One of the nicest VRBO rentals I’ve been at. The owners were very easy to work with. The place location is quiet and restful but still close to stores and restaurants. Was here with my sister but could see this location as a romantic getaway.

I have stayed at Half Moon Lake four times now once with my best friend, once with my husband and twice with my mother there’s a reason I keep coming back. First thing in the morning when the sun is rising over the lake, it’s truly a sight to be seen that view will keep me coming back for years to come. The sunrises is everything there the vibe is magical in the morning if you’re lucky you’ll even see some Peacock roaming around. It’s quite lovely. The cottage has everything you’ll need to stay comfortable. Also the Moffitt Cancer center is nearby if you need to spend any time there this is a lovely place to come back to. I would say the drive in the morning is only about 25 minutes. I’m sure I’ll be back again if I ever have to stay in Tampa, this is the place hopefully I’ll get to stay at.

Perfect stay!! Lovely cottage style guest house. Our visit exceeded our expectations. All details on the property were on point. AMAZING open space view of nature and beautiful lake. Location was ideal in a nice neighborhood area. Truly a 5 star rating. Rhonda and Simon our hosts were very welcoming and responded promptly to any inquiries, which was much appreciated. We enjoyed the property to its fullest and used the kayak that’s provided. Highly recommend this serene lakeside property. Thank you to our hosts for having us.
