The host was great and the house was perfect for 4 adults on a Busch Gardens trip. Great little place to stay with everything you need. I think my only complaint would be the cars speeding by and revving up their engines.

Our host was very quick to respond and VERY helpful. I would recommend this location for sure if you are planning to visit Busch Gardens as it is a walkable distance to the entrance. The property is a little dated and needs some updating, but overall I would stay here again. There is someone living in the camper behind the house, but they are related to the owner and available to assist us if needed. We were just not warned about the individual living back there, so it startled us a bit when we saw the lights on in the camper as well as someone walking through the backyard. Again, however, I would for sure recommend staying here and will do so again in the future if we visit Tampa again.

Good one night stay

Clean well equipped home, found as described, no issues. Good for a one night stay. Pillows/mattresses are a little weathered but overall worth the price we paid. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
