About this property

Tampa Bungalow - Hot Tub/Pets/Beaches/Busch Gardens

Our Tampa Bungalow sleeps seven with four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

It has travertine floors and cavernous cathedral ceilings and is about 2200 Sq feet of relaxing, cool Florida living.

When you are not indoors, you can relax in the screened porch with a glass of wine. It is screened so that the Florida State bird, the mosquito will not carry you away.

If you want to exercise, you could grill a steak out on the patio, or do some clothes washing in the laundry room.

The Bungalow has two king beds and three twin beds spread out over four bedrooms.

The location is very convenient to Downtown, Busch Gardens, USF, Moffit, Clearwater, Disney and most of central Florida. The Convention center and Downtown is 20 minutes (13 miles) away, Bush Gardens, Moffitt and USF are 6 - 7 miles away. Perfect!

In three miles, you can be on I-275, and in two miles, you can be on your way to the airport on the Veterans Expressway.

Just around the corner is a great, quiet road that is convenient for walking and (god forbid) jogging. If you are going to jog, let me know so I can pour a gin and tonic, and come and watch.

We have plenty of room to roam for the kids and pets. Our bungalow is pet friendly.

We supply linens and bedding, bath towels, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, hand soap, coffee filters....just bring your clothes and food. We will not complain if you don't bring your clothes, so just bring food!

We have two excellent Publix grocery stores very near by, and Dale Mabry with it's hundreds of restaurants is two miles West. Yes, you cannot escape two local Walmart super centers either.

On a rainy day, you can watch Netflix or cable on our smart TV, or you can surf the web and throw youTube videos to the tv for the family to marvel at!

It takes about 20 minutes to downtown, 25 minutes to the Airport, 25 miles to the nearest top DR Beach pick for the famous Florida beaches. We are seven miles to Busch Gardens, USF and Moffit, 13 miles to the convention center and generally within easy access of most of central Florida.

We have owned the Tampa Bungalow since 2008, and it is a very nice, comfortable home.

Come and stay with us!

Great relaxing get away.

This quaint bungalow in Lutz Florida was perfect for us as it was central to everything, no problem getting around what so ever. Loved the relaxing evenings in the hot tub. Neighborhood was very quite and safe. The owner Joanathan was great. Very easy to work with.

Great home, wonderful host!

I can’t say enough great things about this home and our host Jonathan. His house was clean, well stocked with everything we needed, and in a great location. It was perfect upon our arrival and we didn’t have any problems during our extended stay. The icing on the cake was how great Jonathan was. He is an excellent communicator and was super kind. We had to extend our stay several times and he was extremely gracious and understanding about our last minute requests to extend our visit. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you Jonathan!

Exactly as advertised, great spot.

Very rustic appearance on the outside but inside is a perfect bungalow. We had 5 guys coming down for a golf trip and Jon only had 4 beds at the time of booking. He took the time and money to add a 5th bed, and then of course our 5th guy broke his arm 3 days before the trip and we ended up with only 4. Jacuzzi tub in screen house saved my trip as my back flared up. Tub was nice and clean and being a swimming pool owner I do get worried about hot tubs turning into "human bacteria frappes" if water is not maintained and balanced - this was as far away from that as possible. pool water was nice and clear and clean. It is a bit tricky to find but after finding it's easy. Jonathan was very communicative, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. I'd recommend to anyone to stay here. Access to highways is a five minute ride, downtown Tampa about 20 minute ride.

Refreshing retreat!

Excellent service and personal attention, combined with professional and thorough management made our stay at this Tampa bungalow perfect for our circumstances. I contacted Jonathan late one afternoon with a last-minute booking request when our original rental lost its air conditioning. Fortunately, this lovely place was available and we were settled in within a couple of hours. It is spacious and comfortable and homey. Jonathan is very easy to work with and it is obvious that he cares about the comfort of his guests. Having all the bedrooms on one floor was especially convenient for us, as my mom was recovering from surgery. While the openness of the floor plan was great for her managing a walker (as well as providing a light and airy atmosphere), I can imagine that it would be equally appealing for any family with children of all ages. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy time together, but easy to walk down the hall to the privacy of individual bedrooms, too. The kitchen is well-designed and opens to the living area, which is very nice for all guests. We stayed for a week but could easily imagine being comfortable there for several. The location is perfect, also, as it's an easy drive to any destination in Tampa, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby without having to fight city traffic. Thank you, Jonathan, for providing a nice place during a challenging time for us. I highly recommend your Tampa Bungalow!

Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma canceled the trip for me and my friends, but Jonathan remained ever patient with us as we worked through our sadness. While we were not able to stay at the home and cannot; therefore, give a review of the house itself, please let this serve as a review of the owner. He is patient. He had everything ready for us. He is a very quick and thorough communicator. You will always know the status of your stay (even if you cannot come). Thanks, Jonathan! Really appreciate all you did in preparation of our stay and so sorry we couldn't make the trip. We were looking forward to this trip so much!

About the host

Hosted by Ashley and Jonathan

When folks stay with us, I see a lot of dynamics that give me and them enormous satisfaction:

I have seen families getting to spend time with each other or to unite and welcome a newborn in to the world. I see graduations being celebrated with great joy. I watch families come together to grieve the loss of a loved one. I have folks visit to take the kids to Bush Gardens, or to attend a conference. Some of my guests are here working on special projects.

Through it all, I do enjoy helping them be comfortable with their families and seeing them enjoy our home and the surrounding area.
