We had a quick 3 day stay to explore the area and visit U Tampa. This was a very clean and comfortable property, just minutes from the airport...but not too close. Really great stay.
Property was clean and comfortable and beautiful. Photos were accurate. Nice location, felt comfortable going out for a walk in the morning. Host stayed in touch and communicated all necessary details.Very happy with our stay.
Jimmy was a great host -- very communicative and helpful. House was as listed, quirks with the water temperature was explained in the welcome information, and if we had any issues or concerns, we had a quick reply to our message. (The dining room lights didn't seem to work, but the two switches were just not flipped correctly.) We chose the location for going to Raymond James Stadium and it was easy to get there. Lots of good restaurants just minutes away as well. A bit of highway noise, but that was mainly a nuisance when it was a few loud drag racing type engine roars.
Some of the most stressful & unpleasant weeks of our lives; I shouldâve heeded the warning of the other negative reviews. Booked for 3 wks w/ husband, 2 toddlers infant. We didnât even make it to end of rental & vacated early, spending 2x as much just to get somewhere safer & comfortable. Host was nice before booking, but immediately combative & uncooperative after arrival. Most responses abrasive & condescending, something never experienced before from any host. Our probs included:- Stray pitbull on property many unrestrained throughout neighborhood, constant barking- House is *directly* across from highway, noise unbearable 24/7- Mostly low income housing area, many homeless people & strange cars idling out front- Direct neighbor revs engines & works on cars starting 6am & again 6pm- Things we found broken: window, cabinet, freezer door handle, shower handle, blinds, driveway, backyard lights, garbage bins, bath plug, furniture (I informed owner there were things needing repair & he didnât even ask what they were, insisted it was âa great valueâ to stay here - it is not)- Thermostat locked so you canât change heat/AC mode- Backyard disheveled & not as pictured- Floors filthy, cleaners had to come mop after check-in. A lot of dust. Food trash found under bed from prev guest.- Bathrooms use motion-sensor lights you canât turn off. When showering, the room goes black.- & finally, it appears owner uses fake name- makes you wonder whyRenters beware!
My husband and 2 teenage dtrs stayed in Tampa for a wedding. House was very clean which is always my biggest criteria for picking a house. Quaint older home with hardwoods throughout. Layout of home was a little unusual with main living space in back of home and front of house with master bedroom and 1 of the 2 smaller bedrooms sharing a small detached bathroom. Laundry in attached garage is always a convenient amenity. Beds comfortable. We did not use the kitchen but appeared to be appropriately stocked with dishes and pans. Close to interstate but did not appreciate any road noise. Would book again. Thank you for use of your home.
My stay in the Tampa Vrbo house was great. The house offered many amenities. The house was close to the cityâs hot spots. The house was very comfortable for six people without crowding each other. My friends and I felt safe in the neighborhood. Mr. Lee was a gracious host. He was always available to answer any questions.
I will definitely stay again when visiting Tampa.
Chose Tampa for a quick family get away. Property extremely cleanâŠVery quiet neighborhood. Close to airport, restaurants. Went to baseball training camp for Blue Jays (Dunedin) and Yankees. Great time!
We were a group of 6 for an overnight waiting to catch a cruise ship next day. We chose a vrbo instead of a hotel so we could be together the night before.
Overall it wasnât a bad place. The location was just ok. One of the bedrooms had a very bad mattress that the couple sleeping on it did not sleep well. The backyard was simple and only had 5 chairs to the outdoor set (we were 6 people).
The shared shower our guests took cold showers as we learned only after we left that you had to turn it a certain way a couple of times before getting hot water. Maybe a sign should be out there to inform people before using the shower.
My husband and I stayed here with my parents to celebrate my parentsâ 30th anniversary and visit some friends near the area. The host Jim was very responsive throughout our stay. There was an issue with the internet at the beginning of our stay, and Jim was very flexible with our schedule of being away from the house most of the day and was willing to wait until later in the evening to work with the internet provider to get the issue resolved. After that, we had no issues and everything was great! We felt very safe in the area. It is right next to the freeway, however we did not mind the traffic noise at all; it was almost like a white noise! Being so close to the freeway, it made for very easy access to get on the road to visit our friends. Although we did not ulltlize all of the âextrasâ offered, I thought it was a great touch with the kids silverware, packânâplay, and other things that would be helpful if traveling with kids, as well as various spices in the kitchen and a grill in the back yard. There was plenty of space for us to all spread out and relax in our own ways. Multiple TVâs throughout the house were nice when we all wanted to watch different shows. It was a great adult family getaway and will be a trip to remember! Thanks Jim!
We enjoyed a family getaway for fall break. Nice location for exploring Zoo Tampa and the rest that Tampa has to offer. Nice distance from the beaches as well for a day trip.
Place was clean and well-maintained. Appreciated having a stocked kitchen for making meals. No complaints.
Living area, family room, Sofađ with Stains dirty.
Not hot water for shower or bath. Had to purchase stopper to closeup bathtub and heat water for a hot bath. đ„
Sofa in family room with dirty Stains.
Lastly, someone entered about midnight looked around and left. We kept bedrooms doors locked to for safety.
Note. Very helpful if contact with someone to help with solutions by phone.
Thanks
Nice place, location great. Feedback on those items please.
Your place is ideal
Again.
We had such a wonderful time on vacation & this house was perfect for our family of 5! The beds were comfy, house was well kept, & right in the middle of town close to anything you need! Will definitely stay here again on our next vacation!
The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The Florida room and back yard were great for chilling out after a long day
Jimmy was super quick to respond to any questions we had.
Place was great for the two of us. Couple of things to note. Not enough toilet paper left if there was more then just the two of us. No Kleenex. Iâd say if there was more then 4 people there is not enough supplies and kitchen wear. Neighbour has a very loud vehicle and he goes to work at 6am every morning. Nothing the owner can do about that. When we pulled up the police were at the house directly across from us for a domestic. Again nothing the owner can do about that. The area is fine ⊠itâs slowly becoming nicer as homes sell theyâre tearing them down and building nice homes so at this point Iâd say itâs 50/50 split. Surprised by the note the day before leaving that there would be a $15 cleaning fee if we used the bbq/grill and did not clean it which we did not use so that was ok. Just felt that should have been stated at the beginning of the stay. Beds were super comfy and the air conditioning worked great! Nice and clean upon arrival. We enjoyed our stay for sure ⊠spent every day at the ball field but was nice to come back and have the place for the evenings and mornings.
The house was perfectly sized for 4 adults and two teens. The house has an amazing second living room in the back of the house which was perfect for us all to sit and watch the Super Bowl!
The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with the first living room wide open to the kitchen for great conversation.
The king bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Very comfortable and restful. The second bedroom was well decorated and the bed was almost as good as the king. The third room was towards the back of the house and had a dedicated bathroom, which made for a convenient addition.
The house was located close to everything and was in a quiet neighborhood. Previous reviews complained about a neighbor dog. I never heard a dog bark once. The highway was faint but could be heard.
The house scored big with my family and was an awesome home base for our trip to Tampa. Thanks Jimmy for being so responsive and allowing us to stay in this beautiful house of yours!
Loved everything about the house. Conveniently located to all places we needed to go. Favorite part of the house was the Florida room at the back of the house.
We loved staying at this home. It is very clean and truly an amazing home. Jim is an awesome host and replies very quickly to any questions you have. The home was perfect for our family and has a lot of space to not feel cramped as well. Kitchen was up to date as well and we loved cooking in it. I would recommended this home to any family visiting the Tampa area.
I cannot say enough good things about this house! Very cute place in an amazing location. Beds were comfy, the house was spotless and very tastefully decorated. The yard was a great place to hangout - it's fully fenced off around the house. We were able to visit Clearwater beach about 30 mins away and come home to a relaxing place. The host was kind and communicative. All the creature comfort boxes ticked. Great value, Awesome place! Thank u!
