son into the university of Tampa. Communication with property management company is second to none. Would stay again when we go visit our son
Clean home with a great layout, awesome screened patio, a great yard, and perfect location (5 mins from everything) in a quiet neighborhood. One car garage was definitely a plus, full sized washer and dryer.The property included all of the essential items that we needed for the entire week and the place is well taken care of. My wife and I were both able to work remotely from this location due to high bandwidth and fast internet speeds. Great communication with the property manager and felt well received when requesting an early arrival. Will certainly book for future trips to the area.
Had family coming in from all over the country. We chose this property vs a hotel for some of us. Home is beautiful. Close to restaurants and shopping.
