About this property

Entire place

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

Tampa Bungalow - Hot Tub/Pets/Beaches/Busch Gardens

Our Tampa Bungalow sleeps seven with four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

It has travertine floors and cavernous cathedral ceilings and is about 2200 Sq feet of relaxing, cool Florida living.

When you are not indoors, you can relax in the screened porch with a glass of wine. It is screened so that the Florida State bird, the mosquito will not carry you away.

If you want to exercise, you could grill a steak out on the patio, or do some clothes washing in the laundry room.

The Bungalow has two king beds and three twin beds spread out over four bedrooms.

The location is very convenient to Downtown, Busch Gardens, USF, Moffit, Clearwater, Disney and most of central Florida. The Convention center and Downtown is 20 minutes (13 miles) away, Bush Gardens, Moffitt and USF are 6 - 7 miles away. Perfect!

In three miles, you can be on I-275, and in two miles, you can be on your way to the airport on the Veterans Expressway.

Just around the corner is a great, quiet road that is convenient for walking and (god forbid) jogging. If you are going to jog, let me know so I can pour a gin and tonic, and come and watch.

We have plenty of room to roam for the kids and pets. Our bungalow is pet friendly.

We supply linens and bedding, bath towels, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, hand soap, coffee filters....just bring your clothes and food. We will not complain if you don't bring your clothes, so just bring food!

We have two excellent Publix grocery stores very near by, and Dale Mabry with it's hundreds of restaurants is two miles West. Yes, you cannot escape two local Walmart super centers either.

On a rainy day, you can watch Netflix or cable on our smart TV, or you can surf the web and throw youTube videos to the tv for the family to marvel at!

It takes about 20 minutes to downtown, 25 minutes to the Airport, 25 miles to the nearest top DR Beach pick for the famous Florida beaches. We are seven miles to Busch Gardens, USF and Moffit, 13 miles to the convention center and generally within easy access of most of central Florida.

We have owned the Tampa Bungalow since 2008, and it is a very nice, comfortable home.

Come and stay with us!





The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

I was here while my home was being remodeled and there is not one request that wasn't handled in an efficient, timely and friendly way by Jonathan and his staff. I had to extend my stay twice and with Jonathan I was confident that it wouldn't be a problem. Thanks, neighbor!

Great home, wonderful host!

I can’t say enough great things about this home and our host Jonathan. His house was clean, well stocked with everything we needed, and in a great location. It was perfect upon our arrival and we didn’t have any problems during our extended stay. The icing on the cake was how great Jonathan was. He is an excellent communicator and was super kind. We had to extend our stay several times and he was extremely gracious and understanding about our last minute requests to extend our visit. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you Jonathan!

Great relaxing get away.

This quaint bungalow in Lutz Florida was perfect for us as it was central to everything, no problem getting around what so ever. Loved the relaxing evenings in the hot tub. Neighborhood was very quite and safe. The owner Joanathan was great. Very easy to work with.

Bungalow Chapter

We retired in December of 2018. Found Jonathan’s Bungalow through VBRO. A big part of our new chapter is our dog Bristol. Property offered Bristol plenty of area for Bristol to play fetch! Our granddaughter didn’t get to visit this trip but she would have liked to play on the playground set! The Bungalow is spacious with very comfortable furniture. Jonathan swiftly took care of any minor issues, With the help of Paul, (maintenance) & Ron (hot tub). We would’ve booked for 2020 but....already taken. Thank you Jonathan and family.

A beautiful, clean, relaxing place to rest

My parents and I visited Tampa for Spring Training. This cottage was conveniently located to the Steinbrenner park, grocery stores, and the Gulf. It was spotless, and we enjoyed staying in such a clean place. The kitchen was very well-stocked with pots, pans, etc. for those who enjoy staying in to eat. We enjoyed the hot tub and screened-in porch too. Jonathan was an extremely helpful and responsive host. We could not have been more pleased.

Exactly as advertised, great spot.

Very rustic appearance on the outside but inside is a perfect bungalow. We had 5 guys coming down for a golf trip and Jon only had 4 beds at the time of booking. He took the time and money to add a 5th bed, and then of course our 5th guy broke his arm 3 days before the trip and we ended up with only 4. Jacuzzi tub in screen house saved my trip as my back flared up. Tub was nice and clean and being a swimming pool owner I do get worried about hot tubs turning into "human bacteria frappes" if water is not maintained and balanced - this was as far away from that as possible. pool water was nice and clear and clean. It is a bit tricky to find but after finding it's easy. Jonathan was very communicative, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. I'd recommend to anyone to stay here. Access to highways is a five minute ride, downtown Tampa about 20 minute ride.

Well situated, quiet, and close to local amenities. An exterior, screened-in, hot tub living space.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this cool and welcoming home. We also greatly appreciated the thoughtful attention of our host, Jonathan. A lively group of four adults and two babies, we comfortably staged our Florida adventure from the safety of this well appointed bungalow. Spacious, clean and tastefully decorated, there were ample towels and comfortable linens. The washer/dryer unit in the garage was key, and the hot tub became our evening gathering place where we laughed over the events of the day. In addition, our granddaughter was thrilled by the playground next door. :D We highly recommend this vacation property and would stay here again.

Owner A Dream To Work With

Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma canceled the trip for me and my friends, but Jonathan remained ever patient with us as we worked through our sadness. While we were not able to stay at the home and cannot; therefore, give a review of the house itself, please let this serve as a review of the owner. He is patient. He had everything ready for us. He is a very quick and thorough communicator. You will always know the status of your stay (even if you cannot come). Thanks, Jonathan! Really appreciate all you did in preparation of our stay and so sorry we couldn't make the trip. We were looking forward to this trip so much!

Amazing Property and Host...I would definitely recommend!

I made this reservation when my first one fell through. I flew to Tampa booked a rental car and booked/confirmed this house before even leaving the airport. Johnathan was more than accommodating he was fine with the last minute reservation and waited for me at the property until I arrived!!!! He walked me through the house and we signed the agreement in under 5min. The house and the compound property it sits on is amazing. You're minutes from the action but it feels so private and secluded almost like a sanctuary! There were 4 bedrooms 2 full bathrooms a hot tub and not to mention Siri! WiFi is complementary and the house is all inclusive... You only need your clothes and personals! The checkout process is relatively easy although some light cleaning is required. I would definitely recommend this host and when I'm in Florida again I plan to book with him as well. Thanks Johnathan😙
