Other Things to Note:
Please note the following:
1. Florida is Tropical. In such an environment, we frequently encounter local wildlife which includes insects. Our home is well maintained and treated regularly to reduce bug encounters . However, we cannot control the occasional bug creeping in to say hello or found dead (this a good sign as the place is treated). Unfortunately, we will not issue a refund for a dead or live occasional bug. It's Florida and that’s where we live. If you happen to see a bug just let us know we can spray for you! We do not foresee this being an issue during your stay but we must mention it.
2. This is a 1920s Bungalow and comes with quirks and charm. Sometimes 100 year old homes aren’t right for everyone. Please send us a message if you have any questions or are in doubt about your booking.
3. There are 3-4 stairs in order to enter and exit this home which may affect those with special accessibility needs.
4. This home is on a large lot with two additional guest homes located behind it. You’re booking the house but please note that behind the home there are two other rental units.
5. The washer / dryer is located outside on the back porch your home. This is a shared space that the additional 3 units have access to on the property. We offer free Laundry Detergent inside your unit for your convenience and use! We ask that you use the washer/dryer between the hours of 8:00AM - 9:00PM to respect the other guests during their stay.
6. No keys to lose or to return- woohoo! You can enter with your personal smart lock code that will be sent to you in a message after you book!
7. We do politely ask guests to respect quiet hours from 11pm-8am both inside and outside for our neighbors.
8. We created a list of our favorite places to eat, drink and hang out for you! You’ll receive a digital copy of our “My Tampa Guidebook” in your AirBnB inbox.
Our Policies:
NO PETS ON FURNITURE: We know you love your animals, but we kindly ask that you keep them off of our furniture as it can leave a smell, stains and hair that is hard to remove.

Family Time
We had a great time in this beautiful 1920s bungalow. It is located in the heart of Tampa close to restaurants, bars, and shopping. There was plenty of room for our 4 guests. Lots of board games and the front porch swing with a bonus. Alex was a great host We will book this home again when family comes back to town

Cozy and Nice
Property was clean and nice set up. We had no problems with the property. Only thing I would say is the windows were dirty and you could hear everything outside clearly. Walls/ windows were paper thin. We were easily woken up. Everything else was perfect.

Excellent location, comfy bedrooms
Awesome location for all things Tampa & great restaurants. Comfortable house with plenty of space. Game room was a flop. No darts for the dartboard and other games were broken. Nice kitchen space but dimly lit and not great cookware. Otherwise very clean and a nice place to stay.

Great location.
Checked in about 5 o’clock cleaners were still cleaning the home. There were a couple issues in the kitchen. Counter top was a little dirty. Also, the dining room table, bathtub had mildew. the pros, all the beds are great. The location the whole house in General was fantastic. Someone should check after the cleaners.. thank you for the opportunity staying at your lovely home.

Loved our stay
These owners truly care about you enjoying your stay. They put water and towel animals on the bed. They are very responsive. The teens had fun playing uno, foozball and darts. They even had a package toothbrush just in case you forget yours. Good family vacation home for good quality time during our vacation, and close to Busch Gardens.
