Spent the night before our cruise

We used this place to stay the night before our cruise the next morning. It was close by and my husband was able to suttle us in groups to the port. It was perfect.

As advertised

Everything was great! Tara made the whole process so easy. We had to make some changes as our stay got closer and she worked with us so graciously. I would recommend "The Jungle" and we will stay again if we have opportunity.

Christmas Stay

The Jungle House was perfect for our week long Christmas reunion. There was more than enough room for six adults, one teenager, and a child. Location was great for every we site we wanted to see, quiet neighborhood, and a great host. Tara even got a jungle theme Christmas tree for the occasion!

Great price for a comfy stay

Our stay was really good overall. The house is much smaller in-person then it is in the photos, but there are a number of rooms/bed so there is plenty of room to sleep. The neighborhood was a little out of the way and a little run down, but we felt safe in spite of that. Check in and check out was quick and easy!

Fun house, cute neighborhood

Stayed for a short visit after getting in from a cruise. Short drive from cruise port. Owner is quick with message responses and very accommodating. Our younger kids loved the fun backyard and decor of the house. Would definitely stay here again.

15th birthday trip

We choose this house for my daughter's 15th birthday celebration. We spent the day at Busch Gardens and had a short drive to the house. There was 10 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. We live on the other coast, so it was nice to not have to drive all the way home after a long day.

Very nice home.

This home is very well kept. It has live plants in the home which gives you an “at home” feeling. We were glad to have a full kitchen, even though we didn’t really cook anything. The neighborhood was quiet. The yard has nice nooks for sitting and enjoying the night air.

Nice place with plenty space

We just needed a place to stay for 1 night after our cruise while we waited for our flight the next day. We had 7 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of room for all of us to sleep comfortably. Host stayed there in an RV in the driveway but we never saw or heard from her at all and she answered questions in a timely manner. My only advice for the host is to leave more detailed check out instructions as there weren't any at all so we just cleaned up, put trash by the front door and left all bedding as it was. Thank you!

Cute and convenient location!

This property was really cute and eclectic and everyone was able to find a comfortable place to sleep. We attended a concert at Raymond James stadium and were able to get back to the vrbo very quickly and easily. The showers were a bit older but that’s to be expected in a historical neighborhood. The only issue we had was that upstairs at night when it rained, the sound made from rain drops hitting the skylight was so loud it woke us up even though it wasn’t raining that hard although I don’t know if that issue can be mitigated I’m guessing it has to do with the material of the skylight window, just something to be aware of. Overall we felt safe and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Great location for getting around!

We had never been to Tampa and this house was a fantastic place to be our home base! It’s close to everything without having to get on any freeways. There is also a fantastic food scene that is all within ten minutes. The house has a cool layout with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and then three bedrooms downstairs with the living space in the middle of everything. There were some games under the tv that we took advantage of and the whole place has a relaxing vibe to it. The neighborhood is quiet at night and you get woken up by singing birds in the morning! The only negative thing would be if it rains heavily at night. My husband and I slept upstairs where there is a wonderful sky light, but I think some things may have been falling on it from the tree during a bit of rain and wind at night. It was pretty loud and kept waking us up. Otherwise it was a great room to stay in! Tara was terrific about getting any questions I had answered quickly and in a super friendly manner :)
