Other Details to Note
Property Managed By: FlipMyBnB Vacation Homes We will send you a link upon booking to our online "Welcome Guide" This is our house manual that includes all the information you will need to know about our home and offers LOTS of suggestions for dining and things to do while in the Tampa Area! You can also pre-order cakes, treats, and goodies to be in the home upon arrival and items if you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or other special event! We want you to enjoy your stay but feel it necessary to communicate the below items as not every guest arrives with the intention to be respectful and enjoy the “sharing community” experience. Please read through and ask any questions keeping in mind each “rule” has been created due to a previous guests behavior. ** Please NOTE** This does not apply to most guests but because of previous guests behavior we must state that we have implemented a ZERO TOLERANCE policy regarding verbal abuse, threats, condescending and foul language towards myself, my Co-Hosts or any vendors.(pest control, pool maintenance, handyman, etc.) ALL communication needs to be kept on platform, meaning Airbnb Messages, we will NOT communicate via phone or text so that all communication is documented for Airbnb. ANY abuse from guests will be grounds for immediate cancellation of your reservation without refund. You will be removed from the property by law enforcement regardless of the time of day or night.

Parents must monitor children, at all times. Children should be supervised, at all times. No running around the pool area.

To prevent this, we kindly ask NOT to flush anything other than toilet paper. NO feminine hygiene products, NO paper towels, NO flushable wipes- these WILL clog the sewer system and cause a backup.

Neighborhood
Lowry Central/Seminole Heights is a historic neighborhood and district located in central Tampa. It includes many early 20th century bungalow homes and historic buildings. It was an early residential area of Tampa connected by streetcar.. The neighborhood's historic homes, eclectic shops and gourmet restaurants are an increasing draw. In 2003, Southeast Seminole Heights was named Best Neighborhood in America.
Guest Access
Guests will have entire home access except for the garage and owners closets which we use for storage. Guests are NOT permitted to touch pool equipment. AT ANY TIME. This is due to a former guest making "adjustments" and the pump exploding, flooding the yard and causing over $5k in damages.
