The patio is inviting all to unwind and relax after a busy day at play, work, venturing or exploring all that Tampa has to offer.

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back. The host was very accommodating and communicative from the time we booked—quickly answering questions before our stay, checking in during our visit, and making checkout easy.The backyard was one of our favorite parts. It was large, beautiful, and had plenty of space for my pup to run around. The fire pit and hanging benches were such a cozy touch. We especially loved sitting by the fire in the evening and enjoying the warmth.The house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. When we initially had a small issue gaining access to the home, the host immediately contacted her handyman, who came right away and remained available throughout our stay in case anything else came up. That level of responsiveness was greatly appreciated.Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely stay here again.

It served its purpose

Walking in it looks clean. But it is not. The floor, countertops, shelves, everything was filthy dirty. We all refused to walk barefoot. We could not enjoy the firepit (which is the main reason I booked this place) because the swings were covered in dirt and mold. The fence is falling down in multiple places so I did not feel comfortable leaving the door alone out back afraid he might get out. The light switch in the bathroom is kinda dangling there from the wall. We were locked out on our last day. We left for breakfast and when we came back to gather our things, the code was changed and we no longer had access (this was an hour before check out time). Luckily we left the backdoor unlocked so we were able to get in. This placed served it's purpose for sleeping only. I would not stay here again unless they clean and fix things.

Great yard!!

This was a great little house that put us right near everything we needed to be close to. We were at a volleyball tourney at the fairgrounds and this location was perfect. Not too far away. Right near campus as well with many stores close by. There is a really nice backyard with a small grill for cooking. Would stay again!! Thanks!!

New updates, terrific host, gentrified community

My teenage son and I visited for a soccer tournament. The home is situated in a neighborhood that is going through gentrification so there are updated and well kept homes as well as homes in need of repairs and a lawn mower. The inside is gorgeous and updated. The kitchen is open and bright and the bathroom shower was amazing. Everything worked well. It is very close to Busch Gardens and USF. Gris is a fantastic host - very responsive during my entire stay.

Friendly for kids and pets

This older but thoughtfully renovated home is tiled throughout, making it a good choice for guests with kids and dogs. We appreciated the host's flexibility in letting us bring both of our dogs. The fenced back yard was a bonus. Griselda's communication with us was excellent. The house is located in a non-gentrified neighborhood in the shadow of Busch Gardens. The street has an interesting mixture of large dream homes overlooking the river and rundown homes with appliances in the front yard. But you can't pick your neighbors, and if visiting Busch Gardens is an aim for your trip, you couldn't pick a more convenient spot. It's quiet, too. The beds are very comfortable. The back yard is full of gorgeous oaks with Spanish moss. But there's a small price for their beauty: They drop a lot of leaves and debris. We had to protect our food outside, and we vacuumed a couple times because the dogs tracked in debris on their paws. Four things would bump this listing up to a 5-star property: an additional pan for the kitchen because it has a double oven and only one sheet pan; extras like trash bags and food wraps for the kitchen; a new futon cushion in the living area; and blinds or wider curtains on the windows in the common areas. There are sheers, but you can see straight into the kitchen from the street at night. As a woman for whom safety is a priority, I felt a little uneasy at first. The bedroom windows are sufficiently covered. Overall, this was a nice place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Griselda’s cottage. She kept in touch to make sure we were taken care of.I had difficulty at first, with the app lock, but it was probably user error. After that, a breeze to lock & secure. Enjoyed our stay!
