New in 2021 relaxing 3BR/2.5BA+office+bonus room+sunroom 1900sqft
Full interior renovation in 2021. Great location 18 minutes from either Tampa or St Pete airports. Best location 10 mins to downtown Tampa and 20 to St Pete. 10 minutes to Picnic Beach State Park to get your body into the warm water, float using our floaties, paddleboard or just sit in the sunshine and catch the breeze off the bay. Huge open back yard is totally private and south facing. Walk to Hula Bay Club or several others for dining. 3 blocks to Enterprise rental car and to Publix grocery. Easy walk to Starbucks, Dunkinâ and restaurants.
A four week rental. The owner responds quickly to issues but the fixes are band aids. Plumbing issues in bathrooms and kitchen, AC does not circulate throughout the house leaving a hot master bedroom, living and dinning rooms. Window blinds so provide some privacy but no heat rejection or sunlight out. Living room furniture is tiny and not comfortable.
Tom was responsive. Otherwise I would have rated a 0. Many things were resolved during our stay. With our effort. Many issues were open when we left:
âą No dish soap, toweling, napkins, salt, etc. We had 3 rolls of TP upon arrival forcing us to shop immediately
âą Wi-Fi was out. I had to buy a new router. After multiple calls/texts with Tom we had wi-fi the next day
âą Doors, walls and tables were dirty
âą Backyard was uncut, full of debris and so full of dog droppings that the service Tom sent over picked up 2 half-full garbage bags
âą We arrived to find the front door unlocked and left open. For four days we left the place unlocked until this was fixed
âą Blinds in 3 rooms were trashed
âą Kitchen floor laminate could cut a personâs bare foot
âą Shower hooks pulled free from walls and 2 ceiling vents hung free
âą House had no rugs. Found them in the storage room put away full of dog hair
âą Sunroom furniture cushions did not have covers. Just bare cushions
âą Broken fridge shelf and ice maker didnât work
âą One toilet was unusable. Plumber indicated a root issue that occurs a few times a year because the actual problem goes unfixed
It appears person before was a regular renter. When they left, their stuff was boxed up, some cleaning occurred, but no one visited to inspect prior to our arrival. If Tom lived in Florida rather than managing this property from afar things could have been very different. Tom was responsive, but I did not pay for a monthâs stay to be a handy man
The home is located in South Tampa very convenient to many great restaurants and other attractions. The home is spacious, clean and includes all items that one needs for a stay away from home. It even has accomodations to allow for a working vacation. The owner Tom Carter is a great host. I recommend this to anyone seeking to stay in Tampa Florida.
We stayed for a week. The house is very clean and was in a very convenient location for our needs. Communication with Tom was easy. The check in process was a breeze. Overall highly recommended.
Location was perfect for our families need and the amenities were so helpful to allow for dine in or dine out leftovers. Spacious and airy and room enough for our medium size dogs. Internet was powerful enough for my WFH needs as well. Loved the master bed so much (nuance) I want to buy one for my house! Thanks, Tom!
We were the first guests so as expected a few hiccups...nothing of consequence. The location was perfect for us...close to family, food and (ugh-lol) shopping. Seriously, good quiet neighborhood, owner answered questions quickly. Very good experience.
