The newly renovated master bathroom has a large soaking tub, dual sinks and relaxing large rainfall shower. The second bedroom is a light and airy queen bed suite and the third bedroom has 2 bunk beds (4 twin beds total) - perfect for kids.

Great view but needs work

This house would have been good if it didn’t smell so bad. Very strong odor of mold and mildew. We had the doors open when we could to get some fresh air. Also we had to cover the dirty couches with sheets before we could sit on them. Beds were not comfortable. Need to be replaced along with the couches. The location, the view and size of the house were all amazing! Outdoor space was awesome!! This property could be perfect if those issues were fixed.

The pool and view are what makes the property

The place had everything we needed. It’s in need of some new furniture in the living room and window repair in the master bedroom. The driveway needs some lighting as the main light was not operational. The pool area is in need of table umbrellas very hot in the afternoon and no shade. We loved seeing the manitees and dolphins right off the dock. It’s close to many restrictions and shopping.

Couldn't be Happier :)

This is a wonderful classy home with lots of personal touches throughout. The outdoor space is amazing with a pool and quality patio furniture for enjoying the sunsets. The indoor space is great too with a huge kitchen, DR and LR. It was very comfortable for my family of five adults. It's truly a gem of a location being on the water in an upscale neighborhood close to stores and restaurants, and a quick drive to the beaches and downtown St Pete. Host was terrific and caring with great communication!

The house met expctations

Overall, we were pleased. The house is in reasonable condition; same for the pool. The bay view was the best. Houses on both sides were in bad need of dock repairs. While it's not your owner's fault, It's still detracting from the overall experience. Lastly, Florida drivers rank right down there with Houston drivers: reckeless and rude.One visit was enough.

Amazing home, perfect location.

We absolutely loved our week at Jungle Terrace! The home was amazing, we especially enjoyed the backyard, pool and views over the Inter-Coastal. The location is just across the causeway from the beach and great restaurants, although, we found ourselves taking advantage of the home’s amenities most. Morgan was very responsive with any questions we had but we really didn’t need much due to the listing being very accurate We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a beach getaway and will likely be back ourselves as we visit the Tampa area regularly.

Family vacation

The house was spacious, the decor was very eclectic an the overall house could use an update. It didn’t appear the home was being taken care of as there is mold on the ceiling vents, which could be a health concern. The furniture an decor is a thrift store look. The pool was not cleaned the day we arrived an no one came the week we were there. The oven is very small an would not hold a sheet pan or multiple dishes. The positives were the beds were comfortable, the kitchen works for a large group, they had pool toys, a kayak an beach chairs an the beaches are nearby. Your paying for the bay water views. If a water view isn’t a priority I’d look for another house. I was very disappointed that the charge per night is significantly higher than advertised with many unnamed additional fees. Example $550 additional charges but there’s no explanation what it’s for. I paid more than $1,000 than the advertised price. No fees are refundable. Overall disappointed.

Wonderful Getaway!!

This house is in a very quiet upscale neighborhood surrounded by palm trees and native foliage. The yard is completely surrounded with trees making it very private. The view was spectacular, we loved watching the sunset every evening and playing in the pool in the afternoon. There are many things close by including a Target, Walmart, Publix, a mini putt course and two beaches, all within about 10 minutes. If you're planning to do the Pier, zoo, aquarium and Busch Gardens, you're within reasonable driving distance, 30-60 min. Within the house the layout is perfect and very spacious. The house forms a U shape and in the middle is the outdoor living space with three doors to that area. No matter where you are in the house you feel like you're steps from outside which was amazing. Within each bedroom there is a hamper which is very helpful and the laundry is located right outside the kitchen area in the garage - both machines are modern and worked well. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean. The pool was warm and clean (there will always be a few leaves in there from the breeze but nothing you can't skim out quickly). The outdoor shower was great after playing in the pool or coming home from the beach. We were very pleasantly surprised by all of the kids toys and stuffies there for guest use, the kids loved it! And if you're stuck at home on a rainy day there are at least a dozen board games and tons of books to choose from! In terms of the kitchen there is a coffee maker and a Kurig. There is also glass food storage and the owner keeps it stocked with foil, sandwich bags and plastic wrap. There are plenty of pots and pans. The only thing I would say is that the oven is slightly smaller than the average size which won't affect you unless you had grand plans to serve up a Thanksgiving dinner (the turkey will fit but no sides). Otherwise the kitchen is HUGE with tons of prep space. If you're planning to head to the beach Madiera beach is about 10 minutes away and Treasure Island is even closer. The owner has beach chairs, toys and a beach umbrella as well as a few cooler options. There are also plenty of beach towels. They also have two kayaks (and life jackets), two boogie boards and an inflatable for the pool which was fun. I think there was a paddle board there as well but we didn't use it so I'm not 100% on that. I can't say enough good things about this property, we really felt like we were at home and were so sad to leave!!
