Heated Pool & Spa, Sleeps 8, South Tampa | 5 Min to MacDill AFB

A 2-bedroom, 1-bath South Tampa home for up to 8, with a heated saltwater pool and spa in a private fenced yard. MacDill AFB is 5 minutes away, downtown Tampa about 15 and the airport about 20.



The living room, dining area and kitchen share one open layout. A plush sectional faces a 70-inch TV, and a wooden dining table with bench seating holds six. That table doubles as the games table, converting to ping pong and pool. Out back, a fenced yard holds the heated saltwater pool, the spa, patio seating and a gas grill.



BEDROOMS & BATHS (2 BR / 1 BA)

★ Bedroom 1 (primary): king bed, soft linens, Samsung smart TV

★ Bedroom 2 (family room): queen bed and a bunk bed, Samsung smart TV

★ Living room: sleeper sofa for 2

Beds for 8: king 2, queen 2, bunk 2, sleeper 2. One full bathroom with a tub/shower combination serves all 8 guests. Fresh towels and toiletries are provided.



KITCHEN & DINING

★ Modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and marble-style countertops

★ Cookware, dishes and utensils provided; just bring the ingredients

★ Wooden dining table with bench and chair seating for up to 6, under a bright window



OUTSIDE

★ Private heated saltwater pool (heating is an optional add-on, $35 per night)

★ Spa area with jets, heated only when pool heating is added; it is a relaxation spot, not a traditional hot tub

★ Fully fenced backyard with patio seating and lush greenery

★ Gas grill for outdoor dinners



GAMES & EXTRAS

★ Dining table that converts to a ping-pong and pool table

★ 70-inch TV in the living room; Samsung smart TVs in both bedrooms

★ 1 Gig internet for video calls and streaming

★ Washer and dryer



BEST FOR

★ MacDill AFB TDY and PCS house-hunting trips, 5 minutes from the gate

★ Medical stays and work trips: fast internet, a full kitchen, laundry and a quiet street

★ Small families: the kids take the queen-and-bunk room, parents get the king

★ Weekend swims and Bucs or Lightning games; Amalie Arena is 10–16 minutes



MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT IF

★ You need more than one bathroom; 8 guests share a single tub/shower bath

★ You expect a hot tub; the spa only warms when pool heating ($35 per night) is added, and it is not a full hot tub

★ You are planning a party or event; this is a quiet residential street
