Other things to note -Our guest house is located in the back of the main house across the large back yard.

Thanks for understanding.

Very good

The check-in instructions were inadequate, and we had to contact the host when we arrived. We were supposed to clean our dishes, but there was no sponge. The shampoo dispenser in the shower did not work. The place was old, but clean.

Thank you for your feedback and for mentioning that you found the cottage clean! Regarding the check-in, we aim to make the process as seamless as possible by providing detailed instructions in multiple sections of the VRBO app prior to arrival. We’re glad we were able to resend those to you immediately when you reached out so you could get settled in.
We appreciate you bringing the shampoo dispenser and the missing sponge to our attention; we have already replaced both to ensure the next guest has everything they need. We hope you enjoyed your time in Tampa!
Perfect for me and the kids. Less than 10 minute drive to the bucs stadium, where we went to see them play Philadelphia, Go Birds. The Wi-Fi wouldn't connect to our devices, the host got that taken care of the next day when he was able to.
I want a refund for cleaning services because the space was not cleaned well before I arrived.
Lots of dirt and dust befind the beds, even a slats falling.
Stains on upholstery dinning room chairs
Table with cracks and ink drawings.
Dusty window shades Closet door off hinges
Stain toilet bowl cracked seat Bathroom tile molded Leaking priduct holder screw holes in bathroom walls dirty towel
I would not stay again.

Thank you for your feedback. For clarity, we stock the cottage with four sets of towels and washcloths, as the home sleeps four, and most stays are only a couple of days. For longer visits we happily provide extras — in this case, fresh towels were brought on the second day. The property has been recently remodeled with new furniture, fresh paint, new floors, appliances , furniture etc, so while our current photos are older, the condition is actually nicer than pictured. We are in the process of updating the listing photos once the exterior painting (scheduled this weekend) is complete. We’ll also look into adding outdoor seating and a covered entry to make the stay even more comfortable. We appreciate the suggestions and will continue improving for future guests.”
