Short stay

Had a very pleasant stay. Although close to the highway, it was quiet inside. Nice outdoor sitting space.

It was very clean, private and cozy. Had toiletries already there so we didn't need to bring as much on our trip. Felt secure and the roku tv was a pleasant bonus.

Cozy, Cool, and Convenient!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was in a centrally located, convenient area which was a plus. They had everything we needed to cook meals, pots and pans and a hot plate, as well as a keurig for morning coffee and afternoon tea. If you forgot any toiletries, like toothbrushes or soap then they have you covered! For sure we would stay here again. Also they have a mini split unit inside so we were able to keep it a nice consistent temperature.

Cute as a button

Everything you could need for a stay in the area. The tiny kitchen is very well equipped. The mattress is comfortable and the layout is convenient. This is the cleanest place we have ever stayed! A GEM!

Perfect place for our trip

We were visiting people in various areas around the Tampa area. Access to major highways was really easy and the place fit our needs perfectly. Clean. Quiet, comfortable and well outfitted. I highly recommend and would re-book in a heart beat! Our host was very accomodating and communication fast and easy.

Tiny but oh so cute

We needed an inexpensive place for two people to spend a couple of nights. This property was perfectly clean, well furnished, and tastefully decorated. We loved it. The neighborhood was a bit iffy, but it was not a problem. It was located close to the Interstate but was quiet inside and very convenient to everything we needed.

Little VRBO is a hidden gem

Instructions were very clear and concise. Upon entering the property, the exterior was somewhat misleading and looked like a shed. It looked very small from the outside, however, once entering the building, it was cozy. It suited our purpose very well. The neighborhood was an older one, however the way the owner had the VRBO set up made it feel disconnected from the neighborhood. It was a nice little getaway.

Personal touches

Clean, nice, cute personal additions such as travel tooth paste, cotton swabs, and love/heart hand towels. I loved the porch. I worked out twice in the shaded area. Keurig coffee was good. Communication was excellent with the property management. I will return.

It met our needs

Property is a small little apartment. Door lock wasn’t working for us but they finally opened it for us. Location was good for airport. Only one concern is bedding was washed in laundry soap that had perfumes in it and I’m allergic. Please switch to free & clear.

Fragrance from plug-ins was rather strong. Strange stains on pillow. Toilet does not flush well. Kitchen was well stocked. Fence around unit does a good job providing privacy. Instruction card for A/C unit would be helpful.

Weekend get away

Overall, the area was neat and clean. It had the basic amenities that you would need for a short weekend stay. Had some challenges with the keypad entry and cable. The porch on the outside was relaxing where you could talk and have a nice cup of coffee, Otherwise no issues with this VRBO,

Relaxing Baecation

We had a great time. Everything was great. The outside seating was great and we spent a lot of time out there just talking and enjoying the weather. It was also essentially located to everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Great location

We loved our stay in Tampa. The room was clean, they had plenty of bowls and plates so we were able to have dinner and keep them in the full sized fridge afterwards. The bathroom was also clean and adorable. The outside yard was peaceful to sit out in. Best of all, it was close to Ybor and the new Orpheum location. Overall 5/5 and would recommend for anyone coming to Tampa for a nice, quiet visit. It was so nice coming home from our concert and having a peaceful, quiet and relaxing place to stay at.
