Sunny Haven House | 4BD & Sleeps 10 | Heated Pool | Near Busch Gardens, Tampa

Sunny Haven House is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Tampa pool home set up for groups and families. Private heated pool, fully fenced backyard, and a game room with a pool table - all 5 minutes from Busch Gardens and Adventure Island.

Set in Tampa's University area, one of the city's most central neighborhoods, with grocery stores and restaurants within minutes and every major attraction within easy reach.

## WHY THIS PROPERTY?
Most hotels near the parks mean cramped rooms, shared pools, and eating out every meal. Sunny Haven House gives your group a private home with a heated pool, a real kitchen, a game room, and enough space for 10 people to actually be comfortable together.

The price per person typically comes out well below comparable hotel rooms - and you get a lot more. You control the schedule, you have the pool to yourselves, and you're not paying resort fees on top of everything else.

## THE HOME
Open-plan living, kitchen, and dining all connected - the cook isn't stuck behind a wall while everyone else is in the living room. Large L-shaped couch, dining table that seats 8, and a fully equipped kitchen stocked for real meals. The game room with pool table, ping pong, and dining combo sits right off the main living area.

1,334 sq ft single family layout keeps the group together without feeling cramped.

## SLEEPING 10

- Bedroom 1: King bed - smart TV, full-length mirror, spacious closet. Sleeps 2
- Bedroom 2: King bed - smart TV, storage, warm lighting. Sleeps 2
- Bedroom 3: Queen bed + twin/twin bunk bed - smart TV. Sleeps 4
- Bedroom 4: Bunk bed setup - great for kids or extra guests. Sleeps 2

Fresh linens provided throughout. Two full bathrooms - one with a shower/tub combo, one with a walk-in shower.

## OUTSIDE
The heated pool runs year-round. Pool heating is $35/night and must be selected before arrival - it can't be changed mid-stay. The backyard is fully fenced and completely private - no shared pool, no pool hours, no neighbors walking through.

Outdoor seating and BBQ grill. Driveway parking for 4 vehicles right on the property.

## WHAT GUESTS SAY
⭐ Frank A. — 10/10 Excellent | March 2026 · Stayed 3 nights
"Honestly this was one of the best house rentals I've ever stayed at. The host was super accommodating, VERY responsive to messages promptly, and just in general very friendly. Normally there's always at least one thing to nit-pick with a house rental and there truly were none here. Pool was great, house was as advertised, the bedrooms were perfectly accommodating for our group. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. 10/10 would recommend and would stay there again next time I am in Tampa."

We rented a house near USF in Tampa and had a great experience. Everything that was advertised was exactly as listed, the house was clean and comfortable, and the pool was a great bonus. The best part was how responsive the agent was — anytime we had a question, they got back to us quickly and were very helpful. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable rental experience!

Hosts are great communicators

The hosts were great at communicating and responding quickly. We had a little issue with the A/C when we arrive, but was resolved quickly. This did fit for our family and allowed us to have some space to spread out. This was exactly what was advertised, but nothing more. The bare minimum for showing and photos were used. One king bedroom had no place for clothing except for hangers. Not even a luggage rack. The bathrooms were exceptionally small.

New Years Getaway

Overall we were impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The size was just right for our group of 9 with exception of the bathrooms which were much smaller than what they look like in the pictures. They do have strict rules around number of vehicles, parties, and noise due to ordinances but this wasn’t an issue for us. We were very disappointed in the fact that we were unable to use the heated pool. We specifically booked a house with a heated pool to utilize with our kids. The temp was set to 80 initially but it was only at 72. After speaking with the property management team they explained that it takes a while to heat up (mind you we asked for it to be heated and ready to go on Friday for use on Saturday and Sunday). The pool never heated up and instead cooled down to 68 after they increased the temp to 90. The management team was helpful and didn’t charge us the fees since we weren’t able to use. Hopefully they fix the heating issue in pool before others book to use. Otherwise, it was a nice house. Very clean. And property management team were readily available and easy to work with!

Tampa Rental

The house was beautifully remodeled. Very clean and comfortable. Check in process was easy and communication with property manager was good. Unfortunately, the outdoor space was misrepresented. The leaves from the surrounding trees were everywhere and so many in the pool. We had to try and clean them out every day. A simple pool cover would of made it easier. Also, the house is located next door to a large automotive garage, so the noise was often so loud, we had to go inside.
