Sophisticated Sanctuary by the Bay

Our historic yet modern home has all the luxuries anyone could want on their vacay or business trip! The ultimate prime location a block S. from Bayshore Beautiful in South Tampa is centrally located and minutes from all the hot spots. 5 minutes to Hyde Park Village, 9 minutes to downtown and Raymond James Stadium, 7 mins to Tampa General Hospital, and less than a mile to the famous Bayshore Blvd where you can bike or take a stroll along the bay. This is your home away from home... your peaceful oasis.
Enter into our cozy domain by a digital lock and store your suitcases away on our luggage racks provided in each room with plenty of drawers and hangers to store away your belongings.
Step into our kitchen for some Keurig coffee making. Our kitchen is fully stocked for all your cooking needs.
The backyard is a sanctuary by day where you can take a catnap on the bohemian hammock under the palms, and by night it turns into a magical garden with twinkling lights.
It's game on in our game room with our top of the line foosball table, hookey board, and plenty of other board games to choose from.
Or just stay inside and have a movie night. Grab your popcorn at our popcorn station and chill at our foot massager and soak up a great flick on several apps to choose from like Showtime, Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Roku live and more!
Wanna go out? Plenty of great restaurants just steps away like Italian, Mexican, and Japanese. And a few blocks away seafood on the Bay at the Salt Shack!
We're just a text away with any questions about your stay in Tampa Bay!

Cozy home away from Home
This property is all we needed to feel comfortable. It is located in a good area, easy access to shopping, food, beaches, and highway access. Very clean and easy to find. It was a comfortable cozy place while away from home. The host was quick to respond and a joy. The home overall was lovely and fit all of my family needs. Great option.

Would definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is very neatly decorated and clean, in a safe and quiet area, and near anything you might need. Very close to the airbase, and within a 30 minute drive to most anyting Tampa or Tampa Bay you would want to do. Extra towels and bed linens, kitchen, laundry, and bathroom necessities are extra touches that made us feel at home. If in the area, I would definitely stay again!
