About this property

Ybor City Group Home — Game Room & Sleeps 12 | Tampa

  • Welcome to Emperor Castle, where the whole group fits, and nobody wants to leave. 🏠

    We designed this home for groups who want to actually enjoy where they're staying, not just sleep there. Walk in to an open, airy living space anchored by a large sectional, smart TV with streaming, and enough room for everyone to gather. The layout flows into the kitchen and dining area so no one gets cut off from the conversation.

    The full kitchen has everything you need: spacious counters, modern appliances, ☕ coffee maker, complete cookware, and a dining table that seats 6 (plus breakfast bar overflow).

    Oh, and a corner bakery is literally steps from the front door for those easy mornings.

    🎱 THE GAME ROOM
    This is the room that makes Emperor Castle. Full-size pool table that converts to ping pong, a dartboard, and a PlayStation console. Pre-Ybor warmup? Post-beach wind down? Tuesday for no reason? The game room's always ready.

    🛏️ WHERE YOU'LL SLEEP
    Bedroom 1: King bed + bunk bed. Sleeps 4 | Smart TV | Blackout curtains
    Bedroom 2: Queen bed + bunk bed. Sleeps 4 | Smart TV | Blackout curtains
    Bedroom 3: Smart TV. Additional sleeping for larger groups

    Fresh linens throughout. Every bedroom has its own smart TV.

    🚿 BATHROOMS
    Bathroom 1: His-and-hers sinks + walk-in shower
    Bathroom 2: Sink, vanity + shower/tub combo

    We clean to hotel-grade standards every single stay. Clean home, guaranteed. ✅

Amazing, attentive, and knowledgeable hosts

I would recommend this property to anyone staying in Tampa! Very centrally located but they also have tons of entertainment options if you’re staying in. Whatever question I had, they enthusiastically responded in a timely manner and with an abundance of explanation. Probably the best hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of cooperating with. If I could give 6 starts I would!!
