This was the perfect spot for our 8th anniversary trip. The size was just what we needed and the patio was great to spend time on at the end of the day. This is a unique property and when we travel without the kids we would love to stay here again.

Quiet and convenient

This is a small cottage close to Tampa with food and groceries near by. Even though it’s close to the interstate, it was very quiet and cozy. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.

It was very clean, private and cozy. Had toiletries already there so we didn't need to bring as much on our trip. Felt secure and the roku tv was a pleasant bonus.

Awesome little pod

Very clean, everything you need is there. It was a bit noisy as right next to the freeway, but we turned on the fan and it was fine. A great value with our own 4 walls for a long weekend.

Cozy, Cool, and Convenient!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was in a centrally located, convenient area which was a plus. They had everything we needed to cook meals, pots and pans and a hot plate, as well as a keurig for morning coffee and afternoon tea. If you forgot any toiletries, like toothbrushes or soap then they have you covered! For sure we would stay here again. Also they have a mini split unit inside so we were able to keep it a nice consistent temperature.

A great cozy place

The owner was very responsive. A very well kept , clean and cozy place. Much cleaner and personal feeling than a hotel room. Nice refrigerator that has room for frozen as well as normal refrigerator things. Very centrally located to attractions in the area, and stores. We enjoyed our stay very much. Would highly recommend.

Tiny but oh so cute

We needed an inexpensive place for two people to spend a couple of nights. This property was perfectly clean, well furnished, and tastefully decorated. We loved it. The neighborhood was a bit iffy, but it was not a problem. It was located close to the Interstate but was quiet inside and very convenient to everything we needed.

Weekend get away

Overall, the area was neat and clean. It had the basic amenities that you would need for a short weekend stay. Had some challenges with the keypad entry and cable. The porch on the outside was relaxing where you could talk and have a nice cup of coffee, Otherwise no issues with this VRBO,

Great location

We loved our stay in Tampa. The room was clean, they had plenty of bowls and plates so we were able to have dinner and keep them in the full sized fridge afterwards. The bathroom was also clean and adorable. The outside yard was peaceful to sit out in. Best of all, it was close to Ybor and the new Orpheum location. Overall 5/5 and would recommend for anyone coming to Tampa for a nice, quiet visit. It was so nice coming home from our concert and having a peaceful, quiet and relaxing place to stay at.

Little VRBO is a hidden gem

Instructions were very clear and concise. Upon entering the property, the exterior was somewhat misleading and looked like a shed. It looked very small from the outside, however, once entering the building, it was cozy. It suited our purpose very well. The neighborhood was an older one, however the way the owner had the VRBO set up made it feel disconnected from the neighborhood. It was a nice little getaway.

Personal touches

Clean, nice, cute personal additions such as travel tooth paste, cotton swabs, and love/heart hand towels. I loved the porch. I worked out twice in the shaded area. Keurig coffee was good. Communication was excellent with the property management. I will return.
