Great location. Well-appointed home.
This was our second stay. Very enjoyable. As others have mentioned it would be great to have specific step by step instructions for the pool/spa remote. It takes some trial & error to operate. Otherwise property was 10/10!

Top Notch
We travel to this area a few times a year and this was by far one the best places we have ever rented. The purpose of this visit was for our son's graduation and our stay was one less thing I had to worry about. The check-in process was seamless. The owner's did not have any crazy house rulesand we felt very welcomed to the property. The home was well decorated and all applicances were to notch. The master shower was amazing. There was parking for two cars, including my husband's large truck. Our dog had plenty of room to run around. I highly recommend this property for a Tampa stay.

Nearly perfect
This was a great house for a friends’weekend! The house was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the location was really nice. Our only issues were that the spa was not working for the first night and morning of our stay and the shower in the secondary house was always luke warm.
When we arrived to check-in, someone came to service the pool and turned on the spa for us. But by that evening, it was not working. We contacted the property management and they sent someone out the next day to resolve the issue. There were no instructions on how to turn the spa on, so some printed instructions on working the remote would be helpful.
Overall, I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great Location and house with lots of potential
The property is in a good location, next to SOHO and very close to Hyde Park Village. We came to drop our son off at University of Tampa and the location. Was also very convenient for that.
The house has been nicely remodeled. The furnishings inside are very nice and the house was very clean inside. The beds were very comfortable. The bedroom in the back was also well appointed.
We had a few issues that, while minor, were disappointing. The pool and spa were not working all week despite multiple calls to the technicians to fix the system. Therefore, the pool was filthy by the end of the stay (since the pump and filter were not running at all). We only had four bath towels in the main house. One of them had a big hole in the middle. I think the house could be better stocked (more glasses and dishes but it certainly had the minimum required. One of the four tall glasses was missing and never replaced.
The outdoor area could use a little TLC. It would benefit from a sweep and/or wash once in a while. The porch was great in the evenings but full of dirt and dust. The cushions outside (in the pool area and the porch) were very dirty. Again, with the right maintenance, this house could be perfect.

Nice property
My husband and I and our adult son had a pleasant stay at the SoHo Serenity. The property is clean, well stocked, and accurately described. It looked just like in the pictures. I gave it four stars because the vent for the cooling system which were located right above my bed to be uncomfortable. When the ac kicks in, the air blowing is too strong and cold. When it stops blowing, it gets gradually too warm to be under the blanket. Living room ac is difficult to adjust as the room gets cold and warm as the ac kicks in and stops. I hope management can remedy this problem.

Great location and beautiful house
Stayed for 4 nights to celebrate my birthday with some friends. The house was clean and updated and in a great location within walking distance (5 minutes) to the bars in Soho and some great restaurants within 10 minutes walk. The pool and hot tub were the highlight however at the time the pool and hot tub were unable to be adjusted to desired temperatures but a couple pool technicians were sent out immediately to try to fix it. Host was very quick to respond.
