Older house

Home has very old couches that sink down very low when you try to sit on them. Kitchen is very tiny so luckily we were not doing any cooking or eating there. Only one TV in the whole 4 bedroom house and cable kept going in and out. A/C vent in bathroom with shower was very dirty. A/C in bedroom was very loud when it kicked on. Beds were comfortable and had good pillows.

Great place to stay

I would not hesitate to stay at this property again! Oscar was great to deal with and very rapid to respond. Coming in at night I was unsure of the area based on a previous review I ready but also saw they said they would stay there again. It is on a dead end road with hotels on the other side of the fence. When I plan a trip to Busch Gardens with the kids, I will definitely plan to book here.

Good place to say.

This place had great space. It was clean and a good location. The only negative experience we had was that the smell of bleach was strong from the cleaning person as they mopped the floor. The smell did last for until the next morning after we checked in.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Do not recommend

This property was very dirty. There was pubic hair in one bed and dirt in another, the refrigerator and sink were dirty. An old used sponge was in the sink. While the owner was responsive to my concerns when we couldn’t get the air on, my children were getting ready for bed and they sent someone to clean I guess because we complained, without waiting for me to confirm. In an already sketchy location, having someone banging at our door is unsettling. We turned them away and left first thing the next morning. I contacted the owner again and they didn’t respond to my message when we checked out early. Definitely not with 250 a night for a family if you want to feel safe and clean.

Close to Busch Gardens

This house was very large and offered sleeping space for a family of 8 people with a bed to spare. Short drive to Busch Gardens allowed us to come back for lunch and re-enter the park after a break. Very sparse and plain but we were only looking for a space to sleep and eat. Kitchen and laundry came in handy.

Large & as described

The house was as described in the listing. It easily fit our family of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids) and gave us all plenty of room. The kitchen is a bit on the small side, but more than sufficient for us. The dining area was really nice for a large group. All 4 bedrooms were large and comfortable for us all. The laundry is in an outside building, and includes multiple washers/dryers, which is really nice to be able to do multiple loads at the same time. It is very close to Busch Gardens, which was a huge bonus for us. Definitely recommend this house and would rent again, if available!
