This apartment is a spacious, well maintained, beautifully decorated and restored bungalow The hardwood floors are amazing and the furnishings fit. The large front porch is also comfortably decorated and a wonderful place to have coffee and listen to the birds and the music of the water in the front fountain. This is an upstairs apartment so may not be for those who have trouble with stairs. It is a bath and a half....and the half bath is quite small. But my husband and I and our grown son, did fine with the arrangement. Christie and Stuart go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and comfortable....even to stocking the kitchen with some food items to get you through breakfast the morning after you arrive. In less than 15 minutes you can be at Busch Gardens. The surrounding neighborhoods may be a little questionable, but once you arrive at the apartment, you leave all that behind and feel quite safe. The location is also conveniently located close to Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg. Christie and Stuart live downstairs and their property is beautiful. They make everything so welcoming. We felt we made an excellent choice in staying here.

Very well appointed 2 bdroom, 1.5 appt. In a super convenient location. Lots of home away from home touches. Furnishings are first rate as is everything else. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

This house is decorated and comfortably furnished. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The back yard rocks at this house. It overlooks a river and it is extremely quiet and relaxing. The owners have plenty of outdoor furniture and decorations for your enjoyment. The linens were all nice and clean. We rated it four stars because the water pressure is quite low in the one bathroom and although it was advertised the way it was furnished with televisions we would have been more comfortable with our group if all the bedrooms had televisions. Also for my mom's bad knees it was difficult to have steps moving from room to room. Having said those few negatives I must commend the owners for their welcoming attitude and willingness to help at any time. Mike was a super awesome person to rent from and we would visit this house again if we return to Tampa. This house was well worth the price as it was more comfortable for our group of five than hotels rooms would have been.

Awesome place to stay! Owners were nice and area is great and not far from downtown Tampa. My daughter enjoyed watching the fish and we wished we could have stayed longer. I will stay again if in the area.

What an amazing stay! Mike could not have been nicer. We booked our trip super last minute (the day of) and they were more than accommodating. We took our son, his two friends and my mother to Tampa for a quick birthday weekend to Busch Gardens. The house had more than enough room for all six of us to sleep and stay comfortably. I wish I could have spent more time at the house just so I could admire more the quirky and fun furnishings and art. The dock in the back yard was super fun and would love to go back and spend some time fishing for the "alligator gar" Mike told us about. Everything was clean and well appointed. It was definitely a home away from home. We will be using Mike and Lysa for all of our future trips to Tampa!

The owners were friendly, flexible and accommodating.
The facilities were as advertised, very adequate for family needs.
The views of the river were gorgeous both day and night.
We felt safe in the neighborhood and in the home, and malls, grocery and downtown were short rides away. Cabs were easy enough to get, though there was a bit of a wait at times.
