Cool place!

We enjoyed the cute, cozy little barn, and the beautiful plants on the property. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and the owners were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again if we’re in the Tampa area. The location was central to everything you could want to see and do…Busch Gardens, the casino, fine dining, and shopping.

Great stay

My husband and I stayed at the charming barn in Tampa for a long weekend. It was such a wonderful stay for the two of us. Close to Tampa where we spent time hiking, visited the beach, and we went on a wildlife kayak tour. The rest of the time we hung out in the yard of our stay. The pool was amazing and warm, our host was kind and welcoming and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely consider staying in the future.

Had a great time

We were staying a few days to see a concert and came upon this wonderful property when looking for a place to stay. It was very inviting and we felt so welcome and comfortable from the time we arrived. We had our own entrance to the property and there were a lot of fun little places to hang out. Highly reccomended and Daniele was super friendly and nice to talk with. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Little red barn

Our stay was great Stefan attended to all our needs. The little barn was really spacious inside, bed was comfortable, there was a little kitchen to make coffee, tea, toast, etc. The grill outside was really convenient also. The outside shower is so relaxing after a long day in the sun. Property was gorgeous with a butterfly garden right outside your door. Pool & jacuzzi are beautiful with a sound system right there if you want music on whole you swim. Would recommend to everyone will definitely stay again we loved it.
