The property is exactly as advertised and as seen in the pictures. Communication with the host was prompt and every question was addressed. The property is clean, comfortable and has all the amenities of home. We were extremely pleased with our stay and would highly recommend this host and property.

Close to downtown Tampa, Raymond James stadium and the airport. This house provided everything we needed for a long weekend getaway for 2 families. Loved the outside bar and TVs everywhere. Had an issue one night and property manager took my call. Ranked communication a 4-star only because the electrician didn't come the next day as promised. Highly recommend this property!!

We had a wonderful vacation and the house was amazing! It had everything we needed. I usually have to go out and buy something that the listing claimed the property had, but not this time. The property manager was accessible for questions and fixed a small issue we ran into very quickly. My family would definitely stay again should we visit the area again.

The home was even better in person. It was a nice safe neighborhood. The home was super clean and very comfortable, it provided all the amenities that we needed: washer/dryer, outside patio area with TV sitting which included outside fridge and large pool area. There even was a enclosed sunroom for relaxing. It had games which we played and a pool table. Great Amenities!!!!! I had a party of 7 and it was more than enough space for all of us. They even provided snacks. Communication with the host was great and quick responses back with any questions I had. I would definitely rent again if I come back to Tampa. Great rental. I went to Busch Gardens, Adventure water park, casino, and fairgrounds and this home was in good great distance to all 4 sites. And it’s super close to the airport which is what I wanted.

We had a great time at Sunshine house! We brought our daughter and a friend, early teens, who loved the pool and the pool table. Everything was well thought out, clean, and practical. Pool area really nice. We had good access to activities - Tarpon Springs, Clearwater and Busch Gardens. We will stay longer next time!

Let me start with the negatives. First, Waters Ave (the nearest major road) can be difficult to get across depending on time of day. Second, this home is under renovation. With that said, the renovations appear to be 95+% done (missing things like a toilet paper roll holder in master bath), and regardless of status, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. This home's 95% is an average homes 150%, in a (few) word(s), this place is gorgeous, peaceful, and quite frankly possibly in the top 5 best homes I have ever been in, and second best VRBO rental I have ever had (beaten only by a waterfront "mansion" in Hawaii). The hosts were pleasant, helpful and easy to contact. The home was well stocked, and if it wasn't for a spate of "bad" Tampa weather, my kids would have camped in the pool. Any true faults with this place would be nitpicking at best, and this vacation home receives my highest award, "I would be willing to buy it." Not only do I heartily recommend staying at Rupert's Escape, but if I found myself in need, I would not hesitate to stay here again.
