Heated Pool, 5BR Sleeps 14, Game Table | 15 Min to Busch Gardens, Tampa
*****AVAILABLE TODAY - (September 20, 2026) - BOOK NOW!!!
A 5-bedroom, 2-bath North Tampa home for up to 14 guests with a private heated pool, 15 minutes from Busch Gardens. Five bedrooms, a pool/ping-pong table and an 8-seat table make it a fit for reunions, theme-park weeks and multi-family trips.
The whole group lands in one open room. An L-shaped couch and smart TV sit on one side, the 8-seat dining table and kitchen on the other, with the pool/ping-pong table beside them. Out back, a screened porch looks over a heated pool in a fully fenced yard, so adults can talk while the kids swim.
BEDROOMS & BATHS (5 BR / 2 BA) ★ Bedroom 1: king bed, ceiling fan and mirrored closet ★ Bedroom 2: king bed plus a twin-over-full bunk bed, mounted TV ★ Bedroom 3: queen bed plus two twin-over-full bunk beds ★ Bedroom 4: queen bed plus a twin-over-full bunk bed ★ Bedroom 5: twin-over-full bunk bed, mounted TV Sleeping math: 2 kings, 2 queens and 5 twin-over-full bunks, with the home capped at 14 guests. 2 full baths for up to 14 guests: one has double sinks and a tub-and-shower combo, the other a walk-in shower. Bigger groups should plan showers in shifts. Full-size washer and dryer in the laundry room.
KITCHEN & DINING ★ Full kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle and toaster, plus pots, pans, baking sheets and grill tools ★ Dining table seats 8, open to both the kitchen and the living room ★ Spices, pantry basics and wine glasses are stocked
OUTSIDE ★ Private heated pool, 4 ft deep and kid-friendly; pool heat is a paid add-on (see Other things to note) ★ Fully fenced backyard, so kids can run while you watch from the porch ★ Screened porch with seating, plus an electric grill ★ Driveway with room for 4 cars ★ Exterior security cameras monitored by our team
GAME ROOM & EXTRAS ★ Pool table that converts to ping pong, right beside the dining area ★ Smart TV in the living room, mounted TVs in bedrooms 2 and 5 ★ Wi-Fi at 500+ Mbps ★ Dogs welcome, up to 3, with a pet fee
BEST FOR ★ Two or three families sharing: two king rooms for the parents, bunks for the kids ★ Busch Gardens and Adventure Island weeks, 10–15 minutes door to gate ★ Family reunions and birthday weekends built around the pool ★ Sports teams and work crews who need beds for 14 and a driveway for 4 cars
MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT IF ★ You need more than 2 bathrooms; 14 guests share 2 ★ You are planning a party. This is a quiet residential street with quiet hours 10 pm–8 am, and neighbors are close. ★ You expect a warm pool in winter without paying for heat, or a pool deeper than 4 ft
GETTING AROUND (drive times, off-peak) ★ University Mall: 8–10 minutes ★ Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island: 10–15 minutes ★ Lettuce Lake Park: 10–12 minutes ★ ZooTampa at Lowry Park: 12–15 minutes ★ Midtown Tampa: 15–20 minutes ★ Tampa Riverwalk and The Florida Aquarium: 18–22 minutes ★ Armature Works and Heights Public Market: 20 minutes ★ Ybor City, Straz Center and International Plaza: 20–25 minutes ★ Tampa International Airport (TPA): 20–25 minutes ★ Clearwater Beach: 40–50 minutes

Exceptional
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We travel often and have rented many houses. This one was exceptionally clean and comfortable. we loved having the toiletries available and the very generous coffee bar to meet everybody’s caffeine needs.
Beds and pillows and linens and kitchen appliances and gadgets were all in excellent condition and quality.
Our favorite thing was the huge lounge couch in the living room. A fun place for all of us to hang out.
Communication was my only frustration. Almost all of the communications were very wordy and should have been simplified to get right to the point of our concerns. We had a new credit card issued from the time we booked the house until we showed up. Trying to finalize the paperwork and deal with wordy Emails was a bit confusing and exhausting.
However, their communication was quick and attentive, and it all worked out in the end.

We had a great time!!
Perfect for our Tampa trip!!! Mark and Aline were amazing host!!! Communication and response time was top notch. We had a great time!!
Booked this property for 4 adults playing golf in the Tampa area. The house is clean, comfortable and fully renovated. Great place to stay if you're going to be in the area. Recommended.
This was such a great place to stay. Conveniently located to everything we needed. It was really clean and well presented. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds comfortable. And on and on… it was such a great place to stay. Communication was the best I’ve had. They really did a nice job. Absolutely enjoyed our stay.
We had an overall great experience. The house was super clean, perfectly accomodated and communication with management was top notch. Everyone felt the beds were comfortable and having USB chargers next to each bed was convenient.
Will definitely book again if in the area.
What a great VRBO experience! The owners really made this trip easy. From coffee and cream at the ready to a home that was as nice as the pictures. Thank you for a wonderful couple of days. A little swimming in the heated pool, a couple games of pool and such a clean home that allows pets but you would never know.
