Family vacation

Overall it’s a good place to stay. However the water pressure in both bathrooms and kitchen are not very good. I’d book here again and communication was good. We loved how roomy the house was and the bedrooms.

Great place to stay

I would not hesitate to stay at this property again! Oscar was great to deal with and very rapid to respond. Coming in at night I was unsure of the area based on a previous review I ready but also saw they said they would stay there again. It is on a dead end road with hotels on the other side of the fence. When I plan a trip to Busch Gardens with the kids, I will definitely plan to book here.

Close to Busch Gardens

This house was very large and offered sleeping space for a family of 8 people with a bed to spare. Short drive to Busch Gardens allowed us to come back for lunch and re-enter the park after a break. Very sparse and plain but we were only looking for a space to sleep and eat. Kitchen and laundry came in handy.

Stay near Busch

The property was clean and seemed freshly painted but a some of the work was incomplete? (framing around doors, closet doors missing? The location for going to Busch gardens was perfect. The surrounding neighborhood was not as good as one would want.

Older house

Home has very old couches that sink down very low when you try to sit on them. Kitchen is very tiny so luckily we were not doing any cooking or eating there. Only one TV in the whole 4 bedroom house and cable kept going in and out. A/C vent in bathroom with shower was very dirty. A/C in bedroom was very loud when it kicked on. Beds were comfortable and had good pillows.
