Very accommodating hosts!

Lee and Paul went out of their way to make sure we had a good time during our stay. They even took time from their day to drive us around Tarpon Springs and make wonderful recommendations for places to eat. We really enjoyed our time with them and using their place.

Enjoyable stay

Great place. Paul is an awesome landlord. Recommended restaurants and places to go. The apartment is small, but very efficient and the large covered patios with pool, BBQ, TV and fire pit was all we needed. Close to Bush Gardens (18 min) and other places. Will book again here.

Property as described. Would stay again! Paul said there was billing hold and I only see deposit on cc. I contacted VRBO twice and they said it was "under review" and they would contact via email if they needed anything from me.

Good Value

Paul and Lee are friendly and attentive hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed when my husband injured himself, providing us a walker and checking up on the “patient.” Because of the economical pricing of the unit, we were able to enjoy an extended stay and especially appreciated sunning and relaxing on the spacious patio. Thank you for a peaceful getaway!

Sunny and Warm With Paul and Lenore

This was my first VRBO. Experience . and I don't believe anyone could top Pauls care of guests. From booking my stay on the VRBO web site... it was easy to locate a participating VRBO space to accomodate a class I was participating in locally about a mile away from Pauls home..making it easy to come and go from his truely sunny and warm spot in Tampa!! ..Paul made sure we knew everything about his accompdations and the surrounding area and he and the Mrs. Extended all the kindnesses possible to make our stay enjoyable! Thanks for a great stay ! Paul and Lenore! I highly recommend ! K'

Tampa Get-Away!

Great place to stay that is close to all the best activities Tampa Bay has to offer: from white-sandy beaches to golfing to city nights on the Tampa Riverwalk. Paul and Lee are the perfect hosts. They are friendly and accommodating. From Day 1 and through out my stay, I always felt welcome and secure in this wonderful apartment that had everything I needed for a perfect stay. Thank you Paul and Lee! And thank you for including me in Paul's birthday celebration!

Excellent place to stay.

Paul and Lee were very good hosts. They were very helpful in giving us information on places to visit and see and where to shop close by. Paul even took us around the area and showed us places of interest. They also gave us a few different foods to try. On our first night there they invited us over to hear Paul play piano, he is awesome. It is a very good place to stay and we will go back if we visit down there again.

Tampa Florida trip

The host were very nice and accommodating. Mr. Chin recommended a wonderful restaurant to us. The Sacred Pepper and it was in a close proximity to where we were staying. We didn't use the pool due to the weather not being quiet warm enough. But we had everything we needed and a washer and dryer available for use. We also used the grill daily.
