Overall it was a nice place to have a large group stay near Busch Gardens or in the NorthEast Tampa area. Since the weather was "cooler" than normal we enjoyed the Gazebo outside in a large back yard .

Busch Gardens get away

We came in late Saturday night after a day at Seaworld. We attended Busch Gardens on Sunday. Kathie's home is the perfect spot to access Busch Gardens in a very safe neighborhood. Plenty of food choices nearby as well as Doordash and other delivery options. I highly recommend this home for your Busch Gardens vacation!

Close to Busch Gardens

If you are planning to head to Busch Gardens, this IS the spot for you. A short drive to the parking lot or you can walk if you're adventurous. Although, not sure how safe the neighborhood is after dark. It's probably fine but not 100% sure. Four spacious bedrooms. Excellent kitchen for meals. Limited seating in the living room but that shouldn't be a problem unless you plan to spend an entire day in the house. Nice screened-in back porch with seating. Large backyard. Communication with the host was awesome.

Close to everything

We were in town for a softball tournament at Greco park which is a 3 minute drive. We made a few trips to Walmart for a few groceries which is maybe 5 or so minutes away and very close to USF campus. My only complaint about the house is minor, and it may just me being spoiled from other houses I’ve stayed in, but the house lacked some things I was expecting, such as salt and pepper and things of that nature in the kitchen. But overall the house was clean and looked like the pictures and the neighborhood was very quiet. We’ve stayed in the same neighborhood every year we have come for this tournament and never had any issues. Would stay here again and would recommend to other friends and family.

Home Away from Home

My family and I had an extended stay here during our transition from CA to FL for a military move. The home was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was very well stocked for our cooking needs, and we loved playing in the backyard with our three boys. The screened-in lanai was a wonderful feature too. We had the unexpected fun of seeing fireworks for a few minutes for several nights while we were there as well, as Busch Gardens is literally down the street. Also, as we were here near Christmas-time, the street a block away from the house goes all out on Christmas lights, so that was a lot of fun to drive through as well. Most of all, Kathie, the host, was extremely quick to respond to any concern or need we had—we felt very well taken care of. This truly felt like our first home in FL and we’re so grateful for the memories we made there.
