I’ll start by saying communication with Kathleen was super easy and quick! We were also able to check in about 30 minutes early, which was nice since it was raining so much when we got to Tampa.
Pros of property: the pool and games! We loved the pool and with kids ages 4 and 7, we spent most of every day there. My husband and kids also spent a lot of time at the foosball table and using the Ms. Pac-Man machine! The beds were also very comfortable and the house was clean
Cons: the furniture left a little to be desired. The futon in the game room was downright dangerous to sit on- totally falling apart. It would have been nice to have somewhere comfortable to sit in there since there isn’t a TV in the room with the more comfortable couch. In the back bedroom, there wasn’t a dresser to put clothes. In the main bedroom, there wasn’t a closet. It just kind of felt cheaply furnished- besides the comfortable beds! Also, the dishwasher needs to be secured. If you pull out the racks, the whole thing tips over.
Location: there are plenty of grocery shopping areas and chain places to eat around here. The closest beach access we could find was 30 minutes away, so that wasn’t my favorite- but that just may be a Tampa thing. Also, I wish there were some more mom and pop type seafood places nearby.
I still give this place 3.5 to 4 stars, though, because the pool area is really great and swimming with the kids was really what it was all about for us!
