Nice central location near McDill AFB but very quiet. Close to all Tampa tourist attractions. House was clean, quite well stocked and set up well for our 2 week stay. Property manager was easy to work with and responsive through VRBO e-mails.

Good not great
Cleaning process between guests was obviously rushed. Mattress pads were soiled and obviously not washed between guests. There was still a cork left on the corkscrew, food particles on the utensils, spills on the kitchen floor. Things that make you question how much cleaning actually occurred. I did ask the property manager for an earlier departure (personal reasons, not dissatisfaction with the property) than planned and she did agree and refunded me so I appreciated that. I did not complain to the property manager and maybe I should have.

We loved it!
This was our first time using VRBO and visiting Tampa. It was a quick trip for a family members graduation. We spent 3 nights and couldn’t have been more comfortable. The home is well equipped and aesthetically pleasing. The home is in a very eclectic, quiet, safe neighborhood with supermarkets, stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and gas station a 5-10 min car ride away. It’s very close to MacDill Air Force base but I never heard a plane. Gwen was very responsive to any questions I had prior to and after I had booked. The home was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I really wished we had booked a longer stay and if I I’m ever back in Tampa “which I enjoyed” I would definitely rebook with Gwen. A must when there is a drive/ walk down Bayshore Blvd beautiful homes, estates, and bay views.

Perfect for what we needed!
We had 2 couples (4 adults) and stayed for 3 nights/4ish days. The house was the perfect distance from everything we needed and had what we needed to cook meals. There is a grill pictured in the photos and we weren't able to find that, but managed just fine anyway with the cooking materials provided (including a crockpot which really came in handy!) Thanks Gwen - we had a great time and would love to return sometime.

This location has all the comforts of home, lots of space and an amazing backyard! Gwen is excellent with communication and has designed an aesthetically pleasing layout. The neighborhood is awesome so nice walks is a must. The location was just perfect, grocery stores, shopping and a short stroll to the water was all within minutes.

Overall suited our needs
Overall this rental suited our needs. There were a few minor things, but they were communicated to the host. A few things I forgot to say is my suggestion for new living room furniture with more seating possibly including a sleep sofa, more hooks to hang personal item bags and towels in the bathrooms and a regular potted coffee maker. We enjoyed our visit to Tampa and the time with our family and visiting with our son in the Air Force. Thank you.

While there was a tad bit of confusion at first, Gwen made it right immediately and it was an amazing stay! This is the first time I have traveled and not stayed in a hotel and now I don't think I can go back to anything else! The comfort and beauty of this house was amazing! If I ever visit this area again I will definitely be looking to book this property again!

This property delivered on all fronts. The host was responsive and her experience was obvious. We enjoyed a great time in a quiet and safe neighborhood. If you need to stay south of Gandy Blvd while you're in Tampa, this spot is well positioned. The host new what she was doing when she made this place available at such a great price. I would recommend it to my closest friends. Thanks.
