Midway between Disney and the Gulf beaches

This quiet neighborhood house is conveniently midway between the Gulf beaches and Tampa attractions (Busch Gardens, The Florida Aquarium, ZooTampa), and Orlando attractions (Universal Studios, Walt Disney World, SeaWorld). The small but fully-equipped kitchen is open to the living room, the washer and dryer are yours to use, parking is off-street in a driveway, and in addition to the three bedrooms, additional sleeping is available on a blow-up mattress and/or the large wrap-around couch.

Polk City Quiet Bungalow
Our Christmas week visit was made possible due to the Owner allowing us to bring our pet Dogs. My children and grandchildren live 15 miles away with easy access to either The Polk Parkway toll road or I-4. Upon arrival, the house was comfortably outfitted with furniture and king size bed providing great sleep.The kitchen was stocked with all necessary utensils needed to create any meal imaginable.Plenty of clean towels, great lightng, nice sized yard allowing for parking my crew cab pickup on the driveway or carport.The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbor quite helpful.A great location for vacationing to Disney World, Leggo Land and a 45 minute drive from Tampa and Ybor City.A great deal and we will be back.

Home is in a good location. Nice quiet neighborhood and still close enough to bigger cities for activities. We travel with our pets and this home is pet friendly, which is nice. We will definitely stay here again when we come to visit our daughter at school.

Very nice home
The house was as advertised, the kitchen well stocked and the king size bed was very comfy. As we are older we really appreciated the grab bars in the master shower. There was a bit of dust but overall was clean. Michael responded quickly to any questions or concerns. We would definitely rent again.

Great home for a quick getaway. Comfortable and clean, newly updated, it felt as though we were ‘home.’ Quaint little town near Fantasy of Flight, and Publix Field, home of the Tigers, although we went to see the Yankees! We will return! Thanks again!

This place worked out well for us coming into town for a wedding. The ring cameras inside are a little disconcerting and the yard is not fully fenced, but otherwise it was a great place.
