Tampa Bay area OASIS

The home was very clean upon arrival. It’s in a quiet neighborhood. The home features lots of space in all the rooms. We appreciated having the Keurig coffee maker with coffee pods. All the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms are nice with towels provided. The WiFi is excellent as well. There are three smart TVs. There is ample parking. The lanai is shaded and makes a great afternoon gathering place. The pool is not heated so we didn’t use it. The kitchen and breakfast counter is another great gathering place.

The location was great for us to connect with all our family who lives across central Florida. Great central location for day trips throughout the week. Close to grocery stores for quick trips to grab essentials. A little off the beaten path so sometimes it was a little longer drive to some restaurants but nothing inconvenient, just plan for that with a hungry toddler haha! Great communication and responsiveness from hosts. Check in and check out process was one of the easiest of all the VRBOs we have stayed at which is always helpful when rushing out the door with a toddler in tow! Would 100% rent again if we do a similar family trip next year!

The stay was wonderful. Very accommodating for my family of 5 adults. Very peaceful and enjoyable to cook and hangout. Would recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area.

This was my gift to my 86 year old mom, my daughter (who is 8 months pregnant) and my 2 daughter-in-laws. Pros: The house itself is BEAUTIFUL and decorated very nicely. There is a lot of space. Huge kitchen, large family room, bedrooms nice. Cons: We only had one day to swim (our first day) and pool was filthy.Owner walked me through how to get pool vacuum working but said it wouldn't be clean until the next day - which was too late for us as we already had plans. There is a lovely screened in patio but we couldn't sit outside because there were so many mospuitos from holes/open panels in the screen. So this magnificent outdoor space was of no use to us since pool was unswimmable and mosquitoes bothered us so much. Hair was found in some bed linens. Master clost door literally fell on my mom's head when it came off the track when she opened it. Had 2 live roaches which is common in Florida but then I saw a roach trap behind the master bed so evidentally they have a problem of some kind. Finally, and most important - the owner controls the ac. Especially in the evening, the rooms were so hot and there are no ceiling fans. A good quick fix would be to supply floor fans for guests. My pregnant daughter was literally dying from the heat. Overall the house is great However the owner needs to be more proactive when a renter is coming and make sure things are in working order. Also, I was disappointed the owner did not offer some type of refund/discount on the pool situation.
