Midway between Disney and the Gulf beaches

This quiet neighborhood house is conveniently midway between the Gulf beaches and Tampa attractions (Busch Gardens, The Florida Aquarium, ZooTampa), and Orlando attractions (Universal Studios, Walt Disney World, SeaWorld). The small but fully-equipped kitchen is open to the living room, the washer and dryer are yours to use, parking is off-street in a driveway, and in addition to the three bedrooms, additional sleeping is available on a blow-up mattress and/or the large wrap-around couch.

Mature trees provide shade throughout the day in the front and back yards. (The back yard is PARTIALLY fenced, NOT fully)

The three bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans/lights on remote control. A floor fan is also available.

The master bathroom includes grab bars for those who may need stability in the shower or bathroom.
