We had a great stay at this unit, as the unit is fully furnished with everything you need, is very spacious and the backyard has a great view on the canal and you can relax.The owner is quite nice and very accommodating, this unit is a great place to be at !
Deni was very helpful. The home was in a quiet and beautiful location. It was very comfortable and relaxing. Pool and backyard were amazing but it was too cold to swim.

The back of the property was incredible. The pool was great but chilly.
I would highly recommend this property to everyone been to many and by far this is my favorite the host is one of the nicest people I’ve met in a long time
I have found the perfect place to stay when I am in Tampa. My son and I regularly come up to visit. This rental is the perfect size. Good location and wonderful host. Wouldn't stay anywhere else.
My boyfriend and I had a great vacation staying at Daineli’s place. It was clean and had everything we needed for the week. Beautiful backyard with a pool and right on the water. Daineli also made accommodations for us and allowed early check in when our flight arrived early. Would definitely stay again!
We arrived a week after hurricane. Our hosts were able to get our unit cleaned up and repaired for us. Its a great unit. Perfect for my son and I. Really nice neighborhood and great location for getting to all the tourist locations. Will certainly stay again.
1st and foremost, very clean. Extremely happy with how clean the place was. Did not spend much time their except for sleeping and a quick shower. I would absolutely stay here again in the future.
Place is clean, organized, and very comfortable. Deni and Taco were such accommodating hosts. Beds were comfortable, shower hot, laundry on site is a plus. Backyard relaxing and the pool was beautiful. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back to Tampa. Thank you both.
We had a wonderful time. The space is private & the hosts were wonderful/available. Liked having a kitchen for doing some cooking. Beds comfortable! Had a dedicated space for parking the car. The backyard space is amazing!! Covered pavilion, pool with beautiful lighting at night. Close to many things in Tampa. Will definitely return when in Tampa & available.
The owners on property were so friendly and kind, like old friends. Communications was excellent, comfy furniture and the pool and patio on the river is amazing!!!. A perfect place for my snowbird 85 year old, non cooking dad to stay nearby and get around Seminole Heights. It is accessible for some one with limited mobility -- walk in shower no steps into the unit. That was key. . enjsunhomemfomonth
Deni met us in the driveway when we arrived. She was so welcoming and friendly, and checked in with us several times to make sure that we didn’t need anything. We will definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed our stay and were comfortable in the unit. We were visiting family so did not cook but the kitchen was well stocked. We appreciate the hosts flexibility and assistance.
She was very welcoming! First impressions of the outdoors of the property wasn’t impressive. Too bad she couldn’t have a fence between next door neighbors and hers… an out of commission dryer was beside her house. Sounds like she plans to do some outdoor work around the house which would be great. House was clean and comfortable.
Our first time in Tampa, and we will most definitely return. And when we do, we will definitely reach out to Deni and Kiki.Such wonderful hosts and an incredible place to come home to after a fun-filled day. Thank you so much for letting us be your guests. We can't wait to return!Hays, Lindy and Mason
This was my first Vrbo rental. It exceeded my expectations! I communicated multiple times with Daineli who was always kind. When I travel back to the area, I will definitely book this property! Thank you Daineli!

The inside of property was clean and beds comfortable. It served its purpose but would not hang out there. Pictures exaggerated outside property. Area was a bit run down. Wouldn’t stay there again even with no major issues inside apt.
