About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Home with view of the Hillsborough River, pet friendly

Your family, friends or your group (4) will be close to everything in this centrally-located home. Just minutes away from the perks of city life, yet on a quiet dead end street with lots of mature landscaping, that feels like you are tucked away in the country woods, huge backyard, completely fenced for the safety of the children and your pet at play. The patio is inviting all to unwind and relax after a busy day at play, work, venturing or exploring all that Tampa has to offer.

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back. The host was very accommodating and communicative from the time we booked—quickly answering questions before our stay, checking in during our visit, and making checkout easy.The backyard was one of our favorite parts. It was large, beautiful, and had plenty of space for my pup to run around. The fire pit and hanging benches were such a cozy touch. We especially loved sitting by the fire in the evening and enjoying the warmth.The house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. When we initially had a small issue gaining access to the home, the host immediately contacted her handyman, who came right away and remained available throughout our stay in case anything else came up. That level of responsiveness was greatly appreciated.Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely stay here again.

Great host and peaceful experience!

We had a great experience at this vacation rental! Griselda was a very helpful, responsive, professional, and friendly host. The house was charming and the backyard space was a wonderful escape for us. It was a great space for my family and our furbaby! I loved that the area was quiet with a calming view of the river. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great yard!!

This was a great little house that put us right near everything we needed to be close to. We were at a volleyball tourney at the fairgrounds and this location was perfect. Not too far away. Right near campus as well with many stores close by. There is a really nice backyard with a small grill for cooking. Would stay again!! Thanks!!

We enjoyed our stay at Griselda’s cottage. She kept in touch to make sure we were taken care of.I had difficulty at first, with the app lock, but it was probably user error. After that, a breeze to lock & secure. Enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is open concept with 2 full baths making it a breeze for all to get ready for the day. The backyard is perfect for our small dogs and there is a large park around the corner with a doggie park and nice walking trail. Although we didn’t go to Busch gardens, it is just around the corner. The house was spacious and clean and the host was very communicative. I would stay again.

New updates, terrific host, gentrified community

My teenage son and I visited for a soccer tournament. The home is situated in a neighborhood that is going through gentrification so there are updated and well kept homes as well as homes in need of repairs and a lawn mower. The inside is gorgeous and updated. The kitchen is open and bright and the bathroom shower was amazing. Everything worked well. It is very close to Busch Gardens and USF. Gris is a fantastic host - very responsive during my entire stay.
