For the most part it was an ok stay. Pictures made it look bigger in size than it actually is. There was a distinct musty smell upon arrival and had to open up windows and patio doors to air out. The next day when closing up the house to cool it down there was a swamp water smell or sewer like smell that never did go away. Location was close to USF as we were there for baseball. That was convenient. Outdoor patio area was nice and we were able to grill food for our baseball boys to come over. Disappointed that the cornhole boards weren’t there as listed and found out the prior tenants damaged them.

The host was very welcoming and responsive. It's just that the house itself was rather dated, with lots of little things that were inconvenient - e.g., dishwasher not attached to the counter frame so it would fall out if you didn't hold it well; fridge had crooked door that required an extra push to ensure closure; shower caddy collapsed out of nowhere; air conditioning kept turning on/off on its own causing waves of very cold and warm; etc.

I was very impressed with how clean and well-organized the house was. It felt cozy yet spacious — the perfect spot for my family and I to enjoy a fun family-weekend at USF.The location was super convenient, just minutes from campus. The host was very friendly and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We also appreciated the games provided — it made our stay even more enjoyable!

I loved almost everything about this property! It’s clear that Kathi is committed to providing top-tier customer service. The home was spotless, well-stocked with essentials, and perfectly located near many attractions. We also felt very safe in the neighborhood, which was a huge plus.As a very picky person, I can honestly say this property exceeded my expectations. Kathi was quick to respond to the very few needs we had, showing just how much thought she puts into each guest’s experience.Although I’m not an outdoorsy person, my family really enjoyed the backyard area and screened-in porch—it was a great space to relax and unwind.My only suggestion would be to consider adding ceiling fans in all the bedrooms for added comfort.That said, I would absolutely stay here again!

Needs improvement
The area was not the greatest . Inside of the house was clean, however there were a strong smell of mold which had my daughter allergic flares up. I did not like the fact we had to strip the beds before we left and pick up all the towels to place them in the washing machine .

Close to everything
We were in town for a softball tournament at Greco park which is a 3 minute drive. We made a few trips to Walmart for a few groceries which is maybe 5 or so minutes away and very close to USF campus. My only complaint about the house is minor, and it may just me being spoiled from other houses I’ve stayed in, but the house lacked some things I was expecting, such as salt and pepper and things of that nature in the kitchen. But overall the house was clean and looked like the pictures and the neighborhood was very quiet. We’ve stayed in the same neighborhood every year we have come for this tournament and never had any issues. Would stay here again and would recommend to other friends and family.
