  Great time… a few things could be fixed but enjoyed it nonetheless

• Good stay, could’ve been great

  3/5

  The house was quite spacious for our family of seven including two small children. The bedrooms were very roomy, and the kitchen and bathroom appointments were fairly nice, but the house does show some wear and tear. Grocery stores are not far and some small restaurants that we enjoyed are fairly close by.

  When we arrived, the entry code we were given (also noted in the instruction booklet) was incorrect. We left messages for the owner/manager and were eventually able to get in. A better job could have been done to prepare for our visit: the trash and recycling bins were overflowing from the previous renters, the pool had yard debris and the filter didn’t appear to be on/working as there was scum on the surface of the water. The playground equipment also needed a good wiping down.

  A pool man came several days later and remedied the situation initially, but we have rented other properties where the pool remained very clean throughout our stays, such was not the case here. It was further frustrating that Polaris equipment to clean the pool, was not hooked up until the day we departed. The improvement was instantaneous but something we could not take advantage of.

  We recommend that more detailed instructions be provided regarding trash pick-up. Through trial and error, we learned that it is best to put out garbage the night before the day of pickup, and that garbage is picked up twice a week, but recyclables only once a week.

  Overall, good stay, but could’ve been great.

• Lovely home

  Lovely home, a heated pool would have made the stay much better. The home had most things we needed and it is an amazing building and location for what we needed

• Great home in a pretty quiet area

  5/5

  The home is great if you're traveling with a large family or group. The kitchen is amazing with plenty of room to cook for your group. The rooms are sized well and beds are comfortable. Mice bedding and good towels. The pool is adequate but i feel it important to point out it is a bit small. I don't have a problem with the size but some might. The shower in the master bedroom, it requires great effort to open the water. I was a bit put off by the high cleaning cost when i initially rented the place but i can tell the cleaning crew did a great job and was very detail oriented. We own a cleaning company and i would gladly hire the same crew to clean one of our properties. Parking shouldnt be an issue given how much space there is to park. I feel the house was a decent value for what you get. It was a hike to get to anythiing in Tampa. We rented this house because of a project in Tampa.

• Good home for a large family

  5/5

  We enjoyed the house and found it was convenient to shops and restaurants. It was much further from Tampa than I thought but I didn't find it to be much of an issue.

  Swimming pool was on the small side but adequate. Pool table was located in a way that was hard to play because you were constantly worried about hitting the wall.

  The kitchen, I can't say enough good things about it. So much so that I did ask the home owner if he wanted to sale the house.

  All the rooms were of a nice size. Bedding was nice and of good quality. Towels were the same

  Master bathroom is nice,but using that shower requires you pull like hell to turn it on.
