The host was great and the house was perfect for 4 adults on a Busch Gardens trip. Great little place to stay with everything you need. I think my only complaint would be the cars speeding by and revving up their engines.

Three generation vacay

This cozy home is just steps from Busch Gardens and very close to Adventure Island. The house was very clean and well maintained. Our only inconvenience was that the thermostat was on a preset timer, and we got quite warm during the night. We appreciate that the host wants to keep utility bills down, but July in Florida is really uncomfortable even at night. This was not enough of a problem to alert the owner, but something we wished we had known prior to booking.

Cozy Cute and Walking Distance to Park

Enjoyed our stay. This place was perfect for our weekend getaway. We were able to just walk to the park which saved the almost $40 park fee. Enjoyed the complmentary waters and snacks. It was a nice touch.

Clean well equipped home, found as described, no issues. Good for a one night stay. Pillows/mattresses are a little weathered but overall worth the price we paid. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Great Location, close to park

Nice place. East access to Busch Gardens and to multiple places to eat. The house was nice and clean and smelled fresh. Loved that the host left coffee for us. We arrived late and saw the coffee on the counter, everyone was very appreciative about that. Will definitely use again.
