All four bedrooms are located upstairs with two of the rooms boasting king size mattresses. The room at the top of the stairs has a double bed and the room across from the main bathroom has two single beds. You can also find a crib, if needed, in the closet in this bedroom. The couch in the living room can be converted into a double bed allowing for two more people to sleep. We also provide two air mattresses located in the oak chest in the living room if needed to have additional beds. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with 2 sinks and an updated stand up shower. The main bathroom is located in the upstairs hallway and a half bathroom can be found downstairs near the kitchen. There is an amazing game room found right off the kitchen with a pool table, table tennis/ping-pong, bar style shuffleboard table, and casino games.

In the backyard you will find a large heated swimming pool and hot tub, In the backyard you will find a large swimming pool with hot tub.
Please Note! Pool temperatures from Mid March through mid November are warm enough to not heat the swimming pool. From late November to early March we do not guarantee that the pool temperature will be warm enough to swim. We do have a heater but that is mainly to provide heat to the spa. Please note when the spa is heating it cannot heat the pool. The pool and spa controls are automated and there is a control panel in the lanai to turn the spa on and off. The controls can also be operated remotely by owner/host. Though we do our best to maintain the pool temperature to 82 degrees during the winter months we cannot guarantee that we can achieve that temp. Since we do not advertise this as a heated pool, there are no refunds for the pool not reaching a specific temperature. We also, have a swimming pool basketball hoop, mini golf, a slightly raised deck with chairs, table and umbrella to shade you from the sun along with two deck lounge chairs. We also have an enclosed lanai with seating as well as a chess/checkers table for those chess and checkers lovers. Here you will also find the gas bbq cast iron griddle that you are able to use. We look forward to hosting you, your friends and family, as you enjoy our great city of Tampa.

Nice amenities, good location
Great communication with owners! Checking in was seamless and we were able to arrive a little earlier than standard time. Location is great and the house had a ton of amenities. The only thing that could have been done prior to our arrival was mowing the lawn. The front yard was definitely several inches high.

Family Time
We had a great time in Florida. The home had all the things needed to spend time with family. The children loved the pool and the game room. The host made sure the home had items that were accessible and available for use in all areas of the home. Also, the host was very welcoming and attentive. I would stay ar there home again.

Wonderful week stay!
My friends and I wanted to take a trip to hang out and have fun before some of us had to go back to school. This place was the perfect spot for our getaway! We spent a lot of time in the pool and the game room. The house was also very clean and the girls really appreciated the complimentary makeup wipes! We all had a great time, and we will definitely be looking to stay here whenever we visit Tampa again.

Graduation and Relaxation
We rented this house to celebrate our daughter graduating from the University of Tampa and the house did not disappoint. There was plenty of room for all the family that traveled into town. We all enjoyed the pool, mini golf and the game room. The house is well stocked and very well maintained. Stan and Julie were accommodating and very responsive with questions. Thank you again!!

Had a good time
Took our son, daughter & son in law plus 3 grandkids (twins age 2 1/2 and 7 mos old baby). Went to Busch Gardens in the morning, enjoyed the pool after naps and enjoyed the whirlpool after the kids went to bed. Nice place, good playground around the corner as well as being close to Walmart for grocery items. House was clean & well stocked with everything we needed. Made pancakes on the grill for breakfast and hamburgers & hot dogs for dinner one evening. Good communication for check in & out, etc.

Communication was great, clean, good location; I wish I had known about rules and tolls
Clean home, lots of space, easy access to lots of places- just be ready to pay tolls. We were attending a a women’s conference at the Marriott at Tampa Airport. We also were Able to hit the beach in St. Petersburg in an hours drive. The owners were very engaging and responsive. The home met our needs; we weren’t partying but I was disappointed by all of the rules sent to me after we checked in. I need the hot tub for my back, couldn’t use it b/c it was cold when I would return at 9:45pm from the conference; it automatically shuts off at 10 and doesn’t turn on until 8am. We had hoped to have some discussions about meetings at the house after we had our sessions, but only registered guests allowed. If these rules were posted on web site then I missed it. I get respecting the neighbors, but I hate that other people have ruined it for responsible adults who just want to sit quietly in a hot tub or talk by the pool. I haven’t been to Tampa in 20 years and was surprised by all of the toll roads. They bill your tag- if you have a rental car there is usually a large convenience fee if you aren’t prepared. I know this has nothing to do with owners- just a heads up if you read this.

Had to leave halfway through our stay
I have always been honest when reviewing properties. I have yet to write a bad review. But, unfortunately, this is a bad one. The house was nice at first. The house could have been much cleaner. This brings me to the most important review of our stay. On night two we found a cockroach. We only saw it because we dropped a piece of popcorn on the rug. My husband was reaching to grab it and the biggest cockroach I have ever seen in my entire life grabbed it and backed up under the couch. My husband lifted the couch. We found two more, they ran into a light socket behind the couch. We were able to kill the popcorn thief. So I immediately message the owner, which responded fairly quickly. She responded by basically saying they have never had them there before. She said they have regular pest control. She said this 3 or 4 times. She also said that she did not think they were roaches, that they were most likely water bugs. I assure you that is not what these were. It is also very hurtful that she insinuated I may be lying. So, the next morning I was upstairs in the master bedroom and a cockroach crawled between my legs as I was standing by my suitcase. That was open and on the floor! I had to wash my suitcase and all of the clothes. My husband killed it after it hid behind the table. Again, I messaged her and she said that pest control could not come until AFTER our stay! She did say that we should do whatever we are comfortable with. So, we left. She did refund the remaining 3 days that we would not be staying on her property. But we had to get last-minute lodging. For two families. So our refund didn't even come close to covering three nights in two hotel rooms last minute. We went to Florida for my son's 12th birthday and my 31st. I cried as we were leaving because this was not how our vacation should have been. Unfortunately, this review does not allow pictures to be submitted or I would post the pictures I have of the cockroaches.

My family of 8 stayed here and it was perfect in every way. The location is a nice quite neighborhood, that is really centrally located to beaches, activities, food, you name it. We were able to go where we wanted within a short drive. When we stayed in to just relax the game room and pool kept everyone entertained. Beds are comfortable and has plenty of room. Loved everything about this house and look forward to coming back again.

These owners are incredible
We got to the property and I cried it was so nice. A beautiful pool, mini golf, lanai outside. All the bathroom were big with lots of storage for toiletries (a must for women or whatever your gender) and TONS of games and playthings for the kids. There was so many toys we had to hide them because we were afraid they would get lost. The pool area had pool toys, life vests, and a high lock to the pool area so little ones couldn't wander out and get hurt. The beds were comfy and we all slept like rocks every night. The one snafu we had was they had this fabulous motion sensor faucet in the kitchen that suddenly went on the fritz. The water wouldnt stop running. I got under the sink (I am handy) and shut off the cold water, and tried to take the batteries out but I couldnt get the hot water off ( the owner is a burly man and he must have tightened it, yikes) I was panicking that this water was going to be running all day, and was running around looking for the main shut off to the whole house when I called the host (he left his number) He answered as I was freaking out and he was there in like 5 minutes and fixed it. He was so nice and pleasant. I also accidently sent a package to the house after I left and this nice host delivered it to my inlaws around the corner. You couldnt ask for better hosts. The location is so convenient as well, there is a Walmart within walking distance, and the neighborhood is friendly and very well-maintained. Don't think twice, just stay here. You don't even need to leave the house to have a good time. We spent all our time in the pool, cooking (loved the grill!) , playing games, and catching up with family, we didn't even go anywhere, just enjoyed the warm weather and the fabulous amenities.

This is a great house for a larger group. We had 8 adults and we all slept comfortably. Walmart and target less than 1 mile away. The hot tub and pool were amazing as well as the game room. We had a little trouble with the TV but no big deal, I’m not in Florida to watch TV. We had some trouble with the hot tub but the property owner was over there in 10 minutes and he fixed it right up for us. Overall such a good experience. Would definitely book again.
