Great property - highly recommend

We were showing animals at the Florida State Fair - easy access, lakefront was beautiful and peaceful. For being close to every thing neighborhood is very quiet. Owner was very helpful and we left item in house and made sure that we recovered. We will look to stay here again.

Tranquility on the Lake

Spacious one story 3 bedroom, 2 bath with fully equipped kitchen, dining room and plenty of room to spread out within the living room, lanai, family room, and reading nook, plus outdoor dining space & fishing dock. Kayaks, canoes, fishing poles and corn hole await your arrival as well as the ducks and other water fowl. The Hard Rock is located across the lake. This location is convenient to major hwys, crossroads and Ybor city. We came for Baseball Spring training and visited 5 ball parks in and around this West Florida coast area, but there is so much more to see and do. If back in Tampa again, we would definitely stay here again.

My kids and I loved our stay

Nice working class neighborhood, beautiful lake views. Well-kept, contemporary and clean property. Very convenient daily commute to downtown during my stay, and very relaxing environment once I got "home." Family friendly environment, but also great for a couples get away.

Perfect Location for a Vacation!

So much to do in the area! Several major local attractions are just a stone's throw away (Busch Gardens, Hard Rock Cafe Casino...) The house is clean, quite, and comfortable; the rental was also furnished nicely, with plenty of room for everyone. Too much good to say... Trying to properly describe everything we liked about this property, would have me typing forever :)

Peaceful

Nice neighborhood. It was just my husband, dog and I, but house would be comfortable for at least 4 more. Backyard is shared with the neighbor, so we did not let our dog run loose. Less than 10 min. to Hard Rock and Amphitheater. I would stay here again.

Tampa Rental

We rented the property since we could bring our pets and the price was reasonable. The rugs in the house were dirty and we had to buy products to clean the floor. The neighborhood appeared safe although on the fringe of not so safe. The owner was extremely nice....the property was just not up to our standards.

Nice old house on lake

It was ok, we had to leave early due to Hurricane Matthew hitting our homes on east coast. We did not stay the last two nights. I'm disappointed Eric did not refund any of our money. Basically paid over $1400 for 4 nights. Having to leave due to an emergency situation is of expected some refund.

Just OK

My two weeks there were just ok. The two living room TV's were Roku, which I've never used, so a booklet or instruction sheet would have been helpful. No lamps in the two living rooms, only the bright ceiling fan lights. Having a side or floor lamp would have helped to see the remote when using it. The photos showed the lounge chair in the backyard with a thick cushion but when I arrived there was an old, ratty one on it. I eventually saw the nice one on the porch thrown over things in the corner. The photos showed the porch with the grill, table and chairs, and two adirondak chairs but that wasn't the case when I was there. No idea where the adirondak chairs were. The windows on the porch wouldn't open so sitting out there wasn't possible because of the heat. The photos also showed a foot rest for the white lounge chair but that didn't exist either. The refrigerator kept my food barely cold. If you come with a dog check out the Al Lopez park. It's about 7 miles from the house, 132 acres, with a 1.2 mile walking path. Many benches, shelters, two large play areas, big fenced in dog park, etc. A perfect place to spend the day. I don't mean to sound so negative about this rental, but I do believe there are improvements that could be made. I wouldn't stay there again.

Senior girl scout trip

found it very peaceful and comfortable. I enjoyed having my morning coffee and yoga on the dock with the ducks, cranes, and turtles. Everything was easy to find and there was plenty of room for 5 grown adults. There was plenty of sitting room, for when we wanted to have down time and watch T.V.. It was very clean and organized
