The care we received was top notch. Air conditioning unit was BRAND NEW when we arrived and it kept the place nice and cool. There is even a doggie door in the dining room for your pooch to wander outside when they choose into a nice fenced in backyard. (watch them though, they can be sneaky if they want to get out). The local owners are very hands-on and take great care of the property. You are close to just about everything if you're vacationing or even relocating like ourselves. A short drive to a Publix Supermarket with a liquor store, Aldi's, CVS, Walgreens, Starbucks, Home Depot, Malls and many restaurants either local or chain. 25 minutes to the beaches and 15 minutes to the airport on a good day. We had zero issues with this property, however, there are some things we feel could use some improvement. - The seating in the living room is limited to 3 people. There is only a very small love seat and single stuffed chair, so if you're more than 3 people it's going to be cramped. This could be eliminated by providing inexpensive 20" TV's in all of the bedrooms which would allow others to rest and relax in the evening in their rooms watching TV. - There is no dishwasher, so be prepared if you have a large family to wash a lot of dishes. - The over the stove microwave is rather high, it's actually too high. (the over the stove fan worked but the light did not) - There is carpet in the living room and bedrooms....and the living room carpet was showing signs of wear and some smells. Tile or even linoleum wood might serve best in at least the high traffic areas. We would stay again. Kyle E. said...Apr 23, 2018 Would stay again Went for a concert at Raymond James, House was clean, AC was cold and shower was hot, no complaints. Conveniently located as well Brittany H. said...Apr 6, 2018   House was very nice, backyard needs work. The house is small but it was perfect for my family of 5. It had just about everything we needed for cooking and was nice home away from home. We couldn't get the wifi to work it may have been an error on my end but after a few attempts I didn't bother with it anymore. The patio set and outdoor area needs improvements. The trashcans were full when we arrived so there was really no where to put our trash while we were there.The backyard had some clothes hangers laying around, not sure why. Overall the house is nice, probably a little cramped for 6 but it was good for my family. Benny c. said...Mar 27, 2018 Tampa USF We to tampa for track meet at USF.

It's a small place for six, given that there's only one bathroom, but we knew that going in. Two of the three bedrooms have double beds, so just know that if you're doubling up it might be a little cramped for two in every bedroom, depending on what you're used to; however, there is an extra air mattress in the closet and room in the living room for it, which was very welcome and appreciated. As far as what the owner has done with the place, we found ourselves very comfortable! Especially for the price, which was very reasonable; sometimes you worry such a low price will mean low quality, but not so here! The owner made it extremely easy for us to get settled with code access and a guest book with instructions for the TV/Roku. We had some trouble with the WiFi, but we didn't investigate/try hard to fix it, so I'm sure it's a small issue that could have been solved with any degree of effort on our part. The shower also drained a little slow, but that's no big deal (the water pressure was great, so that made up for it). The drive into downtown Tampa was very reasonable, too (our event was at the Convention Center). If you're looking for a small, cozy place to stay outside of Tampa with no frills but still everything you need, this is a great option! Ian C. said...Mar 18, 2018 House is as advertised, the back yard needs work. This house is an older home in a neighbourhood that is being revitalized. The house was clean and is freshly painted. The property manager TJ is helpful and always available to answer any questions we had. Our damage deposit was promptly returned. We appreciated being able to bring our dog. There is a great dog park on Waters Ave 10 min drive away. Groceries and any other stores are close by. The yard was large and fenced but ground was uneven with a septic system and there was no patio, just an old set of table and chairs that was not inviting at all. The yard was not raked, lawn cut once in 4 weeks and the worst of it was that we had to clean up after the last renter's dog after we were provided with a shovel (4 bags full). We spent most of our time away from the property seeking pleasant places to be outside. Fort Desoto dog beach is 45 mins away, Safety Harbor 25 mins away, Dunedin 35 mins away, are all pleasant areas to enjoy with your dog. You most definitely need a car to stay here because nothing is within walking distance. The 275 HWY is very busy and intimidating so we preferred coasting down the 580 HWY to get places. We were grateful to find this rental fairly last minute as our rental in St Petersburg fell through. The weather was amazing and made for wonderful beach days. We are veteran vacation tenants so we have lots to compare this property to. The outdoor space needs work to make it a true vacation rental. Jackie March 2018 Very nice quiet neighborhood great for family's! Kyle E. said...Apr 23, 2018 Would stay again  Went for a concert at Raymond James, House was clean, AC was cold and shower was hot, no complaints.

TJ was very accommodating and easy to work with.
