We enjoyed our stay in Tampa at Brendan’s bungalow! It was an older, quiet neighborhood, yet very close to such attractions as Zoo Tampa and Busch Gardens. The bungalow, built in 1920, was the perfect size for my husband and me and our small dog. We were able to see the sights and come back to a clean, cozy and comfortable home to rest before the next day’s activities. The upgrades to this older home were very well done and still kept with the character of the home. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

We were there for easy access to Tampa General, my husband said the drive back and forth was very easy. The house itself was very clean and cozy. Very quiet neighborhood. When I walked in the house presented itself as I had pictured from the photos.

Comfortable Stay

The house was very clean and managed. Kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms had everything you’d need as well as a washer and dryer out back. The check in/out process was simple and flexible and the property manager was very responsive to any questions about anything. The location is great being about 20 minutes from anywhere in Tampa and 40 minutes from the gulf coast of St. Petersburg.

Cutest Bungalow

Our stay here was amazing! The house was perfect for me, my husband, and our dogs. We stayed for about a week and highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Tampa. The house had amazing amenities and little touches (coffee, plenty of towels, laundry, etc.) and it was super clean (which is my #1 requirement for a stay). The neighborhood is very cute and walkable, and it only took us 15 minutes to get to downtown Tampa. We loved our stay here and will stay again next time we are in town!

Made the right choice.

Very clean. Located in a safe quiet and established neighborhood. Enjoyed walking the neighborhood and admiring the charming homes. Took advantage of the coffee bar provided by the owner with a wide assortment of coffee. Enjoyed playing dominoes on the wraparound porch. Would gladly recommend to family and friends.

Super stay!

Cute, comfortable bungalow conveniently located in the historic area of Old Seminole, only 15-20 minutes to get to anything & everything Tampa. Place is quiet, well decorated, comfortable furniture & beds, with up-to-date appliances, free & easy access to internet, cable, etc. Front porch makes a great place to have a quiet cup of coffee & enjoy the ambience of the quaint neighborhood with cobblestone streets & nice shade trees. Welcome Book on table is fully comprehensive of all amenities & suggestions for restaurants are not only great, but literally right around the corner from the house…you could practically walk if you wanted to. I would definitely stay again, as well as recommend to others.

Tampa Trip

The location of this property is very good. 20 minutes to the Tampa waterfront, Amelia Arena for the NHL hockey game and many restaurants. From this property you can reach the beaches in Clearwater and St. Petersburg within 30 to 40 minutes. There are many very good restaurants just a couple blocks away. The property is very cute and the cobblestone streets are a added feature. Would definitely stay again!
