Beautiful waterfront home on the Alafia River leading to Tampa Bay and Gulf of Mexico. You will have access entire first floor of the house and a beautiful dock and huge Sundek. Bring your Boat and fishing rods or skis. (Boat Docking and trailer parking on premises) Excellent Fishing and Wakeboarding. In minutes you can be in Tampa Bay, Williams park boat ramp is just a few minutes away. One bedroom with queen bed and living room with 2 sofa beds with 1 full bath, sleeps 4 people. If you're looking for a nice waterfront restaurant we often visit Fin's or Circles in Apollo Beach, Joia on Gibsonton Drive, Rivers Edge or Tiki Docks on the Alafia, & Little Harbor in Ruskin. All noted restaurants are 5-20 mins away! The International Independent Showmen's Association Event Center and Museum is close to property and they have tours of the Museum. It can sometimes be noisy during some events. ( A few days a year). Please check for times and dates before booking if you have concerns.
We enjoyed our stay! The location had great views and we really enjoyed the dock and screened in patio. Gary was great about ensuring we had everything we needed.
Gary was an awesome host very friendly and helpful! Place was clean and fit 5 of us perfectly. Location was cute and peaceful right on the water. Would recommend for a more chill and quiet getaway. Definitely recommend to anyone!
My parents and my wifeâs parents have stayed at Garyâs places several times and they really enjoy the locations on the river. Staying on the river is peaceful and just the right spot. The homes/rooms are always clean and you have what you need even for an extended stay.
Restful, relaxing and we loved the swing on the deck. Right on the river, the view was lovely. Nearby restaurants were delicious. We can highly recommend Joia, described as a pizza and martini restaurant. The ravioli and salad was very good and the chocotini was wonderful. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.
River Charm lived up to its name. We had morning coffee outside in the lanai every morning. Watched the sunrise, the Pelicans fish and so many other birds to watch. Location was perfect for us. Less than 10 minutes, by back roads, to our daughter in Riverview. Great stay and perfect spot for us.
Essentially the enclosed space of a "stilt-house". Very cramped, especially the bath tub/comode/sink. Had no dining table, only 4 elevated bar chairs for a short counter. Communication with host did not begin well: aside from the entry code and WiFi password, greeting message was a litany of threatened "fines", including trying to pass responsibility for an inadequate septic tank ($200 "fine" if it clogged). Would not recommend this property or others of his ownership.
Both the owner and the property manager; Cody, were extremely helpful and responsive. Great experience if you like to fish, right off Garyâs dock. Easy access to lots of Tampa attractions.
Beautiful, Unfortunately, it was more business than pleasure. Would like to stay there again when we could enjoy everything, It is a part of Florida you don't get to see and I live in Fl.. Loved it.
