Met Our Needs

To be honest we basically just used the house as a place to shower and sleep. We didn't hang out there much at all. However, getting to downtown Tampa and to the airport were both really easy and there were plenty of amenities close.

Quiet, beautiful location in Tampa

We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms had body wash, shampoo and conditioner. This was a nice bonus, since we traveled with personal item- sized bags. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood, perfect for evening walks. The patio in back was nice for having morning or evening drinks. Host was quick to respond to questions.

Florida Snowbird stay

Nice central location near McDill AFB but very quiet. Close to all Tampa tourist attractions. House was clean, quite well stocked and set up well for our 2 week stay. Property manager was easy to work with and responsive through VRBO e-mails.

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.
