18 - Near Universal & Lake View

RitaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
The area seemed very safe, and Universal was a 10-15 minute drive away. The apartment was very clean and pleasantly decorated. It was very quiet at night, and the bed was comfortable. Check out instructions were very reasonable. We would stay here again.

Ariana Place - Tree House Like Lakefront Views

ScottRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
5 stars all around! I just spent 5 nights at the Treehouse and hated to leave. I'm in sync with all the other reviews as they say it all! Perfect place just off the highways but close to the necessities in the Orlando/Lakeland area. Delightful views on Lake Ariana and plenty of rabbits and squirrels to watch while relaxing at the end of the day. Joni and Dennis were wonderful hosts and just a text away to answer any questions. Definitely will stay here again when I get back to the area. BOOK IT!

Kayaks & Firepit Mins to Dwntwn!

HaleyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
John was a wonderful host! His arrival instructions were detailed and super helpful, and he responded to all of my questions immediately! The Airbnb was lovely, super clean, cute and exactly what we needed for the weekend (and the backyard area was the perfect place to sit near the water and relax!). If you’re looking for a peaceful space that is still super close to everything you might want to do in Tampa, I highly recommend booking a stay here! We will definitely book here again the next time we are visiting Tampa.

29-Universal, International Dr,Convention Center

SandraRating, 5 stars5 days ago
I stayed here w 2 teenage girls and my mom,and it was good for the 4 of us. Everyone had their own space and the 2 bathrooms made getting ready easy. The kitchen was clean and we cooked many meals to save $. The pool was usually empty, which made it relaxing. The building felt safe even going to take out trash and laundry was safe and easily accessible. The door lock was a little loose but it still secured. We would rent again if back in Orlando !!

A truly memorable experience! One day was as peaceful and relaxing as I could have hoped for, while the next was filled with the excitement and joy of swimming and kayaking. The kids had a blast fishing and catching blue crabs off the dock. The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive, making the stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fantastic vacation.

Manatee Cove View + Resort Pool

JadeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved our stay here for our family of 5 with young children. Very clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. We spent a lot of time on the deck watching the manatees. Great sunsets! It’s a quiet community with 2 pools. The one by Hooks restaurant was warm and the kids loved it. The food at both restaurants was excellent. Nice beach with a private area you can rent umbrellas and chairs. There were 2 chairs, pool noodles and beach towels at the house as well. We enjoyed our outing to the sea turtle hospital. We prefer to walk so the distance to the pools/beach/restaurants was not an issue - worth keeping in mind if you have mobility issues, you may want to consider driving. This is a 3 story condo with the 1st floor a garage(owner access only) and car port(for guest); 2nd floor living, 2 decks, kitchen, bath, laundry; 3rd floor 2 bdrms, 2 decks, 2 baths. If you have small kids you will want to bring a gate for the stairs and put the breakable beach decor up high. Would stay again!

Welcome to this Blue Heron Beach Beauty.

Holly SingletonRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Condo was spacious and had what we needed. Showers had good pressure. The king bed was very comfortable. There isn’t any streaming, only cable and the WiFi wasn’t good, but we had a great time. The pool is really warm and huge so we really enjoyed that. It’s really close to anything theme park related, Disney Springs, etc. The balcony was fantastic with a very relaxing view.

Tampa Bay Near by Airport & Stadium

LisaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had such a wonderful stay!!! We loved that it was located right on Tampa Bay. Beautiful views and sunsets. We also loved the pool, pool bar & grill. It was so FUN! The condo was immaculate and so nicely decorated - everything looked brand new! The bed was very comfortable. The condo had everything we needed and so much more! It was a little small, but it was perfect for my husband and me. Once in a while we heard kids running outside the condo at night, but it was minor. We didn’t go to the beach or use the grills, but many guests appeared to enjoy them. Nikki was great - she was incredibly caring and responsive. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much!
