☆Neighborhood
This is a working class, urban, diverse neighborhood. This home IS NOT for you if you re used to staying in the suburbs or only feel safe in the suburbs. It s comprised primarily of one-bedroom apartments on the whole street. Neighbors are retired military, USF student, caretaker to name a few. All the neighbors are very friendly.
The house is really close to Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, USF, and
Moffitt Cancer Center, and MOSI.
I would call this a quieter street, but it s still an urban area. For example, you made your kids playing or dogs barking, there are schools, park, and walking trail within walking distance, so sometimes you ll see kids walking home from school or a few teenagers walking to the basketball court at the park.
☆House Rules
- The 4 inch memory foam topper requires a waterproof cover that s located in the bedroom closet when using to protect it from stains and to keep it sanitary. This is a custom-made topper so please make sure you put the cover on it to protect it.
- Late check out past 11 a.m. will incur a $75 fee taken out of the deposit unless late check-out is agreed upon in the Airbnb app. If no communication and no signs of leaving police will be called to remove the guest at 12pm as other guest check-in at 4 and we need time to clean the home. I apologize if this sounds harsh but we ve had people that did not want to leave. I think it s probably because the beds are so comfortable:)
- Bathroom has a marble countertop so it scratches and stains very easy. Please don’t put anything abrasive on the counter including metal cans.
- ID will be required when checking in and only the guests on reservation will be allowed
- We use very high-end sheets at our cost of $250 a set so excessive stains or non-removable stains/burns will be charged a fee. Please do not iron on the sheets.
- Please use The Cutting Board to avoid cutting the counters up.
- Leaving the door open will make the home hot & possibly freeze up the AC.
- There are two designated parking spaces in front of each unit. Any visitors have to park in the grass on the other side of the street.
- No parties are allowed
- Guests are allowed to have people over to visit with prior notice
- Only toilet paper in toilets as we re on a septic. Please no food or grease down the sink drain it will clog the first time it’s done and requires a plumber to fix.
- No smoking including e-cigarettes in home. The recirculation system will recirculate to other apartments. Deposit will be forfeited if home is smoked in.
-No illegal drugs, we have law enforcement friends and family, they will be called immediately.
- After 10 p.m. please be respectful and keep TV s or any other noise to a minimum.
- No loud blaring music
- If outdoors on the patios please no yelling, loud talking, music during night hours 9pm-9am est.
- House rules are expected to be followed. If any house rules are being broken we will contact you through Homeaway to let you know. If it continues will ask the guests to leave with no refund.
- Please treat the home as if it was your own and any questions please don t hesitate to ask:)

Such a great rental. Comfortable beds and convenient location. Loved the decor. Would definitely stay again!
This unit was perfect for our needs. So quite and easy to get to. The deco was beautiful. The owner has done an amazing job to make everything seem brand new. The bed......was so comfortable!!! Glad we found this one!!
We found it to be perfect for us. The apartment had everything we needed and whenever we saw Jason he asked if we needed anything. When there was a short power outage, he even texted us on the reason and we sure appreciated it. Really cute place.
Jason was a wonderful host-quickly answering all our questions and being at the rental to show us around. The rental was very clean and had a definite beach theme-very nicely decorated. Also there were snacks, cleaning supplies, lots of movies, and everything set up to make for an enjoyable stay.
Jason is an excellent manager and made our visit special. He is also Avery special human being . Thanks Jason
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon, and we loved it! The rental is very nicely decorated and well-kept. Jason is extremely professional and friendly, and even had flowers waiting for us on our arrival. The unit is very well stocked with any kitchen or bathroom supplies you could possibly need. The price was also amazing, and we definitely found the best deal for our dollar. We had no issues whatsoever, and would definitely stay here again.
The property was very clean, which is my number one priority. It was decorated with a beach theme, very nice. It had a directory with important numbers and attractions near by. This property offered free laundry with 1 week or more stay. The owner, Jason was very friendly and accommodating. He went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable.
