We really enjoyed our stay at Sun Villa. We had 2 couples and a single woman. We all fit in the spacious living areas. The beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
The original property ended up not being available but the host was able to put us in another property that was nicer at the same price. We enjoyed our stay and appreciate the host being accommodating.
Stayed for four days for graduation at USF. House was perfect and we enjoyed the patio and grill.Check in process very easy and communication with host was good. They were very accommodating. Very close to Busch Gardens and USF. Many restaurants and store close by. Had no issues with the neighborhood. Would definitely stay here the next time we are in Tampa. Thank You
Although the home is on a busy street, my family and I enjoyed our stay. It was nice, clean, and only minutes from Bush Gardens. My only suggestion is to add televisions in the two other rooms besides the living room and main bedroom.
If you put high value in staying in a spacious, comfortable, secure home in a convenient location, this is the place for you. We couldn’t be more pleased with our two week stay here, and can’t recommend it enough. Excellent communication with the manage was a big plus.
Beyond amazing stay. Check in and out was a breeze. Meticulously clean. Best location for everything we wanted to do. We had a college tour at university of Tampa. Went to Bush Gardens. Went to beaches. Grocery shopping and gas is nearby. We will absolutely be back.
The property was the PERFECT for my needs. I was so close to the class I was taking that I could come home for lunch! Very quiet too. Lots of room. I would come back again!
The property was very spacious and very clean, it had all the amenities required for a family stay and extras we found in cupboards like theme park drinks cups etc etc.
A cosy property for anybody wishing to visit
Thanks
The house was nice and we felt very comfortable there. The house had a faint odor of animal urine when we first walk in but overall it was very clean and we really enjoyed our stay!
Great location. Very clean. Good communication with owner. Towels were very nice! Would have been nice to be able to stream our own tv. Volume on tv not adjustably. Ice machine did my work. All minor items but would have made stay better.
We live in an RV and needed a bigger place while my 15 yr old stepson visited. When entering the place was very clean and neat. Back yard was perfect for our 2 dogs. Thr hot tub was excellent!! After putting our 2 yr old to sleep it was perfect place to relax. The only thing I didnt like the house is off a busy road so I was always nervous getting 2 yr old out of the car. Also, the house did have a hard time keeping cool during the day but at night it was perfect. Overall, I would definitely recommend this home.
