Fun in Florida
We loved this VRBO. Quiet area out of the hustle and bustle of Tampa, but close enough to enjoy the city. The place was super cute and very clean. We had one issue, but Carmen took care of it right away. The pool area was wonderful. And we even saw dolphins in the canal!!! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony. It was close to the beach and there was a yummy bar and grill right down the street. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Carmen!!!

Nice for a short visit
We were in Florida for a gymnastics meet. This place allowed great relaxation between obligations. My only suggestion - please provide more TP. I understand that you are not a hotel, but two extra small rolls is just annoying.

Everything was as expected, except the kitchen area was very dark. Could use some lighting over the kitchen area. The over range microwave light didn't work

Great view
The location was great, not too close to the city; it was quiet and relaxing. The only issue we had was they put down new flooring in the room, which smelled of glue, but other than that, it was delightful restaurants close. We saw dolphins in the water, and the people were friendly.
