We really enjoyed our stay here and it was perfect for my family! We felt safe, it was stocked with everything we needed and it was the best relaxing out on the patio while the kids played in the pool. You can't beat listening and watching the roller coasters next to the house!

Highly recommended guest 👌 👍 thanks so much for taking such great care of the home 🏡 hope you guys come back again and again and again 😀 ❤️
Brilliant location. Minutes from Busch Gardens, fantastic after a busy day at the park. Nice and cool. Communication excellent. Loved this place, the only downside was plastic on the beds protecting the mattresses.

We cheered, went to hockey game, beach, Main Event, and even went swimming here on site. This place allowed us to get everywhere we needed to take care of cheer business and have fun. It was spacious, everyone was comfortable, and the decor was well thought out. There was nothing we needed that she didn’t have! Communication was great!

the property was a little challenging for those who may have ambulatory issues, lots of uneven doorways and steps. A little noisy during the weekend we stayed with traffic.

Uneven doorways and steps i don't agree..any who thanks to the Mr he loved the home. It's equipped with handrails in the showers and for 2 step down stairs in the home for easier access and safety..and you showed up an hour and more early which was not approved and I was still working on the home and you were still welcomed which i do charge extra..the overview of home let's you know that you're directly in the. Middle of everything this is a tourist neighborhood with trains and Rollercoasters.etc.thank you for choosing Cynthia's villa hope to see you again!!!
Great house for a family visiting USF or Busch Gardens. 5 minutes to both. Kids will enjoy the backyard with views of the roller coasters, pool, and perfect view of fireworks from the park.

Cynthia's villa thanks you so much for your stay and appreciate you and your family taking such good care of my home sooo clean!!! Great guest definitely recommend...see ya next time!!!
My family and i traveled to Tampa to go to Busch Gardens. How awesome it was to find a house directly in back yard of busch gardens. The kids swam in pool while watching the roller coasters. It made them so excited for the next day. The house had everything we needed and more. It was themed like a jungle matching busch garden. The owner was so gracious and responsive. thanks we will come again.

We just wrapped up an incredible stay at this VRBO and can’t say enough good things. The host was phenomenal, super responsive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Communication was fast and flawless, which really sets the bar high for any future stays.The home itself was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and stocked with all the essentials (and then some). The location is fantastic, literally minutes from Busch Gardens, which made our trip so convenient.One of our favorite moments was watching the Busch Gardens fireworks right from the pool. Such a cool bonus we didn’t expect!This is officially our new go-to spot whenever we’re in Tampa. Already looking forward to coming back soon!TV's in each room was a hit for my gamer sons.
We stayed here to attend my daughters graduation from USF and would highly recommend the property for ANY reason!! The location to the University and to Busch Gardens can't be beat!!
It was just 2 of us but the property is well laid out with the Master on one side of the house and 3 additional bedroom on the other.
Communication was smooth, upbeat and timely! Our host even left a graduation balloon and card for my daughter.....above and beyond expectations!!
Plan to stay here whenever I go to Tampa to visit my daughter (now moving on to her PhD).

Nice people are my kinda people and this family was just that!! Great guest..left the home very nice..you're always welcome here again thank you ❤️
House has 4 good size bedrooms, nice dinning room, well stocked kitchen and comfortable living room. The outdoor are is nice and well maintained. We loved the bench in the front yard and used it to watch Busch Gardens fireworks every night. Communication with the host was superb. The house is well stocked with items you may have forgotten to pack. Restaurants are close by as well as CVS and grocery stores.

I thank you guys sooooo much 😍 !!!! Recommend guest to everyone....glad you enjoyed yourselves and you're always welcomed..ty for taking such good care of my home ♥
We spent 3 days a great time. The owner provided snacks, it was very clean, the backyard was beautiful. We sat by the pool and you could see Busch Gardens. We went to the Tampa zoo and Busch Gardens, and it was close to both parks we had 6 teenagers, and for adults. There were plenty of space and beds. Everything worked in the kitchen. The whole place had a Safari theme, which went with the parks. Great stay. Sherrell was easy to communicate with. We absolutely loved Cynthia’s accommodations, and we would definitely book again.
House was as advertised. Beds were more than sufficient. House was clean. Covered backyard was nice. The only issue we had was noise. The road beside the house is a busy road. The bedrooms on that side of the house could hear all the traffic and frequently passing emergency vehicles. Also, the house behind this house had more than one party. It seemed like college aged kids but they were very loud. They partied both Friday and Saturday night. This may also be a rental house, so I don't know if it is a regular occurrence. Over all, the house was good. Far better than a hotel.
