Host had great reply times, the house was clean and perfect size for my big family and friends. It was close to the theme park and a lot of fast food near by!
Check in was smooth. VERY CLOSE to Busch Gardens! Each room had a queen and twin bed. Towels were already placed on each bed making shower time simple. There was TONS of room for our family of 7. We easily could have had an extra 5 people without feeling crowded. The only issue we had were fleas in one of the bedrooms, likely from the vast amount of stray cats outside. We contacted the owner and he confirmed that he would handle the issue. We would stay here again.
The place is nice BUT the shower heads were rusted and the bed sheets have some hair in it. We had to wash the bedsheets and blankets to make sure they are cleaned. The area is quiet and close to Busch Gardens.
Oscar, my host was very attentive to my needs and helping me when we first arrive with two trucks and trailers on how we could park then he assisted me because when we left after staying there for a week I left some stuff in the freezer that I really needed to get back and he coordinated it for me and had me come back to Tampa a couple days later and get it from the cleaning people which is amazing Thank you very much for a great stay

This house was all I expected and more. Thank you Oscar, when I come back to the Tampa area, I'll definitely stay at your place (if its available)!Thank you Oscar for being a gr8 host!
The house was easy to find and easy to get into. Each room was a good size containing a queen and a twin bed. Each room is a good size. There is also a futon in the open area room and two sofas in the living room. Overall, very good rental for our family of 7 who wanted to go to Busch Gardens (very close!). One of my daughters slept a twin bed next to a window, woke up Day 2 covered in bites, and thought they were mosquito bites. We sprayed her well the next day, she went to bed again and she had MORE bites. She then found a bug in her sheets and started panicking. At first we, thought they were bed bugs. After about 3 hours of looking through her sheets and examining her bites, we determined they were fleas. Fleas were also in the bathroom next to the room she was in and in the backyard (where there are many stray cats). We were so happy they weren't bed bugs. I immediately messaged the owner (Day 3 morning) with photos who responded with checkout instructions. I then asked the owner directly if s/he had seen my message about the fleas. My daughter was DONE so we told the owner we were leaving a day early (didn't stay until Day 4). We did NOT remove the sheets on the bed with the fleas but followed the rest of the close out instructions. We don't have animals so we bagged up everything tightly and brought home to wash. We checked out early. Owner said thank you. If the flea issue is addressed, wonderful place to stay.
