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.

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.
