- "Stay was awesome, Host was very committed to our comfort and very responsive. House wasn’t clean upon check in and our code didn’t work, but he made sure that was fixed within 5 minutes of our arrival! House is good, only moan I would have is the shower could have better water pressure, but even then, it was way cheaper than any hotel in the area and we were about dead center in Tampa the entire time with quick access to everything, there is no parking lot style parking, but the street in the front of the house has plenty of parking and lights and nobody messed with anything the entire time we were there.

Our rooms were comfortable and we didn't have any issues. There was plenty of space for the five of us (4 adults and one teenager).The check-in and check-out instructions were pretty simple and didn't take long to complete.

- "NO!! it states that you have the entire home. The photos very misleading as the image you see in the listing is the front of the home we were told. We had a three bedroom home in reality the side area where you see the construction is a small apartment, which they have squeezed in three bedrooms. There is no living room. The kitchen only has a refrigerator. There’s only one TV and it’s in one bedroom so if you have a lot of family over or six people, you have nowhere to sit to enjoy time or downtime together.THE STOVE. WASHER AND DRYER ARE OUTSIDE!!! Would NEVER RENT AGAIN!!! OH AND THEY WATCH YOU ON THE RING CAMERA. "

Guest Reviews:

- "Fantastic" - "Beautiful sunsets and sunrises." - "The view was gorgeous. Home was comfortable and clean. Darryl was very easy to contact and very responsive. We enjoyed our stay visiting family in Ruskin and traveling to beaches and other attractions." - "This review is overdue. We stayed the first week in May ‘23 and it was incredible. It’s conveniently close to anything we needed and just 35-40 min south of Tampa. The weather and views were stunning. I brought my gf here for a surprise trip for her 40th birthday and ended the trip engaged with a beautiful sunset view from the dock and just a couple minutes after she said yes, we saw a dolphin surfacing about 50-75ft off the dock. You could not have timed it better. This place was clean and nearly perfect. The only knock (which isn’t really much of an issue or complaint), but the shower drain backed up and stopped draining one of the days we were there. I texted the owner and got no response whatsoever or even a follow up, which surprised me but wasn’t the end of the world. Luckily we took care of the water backup with the shower drain ourselves and it was fine the rest of our trip so crisis averted. Would definitely stay here again without a doubt!"

- "Great property, cozy house." - "The pictures do not do this place justice. Cute, clean and relaxing cottage. Having the horses right outside the window and welcomed you every time you came home or outside.. They provided carrots and treats for the horses, which was a nice treat. Absolutely enjoyed our stay. The kitchen had what we needed to cook our meals. Dave was always quick to respond to any questions. Check in was easy and the cottage was very clean. Keep in mind the water is on a well and will have a little sulfur smell. The cottage is out the country but yet very close to stores and restaurants. Very dog friendly. I would highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back."

Guest Reviews:

- "We were in Tampa for a few days to drop our daughter off at the University of Tampa, so we thought we would try a VRBO rental, since the hotels are very expensive in Tampa The Apartment was exactly as advertised. It was very clean and beautifully furnished. The neighborhood was quiet, clean and safe. I advised the owner, Devin, that I would be arriving late at night. When we arrived there were snacks and drinks waiting for us in the apartment put out by the owner. After a long day of traveling this was a very pleasant and appreciated surprise. I HIGHLY recommend this rental. I will be staying here again when I return to Tampa. Thank you Devin and Pam."

Two flat screen TVs with Roku-high end bamboo hard wood flooring-comfortable high thread count sheets on queen bed. Sleeper sofa in livingroom. All kitchen appliances including a gas range-Keurig coffee bar. Wooded setting-large deck with views of the lake. Ample parking space in front of main house-no parking in the back next to the lakehouse. Wireless high-speed internet. In unit washer and dryer. Property has a gas grill for use by guests.The property is a farm-like setting with chickens, 2 Nigerian dwarf goats, a Khatadan lamb, a lab mix, a Great Pyrenees, and 3 miniature donkeys. As mentioned, the lakehouse is in back of the main house on the lake shore. You will park in front and walk to the lakehouse. We have a garden cart to help you move your belongings. It's not a long walk.

The property is in a very private, quiet area of Odessa. We are on a dead-end street with very little traffic. The following information should help you to decide if this stay would be for you before you arrive, and are disappointed.

The property does contain THREE houses - the lakehouse, the guesthouse, and the main house (where we live). All have access to the backyard.

I have included photos that illustrate the proximity of the three houses. PLEASE UNDERSTAND: This is NOT an isolated house alone on the lake. Please do not book if this will be a problem for you.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE PET FRIENDLY. We are clean freaks and we clean very thoroughly after each guest, but as pet parents know, those animal hairs are tricky little things and as hard as we try to find them all, we may miss some. Also some larger items (sofas, chairs, decorative pillows, etc.) are not replaced after each guest. Please understand that if you are allergic to animals, don't care for animals, are offended by the occasional pet hair or paw print that might have been missed while cleaning, or in general do not like or are unfamiliar with spaces where animals have been, please do not book with us.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) We obviously love animals and welcome housebroken dogs and cats with litter boxes. BUT, Please don't book if your dog uses potty pads. We have wood floors. We have not charged a pet fee in the past. Unfortunately not all guests have been courteous in cleaning up after their pets. Our cleaner is charging us an additional fee after stays with pets. To cover this cost, we must add a pet fee to our bookings. So sorry-We tried to avoid this!!!!

2) We love scents and use Wallflower essential oil plugins. If you are allergic or prefer no scent, please let us know and we will remove them before your arrival.

Guest Reviews:

- "My wife and I stayed at this beautiful private cottage tucked away in Tampa. It was our 8 yr anniversary and I was looking for a quick getaway for us but we couldn’t be too far from home (had to make sure our children - 🐈 were ok) our usual pet sitter was unavailable. So the Location was perfect - and can I tell you how cool it was to pull into the gravel driveway get out of the car and open the tan gate that feels like it transports you to another place. The walkway , the view out to the private lake and the cottage itself were all outstanding . To top it all off Kristin (our host) was incredible. Her attention to detail is impeccable, the overall coziness of the cottage , the colors , the decor , the music playing when you check in.. it was all perfect. In addition to that , she remembered that I mentioned it was our anniversary and she wrote the nicest welcome/congratulations card for us and also comped us a bottle of wine ! Too much 😊. You can’t go wrong staying here , if you’re looking for a quiet , private , enchanting location that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into an alternate universe (in a good way) you won’t be disappointed."

When we arrived to the rental property they greeted us with such hospitality and even gave us a gift basket with chips, coffee and tea. They constantly kept in communication with every question we had. I invited Jessica to kayak with me since it’s the first I have ever done it and she didn’t even hesitate to say yes, but they her dad offered to take all of us the pontoon since I had my family with me and no one will feel left out. I spend my time outside listening to Mother Nature on the jacuzzi just enjoying the time I had left there and taking in the beautiful view.

Wonderful 2-Br, 2 Bath Cottage near the river.
Cottage
Tampa

Welcome to my little cottage in the city. The house was built in 1926 but has been fully remodeled with modern style, while keeping the charm of an older home. Even though it's close to everything Tampa has to offer, it still has the feeling of that little, quiet neighborhood near the river. This is my get away home. I love the front porch to sit on with a cold beverage and watch neighbors stroll by walking their dogs. The river park is very close by which is a nice walk from the cottage.

The space
You'll find 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (one has shower, no tub). Smart TVs in the bedrooms and living room. Strong wifi. Fully-equipped kitchen. Outside seating on the front and back porches and at the table beside the house. Parking. Quiet neighborhood but close to everything.

Guest access
You'll have access to the entire house and yard.

Other things to note
Please remember that this is a quiet, friendly neighborhood. Please be a good neighbor. Its an older bungalow, it has creaks , gets warm sometimes (has central air but I also put in a window air conditioner) and is just in a wonderful neighborhood.
