We were very happy with this home. I cook a lot and would have appreciated more pots and pans and assorted dishes. Very comfortable clean and tastefully decorated. Will defiantly return. A pool would be a great addition

Good not great

Cleaning process between guests was obviously rushed. Mattress pads were soiled and obviously not washed between guests. There was still a cork left on the corkscrew, food particles on the utensils, spills on the kitchen floor. Things that make you question how much cleaning actually occurred. I did ask the property manager for an earlier departure (personal reasons, not dissatisfaction with the property) than planned and she did agree and refunded me so I appreciated that. I did not complain to the property manager and maybe I should have.

We loved it!

This was our first time using VRBO and visiting Tampa. It was a quick trip for a family members graduation. We spent 3 nights and couldn’t have been more comfortable. The home is well equipped and aesthetically pleasing. The home is in a very eclectic, quiet, safe neighborhood with supermarkets, stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and gas station a 5-10 min car ride away. It’s very close to MacDill Air Force base but I never heard a plane. Gwen was very responsive to any questions I had prior to and after I had booked. The home was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I really wished we had booked a longer stay and if I I’m ever back in Tampa “which I enjoyed” I would definitely rebook with Gwen. A must when there is a drive/ walk down Bayshore Blvd beautiful homes, estates, and bay views.

Perfect for what we needed!

We had 2 couples (4 adults) and stayed for 3 nights/4ish days. The house was the perfect distance from everything we needed and had what we needed to cook meals. There is a grill pictured in the photos and we weren't able to find that, but managed just fine anyway with the cooking materials provided (including a crockpot which really came in handy!) Thanks Gwen - we had a great time and would love to return sometime.

This location has all the comforts of home, lots of space and an amazing backyard! Gwen is excellent with communication and has designed an aesthetically pleasing layout. The neighborhood is awesome so nice walks is a must. The location was just perfect, grocery stores, shopping and a short stroll to the water was all within minutes.
