The house is in the heart of South Tampa, two blocks from Bayshore Blvd. and within walking distance to the Soho district that features world class restaurants and shopping. The famous Bern's Steakhouse is less than half a mile away. Hyde Park Village is a quaint shopping area less than a mile away that also features some landmark Tampa restaurants, such as On Swann and Goody's. Once you get on Bayshore, you can head north into downtown with the Amalie Arena, home of the Stanley Cup champions two years in a row, only 2.5 miles away. Our Super bowl champs, the Tampa Bay Bucs, play at Raymond James Stadium, which is a short Uber away. Downtown Tampa also features the Riverwalk, the University of Tampa, Sparkman Wharf, and Armature Works. There are several city parks as well. The beautiful Gulf beaches are a 30-45 minute drive away. And the Orlando theme parks are an hour and 15 minute drive on I-4. We are truly in the heart of Tampa Bay!

We were in town for a funeral, and Christy’s home was perfect! She was very kind, responsive, and even made some special accommodations for us. The home itself has everything you could need!

The property was exactly as advertised. We stayed as a family of 7, ages 20 - 85 and had a great time and plenty of room. Excellent access to Bayshore for sunrise walking as well as good access to Tampa and the surrounding area. Neighborhood is quiet and walking access to several restaurants. Everything was very clean with all amenities thought of. For example, the outdoor grill was pristine and the owners thought to have a spare tank available (which we needed). Great stay, we will be back!

We stayed in the house twice this year and it was the perfect house for our family. Very close and convenient to everything we wanted to do in Tampa.

Rehearsal dinner at Jackson’s Bistro and wedding at The Edition were easy to get to, just a short drive down beautiful Bayshore, well under 10 minutes. The home was beautiful and provided plenty of space for the eight adults staying over a long weekend. Front porch nice for morning coffee and it’s only a 5 minute walk to Bayshore for walks along the bay. Back yard with pool and hot tub (but not heated) and a fireplace was comfortable and private, though we did not get to use the back yard much due to wedding activities in the evenings.

Me and my friends were down there for the World Flag Tournaments. We were gone for most of our stay but it was nice to come back to a relaxing place to recover and relax. The extra touches made it even better would definitely come back again

This house was perfect for our short stay, house had every amenity needed for us! Close enough to walk to restaurants, a short ride to Hyde park with an even better selection of restaurants and shopping. Beds were very comfortable. Christy is very responsive and accommodating! Thank you!

Christy has a beautiful, and clean house that has everything you could need if coming with a large group. Although the house is not huge, it does have 5 bedrooms, so it can sleep a lot of people comfortably. And the beds are very comfortable. Although only 3 bathrooms, they are newly renovated with luxurious amenities. The pool is nice, medium size, with a table and chairs so it's a great place to spend time with the kids. The location is solid, although nothing is close walking distance. You'll definitely want a car, but that's no problem because their driveway fits 2 cars, plus you can park on the street. Christy was very helpful, nice and responsive which I really appreciated. One piece of caution though: the security deposit is VERY HIGH - $5K (and we only stayed 3 nights). I think this is way too high for the property itself and the nightly rate. Plus, Vrbo charges your credit card for this well before you check in, and you don't get it back until basically 3 weeks after checkout. So depending on your credit card's billing cycle, this may be actually taken out of your bank account before it's refunded to you. I can see this causing cash flow problems for some.

Large extended family visiting our kid going to UT for long weekend. Beautiful home that was tastefully decorated. We’ve stayed in plenty of other VRBO Homes and this location had lot of little extra amenities. Could not find anything negative to share. Communication with Christy was quick and thorough. Thanks for sharing your Home with us and we will be booking this home in the future!
