Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad to hear the home was relaxing for the adults and kept the kids entertained too. That balance is exactly what we hope to offer. We’d love to host you again in the future 😊
The host was very welcoming with great communication. The house was beautiful, a couple of things could have been better, but nothing that affected our enjoyment of our vacation. Would definitely consider coming back.

Thank you so much for your review and feedback, Charlene. We’re glad you felt welcomed and enjoyed your stay overall. We’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in the area!
The house was perfect for us. We went down for a bachelor party and this location was in the middle of everything we were doing from our round of golf, going down to St. Pete's, a nice dinner at a steak house, and the casino. The host was incredibly communicative with any questions we had and the house was perfect. We all enjoyed time out in the back yard with the pool and hot tub. I highly recommend this home for your next stay in Tampa.
I enjoyed the stay with my friends. Loved the amenities of the house. No complaints.

Very nice and comfortable house and looks like it was newly renovated. We had fun in the pool and did some fishing. The property is very close to anything you needed or wanted to do. Tampa is a nice city and plenty of things to do. There were plentty of beds for everyone. Definately a 5 star property. We stayed 6 days.

We appreciate your kind words and 5-star rating—you're welcome back anytime!
We had a wonderful stay at the Cocoon Island Villa. We had a small gathering of friends over the weekend where were close to all sorts of top notch dining, golf, boating, entertainment and shopping! The property is breathtaking, and comfortable. Fun activities strewn about the house as well as the pool and back deck made sure there was never a dull moment. Thanks for a great experience!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are thrilled tha you had a wonderful stay, and enjoyed all what the house has to offer. Hope we'll get the opportunity to host you again in the future.
We had a nice stay overall, but the house definitely feels a bit tired and in need of some attention. There were several issues that impacted our experience. We noticed roaches during our stay, which was unsettling, and the hot tub was in need of a thorough cleaning. The outdoor area was generally unkempt—leaves and landscaping looked neglected and could really use some upkeep.The grill wouldn’t light properly or heat evenly, which made cooking difficult. Inside, there were no dressers in any of the bedrooms, very few hangers, and not nearly enough paper products or garbage bags provided. For a group of ten, the dining table only seated six, and the stools at the counter were too short to be functional.Recreational amenities were also lacking—pool sticks didn’t have tips, and the fishing poles didn’t work. While the location was convenient and we did enjoy our time together, the home needs some basic maintenance and a little TLC to match the expectations set by the listing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that parts of your stay didn’t meet expectations, and we really appreciate you pointing out the areas that need attention. We’re actively working with our team to address the issues you mentioned — including pest control, hot tub cleaning, outdoor maintenance, and updating the grill and recreational amenities.
Regarding the bugs, we understand how unsettling that can be. In Florida, especially in homes near water, palmetto bugs can occasionally make their way inside — particularly when doors are left open. We do have regular pest control in place, but we’ll be sure to follow up again to reinforce treatment.
It’s important to us that our home is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and your feedback helps us improve. We’re glad you still enjoyed your time together and appreciated the convenient location. Thank you again for the honest and constructive review — it truly helps us grow.
