We picked this location as it is near our daughter's home. We found that it was located close to many places to eat, shop, the beach, fast food and groceries. The home was wonderfully decorated and had so many nice touches. The pool was a must due to the 97 degree temps! the outdoor shower was perfect for after swimming. The welcome basket was just what we needed upon arrival. We didn't travel with our dog but she would have loved all the doggie amenities!
Highly recommend this home.

Everything was top notch and comfortable with the extra perks of beautiful decorating, nice, clean, screened in pool, fenced yard for our pooch's safety, home office space, lovely well kept yard and landscaping, close to everywhere we needed to go, including great restaurants:) Hosts were awesome and their attention to detail is awesome!

This house was simply perfect for us. They thought of everything a traveler l would need. As soon as you walk in, you get a warm greeting by all the plant life and the stunning decor. The house was so clean I felt as if I did not need to “refresh”anything before using. The beds were super comfortable and I honestly didn’t even want to leave. They have such a cute outdoor space (shower and seating area) pool and a wonderful backyard that our dog enjoyed very much!
We will be back to this house when visiting Tampa in the future!

We had a great Thanksgiving week in Tampa and were thrilled at how comfortable the house was! Everything was well set up for an easy visit, and I was especially grateful that the kitchen is well stocked so I was able to cook Thanksgiving dinner for our family too.
The outside sitting area was my favorite and if it had been a little warmer we would have used the pool more too.

Very cute home with great decor. The fresh smell upon entering was delightful. Lovely welcome basket with goodies my two boys thoroughly enjoyed. Very clean and well maintained with everything you need while on vacay. The pool area was very nice - a few critters, but, hey it’s FL! The outdoor shower was very refreshing and the shampoo was some of the best smelling shampoo I’ve ever used!
Appreciate the communication with Maegan; Great hosts!
Great location to all things Tampa - TampaZoo, FL Aquarium, Clearwater Beach, Armature to name a few.
Will definitely stay again if we head back down to Tampa!

My family decided to adventure out for a last minute get-a-way to Florida. The Foxtail Palm is a beautiful home with amazing and attentive hosts who provided everything we imagined and more. The house was immaculately cleaned and nicely decorated. My family loved the pool and patio area. It was the perfect haven for relaxing and watching the kids enjoy some pool time. The outside shower filled with beautiful plants adds to the tropical vibe.
The house was spacious enough to for my teenagers to enjoy time together and separate when necessary. Meagan and Brian have provided all of the necessities one could need for vacation. The Foxtail Palm is in a perfect location to access all of Tampa's major attractions, beaches, great restaurants and shopping. We look forward to returning again soon!!!

We stayed for a short weekend trip to visit our college student. The home was beautifully remodeled, inviting, and was well stocked with all kinds of creature comforts for guests. Our dog has a great time squirrel watching. The neighborhood is older, but very quiet.

Our family had a wonderful stay. We loved the attention to detail, including the house manual, plethora of towels and blankets, welcome basket, coffee, and kitchen supplies. We each had our separate area and a large common area. I can see this being great for couples and families. Meagan also communicated promptly and was so pleasant. I hope we’ll be able to return again soon.

We stayed here for half a week and loved it! We called in Uber Eats and Instacart for food, and went to St. Pete Beach during the day. The pool was great, and the home has all kinds of fantastic decorative live plants and landscaping all around the property. My wife also mentioned how much she loved the smell of the home when we first arrived. 😄 We loved the gift basket and can tell a lot of thought went into planning for this home. 5 Stars!

As soon as you walk in you were greeted with refreshing and clean smells. Everything is well thought out, has everything you need.

Great place for a nice getaway!
Meagan and Brian's place is the perfect place for a Tampa vacation! The pool was throughly enjoyed by the entire family and our pup enjoyed chasing lizards in the nice sized yard. My son LOVED the outdoor shower too! The home is clean, had everything we needed for a week long stay, and in beautifully decorated. There were even items for our pup!
The home is centrally located to many attractions and restaurants in the area and is a great home base.

Meagan is a wonderful host. She is very accommodating and communicates quickly.
The home is very clean and had all of the essentials we could have needed. The furniture is in very good condition and there are updated appliances and finishes throughout the house. The beds were very comfortable and ample linens were provided. Everything is just as described in the listing and accurately represented in the pictures.
We did not travel with pets, but the home is also well stocked for four-legged family members including a dog bed, food bowls and extra supplies like leashes. There is even a dog door out to the pool area.
The neighborhood is very convenient to shops, restaurants and major roads, but some of the surrounding houses are not as well kept as the listing.
We spent most of our time in and by the pool. It is a lovely place to relax during the day as well as in the evenings. The shaded seating area is very comfortable and the string lights provided a pleasant ambiance at night. Additional seating may be needed if your party was at maximum occupancy.
As a previous review stated, there is no ceiling fan in the Master suite which left the room feeling very stuffy in the evenings. We also had difficulty controlling the smart thermostat. It would have been helpful to have directions in the welcome binder.
Overall, Sun Bay South is one of the best VRBO properties we have stayed in and if we ever return to the area we would look to stay again.
