Picture your crew on day two: a pickleball bracket taped to the fridge, the grandparents swaying on the pergola swings, the little ones lost in the Pac-Man bunk room, and the heated pool steaming at 8 a.m. because somebody couldn't wait. And you, on a sun lounger with your coffee, watching all of it. An Airbnb Guest Favorite in the top 10% of homes, 12 minutes from the airport and 15 from Raymond James, built for the weekend they'll still be talking about at Christmas.

What Makes It Special

Private Pickleball Court

Paddles and balls waiting by the door. The grudge match starts before breakfast.

Heated Pool, Year-Round

Open 24 hours and kept at "perfect temps," with a 7-person hot tub for after the kids are down.

Pac-Man Game Room

Pac-Man, basketball arcade, mini pool table, Xbox and gaming chairs. You won't see the teenagers for hours.

Bunk Room for 9

Three sturdy bunks with trundles: the cousins' sleepover headquarters.

Pergola + Fire Pit

String lights, swing chairs, ceiling fans and s'mores. Where the grown-ups end up every night.

12 Min to TPA

Land, check in, and be in the pool before the luggage is unpacked.

Somewhere to be at every hour

Morning matches before the pool warms up, one more game before dinner, and somehow a full tournament by day two. When the sun drops, the pergola lights come on, the fire pit crackles for s'mores, and someone has already claimed the swing chair. As one guest put it: "we didn't feel the need to leave the house." That's the whole point.

Brianna’s place was great for our vacation as a family of 14. There were lots of amenities for the teens/tweens to do and the kitchen accommodated our groups meal times appropriately. The bunk bed space was perfect for our 5 boys to hangout and sleep. The pool was clean and the backyard accommodated both daytime pool d

It was an honor staying at Brianna's place for the second time. We usually don't revisit Airbnb's twice, but Brianna's speedy communication and friendly demeanor tied to the wonderful home, brought us right back. Home was in pristine condition. The pool was heated nicely and the hot tub was hot and ready when we arrive

We had an amazing stay at Brianna’s Airbnb! The pool was the highlight of our trip, and all the kids absolutely loved it.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay for our recent reunion. While the property feels a bit more lived-in and casual in person than the staged photos suggest, it was clean, comfortable, and a perfect fit for a relaxed family gathering. The home is packed with amenities that kept both the kids and teenagers fully ente

FendiMay 2026

The place was everything we hoped for. The house was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was available. From the gas grill to the utensils we used on the grill. Corn hole to pickleball to the pool and the hot tub. Everything was ready to go. Brianna always responded to our questions and had the responses ready

TonyFebruary 2026

Brianna is the best host i’ve come across! super accommodating, responsive, and truly cares about the service she puts out. Airbnb hosts can feel like robots sometimes but she made everything feel very natural and easy. the house is an older home so there were just some things that came with that, like rickety sounds,
