Nice neighborhood. It was just my husband, dog and I, but house would be comfortable for at least 4 more. Backyard is shared with the neighbor, so we did not let our dog run loose. Less than 10 min. to Hard Rock and Amphitheater. I would stay here again.

So much to do in the area! Several major local attractions are just a stone's throw away (Busch Gardens, Hard Rock Cafe Casino...) The house is clean, quite, and comfortable; the rental was also furnished nicely, with plenty of room for everyone. Too much good to say... Trying to properly describe everything we liked about this property, would have me typing forever :)

House was all that was posted and more. There is a great view of the water.

My two weeks there were just ok. The two living room TV's were Roku, which I've never used, so a booklet or instruction sheet would have been helpful. No lamps in the two living rooms, only the bright ceiling fan lights. Having a side or floor lamp would have helped to see the remote when using it. The photos showed the lounge chair in the backyard with a thick cushion but when I arrived there was an old, ratty one on it. I eventually saw the nice one on the porch thrown over things in the corner. The photos showed the porch with the grill, table and chairs, and two adirondak chairs but that wasn't the case when I was there. No idea where the adirondak chairs were. The windows on the porch wouldn't open so sitting out there wasn't possible because of the heat. The photos also showed a foot rest for the white lounge chair but that didn't exist either. The refrigerator kept my food barely cold. If you come with a dog check out the Al Lopez park. It's about 7 miles from the house, 132 acres, with a 1.2 mile walking path. Many benches, shelters, two large play areas, big fenced in dog park, etc. A perfect place to spend the day. I don't mean to sound so negative about this rental, but I do believe there are improvements that could be made. I wouldn't stay there again.

Our travel agent found us this place and it was amazing. It was clean, easy to access, and the views were spectacular.
The sunrise and sunset from the backyard was beautiful.
Thank you Eric for sharing this place.

Lovely, peaceful, quiet, private lake front! Covered patio, surrounding bamboo trees and lake breeze made sitting outside enjoyable throughout the day.
Comfortably furnished. Also, well situated in the Tampa area. Owner responds quickly to texts. Will definitely stay again when visiting Tampa!

Home away from home
This house is a cute little Florida home with a beautiful lake in the back yard. We saw some of the most beautiful sunsets. Everything was clean and amply stocked, Eric was easy to contact for questions and knowledgeable about the area. We would definitely stay here again.

found it very peaceful and comfortable. I enjoyed having my morning coffee and yoga on the dock with the ducks, cranes, and turtles. Everything was easy to find and there was plenty of room for 5 grown adults. There was plenty of sitting room, for when we wanted to have down time and watch T.V.. It was very clean and organized

Went for my son’s birthday. We barbecued the first night and ate by the water. There was a smoker too. Close to Busch Gardens. Loved the quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed the backyard. Definitely needs some dark window shades and the house smelled musky when we entered,but we took care of it with some candles and air freshener.

This house was a great place to stay for our family Tampa trip. The backyard on the lake is beautiful. Two out of three beds were comfy. The house smelled a little musty when we arrived, but was fixed with some air fresheners and plugins. Definitely needs room-darkening curtains in the bedrooms though. We were up at 6am! Had a great time here.

We visited Tampa for Busch Gardens. My husband chose the house because it was on the water and he wanted to fish. We enjoyed our stay. It's close to Busch Gardens, but no so close that you get caught up in tourist traffic.

If you like to take vacations that have adventure and fun, and not just be a beach bum, this is the place for you. We were able to get to all of our planned activities within an hour. If we would have stayed on the beach it would have added 40+ minutes to Orlando and the swamp tour we did. On the days we were beach bums, we were at the beach in 40 minutes. Neighborhood is quiet and full of animal life.

The house is just as advertised. Great location! Literally a 3 minute Uber ride to the casino. Sits on a lake with easy access for the kayaks. Easy check in and the owner is very responsive. Thanks Eric!

Enjoyable
House was just as described and very convenient to everything (casino, beaches,Busch gardens etc). Outdoor space was wonderful and really enjoyed the bat box. Eric was easy to work with and although lives right next door respected our space and privacy....but was available if needed. Recommend highly

We had a few laughable moments upon checking into the property, but our stay was just what we needed. The owner was extremely personable and accommodating. The back yard was where we spent most of our time and we used all of the amenities (grills, kayaks, cornhole). The view was great at night and we thoroughly enjoyed the covered area. The location was perfect and easy to get to via all highways. Plenty of parking for guests and the 2 king beds were comfortable...queen one not so much. I would stay here again and recommend to others.

Tampa Girl who came home
Eric’s property was very nice! It is right on the lake and just like the pictures. I’m from Tampa, and I enjoyed staying there so much. Very nice and quiet location. There were a little bit of bugs, but it is expected being so close to the lake. Eric communicated with me EXTREMELY well and fast. I would recommend this place to everyone. 9/10.

great place on the water
We stayed here as a family attending a relative's wedding. The location was great for us. The house was perfect for our needs. We loved the backyard being on the lake for fishing and enjoying our meals. The night time view of Hard Rock Casino lite up with lights was beautiful. We would stay here again.
