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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Soooo amazingly comfortable

This place was unbelievable. We had everything we needed and more. Really wish we had booked more days. My guest was astounded by all the necessities you all provided and the privacy that was afforded to us in the area nearby Busch Gardens. A+ rating on the construction and provisions made in this cozy and amply accessorized room, kitchen, bathroom, dining, and patio area. We felt guilt leaving dishes in the sink. Great job. We will definitely look for your place in the future. We slept unbelievably well.
