About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Heated Pool & Game Room | Sleeps 10

A renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath North Tampa home for up to 10 guests with a private heated pool. Busch Gardens is 9 minutes away, ZooTampa 8. A heated pool, game tables and a fenced yard make it a fit for theme-park weeks, family trips and small reunions.



The living room opens straight into the recreation area, so the pool table and ping pong table are part of the main space. Out back, a heated in-ground pool is ringed with seating, with a covered patio, grill and gazebo in a fully fenced yard. Three bedrooms plus a bed in the living room sleep 10, a 5-minute walk from Forest Hills Park.



BEDROOMS & BATHS (3 BR / 2 BA)

★ Bedroom 1, master suite: king bed with ensuite bath (shower)

★ Bedroom 2: queen bed, smart TV

★ Bedroom 3: queen bed plus a bunk bed, smart TV, lots of natural light

★ Living room: one extra bed for guests 9 and 10

Bedroom 3 is reached through Bedroom 2; the two rooms connect.

Sleeping math: king, 2 queens, a bunk bed and the living-room bed = up to 10 guests.

2 full baths for up to 10 guests: the master has a shower-only ensuite. The guest bath has a tub-and-shower combo and a vanity, and serves everyone else.

Washer and dryer in the home.

BEST FOR

★ Groups of 6–8 who want a pool and a game room without paying for a bigger house



MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT IF

★ You are 10 adults who each want a bedroom door. Guests 9 and 10 sleep in the living room, and Bedroom 3 is reached through Bedroom 2.

Overall, we had a great stay but there was a few things that are concerning. The water pressure is terrible; don't expect to take a nice shower during your stay because it will take you forever to get anything to rinse out of your hair. Also, the bathrooms are not safe for the elderly or handicapped visitors. There are no safety rails and the tub/shower floors are very slippery. There are no safety rails for the pool either so we couldn't enjoy that part of our stay either. We were looking forward to the extra beds for our family to spread out some, but the bunk bed made terrible noises so my daughter slept on the couch the entire stay.

Trip to visit friends

Great stay and easy location to get to all parts of Tampa. Pool was very warm even with the low temps for the area. Staff was very responsive to questions and ensured I was informed. The only thing I would recommend is an improvement to the back door. It tends to bind when opening and could cause damage to the home. This is a minor issue and one that is easily resolved. Great stay!

Xavier’s Graduation

My family from Texas and Louisiana came to Tampa to celebrate Xavier’s graduation. Your house was perfect for us. The location was in the middle of everything we had planned to do. Playing pool was a big plus. The pool was also a great hit. Emperor Rentals reached out several times to be sure that everything was what we were expecting. If I had any questions they were quick to respond. It was a perfectly relaxing time for all of us.

Pros: Good value for what is provided. The communication with the rental company was smooth and prompt. The outdoor area is nice with the pool and seating options (although there was no hammock as advertised in the listing pictures). The kitchen was fairly well equipped. It was very convenient having laundry and laundry detergent. The living room couch was super comfortable. Easy parking with the car port. There were minimal rules when leaving the property regarding cleaning which made leaving less stressful. For example we didn't have to worry about moving trash barrels, stripping sheets, etc like we did at other properties. There are plenty of towels and pillows available (although bath towels and beach towels were pretty small and thin, not what is pictured in the listing). Cons: There were outdoor cameras including facing the pool, outdoor seating area, car port and front doorbell without being disclosed in the listing. Some of the vinyl flooring was cracked in the king bedroom and kitchen. We weren't able to sleep in the king bed as half of it felt sunken in. (I let the rental company know about these things when asked for feedback). The queen bed was a little bit more comfortable. I was glad we weren't traveling with the maximum amount of people because you need to walk though one bedroom to get to the bedroom with the king bed and second bathroom. I was a little surprised there was no cooking basics like salt, pepper, oil, or a basic cleaner but we made it work.
