We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back. The host was very accommodating and communicative from the time we booked—quickly answering questions before our stay, checking in during our visit, and making checkout easy.The backyard was one of our favorite parts. It was large, beautiful, and had plenty of space for my pup to run around. The fire pit and hanging benches were such a cozy touch. We especially loved sitting by the fire in the evening and enjoying the warmth.The house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. When we initially had a small issue gaining access to the home, the host immediately contacted her handyman, who came right away and remained available throughout our stay in case anything else came up. That level of responsiveness was greatly appreciated.Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely stay here again.

Great location, yard.

This house was just what we needed for our week in Tampa. Convenient to downtown, Ybor City, USF and Busch Gardens. Nicely decorated and has a big back yard. A few steps to the river and a large park.

Family getaway Concert hall

This is place is great and only 7 miles to the Ampitheatre and Fair grounds where we attended a coupler events during our stay. Back yard was awesome for the dogs. We would definitely stay here again! Actually wish we had more time to see more of what the area had to offer!

Great host and peaceful experience!

We had a great experience at this vacation rental! Griselda was a very helpful, responsive, professional, and friendly host. The house was charming and the backyard space was a wonderful escape for us. It was a great space for my family and our furbaby! I loved that the area was quiet with a calming view of the river. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great yard!!

This was a great little house that put us right near everything we needed to be close to. We were at a volleyball tourney at the fairgrounds and this location was perfect. Not too far away. Right near campus as well with many stores close by. There is a really nice backyard with a small grill for cooking. Would stay again!! Thanks!!

Family wedding weekend

We enjoyed our stay at Griselda’s cottage. She kept in touch to make sure we were taken care of.I had difficulty at first, with the app lock, but it was probably user error. After that, a breeze to lock & secure. Enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is open concept with 2 full baths making it a breeze for all to get ready for the day. The backyard is perfect for our small dogs and there is a large park around the corner with a doggie park and nice walking trail. Although we didn’t go to Busch gardens, it is just around the corner. The house was spacious and clean and the host was very communicative. I would stay again.

House was clean

The property is old and issues were sent to the owner to address. It is close to a park and six flags. The dead end street is quiet. The owner was responsive. It is near the river which is great to watch wildlife.
