Great location. We enjoyed the outdoor space. We were able to walk to the park to watch the sunrise. The owner communicated during the entire stay and was very attentive to our requests.
The property was very clean and had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. It was very easy to get to the location with an uber. Would definitely recommend staying here in the future

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Jan 2026
thank you again for staying with us. I am sorry to hear the visit did not meet your expectations. I want to clarify for future guests that the hot tub was working properly during your stay. We provided instructions several times and the issue was from user error when the steps were not followed, so the system did not heat as intended. The hot tub has continued to work with other guests before and after your stay.
I also want to note that communication was difficult at times which made it harder for us to assist you the way you needed. We tried reaching out and explaining things, but responses were limited, which affected the support we could give during your stay.
Regarding location, before booking you asked about walkability and we explained that the home is located in a residential neighborhood and not in a walkable commercial district. The property is about 1.5 miles from Ybor and 1.5 miles from most Tampa event venues, aside from Raymond James Stadium. This was shared with you ahead of time so expectations were clear.
House rules were also not fully followed, which we documented and reported to Vrbo as required for safety and policy reasons.
We always want our guests to have the best experience and we are quick to help when communication flows easily. I appreciate your feedback and hope you still enjoyed your time in Tampa.
Spent the weekend here with family! Was overly impressed with the property and its amenities! Easy communication with the owners. Would definitely stay here again when I go back!

I came to tampa with my friends for a concert and we only stayed one night but overall the place was nice, clean, well prepared, the area was really quiet and nice. The administrator for the place was really nice and accommodating and reaponded quickly to any request. If I come back to tampa for longer I would definitely try to stay here again.
Adorable house with plenty of space! Three comfy bedrooms and two bathrooms made it perfect for our group. The kitchen is huge and has everything you could possibly need to cook. We loved having the washer and dryer, and the backyard was so much fun with lots of games and plenty of seating to hang out. There are TVs everywhere, and being able to connect our phones was a nice bonus. We had such a great time and would definitely stay here again!
This adorable little house was perfect for our family trip to Tampa for my daughter’s graduation from University Of Tampa. It was very clean, beds very comfortable. Thoughtful items like a small cooler for snacks in the car, a huge TV in the living room. I would stay here again for sure.
As we were only in town for a long weekend the property served us extremely well. My chef of a daughter was especially happy with the kitchen appliances and service items.
Wverything During our three-day stay in Tampa for a wedding, everything was flawless. Our hosts were outstanding. Every need for a relaxing vacation or productive business trip was anticipated. The neighborhood was peaceful, located in an industrial area within easy reach of popular tourist spots.

About the host
Hosted by Dior
I’m a proud husband and father, and this home holds a very special place in my heart. It was my first home, the place where I started my journey, eventually met my wife, and built the foundation for our family. I chose not to sell this home because it’s more than just a property—it’s a part of me. Its history, culture, and connection to the vibrant Palmetto Beach neighborhood make it a place I deeply cherish.
Although life keeps me busy, I love returning here whenever I can experience the charm of the neighborhood and everything Tampa has to offer. As someone who enjoys traveling, I understand the value of staying in a home that feels warm, inviting, and part of the local culture. That’s why I decided to share this space with others.
I hope this home offers you the same sense of comfort, adventure, and connection that it has given me. From the history and character of Palmetto Beach to Tampa’s lively community and nearby attractions, there’s so much to discover and enjoy. I’m excited for you to experience it all
Why they chose this property
I chose Palmetto Beach as the location for my property because it’s a neighborhood with deep historical roots and an authentic charm that’s hard to find elsewhere. Established in the late 1800s, it grew around cigar factories and the electric streetcar, creating a vibrant community with a unique mix of Spanish, Italian, German, and other influences. Its historic architecture, from Bungalows to Spanish Colonial Revival styles, adds to its beauty and character.
Today, Palmetto Beach is a safe and welcoming community filled with wonderful people, many of whom have lived here for decades. It’s an up-and-coming area that maintains its old-world charm while offering easy access to some of Tampa’s most popular destinations, like Ybor City, Channelside, and Downtown. Whether you’re here to explore Tampa or relax in a peaceful, authentic neighborhood, Palmetto Beach offers the best of both worlds.
What I love most is the sense of home I feel here, especially during holidays when the neighborhood’s Cuban and Spanish influences shine through. Being Spanish myself, it’s a connection that feels personal and special. Staying here means experiencing a part of Tampa’s history and culture, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property truly unique is its perfect blend of history, charm, and accessibility. Nestled in the heart of the historic Palmetto Beach neighborhood, this property offers a glimpse into Tampa’s rich cultural past while providing all the modern conveniences you need for a comfortable stay.
The location is exceptional—just minutes from Ybor City’s lively nightlife and historic streets, the bustling Channelside District, and Downtown Tampa. You’re also surrounded by some of the city’s best breweries, offering a taste of Tampa’s vibrant craft beer scene.
For nature lovers, the property is conveniently close to Florida hiking trails, serene wildlife preserves, and DeSoto Park, perfect for enjoying the outdoors and catching a glimpse of Tampa’s natural beauty. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, this location offers the best of both worlds.
Add to that the welcoming, safe neighborhood and the Cuban-Spanish vibe that makes holidays here so special, and you’ll see why this property is one of a kind. It’s a place where history meets community, and where you can make lasting memories in Tampa.
