Wonderful place to stay! Clean, comfortable, and close to both Tampa and St. Pete! Communication and check in/check out process was very easy. I would recommend staying at this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!
Attention to detail. Paige has thought of everything and I mean everything. The place is perfect for relaxation and perfectly furnished. 1000 percent recommended.
We had a wonderful stay! We were in Tampa to move our daughter into the University of Tampa, which is about 15 mins away. This property was the perfect place to relax during a busy and emotional week. The home was clean, comfortable, and peaceful, and the communication was thoughtful and friendly. Every amenity you could need for a trip to Tampa is here for your use. Check-in was easy and everything went smoothly. We would definitely stay here again!
What a lovely, well-appointed home! It was spotless and had everything we needed. Drawers and cabinets were labeled so we could find everything easily. The hosts and property manager provided great communication and information, and the home was only 20 minutes from the Tampa airport and many restaurants and venues.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being an excellent guest. You make being a host a rewarding experience.
The Great Escape was a great choice for our family ( 2 adults and 2 children under 10 years of age).The hot tub, outdoor enclosure and board games were a hit for our kids. Everyone enjoyed the comfortable beds and couches and felt right at home after a smooth check-in process. Mike and Paige were responsive and helpful for any inquiries we had, and we could tell that they had put a lot of time and effort into providing a top notch rental experience. A great experience!
This was the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. It was clean, beautifully decorated and had everything we could possibly need and more. We especially appreciated the labels on the cabinets and drawers that made it so easy to find whatever we were looking for. The hostess was extremely responsive to our questions and even had a new beach umbrella delivered during our stay. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for helping make our visit to Tampa so enjoyable!

We really enjoyed our stay here! House is easy to find, spotless and homey. The HUGE hot tub was a welvome hot dip after sightseeing.
The house is beautiful and very well kept. It’s located in a quaint neighborhood and close enough to all main attractions Tampa has to offer. The amenities were more than enough for our family of 3. Highly recommend and will likely plan to stay again at The Great Escape.
This was a great place to stay while we were in Tampa Bay. The house and yard are beautiful and clean and a perfect place to relax and unwind each day. They provide everything you need to make it a relaxing, fun vacation/getaway. The hosts were very communicative throughout the entire process. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone coming to that area.
Everything was great. Paige was super communicative and accommodating. The kids had a blast and in was in a great location near the Bobby Hicks Pool. Thank you very much
Great Tampa Bay bungalow, location was near bay side restaurants, easy access to Midtown, d-town and 30-40mins from St Pete’s and Clearwater (easy drives) the hot tub was delightful, the grill was simple to use, patio had a great vibes and house was very clean n well maintained. The Hosts thought of just about everything u could need and were quick to responses to questions. Group of 5 adults, had everything we needed and more, relaxed, enjoyed the amenities of the home and area w no issues. Would def recommend and book again.
This home was excellent they thought of everything. Absolutely beautiful and clean. Great location near everything. Definitely one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
The place was perfect! Very clean, well maintained, easy check-in process and the hosts were great. The best part was the very large jacuzzi in the back screened in porch. We plan to keep this place on the list of places to stay next time we are in Tampa.
