Tampa Takeover 2027 Housing

Housing Is Reserved

The family selected and reserved the main villas and a nearby overflow house for Tampa Takeover 2027. Together, the properties cover the full group while keeping everyone close.

Housing POCs: Paul and Lamar.
Final plan: The main villas and a nearby overflow home are reserved. The overflow home is about 4 minutes away because the main property holds 40.

🏆 Winner: 2 Pool Villas, One Block

This reserved property gives the family a pool-villa setup with space to gather, kid-friendly entertainment, and strong beach proximity. Since the main home holds 40 guests, an overflow home has also been reserved nearby.

🏡 Overflow Housing Reserved

The main housing choice holds 40 guests, so an overflow home has been reserved about 4 minutes away. The overflow house will help balance the final headcount and give quieter space for selected family members.

💵 Housing Cost & Payment Deadline

Housing payment is $500 per paying adult and is due by April 15, 2027. This covers both the main villa listing and the nearby overflow house.

Who pays: Paying adults are responsible for $500 each. Melvin II, Nancy, Mattie, children, teens under 18, and babies do not pay.

🛏️ Current Room Assignments

These are the current starting assignments. Small changes may happen once everyone is officially confirmed, but this layout keeps family groups together, keeps elders comfortable, and keeps the teens/younger crowd near the entertainment in the villas.

🏠 House Expectations

Both reserved homes are in quiet residential areas, so the family needs to protect the reservation, respect the neighbors, and follow the host rules. Final instructions from Airbnb or the hosts always come first.

Main Villas Expectations

  • Respect the 40-guest limit. This is why overflow housing is reserved.
  • Quiet hours matter. The listing notes quiet hours from 10 PM–8 AM for outdoor amenities, pool areas, and outside grounds.
  • Parking must stay in the driveways. Do not park on the grass or street; the two villas list driveway space for up to 10 cars combined.
  • Pool and kids need supervision. The listing says the home is not childproofed and includes bunk bed safety warnings.
  • Check-out is before 11 AM. The listing notes a minimum fee if the 11 AM checkout is not followed.
  • Be aware of safety devices. The listing mentions exterior cameras, a front-door Ring device, patrol security, and an indoor noise decibel monitor.

Overflow Home Expectations

  • Respect the 10-guest maximum. The overflow house is reserved for assigned guests only.
  • Check-in is after 4 PM and check-out is before 11 AM.
  • Pool safety is important. The listing notes a pool/hot tub without a gate or lock and pool-area alarms required by local regulations.
  • Use the grill safely. The listing says guests provide their own charcoal.
  • Respect off-limit areas. The shed and garage supply cabinet are locked and not for guest use.
  • Plan parking. The listing shows two driveway parking spaces.
