When we pulled up to the property it was 8 pm. There were people on the street that made us a little uncomfortable with the area and in pulling up the grass was very tall like half way up my calf tall. I needed to park on the grass as that is where the parking spots are so walking through this I got assaulted by bugs and ended up with bug bites all over my legs. Once in the house I was super happy . it was just a little jewel and it was clean and just a really nice vibe. My only other complaint with the property is there were lights up by the deck in the back that were not working at all.. so we were unable to enjoy this and sit out by the pretty little cowboy pool. All and all we had a great time regardless. I made an error in reading the VRBO and i thought check out was at 11, which I apologize for.. As soon as we got a knock on the door at 10 am .. we were out within 15 mins. That was entirely my fault as anytime ive checked out anywhere it is usually 11 am... We apologized to the gentleman and left promptly.

This property is 100% a Tampa vibe. We had the best time in Tampa and the ability to come back to a safe and beautiful home. It was far better than the pictures show and was a beautifully crafted space. You are in a very safe, quiet, and great Ybor neighborhood. The artistry, cleanliness, and craftsmanship of the house was outstanding. The church bells in the day were so tranquil in the afternoon as we relaxed on the patio. I am so thankful to find this property. I will be recommending to family and friends. Such an amazing host and place.

Nice place.
There is a neighborhood bodega across the street so there is some noise but it closes at 10pm, so not a big deal.I had messsaged Maria about starting my stay one day early but after 72 hours without a reply, I called VRBO and they got in contact with her.The property is nice. The location is in a neighborhood, not near downtown Ybor.
