Perfect long week-end

My girl friends and daughters went over to Tampa for my 60 BDay celebration. This home was convenient to all we wanted to do and perfect for a girls week-end. I especially loved out back set-up for my early morning coffee (didn't have to wait the kids up LOL) and a visit from a couple cardinals to make me feel special. Thank you - we will definitely look up this home again if avail on our next visit to Tampa!

Beautiful home and property

Sydney and Berta were very welcoming in providing us with details about their home and the surrounding area! The home was very spacious, clean , comfortable and relaxing. At times we just wanted to stay on the property because it felt like a vacation in itself. The kitchen was equipped with all beautiful appliances and cookware. Shopping area was only minutes away. We were nearby to all attractions and definitely playing tourist on most days. I highly recommend this beautiful property with all the comforts of home! Perfect atmosphere for a family getaway!
