Busch Gardens Pride Rock So Close to Everything!!

“The host is excellent; however, the house is not as described. It is a 32-minute walk to the Busch Gardens guest entrance, and the home comfortably sleeps 6 people, or 7 at most with the provided air mattress. The air mattress only fits in the master closet or living room. The couch is not suitable for sleeping, two of the mattresses are sinking in, and on the third mattress you can feel the springs.”

Fabulous home. Has everything we needed and then some! Host was very communicative and easy to work with. Lots of towels available. AC was good and cold. They had several condiments in the kitchen—-which is rare in a rental. Very close to restaurants and Busch gardens.

Everything was absolutely perfect! Most of all the host was very pro active, and hospitable, gave us lots of tips in the vicinity and also made our check in and out process very smooth! Had very clear instructions! We had a great time! The Air Condition was perfectly working for the weather and we were comfortable! Everything was clean and the bedding was extremely comfortable and gave us a good night sleep! The vibes of the home by Itself was great! Bless the host and the home for our beautiful stay!

Joel was great to work with and very good with communications and suggestions of places to eat and visit. Very close to Busch Gardens.

Joel was an incredibly kind and helpful host. Communication was great and he truly went out of his way to be accommodating, which I really appreciated.However, the property itself did not meet our expectations. While I completely understand and am fine with an older property, we did run into some concerns. Some of the dishes appeared to be dirty, which was disappointing when trying to prepare food.The biggest issue for us was the location. The surrounding area did not feel like a great neighborhood to us. The house across the street had bars on the windows, and at night it was quite loud with a lot of people walking by and talking loudly down the street.Because of this, even though we had booked two nights, we actually decided to head home after the first night once our competition was finished instead of staying the second night.Joel himself was wonderful and very kind, but due to the cleanliness concerns and the location, we personally would not choose to stay here again. I do wish previous reviews had mentioned more about the surrounding area so we could have made a more informed decision..

Joel was an excellent host—leaving clear instructions and giving us suggestions of things to do and places to eat while in Tampa.

Joel was very helpful; he gave us great advice in getting the CityPASS to a few of the attractions and saved us money.

Our host was fantastic and the house all everything we need for a great stay!

Everything worked and the place was clean, the neighborhood was a bit of a worry but nothing happened.

Joel was a wonderful host. The house is located right next to Busch Gardens, which made visiting the park extremely convenient. It’s also close to everything we needed. As a small suggestion, a few kitchen upgrades would make the stay even better. I ended up purchasing some ceramic bowls during my stay to enjoy my comfort food. Thank you, Joel, for your hospitality—we had a great stay!

Location, location, location. It was clean. Any issues they were taken care of Immediately.

Joel, our host, was very thorough, very accommodating to some specific requests. The house was as advertised; clean and spacious enough for 3 guys. The coffee and water availability was icing on the cake!! Would return for a longer stay next time.

Clean home. Had everything we needed. Communication with host was excellent. Answered our questions and addressed our concern. Home location relieved some our our stress due to it being so closed to McKinley Hospital (about 1.5 miles).

Very cute little house with a great floor plan! Everything was clean and the host was very helpful. House instructions were easy to follow. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Everything was beautifully! Smelled amazing! And very comfortable home!Joel was very attentive and gave us all the good spots to go to!

Home was ok. Older home. Comfortable. Easy to get to Busch and various restaurants. The home did have cable in living room and master bedroom. No tvs in other bedrooms. Ac worked great.

We travelled to Tampa to watch our daughter play in the Tropical 7s Rugby Tournament. We were close to everything we needed and Joel was a fantastic host. Recommendations on things to do, food and on how to enjoy our down time were very appreciated. House created an atmospbere for us and our adult kids to reconnect and just be together with space and all the comforts of home. We wull definately be back.

Great Stay!!

I was in town for a Yankee spring training game, and Joel was fantastic. He was incredibly responsive and offered some great suggestions. The neighborhood was quiet, though there wasn't much within walking distance in terms of food, bars, or grocery stores. This wasn’t a major issue for me since I had a car. I did take an Uber to the Yankee game, which was about a 15-minute ride and cost 22. The house could use a little TLC—one guest described it as “dated,” and I agree it could use a fresh coat of paint, particularly on the bathroom floorboards. The beds and couch were comfortable, there were plenty of towels, and the kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and cups (though there’s no dishwasher). It was good for what I needed.

Centrally located near Busch Gardens, ZooTampa, Riverwalk, Yuengling Brew Haus, Spring Training ballparks, etc.Host was attentive and had great suggestions of current events

We had a wonderful stay in Tampa. Joel was a super host! His communication and kindness truly stood out above other VRBO properties we've rented. We had all the information we needed to check in/out easily - he even recommended activities for us in the area and accommodated a schedule change for us gracefully.The house was very kid friendly and had so many thoughtful accommodations to entertain our little ones - kids books and games, a little table and chairs, exercise room, backyard space.Location-wise, we could have walked to Busch Gardens and UCF. It was very easy to drive to: the zoo, Dinosaur World, and downtown. Great location.We highly recommend this property for a family trip to Tampa. Thank you Joel, you rock!

The house is quite cute. Comfortable and accommodating. We were close to many activities and not far from the airport. Joel gave clear instructions to enter and leave. The house is clean and welcoming. Thanks!!
