Hidden paradise close to downtown Tampa

The location of this beautiful home is fantastic for what our visit to Tampa entailed. We had a Bucs game one night to attend and that was a decent walk to the stadium and a quick ride share back. The rest of our time was spent visiting with family and dining out at Midtown and SoHo. All super close to this home. Very comfortable stay.

Our host was very communicative and we had no issues accessing our rental. The home is very clean, accommodating, and lots of space. The neighborhood is safe and there's lots to do nearby. We walked back from the stadium after the Bucs game. It was a haul, but doable. We had a lovely time and would definitely stay here again given an opportunity.

The house was nice. Very clean and well represented by the pictures. There were a few minor things i would bring up, the pillows were not good, the bed was fine, but bring your own pillow. The TV on the back deck was awesome in the evening, but when it's hot in the day, it would have been nice to have a common area inside to sit and watch sports. The inability for late checkout was upsetting, it would have been nice to have been able to at least check out at noon with a7p.m. flight.

The house picture on the site is aqua but the house is actually terra cotta color. The house numbers are on the mailbox post not on the house. The picture sent just before our arrival had an updated photo. There are 2 small barns that are made into small apartments in the side yard. The people on the small apartments do not have access to any part of the house or the attached patio. We had no access to the area where they were. If the blind is open in bedroom the view is of the small barn apartments. The same with the blind in the front bathroom. Each night a BRIGHT light came on between 4:00AM and 5:00 AM in the patio area of the small apartments. That light was directly next to the bedroom window so we were woken up. The street looked rundown but the area was very quiet and seemed safe. There were only 5 plates and 3 bowls so we had to run the dishwasher every day. There is a coffee pot but not a Kuerig. There could be more towels. We washed a load of towels each day. There are tvs in the bedrooms but not in the living room. There is a tv on the patio. The floor tiles are beautiful. In the bedroom some of the tiles are cracked and loose. We were careful where we walked. Communication was quick and questions were answered. The house was clean, there was a driveway for parking. We enjoyed the patio and used the gas grill.
