For the most part it was an ok stay. Pictures made it look bigger in size than it actually is. There was a distinct musty smell upon arrival and had to open up windows and patio doors to air out. The next day when closing up the house to cool it down there was a swamp water smell or sewer like smell that never did go away. Location was close to USF as we were there for baseball. That was convenient. Outdoor patio area was nice and we were able to grill food for our baseball boys to come over. Disappointed that the cornhole boards weren’t there as listed and found out the prior tenants damaged them.
Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Feb 2026
Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re really glad the location worked well for your USF baseball trip and that you were able to enjoy the additional patio area with the boys — that’s exactly the kind of memories we hope guests make there. We’re sorry the home felt smaller than expected and especially for the odor you experienced. We are absolutely taking it seriously and are actively looking into possible intermittent causes to make sure everything is as it should be. Your comfort truly matters to us. We also apologize about the cornhole boards. They were unfortunately damaged by a previous guest stay before your checkin and had to be removed, but we’re working on replacing them. Wish they would have arrived prior to your checkout. The new set is in the home now for future guests. We appreciate you staying with us and for taking the time to share your thoughts.

The host was very welcoming and responsive. It's just that the house itself was rather dated, with lots of little things that were inconvenient - e.g., dishwasher not attached to the counter frame so it would fall out if you didn't hold it well; fridge had crooked door that required an extra push to ensure closure; shower caddy collapsed out of nowhere; air conditioning kept turning on/off on its own causing waves of very cold and warm; etc.
