    Affordable Modern Home, Tampa$188/nightly avg

    This affordable and centrally-located modern home has a huge backyard with a patio, a barbecue, a fully-stocked kitchen, lots of parking, and a king and two queen beds. It’s located just a few minutes from South Hyde Park, 10 minutes from the airport and downtown Tampa. This is a great looking place for a getaway, and is close to all of the major attractions in Tampa. Because of the proximity to the city, there is occasional noise from traffic, dogs, etc. If you are looking for a very quiet vacation rental, the host encourages you to seek a place outside of the downtown area.

    I cannot say enough good things about this house! Very cute place in an amazing location. Beds were comfy, the house was spotless and very tastefully decorated. The yard was a great place to hangout – it’s fully fenced off around the house. We were able to visit Clearwater beach about 30 mins away and come home to a relaxing place. The host was kind and communicative. All the creature comfort boxes ticked. Great value, Awesome place! Thank u!
    Jim’s house is exactly as described! The house itself is welcoming when entering, very cozy yet spacious and clean, along with Jim’s great attention to detail! He was responsive 100% to all questions and concerns from beginning to end. The house is located in a residential area right next to all major attractions, convenient parking space to fit 3 or 4 cars, easy access to great restaurants in Hyde Park and Soho, and Downtown Tampa. While there is some background noise from the highway nearby, inside the house itself is quiet. As others have mentioned, it’s centrally located in an urban environment so some noise is expected. Anyway I wish our stay was longer. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Jim’s place again!
    Perfect location lovely hosts
    We enjoyed everything about our stay in this house. Very clean, safe neighborhood, great location. The owner was available whenever needed to answer questions! Three of us came to Tampa for Rod Stewart concert. We had a great time! We all recommend this house!
    Great property. The owner responded and was friendly. The house was nice no complaints

    You cannot beat the view from the Cut House! My mom spent all of her time on the patio or dock watching the boats and enjoying the water view. You also can’t beat the character of the house. The Cut House is conveniently located near several beaches within a 15-30 minute drive. There are some amazing restaurants close by as well. Jeff was very helpful and checked in with us during our stay. Will be staying here again!
    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cut House. It’s on a quiet dead end street with water surrounding the property. We have been looking for an “old school Florida house” for a while and have found it. If you’re looking for a “beach cottage” this is it! It’s convenient to shopping and gas stations that have ethonal free gas for your boat. The house is comfortable and open. The separate bedroom and bath were perfect for our teenage grandchildren. All of us enjoyed our stay and want to go back. Thank you Jeff and Hope for sharing this piece of paradise!
    This was our second year staying at this property. The location is amazing and the house is very charming. The host is always available and promptly answers questions.
    The location was awesome. The owner was great and very helpful with areas to catch bait and where to eat. He also gave us some fish. The house was over all fine. It is an old Florida home and is not fancy at all so if you are looking for that then this isn’t it. However what we were looking for was a 3 bedroom and 2 bath together. The third bedroom is across the carport. I did not realize that until after I booked and read the reviews in detail. So then I thought ok not that big of a deal we are all adults but wished they explained that in the description. However, when we got there we found out the 2nd bathroom isn’t with the 3rd bedroom… it’a also separate and accessible from the carport. It was ok… a complete bathroom but it did have mosquitoes so we ended up not really using it after showering once with mosquitoes. This house is at then of a dead end street which we felt was awesome. It’s almost zero traffic and pretty quiet. There is parking for a boat trailer and extra car or so which is wonderful. There is a sea wall and dock that runs across the entire back. That’s nice if you bring a boat or want to fish off the dock. If you want to swim or even get in and out of a kayak/canoe then that could be difficult if tide is low. We didn’t see a ladder to help with that but maybe there is one available in storage not sure. Also swimming may not be a great idea as the current running through the cut seemed to be pretty strong. Definitely should be an experienced swimmer if you do. We will probably return at some point because like I said the location is awesome. And we haven’t found anything perfect so all in all this was very close to being our “go to” spot.
    enjoyed exploring Snead Island.Property could use some freshening up.

    My wife and I brought our two kids down and the house is very clean very well prepped and has beautiful views. The area is incredible and we have already recommended this same rental house to friends of ours who are looking to take their family on a quiet vacation.
    The property was as advertised! Very clean and beach access was fantastic. The house had everything we needed and it was just a 10 minute drive to stores etc. It was an added bonus there were paddle boards included as well. We loved seeing the dolphins, manatee’s and some sting rays. The water at the beach is very shallow when the tide goes out but is extremely clear when the tide is high. There aren’t any waves so it’s perfect for little kids. Because it’s so shallow, you can take the boards out quite a distance and still see the bottom. Very nice little house.
    This is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful parts of Florida that most people never see.
    The host was very kind, helpful, generous and respond quickly to my inquiry. The location is fantastic if you need privacy especially when kayaking, paddle board and is next to the State Park where the beach is always busy. Great location on Pine Island at the water of Gulf of Mexico. Access to the commercial stores is only approx. less than 7 miles and 5 miles to Weeki Wachee. Love the bonfire! Thank you for sharing your home to our mini-vacation. We had a wonderful experience and awesome memory! Juliet
    Love the property love the location love the amenities love the dolphins love the manatees love Willys love the mermaidsI

    Perfect location for skateboarding, church, walks and relaxing. Very clean and the host was superb!!!!! Will stay again!
    Best experience. The property manager was very easy to communicate with. The rental was very clean and comfortable. My family and I did not want to leave. We are going to be looking into renting again for next year.
    My family of 4 stayed here over the Labor Day weekend recently and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the accommodations. Everything was extremely clean, well-decorated and furnished and JoAnn seamlessly communicated to us the directions, and instructions on check-in and arriving. We don’t live too far away so we’ll definitely be interested in coming back and staying here for another weekend in the hopefully not too distant future!
    JoAnn’s spot in NSB was perfect for our weekend getaway! The place was super clean and stocked with everything you could need. The location was perfect – walking distance from the beach and various restaurants, and a short drive to Flagler Ave. and Publix. JoAnn was super quick to respond to all of my messages and the check-in/out process was seamless. Would definitely stay again!
    We had a wonderful stay! This is a beautifully appointed home with a beachy vibe. The kitchen is fully stocked, there is plenty of room to hang out with friends and family oh the lower level, and it is a short walk to the beach. The bedrooms are on the upper level which may be a problem for those with mobility issues. Otherwise everything was perfect! Will stay here again!

    It had everything that you needed. Pool and hot tub. Fishing from the dock. 3 bedrooms, one a master suite. Complete kitchen and accessories. Publix a 10 minute drive. Everyone was friendly and not to far from beaches.
    Wonderful setting, beautiful sunsets, fantastic fishing!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at in this home.
    Location is perfect! View of sunset is blocked due to neighbors overgrown shrubs & trees, but still a beautiful setting! House needs major updating but overall, you have everything needed for a great holiday! Communication with the owner is easy and very responsive!
    We chose this property to lounge in the pool and relax watching the ocean. We saw Sea turtles about 2 feet across, a mom & baby manatee, plenty of pelicans, just a great variety of activity. The weekend had more boats but weekdays were filled with watery visitors. I was afraid the heat would be too much but the breeze kept us comfortable. We fished off the dock. Evenings it was amazing the amount of activity around the dock! The house was spacious the beds comfortable! I loved just watching the ocean!
    This home was all we expected and more! The house has ample space and the view is spectacular! We saw dolphins everyday and enjoyed watching all the boats go by. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Hope to come again!

    This place was comfortable and a perfect fit for my little family! Man right next to the beach. A!!! Totally worth it! My son booked this place for me and I was not impressed at first. The pictures does this place no justice! So I was like yea that’s not where I want to stay. And knowing my wife. She was not feeling the pictures either. So she really didn’t want to stay here. So I almost just canceled it and took my losses. So glad I didn’t! As soon as I open the door, I was hooked! The wife loved it! Perfect for us! So relaxing, peaceful and roomy. Perfect for a small family or a couple of four. And again, a hop, skip and a jump from the beach! Very comfortable! And Dan was on it!!!!! Providing us with places for the kids to enjoy, making sure we had what we needed and just Johnny on the spot with responding time. Dan my man, you got the perfect little setup! I would definitely stay again!
    This property was so perfect from the moment we stepped in. The owner Dan was an exceptional host. Him and his wife were very helpful with a few items we needed for our stay! The whole place felt like we moved into our dream vacation home! We will definitely be back to enjoy the beach and home again! I highly suggest this unit/property owner for families looking to spend their days and or nights at the beach! Being a block away from the beach allowed us to be there morning, noon, and night as we desired! I also want to add that they have all of the beach necessities including a beach umbrella and sand toys!! Enjoy your stay. We definitely had the vacation of a lifetime!
    This 2 bedroom 2 bath was a great place for my friend and I to spend the week. It has a surprisingly big open kitchen, dining and living space. Location is great, a mile from the pier and great restaurants.
    The place was nice! Perfect for our little getaway. Only a short walk to beach. Easy in and out.
    Dan was great!

    BEFORE YOU STAY HERE RECORD YOUR ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE!According to description, the house doesn’t have an elevator. But after we paid, it was revealed that there is infact an elevator, It’s just not available to the renters. This is highly unethical. The Kitchen Is On The Top Floor! YOU WILL CARRY GROCERIES UP TO 3RD FLOOR!Sheets were not washed. We came and washed sheets after a 12 hour drive. We found hair and stains on them as well as on toilets.The thermostat kept going up in temperature. It’s a smart thermostat.Requesting us to put out trash even though trashcan was almost full upon our arrival. Lied about us breaking an elevator door. And tried to have us pay for something we didn’t touch. We asked for pictures of broken door multiple times but it was never provided.Towels were dirty left on towel racks. Accused us of putting holes in towels. But why would we? We’re not barbarians. The towels were old and dingy. For what we paid per night I would think the towels would be freshly washed and new.Do not stay unless you want to be swindled and unfairly accused of breaking things. Clearly they are in over their heads and can’t afford the upkeep. Not everyone is capable of running a business.
    This home is so beautiful! Very very clean, great location!Beds are so comfortable.Thank you for hosting us!We will be back!
    This was our second stay in this beautiful home!Crisp clean as always, an awesome host, perfect location!We will be back soon, for sure!Thank you so much for unforgettable experiance!This host is The Best!
    This home is very beautiful, very clean and super close to the beach literally few steps.Perfect location! Quiet and close to any entertainment desired.Host is a top notch!Our best home ever!
    Home is truly stunning! If I could give it ten stars I would! Crisp clean, tasteful! Host is simply excellent! So attentive and helpful, being on top of anything and everything!Views are terrific, everything you may need is near by! Ocean, beach, parks, fishing and casino for sure for a huge plus!There are 2 great restaurants within 2-5 walking distance.So Very Highly Revommended!

    We are a family of four and enjoyed our three weeks stay very much. The house is gorgeous and very lovely decorated. We had a direct view to the beach from the living room and the master bedroom and enjoyed the wonderful sunsets. We appreciated the beach equipment provided as well as the amenities of the house. The kids also had a blast at the large pool – we all enjoyed a wonderful family time in Belleair Beach.
    The ocean view the sunsets were so beautiful! The house was so very well stocked with towels and kitchen supplies. The dryer was broken but they left quarters for the dryer in the complex which was very nice. The master bedroom was very spacious with such a beautiful view and a great deck off of the master. The other two bedrooms were very, very small so would be good for kids, not adults. We were not allowed to open the windows or leave the doors open to hear the ocean which was disappointing. Also, the beach chairs were broken and very rusted so we had to go and purchase our own.Great beach location, but not walkable to stores and restaurants if you’re interested in that.
    We went here as a family vacation and it was the perfect location, so, so close to the ocean and so easy to run back to the place if you forgot something. They had beach towels, a tent to set up on the beach, cooler, everything you need for the beach. The newly renovated kitchen is beautiful. Bedrooms are great. Nice having a washer and dryer so you don’t need to take as many clothes. We could live forever in the master bedroom just waking up looking out at the ocean or going out on the beautiful deck and chairs! If you didn’t feel like going to the ocean you could just go to the pool instead. It is shared with other places on the property but it was never a problem. There are people who stay right next door since the places are adjoining but never felt like our privacy was a problem. The owner was great for checking in and making sure our stay was good. It’s close to many good restaurants and more popular beaches if you choose to go there such as Clearwater but the quietness of where this is was just perfect for us, we had my 87 year old mother with us and with beach so close we could get her out to the water! But would be perfect for families with small children! OOHHHH and the sunsets are breathtaking! Thanks for letting us make great family memories. The ‘Z’s
    Condo is in a wonderful location! Problem with check in, as I did not receive the resort lock email Shari was aware of this the day before check in, yet I never received an email or code. It took to day 2 of me begging on the phone for a code so we could all have access. Also, the door was very hard to open and close, as it was quite rusty. The hurricane sliding doors are old and it took two people to line up the lock to get it open or closed. The condo was not stocked with any paper products, such as toilet paper and paper towels, or any laundry detergent. I alerted Shari to the fact the dryer did not heat, and the response was that she would get someone to fix it. A repair person never showed up, thus I could never dry a load of laundry. Favorite spot in the condo was the second floor balcony where we could watch the sun set every evening.
    We enjoyed our stay! The property owner is amazing with response times and we had all we could have possibly needed!
