Wonderful place!

The Urban Nest was a wonderful place to stay. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and Janice makes it really welcoming and comfortable. It’s become our “go to” place to stay in Seminole Heights.

So cute and comfy!

Very cozy little spot. It was very nice that while being a guest house, they fenced off your part of the backyard so you were separate from the main house and it felt like your own area. Everything was really well-stocked and super clean.

R & R at The Nest.

My husband and I needed a quiet place to kick back after several weeks of medical treatment. The Nest is only a few blocks from our son and his family. It was convenient to connect with them and visit in this space. The location is also convenient to local attractions for those who are interested.

Lovely private house!

I had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. It was a perfect spot for me to explore neighborhoods as I am looking to relocate. Delicious food nearby. Janice was so kind and easy to work with. I really appreciated all the little touches with fresh eggs, coffee, and nice toiletries. I also felt it was very private for being so close to her house and others. I would definitely recommend it!

Adorable place

The place is very clean which is important these days. Perfect for a couple, 3 people still fit comfortably. The hostess made sure that we had everything we needed. The basket of eggs was a nice touch. Would stay here again.

Our stay

The house is nicely tucked into a large private courtyard. The neighborhood is quiet. Everything inside is a nice quality. The bathroom door is not wide enough for a standard indoor walker. I give the house a very high rating.

Safe and Cozy

The Urban Nest was a cozy, self contained rental. It had all the amenities to make our 1 month stay very pleasant. The egg basket was a real treat. The property is located in a safe Tampa neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by Janice F Watkins

I have two very sweet and friendly rescue dogs named Bella and Dexter.

Why they chose this property

The Urban Nest will be your home away from home. I use only natural, certified cruelty-free Puracy products in my guesthouse so they do not contain artificial dyes or scents for those who may be sensitive. All linens are washed with free and clear detergents.

What makes this property unique

The Urban Nest is close to all local attractions and events and is very close to I-275, yet is very quiet and peaceful. Old Seminole Heights is full of beautiful, mature Grand oak trees. It's only about a 35-40 min. drive to the #1 beach in the U.S., Clearwater Beach. Only 11 min. from Busch Gardens and 14 min. from The Seminole Hard Rock Cafe and Casino.
