The collection

6 very different trips, one standard.

A beach cottage for 5 and an Ybor duplex for 20 are not the same holiday, and they are not in the same town — this set spans Tampa, Hudson, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. What they share is a team that lives here, a smart lock instead of a key handover, and guests who came back to write about it.

Modern Duplex Escape — Tampa, Florida
Sleeps 20

Tampa, Florida

Modern Duplex Escape

Two full homes under one roof

A duplex means your group gets one address and two of everything — two kitchens, two living rooms, two game rooms, four bathrooms. Twenty people stay together without living on top of each other, which is the part most large-group rentals get wrong. Ybor City's restaurants and nightlife are a ten-minute walk, and parking is free and on-site.

The Luxe Oasis — Tampa, Florida
Heated salt pool

Tampa, Florida

The Luxe Oasis

The heated salt pool people book it for

Tri-level, with a heated saltwater pool that stays swimmable through a Florida winter — the reason guests choose it, and the reason they come back. Inside there's a pool table and ping pong; outside, a fire pit, covered lanai and a fenced yard. More guests have reviewed this home than any other in the collection.

Hot Tub Valle — Tampa, Florida
Hot tub + game room

Tampa, Florida

Hot Tub Valle

Hot tub out back, Busch Gardens down the road

The hot tub and the game-room pool table do the heavy lifting, and three full bathrooms mean ten guests can get ready at the same time instead of queueing. Busch Gardens is ten minutes away and downtown Tampa about twenty — close enough for a park day and a dinner out in the same trip.

Hudson Harbor Hideaway — Hudson, Florida
Private dock

Hudson, Florida

Hudson Harbor Hideaway

Canal-front, with your own dock

The dock is private and the canal runs to the Gulf, so the boat, the paddleboard or just coffee on the water all happen a few steps from the back door. A king bed, a quiet street and a fenced yard make it the slow-mornings option in this set rather than the party house.

Tropical Nest — Saint Petersburg, Florida
Walk to downtown

St. Petersburg, Florida

Tropical Nest

Downtown St. Pete on foot

Bright, retro and genuinely in the middle of things — the Dalí Museum, the galleries along Central, and the restaurants people fly in for are all close enough to walk or pedal. The fenced backyard is the surprise: private outdoor space at a price that normally buys you a balcony.

Sunny Shore Retreat — Clearwater, Florida
Minutes to the beach

Clearwater, Florida

Sunny Shore Retreat

Clearwater Beach without beachfront pricing

Minutes from one of the best-rated beaches in the country, but a few streets back — which is the whole trick, because beachfront rates roughly double for the same sand. A covered lanai, a fenced yard and a sleeper sofa for a fifth guest make it the easy long-weekend booking.

Why book here

The same home, minus the middleman.

No platform service fee

These homes are listed on Airbnb and Vrbo too — and on both, the platform adds its own service fee on top of the nightly rate. Booking on this page skips it. The quote you see here is the quote you pay.

All-in pricing before you commit

Pick your dates and the total updates with cleaning, taxes and fees already in it. Nothing appears at the last screen that wasn't on the first one.

A local team, not a call centre

Everyone who answers you lives in Tampa Bay and has been inside the home you booked. If the hot tub needs attention on a Saturday, someone is twenty minutes away.

Questions

Before you book

What makes these homes “guest favorites”?

They are 6 homes our team picked out of a portfolio of more than a hundred across Tampa, Hudson, St. Petersburg and Clearwater — chosen for range as much as for rating, so the set covers everything from a beach cottage to a duplex for a large group. Between them they hold a 4.99 out of 5 average across 463 reviews, all synced from the platforms guests booked on rather than collected by us. They are not the only highly rated homes we run.

Is booking here really cheaper than Airbnb or Vrbo?

These same homes are listed on Airbnb and Vrbo, and both add a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate. Booking direct on this site skips that fee entirely. On the property pages you can compare our live total against the OTA total for your exact dates.

Are pets allowed?

Most of these homes welcome dogs. The pet policy, the limit and the fee are stated on each property page and included in your quote before you pay.

How large a group can you take?

Between 5 and 20 guests depending on the home. The largest sleeps 20 across a duplex layout, which gives a big group two separate sides under one roof rather than one crowded house.

What does a night cost?

Rates in this collection start at $79 a night and move with the season and length of stay. Enter your dates on any home above and the total shown includes cleaning, taxes and fees — there is no separate service fee added at checkout.

What if none of these 6 fits my trip?

These are a curated slice of a portfolio of more than a hundred Tampa Bay homes. Browse the full catalogue with dates, map and filters, or call the team and describe the trip — they know the inventory by heart.
