Near family

The property was very easy to locate! Ricardo was most accommodating answered questions very timely. Our only disappointment was not being able to use the TV although Ricardo did try to solve the problem we were never able to use it. Ricardo controls the temperature and we had to finally have him turn off the AC as it was freezing in the unit. Area between the 2 bedrooms could use a lamp for more light and a grab bar in the shower would be nice. The location was very convenient to our daughter who lives in Stagecoach in Land-O-Lakes. We enjoyed watching planes take off & land & even breakfast at the “Hangar” restaurant just down the road. Will be back whenever we get back to visit our daughter. A highlight was to have Ricardo recognize us and say “hello” at church Easter Sunday morning.

great host, clean but not quiet stay

We were notified of host having a new years party day of arrival, not prior to booking or we would have made other arrangements especially with having pets along with us.. "Apartment" is clean, host was very nice,showed us the property and invited us to his party. Being a downstairs residence you can hear everything above you and around you. We stayed 5 nights, the night of his party we came back "home" around 9pm but had to leave after about 30 minutes due to the noise above us and in the garage next to us and went to sit in a parking lot for 3 hours hoping the party would quite down by 1am to no such luck upon our return. He did send a text and apologize for the noise. It was New Years, understand that... but a heads up of the party would have been appreciated. The host was a very nice man, clean place, maybe we just were there at the wrong time.

Hurricane Ian

We were unable to stay due to Hurricane Ian. When the storm shifted, we were safer to stay in place than to travel to the VRBO. As others had been turned down after we booked, we were not eligible for any refund, including fees. We were offered 50% off a future stay but feel some discount on actual stay would have been more appropriate given the circumstances. Overall, we feel fortunate that our area was spared from Hurricane Ian as the loss would have been much greater than what we lost in this rental.

Very different experience, great place!

This place is very clean and well kept. The check in process was super easy and the host was in communication whenever needed. The bed in the master was very comfortable and the space in general felt clean and nice to spend time in. There are LOTS and I mean LOTS of places to get some food, supplies or gas nearby, less than 5 minutes away. The area is growing nearby and there was a lot of choices, including shopping. Its a 30 minute of less ride from all of the Tampa attractions. The coolest part of the whole experience was getting to watch planes land and take off right out the back, while just swinging on a hammock. Kids loved riding to airport and looking at other planes as well. Awesome place, would recommend!

Lucky Lutz Stay

My family and I needed a place to stay while we were visiting family based in Land O' Lakes, and this place ticked all the boxes: clean, comfortable, easily accessible, and affordable! We loved staying here. There was a real coffee maker (not a Keurig)! Beds were very comfortable and Ricardo was a very gracious host! We were even able to see some air traffic which was really fun! Happy Hanger Cafe was a great place for breakfast and we dined there twice during our stay because it was just down the block from the Vrbo. Highly recommend for families or couples that would like a little extra space! Way better than a hotel.
