About this property

Heated Pool & Spa, Sleeps 8, South Tampa | 5 Min to MacDill AFB

  • A 2-bedroom, 1-bath South Tampa home for up to 8, with a heated saltwater pool and spa in a private fenced yard. MacDill AFB is 5 minutes away, downtown Tampa about 15 and the airport about 20.

    The living room, dining area and kitchen share one open layout. A plush sectional faces a 70-inch TV, and a wooden dining table with bench seating holds six. That table doubles as the games table, converting to ping pong and pool. Out back, a fenced yard holds the heated saltwater pool, the spa, patio seating and a gas grill.

    BEDROOMS & BATHS (2 BR / 1 BA)
    ★ Bedroom 1 (primary): king bed, soft linens, Samsung smart TV
    ★ Bedroom 2 (family room): queen bed and a bunk bed, Samsung smart TV
    ★ Living room: sleeper sofa for 2
    Beds for 8: king 2, queen 2, bunk 2, sleeper 2. One full bathroom with a tub/shower combination serves all 8 guests. Fresh towels and toiletries are provided.

    KITCHEN & DINING
    ★ Modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and marble-style countertops
    ★ Cookware, dishes and utensils provided; just bring the ingredients
    ★ Wooden dining table with bench and chair seating for up to 6, under a bright window

    OUTSIDE
    ★ Private heated saltwater pool (heating is an optional add-on, $35 per night)
    ★ Spa area with jets, heated only when pool heating is added; it is a relaxation spot, not a traditional hot tub
    ★ Fully fenced backyard with patio seating and lush greenery
    ★ Gas grill for outdoor dinners

    GAMES & EXTRAS
    ★ Dining table that converts to a ping-pong and pool table
    ★ 70-inch TV in the living room; Samsung smart TVs in both bedrooms
    ★ 1 Gig internet for video calls and streaming
    ★ Washer and dryer

    BEST FOR
    ★ MacDill AFB TDY and PCS house-hunting trips, 5 minutes from the gate
    ★ Medical stays and work trips: fast internet, a full kitchen, laundry and a quiet street
    ★ Small families: the kids take the queen-and-bunk room, parents get the king
    ★ Weekend swims and Bucs or Lightning games; Amalie Arena is 10–16 minutes

    MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT IF
    ★ You need more than one bathroom; 8 guests share a single tub/shower bath
    ★ You expect a hot tub; the spa only warms when pool heating ($35 per night) is added, and it is not a full hot tub
    ★ You are planning a party or event; this is a quiet residential street

I wish we had more time to enjoy this space. It was comfortable and nice. Tampa is very spread out and we went many places and this place was convenient, but with a car. (Thats a Tampa thing) close to good food, and bars, and grocery store. Neighborhood felt safe. On the rare days that the weather is cool or cold, dont get the pool heated. Theyll let you know in advance it wont get warmer than a few degrees over ambient temp, so its not a surprise. The pool area was very nice, so if you're going when its warmer. You'll probably enjoy it. The host responded to questions quickly and we didnt have any issues.

Nice location and great pool!

This house was in a nice location on a quiet street (although you do hear the jets from the AFB). Many of the surrounding houses and neighborhoods were negatively affected by the hurricanes, but this house was very clean and functional. The pool was very nice and warm. The communication with management was excellent (very responsive). Two nice parks within walking distance were a plus. Good restaurants and stores within a couple miles. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Experience

Owners stayed in contact and made sure we were happy and taken care of. House was perfect and had everything we needed. The location is nice and neighborhood is quiet. Yard was well kept and pool was nice and clean. Access to home was easy and I loved the keyless entry. Kids really enjoyed the pool/ping pong table. Only con was no light in the pool so once it got dark you couldn’t enjoy the pool until the 10 pm curfew but other than that no complaints at all. I would definitely stay again and would 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful home

This property met all our expectations. We loved the pool/table tennis and played quite a few games on it. On arrival there was a bit of a mix up with the key code and WiFi password, but someone came over within 15 minutes and sorted it out for us. Also as a gesture of goodwill they also heated our pool free of charge. I have never come a cross such a kind and caring rental company and nothing was too much trouble. If I am ever in Tampa again I would book this home again. Thank you for all your help, we really enjoyed staying in your lovely property.
