Home away from home

We had a fabulous stay at Old Seminole Heights. Our hosts Sydney & Berta are two of the nicest people you can meet and they were so helpful and accommodating. The house is excellent-retro decor- homely, clean and so comfortable. The area was so nice and quiet and felt so safe. A great house for family to stay at.

Month Post-op Stay

Sydney and Berta personally greeted us at check-in and were easily accessible for questions or concerns during our stay of 4 weeks. We appreciated the roomy and cute coral home of theirs for my son’s post-op stay. Easy to and from downtown, whether backstreets or I-275, the zoo and Publix were less than 10 mins away, and Busch Gardens was around 10-15 mins away. Very convenient location overall! Kitchen was pretty well stocked, large, with a huge pantry and table for 6. There were plenty of towels in the bathrooms and of nice size. The beds were extra firm with plenty of pillows and nice bedding and the bedrooms were roomy with large closets. Two of the three bedrooms had smart TVs. The living room had a large smart TV as well. Our only complaint would be that the living room furniture was quite uncomfortable and the sleeper sofa’s mattress was too thin to use. The home overall was very clean and the yard was well maintained and nicely landscaped. The backyard is very private with a nice pergola, grill, 2 loungers, and a table and chairs for 6. There is on street and off street parking that is semi-shaded. We appreciated the cipher locks (no keys!) and motion sensor lights in the front and back for extra security. The neighborhood is a little worn looking but walkable and quiet. We highly recommend staying at Sydney and Berta’s cute coral home when in Tampa!
