Great stay!

This property is exactly as advertised. It’s spacious, clean, and the host is super responsive. It has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 7 beds, and 2 couches. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, and has a lot of newer homes on the block. Though it’s not walking distance to anything, the property is a 10-15 minute ride to most areas in Tampa, including the airport, casino, and Ybor. My group couldn’t stop raving about how awesome this place was and I would definitely stay here again.

Women’s Final Four in Tampa!

We rented this house to stay together as former college basketball teammates in Tampa for the Women’s Final Four weekend and it exceeded our expectations. The check in was seamless and the set up was perfect for our group! When you walk in there’s an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven with a dining table and then it opens to the pool area which is very spacious and tropical (there is a bonus treehouse area in the back that our group used for morning yoga). To the right is the main house which has a large kitchen living room and dining table perfect for the entire group to get together each morning. This side has 2 bedrooms a bathroom and the Murphy bed. Back outside when you walk in to the left there is another house with laundry and a fridge as well as 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The master bedroom has doors that open up to the pool and features a steam shower that everyone took turns using because it was nice! This house truly has everything - even an additional outdoor bathroom and shower to use by the pool. The host was great for our group to continue to make memories 10 years after college and we can’t wait to return to visit one day! Highly recommend this property

Great location and set up for group gatherings.

Perfect Location for my brother's bachelor party, and was able to grill and spend a lot of time by the pool to save money on days/nights out eating.

A perfect getaway for our family with friends. A little bit too far from shops without a car but Uber worked perfect instead!

Amazing Property!

Incredible experience with friends over the weekend. The backyard feels like you stepped out of the city and into a tropical getaway. Very close to the popular Armature Works and the Tampa River Walk. Very clean, easy check in process.

Perfect for Graduation

We stayed Friday -Monday for my daughter's grad from U Tampa. House comfortably fit our group of 10. Hosts were very responsive, including bringing a blanket at 9:00 on a Friday night. Small critique - need more glasses (plastic for pool area), a little more substantial blankets on bed, lower the door on the pool lavette. Master bath was AMAZING! I think everyone took at least one steam in our shower! And tikki hut with leather couches was THE hang out spot (nice and cool under there). Thank you.

Golf Weekend

We (four adult guys age 50+) stayed for 2 nights for a golf weekend in Tampa. Convenient locating to golf, restaurants and airport. House was great - recently updated. Indoor and outdoor areas were great. Will stay again on next trip to Tampa!
