Wonderful cottage with great location. Close to UTampa, the Bucs' stadium, restaurants, downtown and the highway. Home was spotlessly clean, well-equipped and comfortable. Owner was terrific, and very responsive.

This place is disgustingly gross. Rented and when got there live and dead bugs and window ac units were black and smelled. Owner said place had been tented proving bug problems. He wanted to spray chemicals with my dog being there.

We stayed for a weekend for the MCR concert and it was in an ideal location for us. We did some exploring, but we were primarily there for the concert. Just the right amount of room for all of us. The bakery Panitas down the road ended up being a favorite spot for us while we were there. The only issue we had was the parking. It was a tight squeeze in front of the house between the 2 trees. I think if the cars were smaller, it might not have been bad. But an SUV and a van made it kinda hard. All in all, it was a great stay.

While the overall property was clean enough the bed in the master bedroom was not clean and after our first night we washed all the bedding including the mattress pad. I would also encourage the property manager to be clearer on where those using the second unit should park. Finally, the venting between the two units needs to be improved as we had very strong cooking smells in our unit from the unit at the back of the property.
