Very pretty, clean, room exactly as pictured. Heather was a fantastic host! I booked way back in January for an April event and Heather immediately messaged me once my reservation was confirmed and continued to be open and responsive all the way through to our reservation. She was super helpful and courteous when answering questions I had about getting to the stadium for the concert we attended. Even warned us about a potential road closer that ended up helping us a lot on our drive there! Our favorite part was the dock If you like fish or fishing, you will enjoy it very much! Coming from the Midwest we were pumped to see to many species of fish we wouldn't normally get to see back at home. All in all we couldn't have been happier with our stay and would recommend the casita to anyone else looking for accommodations

This little house was a distinct pleasure and surprise, located in a beautiful tropical quiet and secluded backyard with plenty sunshine or shaded sitting options and a private dock with over the river covered table for work or socializing. Hosts are responsive, accessible and super friendly when I needed them. Place is immaculate, very comfortable, plenty of towels and pillows, and made for a perfect week long stay just two miles up the Hillsborough River from the Convention Center. Can’t wait to return.
