Welcome 2 Wallace! This is the coolest home in South Tampa! All updated with stylish tropical decor inside and a Key West explosion out back! Cabana is completely outfitted for fun - TV, fridge, & WiFi internet. Centrally located in a great neighborhood with easy access to everywhere!

You will feel at home and relaxed the moment you walk in the house! It's cozy and welcoming, and very easy to live in - but once you walk out the french doors to the backyard, you'll want to spend ALL YOUR TIME out there, lounging on the cabana deck or sunning on the chaises... you'll never want to leave to do any of the touristy stuff you had planned!! However, IF you do decide to leave your own personal paradise, it's location is perfect for day trips - South Tampa is the most desirable area to live because everything you need is near by and there's easy access to everywhere else!

We started renovations on the house in 2008 and are constantly updating and redecorating here and there. We decided to turn it into a vacation rental after the last long term renter because we enjoy spending time there so much, our out of town family and friends are always begging to use it and I really want everyone all over the world to experience hanging out by the cabana! It's got everything you'll need, there's lots of cool decor thru out and it's sort of my Pinterest house, so you'll see some fun, funky projects {Pallet Couch, anyone?}.

It's 1250 sq feet is just right for romantic getaway, a family, two couples, with or without kids or just a girls or guys trip. Master has flat screen, queen bed, and en-suite bathroom with shower, glass tiles, and martini glass shaped vessel sink. Second bedroom has a queen and flat screen, as well as two closets and a wine crate sliding barn door. The third bedroom also has a queen and an open closet system. There's an office with a huge desk and a wireless printer, a dining room with a cafe table that seats 4, kitchen bar that seats three, dual temp wine cooler and laundry with full size washer & dryer.

This home is truly my happy place and I'm so excited to share it with you and your family or friends!

Ballast Point is your not-so-typical, typical Florida neighborhood with 1 million dollar homes and 100K dollar homes, some old, some new, rusted chain link fences to wrought iron gates - the area is booming! Neighbors socializing, kids on bikes, young couples, professionals, military families, {THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!}, retirees and lots of people walking dogs! You'll find every kind.

There's TONS of great places to eat & shop a VERY short drive away. Walk to Ballast Point Pier, Park & Playground, or run down along the water on Bayshore Blvd- it's a perfect location! You can easily hop on to any of the major highways and be anywhere you want to be in minutes!

We are just 5 minutes from MacDill Air Force Base and get an amazing air show over head every few days during the week... Fighters in formation, big cargo and radar planes, even Air Force One - if you're a plane aficionado you'll be in heaven! It can be loud but it's very cool! Wave hello and sometimes they'll dip their wings in response.

It's a very dog friendly area, everyone has at least one, usually two dogs and they can be barky... When they all get going it's like a scene outta 101 Dalmatians! As animal lovers, it's music to our ears but just be warned.

The neighbors are super friendly - you'll feel like a part of the neighborhood and they're always happy to help in any way!

Leave your blow dryer at home and there's plenty of pool towels for everyone! Beach chairs & cooler for beach trips, and usually beer in the cabana fridge - a gift from the parting guests to the next ones!

The third full bathroom is located in the cabana and has shower with rain head. The pool has been newly resurfaced and is not heated - but that's never stopped a guest from jumping in yet!

There's undercover parking for two cars so you stay dry in the rain and your car stays cool in the sun. There's tons of closet space, a twin bed couch in the screened in porch for naps and cable on all four flat screen tvs, Netflix, Apple TV, as well as FREE high speed WiFi.

So that we can enjoy the house ourselves, and share it with family & friends, AND have time to turn over the house between rentals, we usually limit rental periods to 28 DAYS. We will consider stays of less than 7 nights {5 night minimum} or more than 28 days, but we'll have to talk first. Month-long stays come with a free mid-stay cleaning! Check in is anytime after 4 pm and check out is by 10 am. We're flexible on most things, so just ask before you book flights or schedule ETAs! However, check-in before 1 or check out after 10, if scheduling permits, will have to coordinated before hand and charged an extra $50, cash only.

{Now for the unfun part: the no-nos & non-negotiables...} ABSOLUTELY NO guests under the age of 25 without parental supervision. There's also a limit number of guests allowed over to enjoy pool and cabana - but we can talk about that. There's no crashing on the couch or air mattresses allowed. If three beds isn't enough for all to share and sleep, then the house is definitely to small for your group. Also, we try to be kind to each other & the environment & ask that guests do as well. Turn out the lights, turn off the TV & turn up the AC when you leave the house. Recycle as much as possible. Please be considerate to us, to our home & to our earth.

While we have great neighbors who keep an eye out for each other, the front of the house is equipped with two exterior cameras and are only occasionally monitored when the house empty. They are not connected to a security system & there are none inside or in the backyard {because that'd be weird & we have been known to skinny dip!}.

Dogs are always welcome, depending on their behavior (no biting, chewing or digging!!) and if they are housebroken AND you pick up their presents in the back yard {see Poop Clause in the agreement!}. There is a $150 pet fee PER PET - belly rubs are free!

As it turns out, a lot of guests enjoy working out while on vacation {I am NOT one of those people} and end up training at my next door neighbor's boxing gym, Punchology - He's a personal trainer and boxing coach. If you're interested, just let me know and I'll have him introduce himself {if he hasn't already!}.
