We had to come to the area under terrible circumstances. My brother was sent to Moffitt Cancer Center to find out about his cancer. We had relatives come from South Florida to spend some time with us too. The house was amazing for all of us! We grilled in the backyard and had many dinners on the covered porch. It has everything you need in the house. Sid was even very gracious to extend our stay 3 nights because we had to stay longer. I definitely recommend renting this house. Nice quiet neighborhood.

Perfect Stay

This is an immaculate, well maintained property. It is nicely done up in Caribbean style with attractive, comfortable furnishings organized for relaxing with family and friends. The excellent beds alone are a good reason to make this your "home" in Tampa. This house was on a par with the best VRBO's we've used.
