About this house rental

Luxuriously updated 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom property located in a private setting on a lake with a newly constructed dock for fishing essentially in north Tampa! Enjoy quiet and idyllic surroundings, yet close to Busch Gardens (6.4 miles and 15 minute drive), USF/Moffitt Cancer Center (4.4 miles and 12 minute drive), and downtown Tampa (12 miles). Easy access to major highways (0.25 miles to 41 and 2.5 miles to highway I-275). The beautiful beaches of Clearwater are 36 miles and a 45 minute drive away.

The home has been newly updated throughout with luxury features. Expansive views of the beautiful lake can be enjoyed from numerous large windows in the kitchen and living room and a French door in the master bedroom.

The single story home features a large kitchen with over-sized island, adjacent formal dining room, a large living room with a baby grand piano, and a laundry room with state of the art washer and dryer. The spacious master bedroom has 2 king beds, a sitting area with sofa and lounge, and a large private luxury master bathroom with a soaking tub and a frameless shower all surrounded by beautiful travertine tiles. A large French door with views of the lake leads to a private new paver patio with lounge chairs. The second bedroom has two full beds, and has its own private bathroom with shower. The third bedroom has a bunk bed with 2 twin beds. All beds feature luxurious high-end thick mattresses as well as high quality bed sheets of at least 1000 thread count.

The house is located directly on a beautiful fishing lake, which is about 30-40 feet behind the back of the house.

We had a great family vacation. The small lake was full of wildlife and it was a quiet neighborhood. The house was just the right size for the 5 of us and very clean. Our only complaint would be while the couches are cute they are not comfortable. Other than that, I would highly recommend it.

We had a lovely five day stay at Michael’s house. It has nice updates and there was plenty of room for our party of seven. A very welcoming space and felt very homey with a really nice aesthetic. The master has two comfortable king beds plus a little seating area that worked perfectly for the teens to huddle up and play video games at night. The other two bedrooms were comfortable size also, not quite as roomy. The showers all had rain shower heads so it was relaxing after a long day in the sun. The kitchen was also nice with a great island to gather around and plenty of seating in the dining room and lanai. We did a lot of cooking so the limited pans and bowls/serving dishes was a little disappointing but there were plenty of glasses and plates to eat on. I would suggest if you plan on cooking to bring along pans for the oven and spices. A couple of little quirky things, there is no door on the bathroom in the master and a see through door in on the other on-suite so privacy is limited. Also the thermostat was constantly adjusting and the house did not get very cool. There are no fans so we just went and purchased one to help regulate the air flow and to help cool down the rooms with no vents. The teens throughly enjoyed themselves fishing off the dock. They spent hours out there and there are plenty of fish eager to take the bait. The homeowner was very accommodating and answered questions quickly.

This house was perfect for our family of four adults (parents and two adult offspring). Each bedroom had its own bathroom, two ensuite and one just across the hall. The rooms were spacious, especially the master bedroom. The beds were comfortable, too, with plenty of pillows. The backyard was beautiful, with a calm lake setting. Overall, the location was convenient, though there are two caveats: it's an older neighborhood with a mix of mostly older and a few newer homes, and the street is narrow so neighbors park on the street, including on the edge of the VRBO property and directly behind the driveway (making backing out a bit difficult). Second, there are railroad tracks very nearby. That didn't bother us in the master bedroom, but family members in the other bedrooms said they were awakened by train horns. Both were more minor inconveniences than major problems. The best things about the property were the sparkling cleanliness; the convenient, fully-equipped modern kitchen with icemaking refrigerator, island seating, and open floorplan; the lovely lakefront backyard; the pet friendliness (yay! Our sweet Cavalier enjoyed flopping down on the cool tile, and loved chasing lizards); the comfort of each bedroom having a TV, even if we never did figure out how to make the cable in the living room work; security cameras for safety; the lack of hidden fees (some VRBO owners add ridiculous charges like "additional guest" fees even when the number of bedrooms exceeds the number of guests); and the convenience of check-out (there were no elaborate requirements to strip the beds or perform other tasks that are typically included in cleaning fees). The location was convenient to Lutz, Carollwood, and north Tampa.

My wife was recently diagnosed with cancer and we realized that Moffitt Cancer Center was where we wanted her to get treated. We are not typically hotel people and were looking for somewhere with a little space. This home fit our needs perfectly and the host was flexible after we communicated that one of the treatments would take a little longer than anticipated on check-out day. Best regards to Mike and being super kind and patient given what we are going through. You will not regret renting this house if you want a place with a view, clean accommodations, and a place to cook your own meals. Ryan and Ashley

Lots of space. Good appliances. Well equipped. Noisy air conditioning. Cushions for outdoor chairs and lounges were disgraceful. Very dirty. House needs a new front door. Sunlight shines through the seams. Fishing was great from the dock. Good location for sightseeing to various places. Quiet enough. Needs small row boat.

The house was perfect for me and my husband plus my brother and dad. The lake in back creates a peaceful space and the open concept kitchen, living room and screened porch creates plenty of room. Communication with the owner was perfect. The only issues we have with the house is that the propane tank ran out while we were grilling and we didn’t see a back up tank. And the beds in the master bedroom were too soft for my taste. Otherwise, I recommend this house.

A Time to Relax and Enjoy

A Time to Relax and Enjoy

I had a business trip to Tampa, and we flew in a few days early. My wife daughter in law and 2 grandkids. Decided to give this place a try. Our flight landed in the morning. Mike (owner) allowed us to check in early, which was a great help. My grandson was excited seeing the water and dock. I had asked Mike if there was any fishing gear - and he left a fishing rod for us. My grandson fished off the dock and caught some decent bass. They all went to Busch Gardens (a short drive away) while I relaxed and did some work. I took a break and caught a couple very nice bass. It was all very nice. Beds were comfy, grill was clean and worked great, kitchen had what we needed. I would definitely stay again. My only regret: We didn't stay long enough... A big thank you to Mike. Any questions, he answered right away. Highly Recommend.

Short Stay!

Short Stay!

We enjoyed the house. There were 6 of us who was attending a conference. One of the girls suggested having a blender added to the kitchen and also larger pots and bowls for mixing. I was really disappointed with the yard. It was creepy and didn't dare walk out the to dock. Maybe better yard service would be great. Everything else was great! We go back next year and wouldn't mind renting the property again.

I loved going out back to overlook the pond and the resident ducks in the morning and evening. Properly stocked. Kudos to a well-done job on their first rental week! Everyone slept great on all the beds, even the bunk beds (adult male said he slept great). Lots of pillows, etc. The bath towels were obscenely luxurious! Piano adds a lovely touch. Great value! *****
