Great little bungalow!
We enjoyed our 40+ day stay! The house was super cute and they have everything you need. The owner/landlord, Scott, is super accommodating and responsive. I highly recommend this rental!

Comfortable and convenient
comfortable home, everything needed to cook, conveniently located to restaurants & shopping, pleasant walkable neighborhood perfect for walking your dog, peaceful, fully enclosed back yard. adjacent to the cute hyde park neighborhood. warning: the roots of the tree in the front of the house are brutal, watch out so you don't roll an ankle. driveway is narrow so it's annoying if you have more than 1 car coming & going, you constantly need to move the cars and it's a pretty busy street.

Incredible, must-stay for Tampa!
Apart from the incredible furnishings and very appealing finishing touches, and unbeatable location, the highlight of this stay was the friendliness and helpfulness of Scott and his wife. They were beyond accommodating, including helping my family out with various items and logistics and my family moved to the area from overseas. We could not have asked for a better accommodation or hosts. We will stay again for sure.

Charming Bungalow
The property was clean and neat. We enjoyed the original light fixtures and hardware in home which gives this rental its charm. The location can’t be beat to access anywhere you want to explore while in the Tampa area.
