Amazing property

Our family had a wonderful time. Perfect location, close to shopping and amusement parks. The pool set up was like a dream, plenty of chairs in and out of the sun, and the waterfall was everything we imagined. Host was quick to respond and very helpful! Love this house!

This one ACTUALLY IS an OASIS!!!!

WOW!!!!!If we could give it MORE THAN FIVE STARS we would! It was PERFECT for a family escape. From the full size pool table to the comfortable bedrooms, spa-like feeling in the back yard and the quick responses from our host Danna, we had THE BEST VRBO experience EVER. EVERYTHING was as good as advertised - if not better! The outdoors area is FANTASTIC, featuring an amazing hot tub, a waterfall feature in the good size (and deep) pool, a couch area with a TV and a volleyball net - the outside looks MAGICAL when the lights come on at night. Hidden in a neighborhood where you'd never expect it, this GEM is CLOSE to Busch Gardens - and the airport and downtown Tampa aren't far away either. Simply put, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

PA to FL for sun and fun!

We had the opportunity to stay at the Tropical Oasis in the Heart of Tampa mid March and it was amazing! The house amenities are outrageous. There was literally something for everyone! We loved to eat our meals outside on the patio. Our days were jam-packed with day trips to Legoland, Clearwater Beach, and of course, Busch Gardens. We wish we had the time to stay at the house for another day or two because the Tropical Oasis in the Heart of Tampa is a resort in itself!! Honestly, you wouldn't need to leave...just sit and relax! The host, Danna, is wonderful! She is prompt to assist if any questions. I would highly recommend this property! Thank you for allowing us to stay and create family memories!

Backyard resort

House has been thoughtfully updated and equipped with everything you need. What really sets this rental apart is the backyard. The pool, hot tub, games - the whole set up is just delightful! This home is in the Temple Terrace area by Busch Gardens. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for relaxation

Everything was nice, and clean. The pool and hot tub were so relaxing but got even better when the waterfall was on and made it soothing. Hosts was very nice and quick to respond, and also very helpful. We had a lovely, relaxing stay and i would book another stay if we make a trip to Tampa again.

Amazing Family-Friendly Tampa Getaway!

We had an amazing stay in Tampa! The house was beautiful—new, modern, and very family-friendly. Everything was easy to find, worked perfectly, and was designed for comfort. The kids especially loved the pool, volleyball, and lawn games, while everyone enjoyed gathering around the fire pit, BBQ, and lanai in the evenings. The backyard truly felt like a dream oasis! Plus, the location was fantastic—just a short drive to Busch Gardens, which made our trip even better. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway

We had the best time at The Palm! It’s only about 3 minutes from Busch Gardens, which made it the perfect spot for a family trip. The pool with the waterfall and the outdoor veranda were just gorgeous — we spent so much time relaxing there.The kids had a blast with the volleyball court! It kept them busy for hours, and I actually got a little quiet time. The house was spotless, and it really felt like a home away from home from the second we walked in. But what truly made this trip so special was the hospitality of our hosts. They were so warm, thoughtful, and quick to help with anything we needed.We’re already looking forward to our next stay!
