You are staying in the prestigious Palma Ceia neighborhood in South Tampa. This area is quiet with a lot of charm. The street names throughout Palma Ceia are of Cuban origin, coming from streets in the old section of Havana. Historians say the most likely explanation is that Angel Cuesta, president of Cuesta, Rey Cigars, shared a map of Havana with developer Thomas Palmer while discussing the area.

I highly recommend using ride-sharing services:
- Airport ~ 6.2 mi ~15 min
- Cruise terminal ~4.5 mi ~ 9min
- Raymond James Stadium ~ 4.3mi ~ 11 min
- Amelie Arena ~ 3mi ~ 9min
- Hyde Park / SOHO ~ 1.2 mi ~5min
- St Pete Beaches ~27 mi ~45min

Please remember that you're staying in a house, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP.

Great stay Great location and the perfect unit for a small group vacation

Perfect Stay This unit was perfect for our short stay in the Bay area. The twin beds in the second bedroom were exactly what our girls preferred, and the queen bedroom was comfortable. The area was quiet and felt very safe. We walked one day and went for a short run to the Bay on another morning. We did not do any cooking, but it was nice to have a fridge with an ice maker. Our son and daughter in law live a few blocks away and we would stay here again. Perfect!

Adorable unit! This is an adorable unit in a lovely Tampa neighborhood-- unit was as advertised, very clean and the owner was very responsive. We came to town for a dinner at Bern's steakhouse and this unit was just half a mile way (less than 5 minute Uber ride). Perfect stay and amazing meal at Bern's!

Remote work week Everything was very professional from the very start. We chose this property for the location in south Tampa and because we could bring our dogs with us. The neighborhood was amazing!! Definitely would recommend this property.

Adorable little house This was the perfect place for a short term stay with our two teenagers. The area was adorable and walkable to restaurants and ice cream. It was well set up and supplied. It is small. With two teenagers I was glad we were only there for a short period of time. But it was perfect for what it is.

Fantastic location We recently stayed here for the holidays while visiting family. The location was fantastic, walkable to tons of restaurants and beautiful scenery for walking the dog. The house was clean and exactly what the pictures show. This place has a cute fenced in backyard as well. It was easy to check in and out too. There is easy access to the crosstown to head to St. Pete or out to Brandon. We will be staying here again for sure!

Prime location We enjoyed our five nights at your property. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Loved the location.

Great Stay! Clean, great location and very comfortable. It was much more comfortable than a hotel and much more inviting to do work during the day. The location lends itself to easy access to bars, restaurants and Bayshore.

Welcoming and Charming After driving down the brick paved streets to the location of the property I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a cute and well decorated little home away from home. We had everything we needed. It was really neat to see a neighborhood I would have otherwise never driven through. All appeared clean and well kept. We dined at Datz. The food was great and the portions were generous. We tried the strawberry cake and it was amazing. We only stayed one night, but I would stay again...maybe not with all 4 of my kids ;)

Awesome place in great location! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect! Walk to Bayshore Blvd and easy drive to downtown. The duplex had every amenity you could want including a nice backyard for the pooch! Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again.

LOVED IT! Lovely and safe location, beautiful home, comfortable, and well-stocked. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others.

Loved the area The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because when we first got to the house we had to spend 2 hours cleaning. The front room and kitchen were very dirty. We cleaned up a lot of animal hair and food crumbs. The rest of the house was very clean. Aaron was great about helping out where he could and getting us the things we needed. I would definitely stay here again. The area was great we went for a lot of walks. For families it is perfect because there are a lot of parks very close by.
