Dusty window shades Closet door off hinges Stain toilet bowl cracked seat Bathroom tile molded Leaking priduct holder screw holes in bathroom walls dirty towel I would not stay again.

You do get what you paid for. You can tell that the owner isn’t consistently maintaining the property as some things are old or rusted. However, the owner does respond quickly and check in / out was smooth

Overall we were very happy with our stay.

The check-in instructions were inadequate, and we had to contact the host when we arrived. We were supposed to clean our dishes, but there was no sponge. The shampoo dispenser in the shower did not work. The place was old, but clean.

Great location and felt comfortable like being at home.

Our stay was outstanding. It was quiet peaceful and cozy. Exactly what we needed. Dan was polite, responsive and helpful.

Nice place to stay perfect for going to the game. The one bed is only about 6 inches off the floor. Other than that wasn’t too bad..

Perfect for me and the kids. Less than 10 minute drive to the bucs stadium, where we went to see them play Philadelphia, Go Birds. The Wi-Fi wouldn't connect to our devices, the host got that taken care of the next day when he was able to.

Stay was ok ,but have to walk about half a block thu tall grass in the rain to get to the cottage,nothing to sit on out side to enjoy the evening's, Not handicap accessible, nothing was stcked toilet paer paper towels or trash bags,needs to stock more towels and wash cloth,no dish towel to dry dishes .there are a lot of things that could be repaired,and it need pest control,he needs to update pictures on side dont match what we had,Front door need cover to keep rain off of you while trying to get in,gutters would help.

The place is nice. The neighborhood is quiet.

We were visiting Tampa and this was a wonderful find. It was only 7 minutes form our event. Very clean and quiet.We will definitely stay there again if we return to Tampa.

Good stay all around

Nice

The listing and pictures are not current. If you have the opportunity to visit before renting, please do so. The pretty red paint on the outside of the cottage is not dull and peeling, the outside walkway is cracked and unsafe. The couch and rug in the living room have been switched out for an older and much saggy and dirty one. The pots and pans are not fit for use. If you decide to stay, bring your own. The smoke detector was missing in the front bedroom and the other was disconnected. The refrigerator was moldy and rusty, the microwave was rusted, the toaster was greasy and so was the blender. The floors were grittiy and the broom tattered and old. There was mold on the kitchen sink behind the faucet. The oven was dirty. There was some type of leafy substance left behind in the wine cabinet by the front door. The chairs covers at the dining room table were stained and dusty. The coffee table and all of the night stands in the bedrooms were water damaged. There was a musty weird smell inside with an failed attempt to cover up using Fabuloso. Their was hair in the front bed when the covers were pulled back. The white curtains had brown stains on them. The bathtub had mold in the grout. The outside patio/carport was super dirty and moldy and all of the bricks were falling down or caving in, there is a large hole in the patio area that with a piece of rotting wood over it. Neighorhood felt a little unsettling. I have tons of pictures. Happy to share form 3-14-2025.

In town for playing and watching some hockey, and this place was perfect for me and one of my buddies.

Perfect place for what I needed.

I stayed at this VRBO rental with my family and want to provide an honest review. The rental is fairly priced compared to others in the area. It’s located centrally, making it convenient for activities around Tampa. However, the neighborhood is definitely unsettling. It is quiet but in a lower-income area. The rental is accessed through a side gate. It is about 300 feet to the front door over uneven stepping stones with the exterior of the cottage being a bit rundown. We had issues with getting the door code but the owner was quick and helpful.On entering, there is a musty smell, likely from moisture or mold, which did improve with airing out. The interior was neat with basic appliances and a new thermostat system. The living area had a comfortable couch and TV. The floor and walls seemed freshly updated. The first room, w/ queen bed, was very low to the ground which was ok for my kids. However, the king bed in the master was uncomfortable, with a sagging mattress and stained sheets. The frame around it is falling apart. The outside lights stayed on all night, which disturbed sleep. The bathroom was clean and functional. The toilet required a long hold to flush. No mirror in the master but 2 in the bathroom.Despite these issues, we were able to enjoy our stay. The biggest drawbacks were the smell, the poor condition of the king bed, and the neighborhood, while the benefits included low cost and a great location. Would I stay again? Maybe, but I’d consider the drawbacks.

We had a safe, warm, cozy and comfortable place to stay in during our time in Tampa.

Very private, secured, and just what we needed for a quick weekend trip.

The owner and his wife were very friendly Dan helped and answered all of my questions and was very helpful a good host will be coming back again?

My husband and daughter went to Tampa for a cheer competition. This rental did the trick! Budget friendly and had everything needed!

Great property Very comfortable nice spot Great location Parking is a bit odd but not an issue Park across street is kinda cool also
