The house was very nice and super clean. The host were very sweet and accommodating. It was close to all the attractions. We will definitely book this house again when we travel back. Pictures of this house just dosent do it justice.
Great stay. Lots of room for a family. Nice backyard sitting area. Everything worked well. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with. Quiet neighborhood. Very convenient location to reach Tampa tourist sites.
This place has thr best location wether your going to the Zoo, Busch Gardens or the beach. It is cozy and comfortable. We are greatful for letting us stay here.
My family rented this property because my mother had surgery at Moffitt. The home was clean, well supplied with the necessities, and tastefully decorated. The yard was tidy and well-maintained. The neighborhood was quiet and offered nearby recreational opportunities at a few local parks that were within walking distance. The host was responsive, attentive, and kind. Should we find ourselves needing a rental in Tampa again, we wouldn't hesitate for a second to rent this beautiful place again.
Sydney and Berta personally greeted us at check-in and were easily accessible for questions or concerns during our stay of 4 weeks. We appreciated the roomy and cute coral home of theirs for my son’s post-op stay. Easy to and from downtown, whether backstreets or I-275, the zoo and Publix were less than 10 mins away, and Busch Gardens was around 10-15 mins away. Very convenient location overall!
Kitchen was pretty well stocked, large, with a huge pantry and table for 6. There were plenty of towels in the bathrooms and of nice size. The beds were extra firm with plenty of pillows and nice bedding and the bedrooms were roomy with large closets. Two of the three bedrooms had smart TVs. The living room had a large smart TV as well. Our only complaint would be that the living room furniture was quite uncomfortable and the sleeper sofa’s mattress was too thin to use.
The home overall was very clean and the yard was well maintained and nicely landscaped. The backyard is very private with a nice pergola, grill, 2 loungers, and a table and chairs for 6. There is on street and off street parking that is semi-shaded. We appreciated the cipher locks (no keys!) and motion sensor lights in the front and back for extra security. The neighborhood is a little worn looking but walkable and quiet.
We highly recommend staying at Sydney and Berta’s cute coral home when in Tampa!
The place was great, lovation was perfect. This house is beautiful, comfortable and the space is big. Great owners there attention to the guest is excelent.
We were in town for a week painting murals and this was the perfect place to return to after a hot day of work. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a low key and comfortable spot.
This cozy house had plenty of room, the colors where very Florida fresh, we enjoyed our stay very safe easy to come and go.
The house was very open and relaxing. Bertha and Sydney were very sweet hosts. Would stay there again.
This location to all things in Tampa could not have been better. The house is adorable and the cleanest Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in. We hit the jackpot for Taylor Swift weekend!
