Property layout and number of living areas is great. Rooms were good size. The property was clean. Master bathroom nicely updated. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked and we liked that there were some pantry items. Communication with property manager was great. There is only one key and not a keypad to enter the property. This is inconvenient with people leaving or coming back at different times. Rugs and couch/couch pillows could use some refreshing. Rugs are dated (inside and out). The couches are comfortable but there are stains. Sitting area by the pool is not covered - just something to be aware of as it rains frequently and then there is no option to sit outside. Outside furniture is ok but given it gets wet frequently, sufficient. Pool chairs were fine. Area between pool and house could definitely use some power washing. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Needs some work and cleaning.
The house overall is beautiful. Oven did not heat. AC was not working. It was 80 degrees in the house when we arrived. At first we were told it would be the next day but we were traveling with 2 veterans with ptsd so they had a hvac company come out around midnight. It was worked on but we could only set ac to 72 so it wouldn’t stop running again. There were dirty towels in the basket in bedroom when we arrived and the shower curtain was moldy in master bathroom. Couch cushions were dirty also. We paid way to much of a cleaning fee and for this house for anything to be dirty or the problems we had.

Perfect vacation retreat
This home was perfect! It is very obvious that the owners take pride in this property. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The house is more beautiful in person than what is reflected in the pictures. Everyone in my party of 7 enjoyed the pool and house. The open floorplan allowed everyone to have their own space. There are several places to sit down to enjoy a meal or just relax outside. We will definitely return to this home on our next visit to Tampa.

Property manager was rude
This house needs some maintenance. It is really clean, but the long term maintenance is not being done. There is mold and overgrown foliage in the pool area, all of the pool stuff is broken. The rugs need replaced, toilet paper holders etc. it looks like someone is doing a great job cleaning but the owner never visits. Rather than a code for entry everyone has to share one set of keys for the week. When I asked if we could use the lockbox the property manager suggested we leave the keys under the mat. One of our guests locked his keys in his car on Easter Sunday. We checked out on time and he sat on the porch and waited for AAA and she cussed me out at 1pm on Easter Sunday because he was sitting on the porch waiting. The house was vacant. I would not rent again.

Bird lovers haven.
We thoroughly loved our family time with three generations enjoying this peaceful location. One of our bird lovers used an app to record and identify up to 15 birds every morning. The pool was great and the beds very comfortable. There were many amenities provided and the host contact was great!

Great experience.
House is roomy and clean. Especially enjoyed the spacious master bedroom. Minor issues with pool and outdoor furniture. Bottom of pool needs a good paint job. Grill needs an upgrade. Maybe put cushions inside to keep clean. We all said we would rent here again.

Great House
The house was great! The property manager helped us along the way if I had questions, and made sure our stay was great. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The whole family enjoyed the pool and hot tub throughout the week as I paid the extra fee to have the pool heated, except by one of our last nights we noticed the water was much cooler and wondered if the heater had been turned off. The location is tranquil and lovely.
