Amazing House for Family Fun

We booked this home for four nights so we could have accommodations to allow 7 people total. We had ages from 16 to 63. We were in town for a concert. The house was in perfect condition. It was clean and the rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. It has an amazing pool with bar area. It has an awesome game room with pool table. We had two families there with mostly teenagers and we had a blast just hanging out in between concert dates (we had two dates for concert). It is very close to Busch Gardens and amazing restaurants and activities. The HOME IS BEAUTIFUL. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed from coffee to toaster to cooking pans. We didnt have to buy or bring any extras as this property provided everything we needed to cook for large family and not have to bring as many things. The pool area was clean and well maintained. I would 100% recommend this property especially for someone who wants a private setting for family and friends to just enjoy everything this property offers.

Immaculate Home with Great Amenities!

The Sunshine House was beautifully remodeled with nice furnishings! Upon arrival we were wowed when we entered the home! Bright with lots of natural light and a shimmering pool out back! The home was immaculately clean, comfortable beds & pillows, fully stocked kitchen, outdoor gazebo with speakers and a private clean pool! The owners were excellent with communication and had a snack basket to welcome us! The location was close to grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, Tampa bay and airport. Highly recommend this home and we will definitely stay again!

Great location, clean and fabulous!

Close to downtown Tampa, Raymond James stadium and the airport. This house provided everything we needed for a long weekend getaway for 2 families. Loved the outside bar and TVs everywhere. Had an issue one night and property manager took my call. Ranked communication a 4-star only because the electrician didn't come the next day as promised. Highly recommend this property!!

All the comforts of home!

We had a wonderful vacation and the house was amazing! It had everything we needed. I usually have to go out and buy something that the listing claimed the property had, but not this time. The property manager was accessible for questions and fixed a small issue we ran into very quickly. My family would definitely stay again should we visit the area again.

Good location

The home was even better in person. It was a nice safe neighborhood. The home was super clean and very comfortable, it provided all the amenities that we needed: washer/dryer, outside patio area with TV sitting which included outside fridge and large pool area. There even was a enclosed sunroom for relaxing. It had games which we played and a pool table. Great Amenities!!!!! I had a party of 7 and it was more than enough space for all of us. They even provided snacks. Communication with the host was great and quick responses back with any questions I had. I would definitely rent again if I come back to Tampa. Great rental. I went to Busch Gardens, Adventure water park, casino, and fairgrounds and this home was in good great distance to all 4 sites. And it’s super close to the airport which is what I wanted.

We had a great time at Sunshine house! We brought our daughter and a friend, early teens, who loved the pool and the pool table. Everything was well thought out, clean, and practical. Pool area really nice. We had good access to activities - Tarpon Springs, Clearwater and Busch Gardens. We will stay longer next time!

A Peaceful Retreat in Northern Tampa

Let me start with the negatives. First, Waters Ave (the nearest major road) can be difficult to get across depending on time of day. Second, this home is under renovation. With that said, the renovations appear to be 95+% done (missing things like a toilet paper roll holder in master bath), and regardless of status, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. This home's 95% is an average homes 150%, in a (few) word(s), this place is gorgeous, peaceful, and quite frankly possibly in the top 5 best homes I have ever been in, and second best VRBO rental I have ever had (beaten only by a waterfront "mansion" in Hawaii). The hosts were pleasant, helpful and easy to contact. The home was well stocked, and if it wasn't for a spate of "bad" Tampa weather, my kids would have camped in the pool. Any true faults with this place would be nitpicking at best, and this vacation home receives my highest award, "I would be willing to buy it." Not only do I heartily recommend staying at Rupert's Escape, but if I found myself in need, I would not hesitate to stay here again.
