My grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the pool, fishing in the lake and the home was spacious enough for all 5 of them to have their own rooms. Great spring break getaway!
Great place to stay in Tampa. Beautiful lake side home. Huge common areas.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the beautiful lakeside setting and spacious common areas. We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in Tampa!
The property is in a location right near the Hard rock casino. Pool was great and house is way bigger inside then it looks outside. Plenty of beds for everyone and comfortable.
Everything was great. Very clean. Bigger than what I expected.

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're glad to hear the home exceeded your expectations and that the space and cleanliness stood out during your stay. We love offering a comfortable and spacious place for guests to relax, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
The booking process was super easy, Tim is very nice and quick to respond. My group really enjoyed themselves and I would definitely recommend booking this house.
I stayed here with a bunch of friends recently. The amount of rooms/beds/eating areas were perfect for our stay. Everyone had plenty of space and felt comfortable. There were a few things that weren’t working, but the owner was quick to respond and get everything sorted out. The private dock and pool were definitely a nice perk. We had a great time!

Incredible place
Loved the large open window/sliding doors that has a view of the pool and lake. The home is updated and has several comfortable beds for guest. Very clean and roomy. I see they had over 100 reviews and over 1000 guests and virtually a 5 star average so that speaks for itself. Owner is very friendly and quick to respond. I would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone in the Tampa area who desires a large pool, a large updated home and a water view.

ONE OF THE BEST
Great experience staying at this weekly rental in Tampa. The house is updated nicely and very roomy. The living room is large and can seat 12+ people. There are actually more beds in the house than are listed. The owner is very responsive and the check in and check out was easy. Great location and they have a beautiful large dock on the water where we rested at times. I would stay here again. Very clean and beautiful home.

Look no further, you will want to stay here
Amazing property, very roomy, beautiful large kitchen and kitchen table, and more than enough seating for over 20 people if you needed it. Dock on the water was nice, the pool area is large and beautiful with more seating/lounging for guests. The indoor house is fabulous. Nice sunrises over the water. The owner is very eager to help in any way possible.

Ruyle Family Vacation
The house is wonderful and has great spaces for family to gather, eat, sleep, enjoy. There were not enough plates and bowls for the number of people staying in the house. Bath towels were put into cupboards without being fully dry.
3 of the rooms were infested with bed bugs and managment never answered for check in code

Great Place for a Family Reunion
We absolutely loved our stay at this Tampa gem, which proved perfect for our family reunion with its thoughtfully designed layout and multiple well-appointed bedrooms to accommodate everyone comfortably. The highlight was definitely the stunning pool area, where we spent countless hours swimming, lounging, and creating lasting memories together. The spacious living room became our central gathering spot, with plenty of seating for everyone to relax, chat, and enjoy movie nights as a family. The host's communication was exceptional throughout our stay, responding promptly to any questions and providing clear instructions for check-in and house amenities. This property exceeded our expectations in every way, and we're already planning to return next year for another unforgettable family gathering.
The house had plenty of room for everyone! The great room had enough seating for family gathering. We loved the deck around the pool and the weather cooperated that we were even able to swim in November.
Host asked that we hang our towels up to dry and reuse them, but did not provide towel racks. We also had to resort to paper products in the kitchen, as the amount of plates was short of servicing our group.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and if I find myself in Tampa ever again, I would consider renting again.

Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The house was nice and big. The pool looked dirty upon arrival but assumed it was the pool liner/concrete that was discolored. Our first morning there, a pool guy shows up to clean the pool. He then puts a chemical in the pool and let us know we cannot go in the pool for 12 hours. That was very unfortunate. The neighbors had a van park in the driveway of the house we rented. All in all - the pool guy could have been scheduled to come prior to us arriving to avoid us being restricted on a Friday to swim in the pool provided!!

From the owner: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the size of the home, but we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the pool. You’re right, the timing of the pool service should have been coordinated before your arrival to ensure you could enjoy it right away. We also understand how frustrating it must have been to have the neighbor’s van in the driveway. We’ll take your comments into account and work to improve communication and scheduling so future guests don’t face these issues. We truly appreciate you staying with us and sharing your experience.
We booked this property for a guy’s weekend. It’s huge and convenient to the Hard Rock Casino. Neighborhood is ok not great the houses are need of some renovations. The house would be amazing if the outside was pressure washed, painted, and a little bit of landscaping. You pull up and your like man this thing looks rough on the outside but the inside is great. We were a group of guys so it didn’t really bother us. But if your wife or girlfriend was with you this would be a turn off.
