About this property

Ybor City Group Home — Game Room & Sleeps 12 | Tampa

Welcome to Emperor Castle, where the whole group fits, and nobody wants to leave. 🏠

We designed this home for groups who want to actually enjoy where they're staying, not just sleep there. Walk in to an open, airy living space anchored by a large sectional, smart TV with streaming, and enough room for everyone to gather. The layout flows into the kitchen and dining area so no one gets cut off from the conversation.

The full kitchen has everything you need: spacious counters, modern appliances, ☕ coffee maker, complete cookware, and a dining table that seats 6 (plus breakfast bar overflow).

Oh, and a corner bakery is literally steps from the front door for those easy mornings.

🎱 THE GAME ROOM
This is the room that makes Emperor Castle. Full-size pool table that converts to ping pong, a dartboard, and a PlayStation console. Pre-Ybor warmup? Post-beach wind down? Tuesday for no reason? The game room's always ready.

🛏️ WHERE YOU'LL SLEEP
Bedroom 1: King bed + bunk bed. Sleeps 4 | Smart TV | Blackout curtains
Bedroom 2: Queen bed + bunk bed. Sleeps 4 | Smart TV | Blackout curtains
Bedroom 3: Smart TV. Additional sleeping for larger groups

Fresh linens throughout. Every bedroom has its own smart TV.

🚿 BATHROOMS
Bathroom 1: His-and-hers sinks + walk-in shower
Bathroom 2: Sink, vanity + shower/tub combo

We clean to hotel-grade standards every single stay. Clean home, guaranteed. ✅
