Place was amazing overall! Our entire family loved it from grandparents to kids. It was super clean, beds were comfortable and had everything you need to feel at home away from home! Mark was super responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend and coming back when we’re in Clearwater!

Today, when so many Airbnb’s have moved away from what once made them great - Mark and Emperor Rentals is the perfect example of what made Airbnb so successful. Mark was so kind, responsive, friendly, and proactive. The home was beautiful and we felt at home there. I have family that live in the Tampa Airbnb and from now on I will only stay at this location. It was the best Airbnb experience I’ve had in a very long time.
