The Great Escape 3BR 2B Entire house
A 20 min drive from the Tampa international airport this is our quaint newly renovated vacation home, in South Tampa. A 20 minute drive from Tropicana Fields and the Amalie Arena, in addition to the Tampa Zoo and aquarium. Honestly it’s a great location to get to almost anything fun in the Tampa area! And if you want to just stay in we set up a backyard oasis with a pool/hot tub spa combo surrounded by a cozy shaded relaxing patio. Paradise is right around the corner in our Great Escape! ***As out guest, we believe in transparency and your right to privacy.

This was the most perfect VRBO experience that I have ever had. The home was beautiful and comfortable just like it was advertised. It had everything that you needed and more! The hot tub was so relaxing and perfect for a romantic getaway. If I could give it 6 stars, I would!
Very welcoming hosts who had left extra bottles of water, snack candies, and numerous 'comfy' home items. The 12 person hot tub/pool was the go to for relaxing on those days that we hit the 10,000 steps.
The place was perfect! Very clean, well maintained, easy check-in process and the hosts were great. The best part was the very large jacuzzi in the back screened in porch. We plan to keep this place on the list of places to stay next time we are in Tampa.
The house was very spacious and well laid out. Everything was so clean, which is really important to us. It had all that we needed! The pool was wonderful! We had a very good time.
This place was one of the nicest Air B&B's I've ever stayed at. So much attention to detail so you had everything you needed. The property managers where very nice at checking in with us to see if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again.
Great place that met all of our needs! We came to town to move our daughter into u if Tampa - great location from airport to city and everything in between. Neighborhood itself is dated and is the nicest house on the street - but in general felt safe and would return.
My sister and I enjoyed our stay here! The place was very beautiful, clean, and private. Everything we needed for the beach was provided. The host were easily available if needed. I would definitely come back next time I visit Tampa.
We were there for a month and it is a clean,well equipped and furnished house that made you feel like you were home. Furniture is very comfortable. The property managers are excellent to deal with on any issues that may come up. We are planning on a return visit.
From the time we arrived until the end of our stay we were constantly surprised by the attention to detail and concern for our comfort. Nothing could have been improved upon, and we appreciated the thoughtful gestures of an arrival gift, warm cuddly bathrobes and the very well equipped kitchen.A five Star experience!
This property was one of the most comfortable places we have stayed..small, but very nicely appointed. The owners clearly care and have made the effort to go above and beyond to anticipate the needs of their guests. The screened in back yard was delightful as well! Lovely vibes!
Comfortable, well supplied, lovely retreat. Third time visiting and even better this time. Thoughtfully decorated and appointed. Needs anticipated. Highly recommend.
This is a wonderful home, they have provided any and everything you could possibly want or need. The enclosed backyard with the spa pool is a great place to sit in the morning and drink your coffee or relax in the pool after a day of sightseeing. Chelsea was wonderful checking in with us when we arrived and available anytime we had questions. We will definitely be back!!
Great location and lots to do around. The hot tub was perfect. Everything we needed was provided along with extra. We even used the beach supplies which came in very handy. This house is cozy and comfortable!
Thanks Mike and Paige
Excellent place for a getaway!! Probably one of the best properties that we have stayed in till date. Exceptionally clean, spacious and well-stocked for a family. We especially appreciated the thoughtful gestures of the host in going above and beyond for making our stay memorable. Will definitely rebook if we are ever in the area again. Thank you so much!!
When we return to Tampa we plan on staying here again. The Kitchen was well stocked for cooking, all appliances were new and worked well. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of towels both for indoors and the hot tub. Wonderful home! We highly recommend!
Three of us stayed for one week in February. The home was immaculate. We enjoyed the swim spa after long days of shopping and the beach. Everything down to the plush blankets and French press was impressive. It was a pleasure having things like beach towels, bags, coolers, chairs…available to use during outings. If your looking for a fantastic place to stay in Port Tampa City check out The Great Escape.
This was exactly what we needed for a great weekend in Tampa. Well kept pack n play. They had lots of cooking supplies and children’s utensils. Very responsive. No hurricane damage. Sweet welcome gift upon arrival.
