Just like home (better view)

This was a great property to spend a couple weeks at. It was close to my work and to stores and other places. The hosts were fantastic - there whenever you needed them and respectful of privacy. Very nice people!

Beautiful property

This was really a great place to stay. There was plenty of yard space to sit out and enjoy the Florida weather and watch the birds. And there was a nice pool even though we didn't use it. The house had everything we needed and was actually pretty spacious as instead of a studio it had a seperate bedroom. Really nice when my husband stays up to watch TV and I want to go to bed. And Carmen and Dave are really delightful people. Could not have been better.

Meticulously Clean, Generous Host, and Best View Ever!

We stayed here while visiting family in Brandon and Tampa. It was easy to hop on I-75 and I -4 to visit them. This little peaceful place has an incredible view of the lake loaded with wild life. I think we counted over 15 kinds in one day. White pelicans, sandhill cranes, cardinals, storks, ospreys to name a few. The host is very accommodating and she had coffee, cream and waters waiting for us. Their is a full washer and dryer too. She told us about a free gym for senior citizens in the area so we took advantage of that. The bed was comfy and she had several comforters to choose from. The kitchen was loaded making it easy for us to cook a couple of nights. Thank you Carmen and Dave we really appreciated your help with your directions. Hope to see you again.

Quiet little cottage with a peaceful view

Carmen is a fabulous host, who ensured our stay was stress free. Her communication is quick, and nothing was a problem. The cottage is gorgeous, so very quiet looking out on to a beautiful lake and her pool. We enjoyed watching the bird life, especially the cardinals feeding at the bird feeder. We had the pool all to ourselves and it was just peaceful. We watched a couple of otters or beavers swimming in the lake while swimming. The cottage is well stocked and she had coffee, sugar, stevia, shampoo, conditioner and even water for us. There is a Publix supermarket about 2 minutes away, with everything you need. Lots of restaurants close by and we were close to Tampa General Hospital visiting family. The wifi works well, and there are plenty of options on the TV, we were appreciated the cable. We would happily stay again, and highly recommend Carmen and Dave's cottage.

beautiful property

We enjoyed our stay at this piece of property. The cottage was very bright and clean. The view from the lanai over looking the pool and the lake is beautiful. We enjoyed watching the Sandhill Cranes and their little chick grow. The cottage was well maintained. David and Carmen were very sweet making sure we had every thing we needed. There was plenty to see in Brandon and the Tampa area. Area is central to many places to visit in Florida. We would recommend this property to any professional or retired couple.

We are dragging our feet returning home from our Great Escape to Brandon, Florida. We loved that our holiday home was so peaceful, yet close to shopping, golf courses, attractions, restaurants and not that far from the Gulf Beaches. Enjoyed the Florida Aquarium, Lowry Park Zoo, Tarpon Springs wildlife boat tour, but most of all Zoominations at Lowry, spectacular. We explored a lot during our stay, but always enjoyed a swim in the pool late afternoon, while watching the Sandhill cranes and their babies grow. Our hosts were so kind to us! They recommended things to see, restaurants to try, tried to rescue us when they thought we were caught walking in a rainstorm, and yummy homemade cookies delivered near bedtime... I can't wait to return to Brandon and recommend it highly, but please don't book the casita when I want to go!!!!
