11 Reviews of Property 258692 in Tampa, Florida

Really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. TJ seems to be a very very nice guy. Thank you so very much for letting us rent your place!

My second year staying in the house. Nice friendly neighborhood, close to everything. TJ the owner goes above and beyond in helping anyway he can. Already booked for next year, that should say how happy I am with the house.

It's nice and comfortable for a small family. If there is a wash machine and a bigger kitchen that will be better.

Really a home away from home type experience. Quiet and comfortable house, safe area. Kids played outside and dog ran in back yard. We really enjoyed our stay. Owner checked in on us and offered to bring by oranges, and encouraged us to call for anything. The beds were SUPER comfortable, probably one of the most comfortable beds I've slept on while out of town, (wanted to bring it home with me). We were less than 15 minutes from Busch Gardens, and found a great diner 3 minutes up the road called 3 coins diner. Food was fantastic and very reasonable in price.

I'll start with the positives. The house is priced well for a 3 bedroom rental. You can hardly stay in a hotel for the price. My kids all had a place to sleep, and the adults could hang out without disturbing them while they slept. The house was clean without any weird smells or critters to worry about. And unlike other VRBOs we've stayed in, we weren't required to pre-clean in order to get our deposit back. Now for the criticisms. Not really negatives, but perhaps helpful to others trying to choose. This house is in a sketchy part of town. I lived in Tampa growing up, and this is not a great neighborhood. It was quiet with no problems, but if you know the area, it's not desirable. Also, the main features of the house were dated. Not quaint, old house quirks, rather just old and hard to use. The shower head sprayed straight at my face, and I'm 5'2". If you were taller, you certainly would have to squat to take a shower. The stove and dishwasher were very old, probably at least 20years. The cabinets were old and dingy in the kitchen and bathroom. The living room and bedrooms were comfortable, however. We didn't do much cooking, but if I had planned to, I would have been very displeased with the kitchen. The dining room was nice, and the refrigerator was new. Definitely a mixed bag. It's hard to find a place without a minimum stay at this price, so if we had to make a quick trip into town again, I would possibly stay here again. It is conveniently located and TJ is very accommodating, and responsive.

Cozy home located in Seminole Heights, a stones throw from I-275, and very convenient to everything Tampa has to offer. We used the house as a base to move my daughter into the University of Tampa, about 6 miles away. Made our life alot easier than living in a hotel. Gas grill and wireless were added features. The owner is professional and easy to work with, and he went beyond his obligation by comping us a nights stay when we were stranded by hurricane Irene and couldn't fly out.

Don't let the modest exterior fool you, this is a very nice, well kept older home. Found it to be exactly what TJ advertised and what we expected.
True hardwood floors through-out. Updated furniture and furnishings. Very quaint interior. Everything you need, including wireless internet, so we were able to share our vacation with friends and family as we were on it. We have two medium size dogs (40 lbs) and the yard was perfect size for them to play and do business.
Centrally located to many tourist attractions, our favorites were Busch gardens and Ybor City, and restaurants. Lowry Park Zoo is a few short blocks but we didn't have time for it. The Three Coins on Nebraska is a TRUE "Diamond in the Rough", plate lunch type of restaurant. Great food and service all the time.
We aren't big beach goers so if that's not a requirement for you either, this is the place!!! For the price AND being dog-friendly, I would recommend this over a hotel any day!!
Thanks, TJ, for your input on the area and a good place to stay!!!!

WE LOVED STAYING AT THIS HOUSE. IT WAS EASY TO GET TO AND CLOSE TO EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO GET TO. I WOULD STAY THERE ANYTIME AND I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY STAYING IN TAMPA OR SURROUNDING AREA. RON H. IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME.
