Absolutely Amazing!!!
My husband and I had a phenomenal stay at this property. We enjoyed our time there from start to finish. The property is just as pictured, simply beautiful. The views of the lake are spectacular. We enjoyed the hot tub, the pool and playing ping pong. We liked being able to play ping pong so much we ordered a table for our home. The location is also amazing. We were able to take daily walks at the nearby park. The check-in process was seamless and the amenities are too many to name. We will definitely visit them again.

Football excursion to watch our “Ravens” take down the Buccaneers.
We came in after midnight-house was well-lit for our arrival. Complimentary bottle of wine awaiting us. Everything pretty much as pictured. Nice sized rooms, lots of sleeping availabilities, nice linens, towels, bathroom/shower necessities-well stocked. Very nice surroundings. As a result of the two recent hurricanes, there was some property damage; therefore, affecting some of the amenities. The pool and hot tub had some maintenance issues, but we were able to get some use out of them, regardless. The view is absolutely gorgeous of the lake. Too many wonderful extras to mention. Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay.

Great Escape
House was in a great location! The outside patio/pool area was so relaxing. The inside was clean and laid out well. There is a desk with a monitor, hub and printer to hook up laptops. The internet is a bit slow, around 16mbs and really slows down when everyone is using the internet. Loved the complemental wine and coffee. We will definitely stay here agian!

A wonderful home with a perfect view and location
From start to finish, my group and I were very impressed with this property. Newly renovated with a spectacular outdoor space and view. Very quiet and private. The home is located in a great neighborhood close to everything Tampa has to offer. The communication with the host was spectacular and prompt. There isn’t much more you can ask for when staying in Tampa. I highly recommend this property for a weekend getaway, trip with friends, or anything in between.
