About this property

The Great Escape 3BR 2B Entire house

A 20 min drive from the Tampa international airport this is our quaint newly renovated vacation home, in South Tampa. A 20 minute drive from Tropicana Fields and the Amalie Arena, in addition to the Tampa Zoo and aquarium. Honestly it’s a great location to get to almost anything fun in the Tampa area! And if you want to just stay in we set up a backyard oasis with a pool/hot tub spa combo surrounded by a cozy shaded relaxing patio. Paradise is right around the corner in our Great Escape!

This was a great place to stay while we were in Tampa Bay. The house and yard are beautiful and clean and a perfect place to relax and unwind each day. They provide everything you need to make it a relaxing, fun vacation/getaway. The hosts were very communicative throughout the entire process. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone coming to that area.

The house is beautiful and very well kept. It’s located in a quaint neighborhood and close enough to all main attractions Tampa has to offer. The amenities were more than enough for our family of 3. Highly recommend and will likely plan to stay again at The Great Escape.

We had a wonderful stay… this home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and really well put together. Everything we needed was already there, which made things easy. The space felt comfortable and homey.The location was convenient, close to everything we wanted to do but still quiet enough to relax. Check-in and check-out were simple, no issues at all. The host was responsive and helpful. We would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, stress-free place to stay.

This was the most perfect VRBO experience that I have ever had. The home was beautiful and comfortable just like it was advertised. It had everything that you needed and more! The hot tub was so relaxing and perfect for a romantic getaway. If I could give it 6 stars, I would!

Very welcoming hosts who had left extra bottles of water, snack candies, and numerous 'comfy' home items. The 12 person hot tub/pool was the go to for relaxing on those days that we hit the 10,000 steps.

The place was perfect! Very clean, well maintained, easy check-in process and the hosts were great. The best part was the very large jacuzzi in the back screened in porch. We plan to keep this place on the list of places to stay next time we are in Tampa.

We really enjoyed our stay! The beds were SUPER comfortable, which is odd for most rentals. The house had a lot of special touches and things that made our stay even easier than excepted. The hot tub area was a little dirty but the hot tub after being a tourist all day was perfect for relaxing our sore feet and backs. The location was good for the places we visited.

Great place that met all of our needs! We came to town to move our daughter into u if Tampa - great location from airport to city and everything in between. Neighborhood itself is dated and is the nicest house on the street - but in general felt safe and would return.

Wonderful property. Had a small issue upon arrival (code wasn't working) so I called Paige and she was able to reset the code within a couple of minutes. Problem solved! The house is fantastic and incredibly well stocked especially with linens and towels. The screened in back patio and spa are real luxury features. Stayed two weeks and it felt like home. Only negative is that there isn't anything in walking distance. That said, we knew that going in so in no way were we disappointed. We prefer quiet over city living and it delivered on that. Also, everything you needed (Publix, Walgreens, restaurants, etc.) were in a very short drive away. Would definitely stay here again.
