Can’t wait to return!

Great property to stay at!!! Well maintained and very clean. Check in process and check out instructions very easy to follow. Great and easy communication with both owners and property manager. In communication with owners, they respond in a very timely fashion which is appreciated when you are not from the area and have questions. The rooms were well maintained and felt like “home”. Various amenities available in case you may forget something during your stay. Backyard hot tub was wonderful and very inviting after a long day! The small details that the owners/property manager put into the property is noticed and very much appreciated. Property is nearby restaurants, super Walmart, and supermarkets but car is necessary to get to it easily. Thank you for making our stay welcoming, comfortable and home away from home. 100 percent we would stay again!

Perfect Location

The home was just as advertised, spotless and centrally located to everywhere we needed to go! It was perfect for our family of five. Clearwater beach was about a 45 minute ride with traffic. The access to beach toys and chairs was a plus. Beautiful screened in patio with hot tub. The public pool being 5 mins away was a plus as well. We would definitely stay here again if we visit Tampa again.

The Great Escape was everything we were looking for!

This cute little house was so adorable, decorated so pretty. It was clean & cozy plus excellent location to all fun things in Tampa and the surrounding areas. Tampa zoo, Florida aquarium, Busch Gardens. Legoland was a little over an hour away. which wasn’t bad at all. Clearwater beach within 40 minutes….we couldn’t have been more pleased with choosing this property. Super quiet neighborhood. Beds were cozy. Owners and host is very attentive and quick to respond. We had a great vacation!

Beautiful home that is well taken care of. The owners have done a great job of making the place a home away from home. Very clean and comfortable.

The best yet

My wife and I have used rentals from various platforms for years. A few have stood above the rest. Our stay here at Michael and Paige's beautiful bungalow lands at the top!Everything was perfect. Beautiful house, beautiful decorating, everything you would want – including things that you might have forgotten to pack.What a joy to sit for morning coffee or evening drinks in the screened back porch. Connect your phone to the speakers and soak in the hot tub. Wonderful!The beds were comfortable, having a washer and dryer was great! If you are going to Tampa for any reason, I would highly, highly recommend this property.

Amazing find

This is a wonderful home, they have provided any and everything you could possibly want or need. The enclosed backyard with the spa pool is a great place to sit in the morning and drink your coffee or relax in the pool after a day of sightseeing. Chelsea was wonderful checking in with us when we arrived and available anytime we had questions. We will definitely be back!!

Great Escape

Three of us stayed for one week in February. The home was immaculate. We enjoyed the swim spa after long days of shopping and the beach. Everything down to the plush blankets and French press was impressive. It was a pleasure having things like beach towels, bags, coolers, chairs…available to use during outings. If your looking for a fantastic place to stay in Port Tampa City check out The Great Escape.

Home Away From Home

From the time we arrived until the end of our stay we were constantly surprised by the attention to detail and concern for our comfort. Nothing could have been improved upon, and we appreciated the thoughtful gestures of an arrival gift, warm cuddly bathrobes and the very well equipped kitchen.A five Star experience!

Relaxing long weekend

Outstanding and amazing. The home itself was perfect for us. The host provided everything we needed to feel at home and at ease. Everything was as anticipated. Communication was outstanding. The person who cleans the property was a huge help too. We hope to stay again. We understand the surroundings were impacted by the storms. Apart from the conditions. If the neighborhood, we could not have asked for more.

Did not disappoint

My girlfriends I needed a getaway and this house did not disappoint. It is tucked away in a quant neighborhood- with the quietest and nicest neighbors by the way. We loved that the smallest details were covered. This space is super clean and gorgeous. There were two instances that I communicated with the property manager and the owners and they were both responded timely and resolved my concern. I highly recommend this home; you won’t be disappointed.
