It's game on in our game room with our top of the line foosball table, hookey board, and plenty of other board games to choose from.
Or just stay inside and have a movie night. Grab your popcorn at our popcorn station and chill at our foot massager and soak up a great flick on several apps to choose from like Showtime, Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Roku live and more!
Wanna go out? Plenty of great restaurants just steps away like Italian, Mexican, and Japanese. And a few blocks away seafood on the Bay at the Salt Shack!

Amazing
The property looked just like the listing all the beds were extremely comfortable . The house was close to shopping restaurants and grocery stores. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We were there for the Heritage Cigar Festival that takes place in Ybor City, the house was a 20 min drive away. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. Oh and Kim was amazing and quick to respond to any questions I had which were few. I will be back!

Great stay!!
We rented this property for three months over the summer and had a great stay. Communication with the property owner was fantastic - very prompt and accommodating. Location is perfect, close to shopping and a short drive to downtown, TGH, etc. Very family friendly neighborhood with lots of walking space. House has reliable internet (I was able to work remotely), super cute styling, all appliances worked well, Definitely recommend staying at the property!

Cozy home away from Home
This property is all we needed to feel comfortable. It is located in a good area, easy access to shopping, food, beaches, and highway access. Very clean and easy to find. It was a comfortable cozy place while away from home. The host was quick to respond and a joy. The home overall was lovely and fit all of my family needs. Great option.

Would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is very neatly decorated and clean, in a safe and quiet area, and near anything you might need. Very close to the airbase, and within a 30 minute drive to most anyting Tampa or Tampa Bay you would want to do. Extra towels and bed linens, kitchen, laundry, and bathroom necessities are extra touches that made us feel at home. If in the area, I would definitely stay again!

Winding down with our family after a week of looking at schools for my daughter in Florida. Kim's home was a perfect ending to our trip to Florida and the location in South Tampa made easy access to the city and to St Pete's! Can't go wrong staying here!
