All House Rules are listed in the Vacation Rental Agreement as well as our "Welcome Guide" all rules are strictly enforced. They are common sense items but have the need to spell it all out(mostly since every rule has been born from someone doing something stupid : )

We do have cameras on side front side and rear with cloud recording. While we do not monitor cameras at any time, we will refer to footage in the event of a problem or neighbor complaint

We currently have a Kuerig and a drip coffee maker. We are phasing out the Keri's only since they seem to be great until they aren't:( The cost is too high to keep replacing them. We will continue to have them until such a time as it needs to be replaced. Please check prior to your arrival. We do not supply ground coffee.

This was our first time in Tampa. We loved the house. They supplied everything you would ever think of needing. The pool area was great. Neighborhood was quiet. We loved the fact that the zoo was about 5 minute walk to the entrance. The Zoo was amazing. Downtown Tampa wears beautiful and a short drive from the house.

We had a great stay. The house is conveniently located to the zoo, Busch Gardens and many restaurants. The screened in pool made it possible to enjoy the beautiful weather without being bothered by bugs. The bed was a little firm for my liking, but for the most part we were comfortable. I would stay here again.

We've rented a lot of places in Tampa over the years with my daughter swimming down there since she was 9 and now a student at UTampa and this was one of our favorite places yet. Modern amenities, really well stocked kitchen for cooking, comfy bedrooms, updated bathrooms and the pool area was perfect. Plus the neighborhood was great which honestly can be a hit or miss thing in Tampa sometimes. So close to Busch Gardens, easy on/off 275 and plenty options for groceries and food. We'll definitely be back!

Great Place to Stay

The house was very clean and bright. We loved the pool and lanai area. The kitchen had everything you could need to prepare meals. Very convenient location to easily reach many attractions and areas and the neighborhood was very quiet. Great communication and details from the property management company, probably the best we've ever experienced. Would definitely stay here again.

Check-in was super easy and intuitive. The communication was efficient and to the point. Love that. We have stayed at numerous renttin the past and this was by far our favorite. It met all of our family needs and was an exceptional value. The AC was a life saver in the Florida heat as was the pool. We enjoyed being able to make a full pot of coffee in the morning as we like to get up early and hit the ground running. The neighborhood was very quiet, yet surrounded by many great places to eat and visit. Close to the zoo and Busch Gardens. I can't imagine what they could have done to make our stay better.
