Tampa near the river and everything
We picked the location as it was close to Raymond James Stadium. However we found it was within a few miles of ALL things Tampa! The owners were great and the unit was spacious, clean and comfortable! We WILL be back and hopefully soon! A GREAT place to stay!

Quiet neighborhood but close to everything
Maria’s place is in a quiet neighborhood across from the river but so close to downtown. It is walkable to Sprouts grocery store, the Riverwalk and the Armiture. Everything is thoughtfully decorated and immaculately maintained. We’d definitely stay again. Communication with Maria was excellent but not intrusive.

Great location, amazing hosts
My husband and I and some friends came for a weekend in Tampa. We wanted an area that was safe and easy to walk around downtown. This VRBO was perfect. Not only was it incredibly cute and cozy for us to hangout and watch movies, but the hosts were there to greet us, help us and give suggestions, and made short term renting what it should be - a personal touch with real host who knows their city! The area itself is very very nice, and we walked around morning and night, and took the suggestions of the hosts to check out some great places to eat and hang out. As far as the space, it was exactly as pictured, and it was quiet, easy to check in/out, and very comfortable for us. We would gladly stay with them again!

Family Gift Trip
This property was a small 2 bedroom apartment above the garage behind the owners home. The property has comfy beds, a stocked kitchen area and one full stocked bathroom with hot water. The furniture is an older style and only one bedroom has a television. When we arrived it was very late but the homeowner was very friendly and helpful even at the late hour. We had weather issues with our return home flight and had to leave in the middle of the night for a new flight to beat the stormy conditions. The homeowner was very responsive about our situation and suggested that we could skip the check out cleaning list since we had to leave so early. Unfortunately we did not get to see the area due to our early departure.

Cozy Getaway
This is an older upstairs apartment. It was very clean and the beds were comfy. It’s decorated very nicely and the host is friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back.
I loved the little apartment! It was so cute and in an excellent spot. Super safe neighborhood, across the street from the water, walking distance to some awesome restaurants. The hosts were SO helpful. Would for sure stay again!!

Close to City and University of Tampa
Nice place to stay and close proximity to University of Tampa. Spacious area for our party of 3 to rest and relax in the evening. Kitchen stocked well with everything you would need, bathroom shower was nice as well. Bedrooms could be a bit cooler, they tend to not cool down as much as the living area.

Cozy and Charming, but not so quiet
This was our first time booking with vrbo. The process was pretty seamless, and we would use vrbo again.
The location of the property was enjoyable and convenient, very clean, and met our needs. Because of the age of the home, which made it charming and cozy, there were a lot of squeaky doors and floors, making it difficult to sleep if anyone else was awake. Additionally, a neighboring dog barked well into the night and early again the next morning.

Clean, quiet and very comfortable
We had a great stay! The apartment had 2 bedrooms with very comfortable beds and was very clean and quiet. It's located in a beautiful and safe neighborhood in walking distance of the Armature Works (cool old factory converted into restaurants and bars located right on the waterfront). The owners are on site and are extremely nice and helpful - we highly recommend staying here!
