Excellent Home and Location!

Our stay was amazing! The house was extremely comfortable, renovated, and the private yard was extraordinary. There was plenty of space for our family of four and the location being so close to the airport and downtown Tampa was great. Highly recommend and will certainly stay here again when returning to the Tampa area!

We had a fantastic three-night stay at this beautiful waterfront home in Tampa Bay. The views were stunning and the peaceful setting made it an ideal escape. With it being such a hot weekend, the pool was an absolute godsend-crystal clear, refreshing, and the perfect spot to cool off and unwind.The home itself was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We spent time on the patio enjoying the breeze and watching the boats pass by.The host Melinda was responsive and made everything easy. Would absolutely recommend this place.

Great house for an adult family!

The house was absolutely perfect. We were in town for a funeral and had all of our kids stay with us. There was plenty of room for everyone but also had a great outdoor area for all of us to relax. The house was nicely stocked and we didn’t need to bring anything with us. We would definitely stay here again!
