Had a good stay. The home was quaint and nicely decorated and it contained almost everything we needed. We appreciated the fact that the listing accurately reflected what would be provided. A fun extra was the board games as well as the spices in the kitchen. Silvia was super helpful whenever we had questions!

Family trip to Tampa

Clean property with easy check in and out process. Enjoyed the sitting area outside. The location was ok...conveniently located near many eating and shopping options. Older area with some homes looking a little questionable. Overall good stay.

Great Family Home

This was a great family home and very well equipped to keep children busy. The location of the house is in an older neighborhood, the drive to downtown is about 15-20 minutes away which is manageable. The host was responsive and the check in process was smooth. We loved the backyard.

Visiting family

This house was less than 5 minutes from our son’s apartment which made visiting very easy. We ate breakfast from Ricopans 3 times while we were there. Day trips to northern and southern beaches were easy My parents joined visiting for a few days and this was their first time at a vrbo. They were very impressed. The house was immaculate and well-stocked. The owner checked in to see how our stay was going. Plenty of room for at least 6. The neighborhood was very quiet We enjoyed sitting outside various times of the day.

A Short Stay

The home is a diamond in the rough. The interior was nicely updated and all stores and restaurants were within a short distance of the home. It was easy to communicate with the owner.

A Great Place to Stay!

This was a wonderful place to call ‘home’ for a couple of weeks. The host was wonderfu; she replied promptly to any questions we had. The house was very clean, with a nice sized kitchen, living room with large tv, laundry, and four nice bedrooms. The master suite had a bathroom off of it, and the three other rooms shared a centrally located bathroom. It was beautiful weather, and the backyard setup was such a bonus—fenced in privacy with a table and chairs to enjoy breakfast out in the fresh morning air.The chair on the front porch was nice to sit outside and read as well. The driveway area was well-lit, which made it was to locate. Definitely recommend!!

Great stay

Our stay was great. The property is beautiful and communication with the host was stellar. We left early because of the hurricane but it was easy to clean up and endure all was good before we left. If I had just one recommendation it would be to get new mattresses as the beds are pretty uncomfortable, not terribly so but they could use an upgrade. Otherwise, no complaints from us. It was easy in and easy out! Will look to stay again :-)

Great host! Very clean! Highly recommend!

The host was very responsive and welcoming. The house was well maintained and perfect for a family and pet. The backyard was fenced in and roomy with stuff for kids to play with including a tree swing. We really enjoyed the fire pit on the cooler nights. One of the best VRBO experiences we have had!!

great place

We only had a short stay at the property but it was perfect. The backyard is great - fully fenced in with a swing, climbing rope and kids’ toys. The house was so clean, nicely decorated and looked to be relatively recently updated. Silvia (the host) was exceptional at answering messages and she was so accommodating and kind. If we ever come back to the area and need accommodations, I definitely would not hesitate to stay here again.
