Immaculate housekeeping skills and gracious hosts

The hosts were very pleasant and the home was immaculately maintained. We were in the area to ride the paved bike trails and were able to explore several outlying areas with ease due to their convenient location. I would absolutely choose this location for future Tampa trips.

What a beautiful oasis!

I can't rave enough about this property or it's owner. The property is welcoming yet very private. Ken was available whenever I had a question yet I was given all the privacy I wanted. The bungalow is impeccably maintained and the suite had all that I could ask for. I would highly recommend this lovely property. You will not be disappointed.

Oasis in Tampa!

I can't decide which is better, the room or the owners! From the first communication, Ken was responsive and great to work with. The room is decorated perfectly and very comfortable. Every detail is covered. I have a very relaxing stay and will definitely be back!
