Adorable house with plenty of space! Three comfy bedrooms and two bathrooms made it perfect for our group. The kitchen is huge and has everything you could possibly need to cook. We loved having the washer and dryer, and the backyard was so much fun with lots of games and plenty of seating to hang out. There are TVs everywhere, and being able to connect our phones was a nice bonus. We had such a great time and would definitely stay here again!

Wintering in Tampa
My husband and I stayed at the property for five weeks to get away from the Ohio winter. We were very pleased with the home and the neighborhood. Our dog traveled with us and she loved the fenced in backyard. The home is on a dead end road and the neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. If you want more excitement, downtown Tampa is 10 mins away. If you like baseball like I do, there are many spring training ball parks in the area. St. Petersburg and the beach are not far away either. Dior is a great host who was easy to communicate with. He seems genuinely concerned about his guests and wants to make sure they enjoy their stay!

5-star rating is deserved!
We had the perfect stay at this property in Tampa. The house was clean and spacious with all the amenities needed to stay for a long weekend. Smart T.V's in every room and a big couch and TV in the living room made the place feel like home. Even had an Xbox with a bunch of games! 5 minute drive to the night life and bars in Ybor city so it's definitely a great place to stay if you're looking to be near the action. Had flawless communication with the property manager and was even able to check in a bit early which was much needed after a red eye flight with little sleep. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends coming to Tampa too!
