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!

Did not disappoint
My girlfriends I needed a getaway and this house did not disappoint. It is tucked away in a quant neighborhood- with the quietest and nicest neighbors by the way. We loved that the smallest details were covered. This space is super clean and gorgeous. There were two instances that I communicated with the property manager and the owners and they were both responded timely and resolved my concern. I highly recommend this home; you won’t be disappointed.

What an amazing stay. From beginning to end we kept finding extra little touches. The pictures and description do not do this treasure justice. I’ve had the privilege of staying at quite a few vrbos and this was hands down one of the best places ever. THANK YOU for being amazing hosts who really care about the experience for your guests. We hope to be back!

Best sleep away home EVER!
Everything was perfect! Fast communication, great location, easy check in, very clean! We would definitely stay here again. We got the City Pass for Tampa and went to Bush Gardens, Tampa Zoo (from the Animal Planet series: Secrets of the Zoo) and the Florida Aquarium in downtown Tampa. All attractions 25 minutes or less. Wonderful bed and pillows! I always look for reviews that include bedding and this one knocked it out of the park!

Excellent place for a getaway!! Probably one of the best properties that we have stayed in till date. Exceptionally clean, spacious and well-stocked for a family. We especially appreciated the thoughtful gestures of the host in going above and beyond for making our stay memorable. Will definitely rebook if we are ever in the area again. Thank you so much!!

If the Tampa area is your destination, this is a great spot.
House was clean, and everything was “like new”. Online description was fairly accurate with the exception of the office area as it appeared to be a full size couch/futon, and in fact, it was a single and not very comfortable. What is described as a pool in the backyard is actually a large, hot tub and very enjoyable. Would consider again if visiting the Tampa area.

Comfortable, Clean and Relaxing
The home is spacious and comfortable with a great backyard. The open concept kitchen/living room has plenty of seating and allows for visiting. Neighborhood is nice and quiet. There is only 1 single bed in the office which is a small sofa bed that is not very comfortable. The other 2 beds are very comfortable.

Awesome house!
This place had everything you can think of! We loved the hot tub and the back patio. The layout of the house is perfect. The only improvement I would suggest is maybe a Murphy bed, futon, or inflatable sofa bed in the office instead of the small foldout bed that’s there. But other than that, this is one of the best rentals I’ve stayed in.

When we return to Tampa we plan on staying here again. The Kitchen was well stocked for cooking, all appliances were new and worked well. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of towels both for indoors and the hot tub. Wonderful home! We highly recommend!

This property was one of the most comfortable places we have stayed..small, but very nicely appointed. The owners clearly care and have made the effort to go above and beyond to anticipate the needs of their guests. The screened in back yard was delightful as well! Lovely vibes!

Perfect with all the needs for our stay!
Perfect size for our family of 5 for a quick trip to Tampa. Quick drive from the airport. Had everything we needed for a day trip to Clearwater Beach. Stocked Keurig k-cups were a huge bonus since we arrived late and couldn't make it to the grocery store. The house had everything we needed and was very clean, organized, and stocked. The neighborhood was very quiet. Would highly recommend!

Fabulous home away from home!
Immaculate property, beautifully decorated, extremely well thought out in all the items included for your use while there. Responsive communicator and quickly resolved minor issue -- dead batteries in the safe. The sauna pool and firepit area was our favorite gathering spot. Quiet neighborhood and would definitely stay here again!

Exceeded Expectations
This house was super clean and nicely decorated. It had all of the things we needed and much, much more! They had beach essentials which was very nice since we flew to Tampa. There were so many extra touches that made this house pleasant including phone/watch/AirPod chargers, toiletries (toothpaste, mouthwash, lotion, makeup remover wipes, etc), and more. I’d definitely stay here again.

The house was amazing...the pictures were spot on and everything looked as expected. The extra thoughts were fantastic from boogie boards, to lots of robes. Several people from the group had stayed at VRBO's before and been disappointed, not this time, everything was perfect and the hosts were great.
