Backyard Paradise

The red barn was quaint & comforting. Stefan thought of everything. But the best part is the outside paradise. You get access to pool, hot tub & the beautiful grounds. It was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

So relaxing!

This hidden paradise is just minutes from the hustle and bustle of downtown Tampa, but you'd never know it once you step foot on the property. It feels like you're 50 miles away from anyone which makes for a restful, peaceful, enjoyable retreat! Everything about this property is as advertised. The barn is perfect for one or two people to enjoy. The private outdoor shower felt amazing after a day attending conferences or to start the morning. I just got home and I miss it already! This property deserves a 6 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review as 5 just doesn't do it enough justice! Absolutely stunning!

Wonderful Retreat

Wow, this property is amazing! What a great find. Me and a friend rented the little red barn for a weekend in Tampa and were blown away. The hosts, Stefan and Abraham, were so gracious and welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had everything needed for a wonderful stay. The barn was perfect for two and included use of the pool, hot tub, and outdoor bar area. The whole property is so thoughtfully designed and build it was like having our own private tropical resort. If you’re planning to stay in the greater Tampa area do yourself a favor and check this place out. I highly recommend it and will definitely visit again.

3 nights

We stayed 3 nights and let’s just say Stefan and Abraham are wonderful! We felt so welcomed. The property is nothing short of beautiful. From the rental to the grounds. The hot tub to the plants and flowers. “Birds of paradise to the hibiscus “. We feel we made new friends and had a wonderful experience. We will be back! Thank you, especially to Stefan, for everything.

A very relaxing getaway!

This place was everything we hoped it would be and our host exceeded our expectations. Stefan couldn’t have been nicer. The little barn was clean and decorated nicely. It was very cozy and my wife and I were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower. The whole grounds were beautifully lit and landscaped. It was an oasis so close to the city. Historic Ybor City is nearby and we had a wonderful time exploring the area. We are extremely bummed we had to leave and can’t wait to visit again!!!

AMAZING!!!

Where do we begin. As soon as you walk in you are met with this beautiful tree with lights and swings and it literally looks unreal. The grounds were kept beautifully. No clothing option blew our minds and is now mandatory for us for ALL bookings. The pool area was super clean beautifully lit up in the evening which definitely set the mood. The barn was so cozy like a little love nest. The outdoor shower was just amazing the bathroom was very cute, bed was comfy. Stefan greeted us with great energy which made the start of our stay very comfortable.

Loved the Little Red Barn!

Grandma and mom came to visit for UT parents weekend. We stayed in the little barn and LOVED it! The yard is beautiful with many areas for relaxing and enjoying the weather. Privacy for staying in the barn but also access to a BEAUTIFUL pool and hot tub. Stefan was so nice! We didn't have time to enjoy the full property as were doing too much off site but will be back! We especially liked the outdoor shower! Next time hope to sit by the fire with a glass of wine. I did get to enjoy the tree swing - too cute!

3 day VRBO stay

If you are looking for a getaway that is surprisingly like a small resort with a Zen flair this is the place to stay. If I wasn’t there on family business, the amenities far exceeded my expectations. From the outdoor private shower, the beautiful barn like tiny house private accommodation to the gardens and inground pool with hot tub, this owner occupied property in the mail house was seriously an incredible get away. Keep in mind there is no kitchen but you can be very creative with a microwave. Meeting the owners and their dog Lilly, a pleasure. The tiny house barn is meticulously kept and in the future, looking forward to another opportunity to stay again. Edward N. From NY

Cool place!

We enjoyed the cute, cozy little barn, and the beautiful plants on the property. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and the owners were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again if we’re in the Tampa area. The location was central to everything you could want to see and do…Busch Gardens, the casino, fine dining, and shopping.

Relaxing Getaway

My daughter and I traveled down for the weekend to attend a concert. The property was in a quiet neighborhood with a reasonable commute to the venue. The barn was comfortable and well kept. The pool and garden were amazing. Stepping out the door to a butterfly garden added such a relaxing atmosphere. Stefan was an excellent host and it was enjoyable talking with him.

Little red barn

Our stay was great Stefan attended to all our needs. The little barn was really spacious inside, bed was comfortable, there was a little kitchen to make coffee, tea, toast, etc. The grill outside was really convenient also. The outside shower is so relaxing after a long day in the sun. Property was gorgeous with a butterfly garden right outside your door. Pool & jacuzzi are beautiful with a sound system right there if you want music on whole you swim. Would recommend to everyone will definitely stay again we loved it.

About the host

Hosted by Stefan

I am originally from Germany, married and we love hosting.

Why they chose this property

We are in a great location, east of Tampa with lots of nature and privacy, only 8 minutes by car to Channelside, Downtown Tampa or famous Ybor City. Bush Gardens is about 25 Minutes away. Supermarkets, Gas station and a Latin Food Truck is also very close by. You can reach the Gulf Coast Beaches with St. Pete (Dali Museum), Gulfport, Dunedin, Clearwater Beach etc. within 30 Minutes. Attractions in Tampa are the Bayshore Boulevard and the River Walk, great for running or any kind of outdoor exercise, Armature Works and Sparksmans Warf, the Pinellas Trail, Tampa Theater and Straz Performing Art Center, Hyde Park. The new Water Street District offers very nice new places to eat, hangout, dine or for having drinks.
