This is a great property especially if you have littles. We stayed during the week and it was great. Property was as advertised and there were many great beaches not far at all! Wonderful hosts as well! Will recommend!!
The house and pool was perfect for what we needed. Everything was what the host advertised so we were very impressed. Communication with host was good. I would definitely go back again.
This house is perfectly located to be able to get all over Tampa the beaches while still being in the burbs. Great restaurants close by and the neighborhood is quiet. The house itself was great and obviously updated. Plenty of space for the entire family and a large screened in pool. We had a great trip and appreciate these attentive hosts.

Overall the inside of the house was nice, their were something’s still dirty from last guest, pool had toys in it and the grill was not cleaned, the kids did enjoy the games in the garage. Would have been nicer if jacuzzi would have worked.
