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 home is on a large lot with a main bungalow located in front of it. You’ll have complete privacy as your 1 bedroom home is completely detached from the main home, but please note that there is another rental house on the property.
3. Please do not park in the driveaway, this is dedicated for the main home. There is plenty of free street parking in front of the house though!
4. 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!
5. We do politely ask guests to respect quiet hours from 10pm-8am both inside and outside for our neighbors.
Our Policies:
NO SMOKING INSIDE: Please refrain from smoking inside the home! Any smoking evidence, including vapes, will result in a fee for odor removal, duct cleaning, and furniture cleaning.
NO PARTIES/EVENTS: We do not allow parties or events unless it is previously approved by us. We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits.
BE CONSIDERATE OF NEIGHBORS: We love our neighbors and ask you to be considerate of their space! If you are smoking on the deck or hanging out outside, please be mindful to clean up after yourself and maintain quiet hours of 10:00PM to 8:00 AM.
We can’t wait for you to stay with us! We take pride in our home and we know that you will have such a memorable stay, you’ll want to come back and visit Tampa again!

Clean pet friendly cottage
The place was clean and nice overall. However, we did run into a problem with the toilet being clogged when we arrived, so we couldn’t use it for the first night and most of the next day. This made things a bit inconvenient since we had to head to Publix to take care of things. The bed was okay, but the plastic mattress protector under the sheets made it a bit uncomfortable, as we ended up sweating throughout the night. On the plus side, it’s a great spot with a nice backyard where our Pomeranian had plenty of room to run around.
