The Great Escape 3BR 2B Entire house

A 20 min drive from the Tampa international airport this is our quaint newly renovated vacation home, in South Tampa. A 20 minute drive from Tropicana Fields and the Amalie Arena, in addition to the Tampa Zoo and aquarium. Honestly it’s a great location to get to almost anything fun in the Tampa area! And if you want to just stay in we set up a backyard oasis with a pool/hot tub spa combo surrounded by a cozy shaded relaxing patio. Paradise is right around the corner in our Great Escape!

We had a wonderful stay… this home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and really well put together. Everything we needed was already there, which made things easy. The space felt comfortable and homey.The location was convenient, close to everything we wanted to do but still quiet enough to relax. Check-in and check-out were simple, no issues at all. The host was responsive and helpful. We would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, stress-free place to stay.

Wonderful property. Had a small issue upon arrival (code wasn't working) so I called Paige and she was able to reset the code within a couple of minutes. Problem solved! The house is fantastic and incredibly well stocked especially with linens and towels. The screened in back patio and spa are real luxury features. Stayed two weeks and it felt like home. Only negative is that there isn't anything in walking distance. That said, we knew that going in so in no way were we disappointed. We prefer quiet over city living and it delivered on that. Also, everything you needed (Publix, Walgreens, restaurants, etc.) were in a very short drive away. Would definitely stay here again.

Very welcoming hosts who had left extra bottles of water, snack candies, and numerous 'comfy' home items. The 12 person hot tub/pool was the go to for relaxing on those days that we hit the 10,000 steps.

We really enjoyed our stay! The beds were SUPER comfortable, which is odd for most rentals. The house had a lot of special touches and things that made our stay even easier than excepted. The hot tub area was a little dirty but the hot tub after being a tourist all day was perfect for relaxing our sore feet and backs. The location was good for the places we visited.

Can’t wait to return!

Great property to stay at!!! Well maintained and very clean. Check in process and check out instructions very easy to follow. Great and easy communication with both owners and property manager. In communication with owners, they respond in a very timely fashion which is appreciated when you are not from the area and have questions. The rooms were well maintained and felt like “home”. Various amenities available in case you may forget something during your stay. Backyard hot tub was wonderful and very inviting after a long day! The small details that the owners/property manager put into the property is noticed and very much appreciated. Property is nearby restaurants, super Walmart, and supermarkets but car is necessary to get to it easily. Thank you for making our stay welcoming, comfortable and home away from home. 100 percent we would stay again!

Perfect Location

The home was just as advertised, spotless and centrally located to everywhere we needed to go! It was perfect for our family of five. Clearwater beach was about a 45 minute ride with traffic. The access to beach toys and chairs was a plus. Beautiful screened in patio with hot tub. The public pool being 5 mins away was a plus as well. We would definitely stay here again if we visit Tampa again.
