What a wonderful two week vacation I had with my roommate. We drove to Florida from CT, and were warmly welcomed by Christie (Stuart was away during our stay). After the long trip, it was great to see that she had the basics for the first night/morning stay - coffee with fixings, cereal, snacks, fruit, and toiletries there too, so we didn't have to rush out to the store. The property is beyond beautiful, and the accommodations top shelf. Beds were so comfortable and the furnishings done in a songbird theme. This craftsman style home was decorated with period furniture (and also the modern updates, like a HUGE television / music system, every utensil and appliance you can think of....). There was not one need that was overlooked. It was such a joy to come back each night after our vacation excursions to a HOME. Close to Lowry Park Zoo, Busch Gardens, and a lovely drive to each of the beaches and aquariums we explored. Sitting outside in the back of the property or on the spacious veranda listening to the songbirds and trickling water from the fountains was wonderfully relaxing in the morning and evening. Christie also suggested that we use Uber transportation for some of our close destinations - it cost less than the parking price and we had door-to-door service exactly when we wanted to go and return! Recommend getting the "City Pass" for touring - saves lots of money and kind of made us see places nearby that we ordinarily would not have thought of. I cannot recommend this rental enough - already have to others, and we will be back to stay when we are in the Tampa area. Thanks for a lovely, lovely vacation at your beautiful home, Christie.

This accommodation is very well equipped, the owners have thought of everything. Furnishings gave the apartment a really comfortable and cosy ambience.
Friendly owners who respected your privacy, but were always on hand if required.
Very quiet at night, complimented by good quality bedding.
Location of property is good for access to Busch Gardens and many other natural sites within the Tampa area.

My brother and I stayed here for three nights in December. The apartment was very clean and beautifully decorated. We walked in the door and felt at home! The kitchen has everything you need and all of the supplies were well stocked. It is in a great location for restaurants and an easy commute to the beach. The hosts were personable and friendly. The spacious, screened in porch was a delight! I highly recommend Old Southern Charm!

Enjoyed 3 nights at this treetop-level apartment. The location was convenient to both downtown and USF. The neighborhood was quiet and good for morning walks.
It has a large screened-in porch from which we enjoyed an afternoon tropical rainstorm, foreign to me from drought-stricken California. Bedrooms were comfortable, well-stocked kitchen, spacious living room. Hope to stay there again on my next visit.
I couldn't have had a more wonderful experience. I was there for 11 days and felt like I was at home.
There wasn't anything that the apartment lacked...a kitchen with every appliance one would need to make a full course meal...
The host and hostess were friendly and helpful. Stuart even helped me bring my suitcase to my car!! if you are looking for a home away from home this is the place to stay!
My daughter and I stayed here for two weeks. She attended a dance program at the conservatory in town. The commute was very convenient from this location and was close to any place in Tampa. The house is less than five minutes drive to I-275. We were 30-60 minutes to the beach (depending on which beach we chose). There are very nice parks nearby for morning walks and seeing some wildlife.
It's a comfortable two bedroom one and a half bath rental. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. We ate here almost exclusively, which saved a lot of money over the two weeks. The beds were quite comfortable. There is a lovely veranda and garden that I wish I could've enjoyed more but it was very hot and humid at this time. The owners were very nice and helpful. They were readily available if needed. There is parking on the property, off the street and near the door. Very well lit at night. The neighborhood was very quiet at night (except for some occasionally misbehaving frogs).

Plenty of space in this upstairs apartment with 2 bedrooms, a large family room, lovely kitchen and eating area and a bonus sun porch! The hosts were very warm and helpful - and have decorated the place delightfully and equipped it with all necessities. They also recommended places to see and some great local restaurants.
