Cool House on Historic Island

Really enjoyed our stay at Carol's house. It's a unique place on Davis Island. It was centrally located to restaurants, bars, gas station, and running trails. It was a great landing pad while we checked out most of Tampa. Will definitely be staying here again!

Davis Island

The house was perfect for my husband and my daughter and boyfriend. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook (which I did) and the alliances were top notch and spotless. The beds were comfortable and our dog loved the fenced back yard. I highly recommend this place.

Spotless and well lit, we felt at home in this 3 bedroom. Morning coffee gathering at the backyard table was peaceful and fun, with squirrels and birds to entertain us, and small planes taking off here and there. Comfortable beds and easy access bathroom. Stay here again? Yes!

Small town feel in Downtown Tampa

Great house and the owners are super folks. We brought our own bikes although there were 3 in back yard, and the island was so close to ride to bayshore blvd trail and riverwalk and downtown. From there you can take the free trolley to Ybor and other destinations. Also ferry service from Davis island as well so you are in the heart of action. The Thai Island was our fav restaurant, green curry was amazing.

Easy stress free stay

We specifically picked this house because of the proximity of the Tampa General Hospital. It was totally on point and everything we expected. We rent through VRBO all the time and this house was extremely clean it was fantastic! The house had everything we could have needed. A very well equipped house. Toilet paper, food to trash bags. It had everything! The back yard was quiet and tranquil. A great stay!

Winter Getaway

Our stay was wonderful because of this cozy, so clean, well taken care of beautifully decorated house on Davis Island. The house was very spacious for my husband and I. The desk in the sunroom was a nice work space for him and the sunshine coming throughout the entire house. It had a beautiful backyard with a private fence and a very nice walkable neighborhood. We especially enjoyed the walks down to the yacht area and the little village with some nice friendly restaurants. Downtown, Tampa's Riverwalk, and many of the attractions was within a very short drive. Carol and Dean were wonderful host that promptly responded to anything we needed. An easy check & out process. This was a great Winter getaway vacation. We have already booked to return next year.

Hemmingway should have stayed here!

Excellent location...Davis Islands is an excellent spot to unplug and chill. And the house is the perfect spot for unwinding. The kitchen is most excellent, spacious, well stocked with everything...including chickens! As spouse and I have been traveling since Jan 14th, we loved the "office/sun room" and dining room to spread out and create our own space. A short 5 min drive to several excellent eats and bars. Also the are is flat, thus a great walking area and perfect for watching canal traffic and the small airport. The backyard is excellent spot for chilling out doors. This was our first trip to Tampa Bay (easy access to Grapefruit League games!) and the house contributed to our excellent stay. Oh, Carol, property mangers was excellent to work with.

Three senior sailors competing in 2.4mR racing at nearby YC.

c We enjoyed our stay for 2 weeks in this well-equipped home with easy access to Davis Islands' beaches and the yacht club as well as groceries just off the islands. Hurricane Nicole came through but no problem with the accommodations. Three large bed-rooms with wheel chair access from one into the toilet/shower room. If we had been six guests, then the single bathroom would be busy. Idealy, two bathrooms would be bette.

Exactly what we needed

A home away from home for our two kids, ages 3 and 5. We rented some toys and a crib and with the smart tv ready to go, the kids felt at home. They loved the back yard and all the tropical plants but we definitely needed bug spray to keep the mosquitos away. We liked getting ice cream in the center and driving the kids down to the green along the water for picnics. The aquarium in Tampa is great as are the playgrounds on the riverwalk. Lots of great food delivery and dining options (ice cream shop) in Davis island. The beaches are a good drive - between 45 and 1 hour - but worth it if you like a good swim on the ocean... would definitely stay here again. The house had all we could need and was very comfortable! The owner is accommodating and responds very quickly.

Our Wedding Rendezvous Point

We traveled from Ohio A week before to prepare for our Daughters wedding. The Garden Club Venue was only 5 minutes away. We had enough room for the dogs to run. A huge table to assemble all the centerpieces and Decorate lanterns. We walked to community pool which is very nice. Enjoyed some of the great restaurants uptown. Everything was just what we needed. Communication with Carol could not be easier. We booked a year ahead and anytime I had a question her response was immediate. You will not be disappointed with your stay.
