Oscar, my host was very attentive to my needs and helping me when we first arrive with two trucks and trailers on how we could park then he assisted me because when we left after staying there for a week I left some stuff in the freezer that I really needed to get back and he coordinated it for me and had me come back to Tampa a couple days later and get it from the cleaning people which is amazing Thank you very much for a great stay

No Surprises! The house was exactly what was described in the listing. Very Clean and roomy for my party of 8. I did not have to contact the host for anything major, except for a loosen shower handle in one of the bathrooms. We came down for a trip to Busch Gardens, and we could literally see one of the rollercoasters from the living room window

We had a great stay at this home during our weekend trip to Busch Gardens. The location was incredibly convenient—just a short drive to the park, which made our days much easier. The house offered excellent value for the price, with plenty of space and all the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay.While the neighborhood wasn’t the most picturesque, the home itself felt safe. The cleanliness was generally good, though not spotless, and the beds were quite firm—something to keep in mind depending on your preference.Overall, we appreciated the affordability and proximity to local attractions. A solid option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly place near Busch Gardens.

Check in was easy. We got in late the night we checked in , in the morning when we looked around saw dead cockroaches in the kitchen. House was okay clean. Would not rebook that house, we only used it for 1 night before we need to board a cruise.

This house worked great even for our large group and was very convenient to Busch Gardens which was our agenda. Everyone was able to shower and still have hot water. The kitchen was serviceable but small if we would have tried to cook a full meal for all 12.

Overall it’s a good place to stay. However the water pressure in both bathrooms and kitchen are not very good. I’d book here again and communication was good. We loved how roomy the house was and the bedrooms.

Over all clean and large place. The bad part was the fact that shower handles barely work. They were loose with low water pressure . The beds were about to fall apart , the lighting in the bathrooms along with broken exhaust fans and cracked window makes the experience not worth it . If you have a large family this is not the way . Along with that , at the last minute we come to find out that there were people in the back shed or the house in the rear . I didn’t feel safe . Also Vrbo covers them for damages if ANY” and we still paid for insurance on top which you cannot opt out .Not what was excepted from the reviews .

Older house

Home has very old couches that sink down very low when you try to sit on them. Kitchen is very tiny so luckily we were not doing any cooking or eating there. Only one TV in the whole 4 bedroom house and cable kept going in and out. A/C vent in bathroom with shower was very dirty. A/C in bedroom was very loud when it kicked on. Beds were comfortable and had good pillows.

We had 10 people stayed for USF graduation. The house is conveniently close to USF and Busch Gardens where we went. The house was clean and there was enough space for everyone.
