Home was as described. Upon arrival the home was neat, clean and comfortable. It was close to downtown and all attractions. I had one issue with the door code before arrival and the host was super responsive and the issue was resolved in minutes. I would definitely recommend and I would certainly stay here again. Arron was a great host.

The home is in a nice and very convenient neighborhood. It is quiet and very close to a big park. The house is spacious and was clean. The towels as well as the couch in the living room were a bit worn and could use replacing. Owner was available and easy to contact.

Home close to the city

We needed a place to stay 4 nights while our house was getting some work done. This was the perfect place for a family of 4 that included toddlers and dogs. The house had all the creature comforts and a nice sized backyard, but wished there was a dish washer. Bonus for being next to a park with a shaded playground, dog run basketball and pickle ball courts. The neighborhood was safe and close to downtown and River Walk. Would stay again!

3 ladies weekend stay

The communication with the property managers was excellent -- from directions to the house and entry procedure to help when I left an item behind on check out day. The house is a tidy, cozy ranch style house in a quiet neighborhood. You walk into a large room with a table to one side and living room on the other. The kitchen completes the entry. Down a hallway are the bedrooms which were clean and comfortable. One full bathroom off the hallway and one in the master bedroom gave us plenty of room to get ready in the mornings. It seemed to be a quick drive to everything we wanted to do (downtown, Zoo, trader joes, mall, expressway). We found many good places to eat within a short drive from the house. We didn't use the backyard (table, chairs, grill). However, at the end of the street were pickelball courts that were alway busy. We should have brought our paddles! If you are looking for a convenient and pleasant place to stay in Tampa, we would recommend it.

Wonderful family-friendly oasis in a great location!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful bungalow. It was the perfect mix of zen and cozy. The decor is so lovely. Definitely a family friendly space. Working laundry and AC. Functional and spacious kitchen. Super comfortable beds. The location was perfect--near restaurants and Hyde Park, playgrounds, grocery stores, and the waterfront---but still very quiet and secluded. Everything was super clean. Aaron was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again if we're back in Tampa!

Pleasant Little Home

Yes, we would stay here again! Home was well stocked, plenty of paper products and soaps at each sink and bath. Home is situated near downtown Tampa and Hyde Park, making it an ideal rental for us during our stay. Neighborhood, is older but going through a renewal process but felt safe and even met the neighbor next door who was pleasant and friendly. Only a few negatives: 1. backyard didn't have much grass, mostly weeds, 2. one side of the backyard was blocked by some old wood panels that should be cleaned up to avoid a tripping incident, 3. Middle bathroom had a terrible odor coming out of the shower drain. 4. House on one side appeared to be abandoned which had a back yard pool that was filled with very dirty/algae water which may explain why we had some serious mosquitos problems during our stay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
