Fantastic!
My family and I loved staying here. We had everything we needed and more. The place is beautiful and the hospitality was far greater than expected. We hope to make this our regular place to stay any time we are in Tampa! Thanks, Mike! It was a great week!

Peacock Paradise!
From the moment we arrived Mike was welcoming, charming, and very helpful. The location was very accessible to downtown, and the perfect place to return to after a long day at our convention. Between the river view and the peacock parade, the great kitchen and comfortable seating, cozy beds and well appointed bathrooms, glorious sunsets on the terrace...well, let's just say it was wonderful.

The property is not as represented in photo
This property is not as represented in the photo. It consists of three separate units of which two are occupied and which share the backyard and the courtyard. I rented the property to have a fenced yard for my dogs and only choose pet friendly rentals. Upon arrival I was told I should have contracted the owner as his dog who resides on the property and has use of the backyard and undergone an operation and could not interact with my dogs. This was not noted in the advertisement nor in the exchange of emails prior to my arrival. I have requested a full refund but the owner has not responded other than releasing my damage deposit for a rental that I did not occupy. This listing should be for a property that is occupied and not represented as a stand alone property. Very disappoint with Owner and Company which I used to find this property.

Very nice
The kitchen was large and the host helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed the peacocks that were on the property. Having a large place like this near downtown Tampa was s serious upgrade from a hotel room.

A very relaxing stay and a gracious host
A spacious property built in the 40's with "Old South" charm. Owner has done many exterior upgrades and lives in adjacent apartment with his trusted friend Rocky, a Springer Spaniel. Both were very welcoming and made the place feel like home.
Ideally suited for two couples, but compromise needed since 2nd bedroom is significantly smaller than large master.
Very centrally located to all amenities and sites - airport, downtown and riverwalk, shopping, golf, baseball, Ybor tourist area. St. Pete's and famous Gulf beaches only 45 minutes drive.
We really enjoyed our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Lamont
I was born in Tampa, served 4 years in the military than became a City of Tampa firefighter. After retiring from the fire department I became a Florida State Certified Building Contractor which I am still in that profession. I am very active in physical activities such as fishing, running and boating. I am a very laid back person and spend a lot of time working on the property.
Why they chose this property
I purchased part of this property from the Meyers that owned about 30 acres on the river in 1942 and developed part of the property building some riverfront homes. I ended up living in one because I fell in love with the area. After 7 years I sold and moved to another area much to my regret and in 2001 the rest of the Meyers property came on the market including the home they lived in since 1942. I purchased and developed the rest of the land and kept and totally redid the subject home. The home is a little to large so I decided to close off part of it and rent the main part out.
What makes this property unique
This property is 23 feet above the river and has a lot of windows that gives views of front and rear of the beauty with peacocks spreading their feathers. You feel as though you are miles away in the country but yet you are 2 minutes away from all the conveniences. The views are breathtaking. The private road I had to build to provide access to the other homes. I completed the project in 2008.
