The host is a liar and will updates and change the listing to fit her needs. Her mother stayed in a RV in the backyard and kept coming out to listen and watch my family. My kids caught her looking in their window while they were watching a movie before bed. Also she says a COCKROACH infestation is normal for houses in FL. I’ve stayed in plenty of houses in FL and it was the first time I’ve seen any!!!!!!!!!!!!

If zero stars were available I would! I’m okay sharing spaces , but I am NOT okay with the host mother slamming her camper door( camper in the back yard) at all times of the night with a flash light! My kids were afraid to sleep because of it. Don’t get me started about COCKROACHES!!!!! They had them in the kitchen and bath room. When I got up the next morning there was one on my toothbrush!!!! Don’t stay here unless your okay being spied on by her mother and bring home cockroaches!!

Host was very quick to respond. House was just as listed, very clean and well stocked. Close to Busch Gardens.We only stayed one night after attending the park so very glad it was close as we were very tired. Check in was easy and will stay again when we are in the area.

Our host was very quick to respond and VERY helpful. I would recommend this location for sure if you are planning to visit Busch Gardens as it is a walkable distance to the entrance. The property is a little dated and needs some updating, but overall I would stay here again. There is someone living in the camper behind the house, but they are related to the owner and available to assist us if needed. We were just not warned about the individual living back there, so it startled us a bit when we saw the lights on in the camper as well as someone walking through the backyard. Again, however, I would for sure recommend staying here and will do so again in the future if we visit Tampa again.

The host was great and the house was perfect for 4 adults on a Busch Gardens trip. Great little place to stay with everything you need. I think my only complaint would be the cars speeding by and revving up their engines.

This cozy home is just steps from Busch Gardens and very close to Adventure Island. The house was very clean and well maintained. Our only inconvenience was that the thermostat was on a preset timer, and we got quite warm during the night. We appreciate that the host wants to keep utility bills down, but July in Florida is really uncomfortable even at night. This was not enough of a problem to alert the owner, but something we wished we had known prior to booking.
