Fun location - great pool!
This house was cute and perfect for a big group. It had 4 pull out couches, in addition to 2 bedrooms. Bathrooms were average. Kitchen was large. Screened side porch was a chill spot. We will bring the dogs next time and i think that would make this location more desirable. We had some difficulty getting in but the owner got back to us in less than an hour.

A little slice of heaven…
My best friend and I flew in from different parts of the country to celebrate Mother’s Day together. We were specifically looking for a place that wasn’t a gated community home. And we were so happy that they had many amenities other much higher priced places do not. It was great that they thought of those little things that add up when you make your first run for food and supplies. And it was close to everything. Not to mention they actually allow dogs even though we felt our pups at home. It’s an older home that they have been investing quite a bit money to update with just a few areas left. Very quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again. Minutes to the beach. Thank you for such an enjoyable time.

Nice place
The home was bigger than it appears in the pictures. Kitchen is very nice. Not as many condiments and things like paper towels as we usually find in previous rentals so be prepared to stock your own. Games and puzzles were great when the grandkids came over. Pool and backyard space was nicely utilized although could use a good landscaping and clean up but overall we very much enjoyed. The owner was very responsive and helpful even with the somewhat confusing light switch for the yard which is in the middle of the interior bedroom wall not near either door, yep completely missed it more than once. ;o)

Beautiful home nice and clean. Pictures of the outside need to be updated. Fire pit was over grown lawn needed cutting. Stats that there is a grill but very worn out only one burner worked very rusted. We ended up going to Walmart and buying a small grill to use on our trip

Great visit with family
House was clean and kitchen was spacious and well equipped (we look to cook together and gather in the kitchen). We enjoyed the pool as well. Great location too - right around the corner from Oldsmar park. Could be some updates to the bathrooms and furniture, but overall excellent place to stay.

Enjoyed the house and all the amenities. Loved that it was dog friendly.
Plenty of space inside and out for everyone to enjoy. Pool was very nice and Plenty of sitting area around the pool. House is close to walking trails that is dog friendly and very clean trails. House is also close to dog friendly beach, which we all enjoyed. House has all the amenities you need to feel at home, did a lot of cooking in the nice big open kitchen. Owner, Jenn, great with communication. Loved our time at the Hibiscus. Thank you

House is fine but pool area needs work.
The house was good. The kitchen was very nice. The remainder of the house was workable. The pool by itself was OK but the water was cool. The pool required daily cleaning because of leaves dropping into it. There was junk sitting in the gated pool area that could be cleaned up in two or three hours. The neighborhood was good.

Bathrooms need work
Both showers needed plumbing repairs. There were other items requiring attention and I would like to share that information with the owner but VRBO has shutdown my inbox 3 days after checkout preventing me from providing feedback on the rental. Not all bad - just needs some work.

Jenn is very responsive if you have any concerns or needs. The house is comfortable, but is an older home, and in need of some updates and a deep clean. The kitchen is a very nice place to gather, cook, play cards. We didn't get to use the pool due to the temperatures being in the 50's during our stay, but it is a very nice outdoor area.

Great stay for me, my mom and our pups
The house was clean, safe, quiet, has a fully fenced backyard with a pool (no it's not heated), and tons of space to spread out. There are plenty of pull out couches, but two private rooms, and two bathrooms. There's parking, a fully stoked kitchen, a large table for family dinners, and was very clean. I highly recommend this place, the owners are very communicative, make check in/ check out easy, they have plenty of towels and beach towels and a yard for our dogs to run around safely.

Terrific 3 week stay
The house was perfect for my 3-week stay. Conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood close to grocery and other stores. The house was comfortable, with lovely furnishings. Found everything I needed in the beautiful kitchen. The bed was soft and comfortable. Loved the luxury linens. Used the pool every day. I'd love to give this 5 stars, but the photos of the pool area appear to be a few years old. Great communication with the hosts throughout my stay. Will definitely stay again! Thanks Jenn and Tony!

Haven Hibiscus
We had the best time at Haven Hibiscus! There were two couples in our group & with the layout of the house it helped give us each our own privacy. We cooked pretty much all of our meals at the house and the kitchen was perfect for that! Jen & Tony were quick to respond when we had any questions. We would definitely book again with them. Perfect getaway from reality!

Perfect house with great hosts
This house was perfect for our family of 5. Jenn is an amazing host and responded quickly to my questions. The house is beautiful and super clean. It has an open floor plan and has plenty of room. They have everything you need. We enjoyed days at the pool and grilled in the backyard. You will not be disappointed with this house and it is close to several beautiful beach areas. We are so grateful for the memories we have created. Thanks Jenn and hope to be back soon!

Home away from home
Our family of 4 (plus 2 small dogs) enjoyed a great, 2-week, stay at Hibiscus Haven. We walked into a freshly cleaned, cool house, that invited us to unpack and make ourselves at home. We loved having a private pool in the yard, and the layout of the house gave each of us our own space the spread out and enjoy, when we weren’t hitting the beaches or doing touristy things in the greater Tampa area. Jenn and Tony are amazingly responsive hosts, and go out of the or way to make sure you enjoy your stay. We even got to enjoy a brand new washer/dryer set during our stay. I would rent this spot again.

The house is very spacious and well decorated. The hosts gave us some great tips on where to go and were quick to respond. The pool is very nice. The kids loved the pool light for night time swimming. There were some leaves in the pool but that didn’t bother us. Other than that the pool is very clean. It was a great place to stay. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful large home in a great neighborhood. We were disappointed in the cleanliness however.
The home is beautiful and we very much enjoyed the quiet and friendly neighborhood. Take a walk to the local park! Unfortunately we were all disappointed in the overall cleanliness (dirty dishes) and the appearance of the back yard. While the majority of the pictures are accurate, the pictures of the backyard and pool are not.
