Go to the Grotto!
The home and its many outdoor features (outdoor bar/lounges, grotto, lazy river, hot tub, basketball court, tree-lined acreage, etc.) along with plenty of indoor areas for gathering, game playing, etc., offered many options for both a fun-filled vacation getaway. The hosts were exactly what VRBO renters desire: great communication as well as a comfortable, well-appointed home.

We loved our stay. Lots of space, the pool area is amazing as described. Not too far of a drive to Downtown Tampa, but has the feeling of being far away from the city. Jennifer is great with communication. You will not be disappointed

Lazy river luxury
Stayed for 4 days and went in the pool everyday. It was amazing. Ordered DoorDash and had it delivered straight to the house for every meal. It was quiet and nestled in the back away from everyone. Perfect getaway spot! Loved it and will definitely be back.

All I wanted to use was the hot tub
I was so sick of hot tubs not working on all my travels this past year, and this one was no different. The hot tub was not working and it did not get fixed till the last day I was there. I am sensitive to cold temperatures so the pool was too cold for me. Waste of money, I regret staying there. It was father’s day weekend and my dad was dead, so I was trying to do something to not be so depressed about it. Instead I waited all day father’s day for service they never called or arrived. Next day they let me know they had truck issues and never called to let me know so I could do something besides wait for a truck on father’s day.

Great place to have a family reunion.
The pool area was the main attraction for everyone. Close to stores and attractions. Nice home to enjoy, everything you need just bring your groceries. Our daughter was getting married at a venue called Crescent Lake which was 15 mins. away so this home was ideal for us. You want go wrong renting this place.

The house that had everything!
We had such a great time at this property. 12 of us stayed here and we had more than enough room for everyone. The pool was just as amazing as the pictures if not even better. So much to do for the little ones in our group that we never had to leave. We were a quick trip away from Tampa and close to lots of grocery stores. Jen, our host, was wonderful. She addressed all concerns and needs and gave some great recs on places to go with the kids and place to dine. Would love to make this home an annual vacation spot for us!

Great Place, Great Time!
Wow what a place! We had three families with kids and the place was plenty big and well furnished, had everything we needed. The pool is absolutely incredible, we found we didn't need to go anywhere (did do one beach day) because the kids and adults were having so much fun by the pool. Owner was very responsive to any concerns. We would definitely go back!

Great home for Spring Break!
Our whole family stayed here for Spring Break! We couldn’t keep the kids out of the pool. It’s a great home with everything you could need. It was close enough to Spring Training and everything we wanted to do in Tampa but felt far away from everything because the house sits so far back from the road. A real paradise. The host was very helpful and communicative. We had 0 issues the whole time we were there. We will definitely stay again!

Great house, great host!
We chose this house due to the proximity of the golf courses we were playing and the pool. We had 8 guys stay here comfortably. The pool is obviously incredible. Simply an amazing property. The host, Jen, was extremely responsive to our questions and was very patient with us. We would definitely rent this home again in the future.

Overall
We enjoyed our stay overall but there were some disappointments. Towels provided were old and worn and not enough face towels for our group. Mattress pads were badly stained. Patio furniture was very dirty. Guests are asked to take garbage to entrance of driveway, which is about a 5 minute walk, not cool.

Pool With A House
Its all about the pool. Then its the home and amenities. Never a dull moment with all the amenities and plenty of space in this large home and property to find a nice quiet spot to forget you're only minutes from everything. We found all we needed to entertain our family of every age group. Never had a dull moment. Comfort abounds indoor and out. Waking up each day to the distant sound of farm life made for a good day's start. You wont be let down. Especially if you have any questions or needs as these are immediately addressed.
