Perfect for our family vacation!

The house was clean, lovely, and spacious. The pool and hot tub were delightful. The location was perfect for us - quick drive to many beaches, Legoland, and Tampa. The owner was so helpful and even offered to mail us a couple forgotten items - including a beloved stuffed animal. Highly recommend!

Brilliant Brandon Home

This property stood out on the VRBO website as being exactly what we were looking for and led us to the idea of Brandon as a holiday destination/base to enjoy what Tampa had to offer. The ease of booking the property and immediate correspondence with James was easy and supportive. Prior to checking in, James reached out with very informative information that set the tone for an easy check in process and ultimately, a comfortable and reassuring travel experience knowing what we would expect after a long flight from England. As a family of four with an 12 & 14 year old, the layout of the house and amenities was just perfect. The children had their side of the house and perfect bathroom space and as parents, we were afforded a most luxurious bedroom space with walk-in wardrobe, gorgeous vanity unit for couples and perfect bathroom - one of the many things that had 'sold' the property to us, when we found it on VRBO. The shared living, dining and food preparation space really suited the time we spent in the house, while on holiday. The pool and hot-tub were sublime and both enjoyed in the early morning, hot afternoon and late evenings post dinner. The extra touches such as beach chairs, cool-bag, beach-towels, hairdryers, washing facilities and cleaning supplies made the biggest difference to us. The house couldn't be in a better location for exploring Brandon, shops, beaches and restaurants and nearby theme-parks and attractions. We did not want the holiday to end! Thank you!

Great Place!

Place was very clean upon check-in. James (host/owner) was very communicative, no issues at all. Place is advertised as is. Family of sandhill cranes visited in the creek behind the house a couple days. I took morning walks on trail close by, wife walked around neighborhood in mornings. Area had plenty of restaurant options and groceries were close too. Would definitely stay again. Thanks James for hospitality!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, comfortable and well prepared for our visit. Host was generous with supplies that he stocked for our visit. Attractive, well laid out interior. The tile floors glistened. It is located in a quiet neighborhood with a spacious lanai that afforded exceptional privacy for pool, hot tub, and outdoor relaxation. Pool lights on timer welcomed us back every evening. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay

We were a family of 6 (4 adults; 2 teens) and we were very happy with our stay. The house is in a nice neighborhood and it is equipped with everything we needed. We used this as a base to visit Tampa, Busch Gardens etc and it was a convenient base for our travels. Everything was in great shape when we arrived and communication with the owner was easy and quick.

Exquisite home!

We arrived to a beautiful and clean home. Everything was as stated in the description. We didn’t think we’d use the hot tub much since we booked the last week of August, but with the hurricane rain that we had that week it was a nice amenity. It was also nice having the patio area with the hot tub and pool screened in. The king size bed was very comfortable. The location was close to everything we planned on doing. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic home!

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed! The home looked exactly like the pictures and smelled freshly cleaned. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing that would have helped was having TVs in the bedrooms. My teenagers kept fighting over the one TV in the family room. The pool and hot tub were clean. The owners were responsive and helpful. Highly recommend staying here.
