A Hidden Paradise – The Perfect Getaway!

From the moment I arrived, I knew I had found something truly special. This beautifully maintained cottage is nestled in the heart of a self-made paradise, where every little detail seems designed to bring peace and serenity. Surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and the soothing sounds of nature, it’s impossible not to feel completely relaxed.What truly sets this place apart, however, are the incredible hosts, Stefan and Abraham. They are the kindest, most welcoming people you could ever meet. Their warmth and generosity made me feel right at home, and they went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. Whether it was offering local tips, sharing a friendly chat, or simply making sure I had everything we needed, their hospitality was truly heartwarming.If you’re looking for a place to unwind, recharge, and feel genuinely cared for, this is it. A hidden gem that I can’t wait to return to!

Great stay

My husband and I stayed at the charming barn in Tampa for a long weekend. It was such a wonderful stay for the two of us. Close to Tampa where we spent time hiking, visited the beach, and we went on a wildlife kayak tour. The rest of the time we hung out in the yard of our stay. The pool was amazing and warm, our host was kind and welcoming and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely consider staying in the future.

Garden of Eden

Everything about this location is beautiful!! The property is designed and perfectly manicured and made me think, “If the Garden of Eden had a tiny replica, this is it!" Inside the barn is the perfect tiny home, decorated with such character. From the minute you step on the property, you feel like you've been transported to another world. Staying here was tranquil and so comfortable, I wish I had been able to stay longer. The outdoor shower was awesome, and well designed too. Any questions we had were answered promptly by the lovely host Stefan was kind enough to check in on us to make sure we slept well and didn’t need anything.His friend Daniele, was thee to help me with my bags to check in, showed me around and helped me when I left. Anything we needed was happily provided. Such a wonderful experience for my daughter, cousin and I. Book this location...You will NOT be disappointed!

Had a great time

We were staying a few days to see a concert and came upon this wonderful property when looking for a place to stay. It was very inviting and we felt so welcome and comfortable from the time we arrived. We had our own entrance to the property and there were a lot of fun little places to hang out. Highly reccomended and Daniele was super friendly and nice to talk with. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Wonderful Retreat

Wow, this property is amazing! What a great find. Me and a friend rented the little red barn for a weekend in Tampa and were blown away. The hosts, Stefan and Abraham, were so gracious and welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had everything needed for a wonderful stay. The barn was perfect for two and included use of the pool, hot tub, and outdoor bar area. The whole property is so thoughtfully designed and build it was like having our own private tropical resort. If you’re planning to stay in the greater Tampa area do yourself a favor and check this place out. I highly recommend it and will definitely visit again.

We stayed 3 nights and let’s just say Stefan and Abraham are wonderful! We felt so welcomed. The property is nothing short of beautiful. From the rental to the grounds. The hot tub to the plants and flowers. “Birds of paradise to the hibiscus “. We feel we made new friends and had a wonderful experience. We will be back! Thank you, especially to Stefan, for everything.

A very relaxing getaway!

This place was everything we hoped it would be and our host exceeded our expectations. Stefan couldn’t have been nicer. The little barn was clean and decorated nicely. It was very cozy and my wife and I were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower. The whole grounds were beautifully lit and landscaped. It was an oasis so close to the city. Historic Ybor City is nearby and we had a wonderful time exploring the area. We are extremely bummed we had to leave and can’t wait to visit again!!!

AMAZING!!!

Where do we begin. As soon as you walk in you are met with this beautiful tree with lights and swings and it literally looks unreal. The grounds were kept beautifully. No clothing option blew our minds and is now mandatory for us for ALL bookings. The pool area was super clean beautifully lit up in the evening which definitely set the mood. The barn was so cozy like a little love nest. The outdoor shower was just amazing the bathroom was very cute, bed was comfy. Stefan greeted us with great energy which made the start of our stay very comfortable.

Loved the Little Red Barn!

Grandma and mom came to visit for UT parents weekend. We stayed in the little barn and LOVED it! The yard is beautiful with many areas for relaxing and enjoying the weather. Privacy for staying in the barn but also access to a BEAUTIFUL pool and hot tub. Stefan was so nice! We didn't have time to enjoy the full property as were doing too much off site but will be back! We especially liked the outdoor shower! Next time hope to sit by the fire with a glass of wine. I did get to enjoy the tree swing - too cute!

3 day VRBO stay

If you are looking for a getaway that is surprisingly like a small resort with a Zen flair this is the place to stay. If I wasn’t there on family business, the amenities far exceeded my expectations. From the outdoor private shower, the beautiful barn like tiny house private accommodation to the gardens and inground pool with hot tub, this owner occupied property in the mail house was seriously an incredible get away. Keep in mind there is no kitchen but you can be very creative with a microwave. Meeting the owners and their dog Lilly, a pleasure. The tiny house barn is meticulously kept and in the future, looking forward to another opportunity to stay again. Edward N. From NY

We enjoyed the cute, cozy little barn, and the beautiful plants on the property. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and the owners were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again if we’re in the Tampa area. The location was central to everything you could want to see and do…Busch Gardens, the casino, fine dining, and shopping.

So relaxing!

This hidden paradise is just minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Tampa, but you'd never know it once you step foot on the property. It feels like you're 50 miles away from anyone which makes for a restful, peaceful, enjoyable retreat! Everything about this property is as advertised. The barn is perfect for one or two people to enjoy. The private outdoor shower felt amazing after a day attending conferences or to start the morning. I just got home and I miss it already! This property deserves a 6 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review as 5 just doesn't do it enough justice! Absolutely stunning!

Relaxing Getaway

My daughter and I traveled down for the weekend to attend a concert. The property was in a quiet neighborhood with a reasonable commute to the venue. The barn was comfortable and well kept. The pool and garden were amazing. Stepping out the door to a butterfly garden added such a relaxing atmosphere. Stefan was an excellent host and it was enjoyable talking with him.
