Riverside Casita: semi-private pool, spa, dock, garden oasis, 5 min to downtown!
Imagine a garden oasis getaway on the banks of a river, yet one mile from all that downtown Tampa has to offer: The River Walk, Armature Works, Water Works Park, Julian B Lane Riverfront Park, dozens of restaurants and bars, museums, boats for hire at Convention Center and more!
The Casita is the pefect little oasis in Tampa! A dip in the pool to start (and end) the day, close to food, shopping, and downtown, and sunset on the dock over the river. Check in/out was a breeze. It was all perfection!
Absolutely wonderful place to stay! Everything you could possibly need, as well as a pool and hot tub! The hosts were great! Very communicative, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Would definitely rebook if we were ever in the area again. Thank you again for hosting us during our visit!
We loved our stay at the riverside casita! Weâre more outdoor people and the backyard was so comfortable and beautiful. Appreciated all of it, including the cute little dog that we fell in love with!
Everything about my stay was perfect from start to finish. The property was spotlessâsuper clean and well-maintained. The property managers were amazing! Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable about the area, but they also gave fantastic recommendations for local food spots that turned out to be absolutely incredible. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend!
To be honest I'm still at a lost for words. The Property and the Owners are the best host that anyone can ask for. The Property was great a very nice pool and wonderful Hot Tub with a covered sitting area to get some relief from the Tampa heat. The communication was excellent the host Heather was great. There was on site parking which was lovely option because I rented a car. There aren't enough words to describe how pleased I was with my 4 day stay. The property was a converted Pool House that was very spacious and comfortable. I wish the bathroom was a larger but that's a "Me thing". I would recommend this property to anyone who visits Tampa but doesn't want to stay in the downtown area.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Heather was very accomodating to our last minute changes, which was much appreciated. The location is very convenient and very quite.The place is well equipped, except for maybe some drinking glasses and one hand towel that had a large hole in it. Possible oversight. We enjoyed the pool and the patio very much.Overall a great place if you need a place to stay in Tampa.
The street was quiet and our casita on the property was very private and very well kept. It was a mini oasis that youâd never know was there!We had a short and sweet conversation with Heather and knew she didnât want to be in our way.. which of course she wasnât!The amenities were all she described theyâd be and we plan on coming back as long as our son lives just three blocks away! Thank you for your hospitality! I wish we could have stayed longer!
The cottage had everything we needed and the property was beautiful! We used the hot tub and the pool, and even the swing by the river. Heather and Tim are kind and attentive hosts.
We were there for 2 sporting events. Very comfortable, excellent location. The garden oasis was extremely practical especially for our 7 year old. The hosts were very responsive and helpful.
We stayed 3 nights in the beautiful little guest house. It was so close to everything including downtown. We loved the access to the pool and dock on the river. The sunsets from the dock were amazing. Heather was an amazing host and responded very quickly!
I can't say enough about our wonderful stay! It was the perfect location along with lots of amenities!! Sparkling clean and the hosts were exceptional! They exceeded our expectations and hopefully everyone reading will get the opportunity to stay at this gem. We will be back for sure!!!
This is an amazing, hidden gem. Quiet, private and luxurious. Tim and Heather are fabulous hosts and the casita is stocked with all the homey touches you could want. The pool is beautiful and refreshing. We love our stay and would definitely return. I highly recommend this property!
This Casita was perfect for our weekend stay. Heather was great at communicating with us. The outside was beautiful with the pool and hot tub. It was so beautiful to sit outside at night in the hot tub or eating outside at the patio table. The inside was spacious and clean and better than we ever expected. Would absolutely stay here again and again when in town.
We loved Heather and ? Tim's location, Amenities the dockview, tree swing, spa hot tub and pool. We've never rented a VRBO with the owners in their residence They gave us privacy.we stayed Friday night and Saturdaynight. Perfect location to get the Vibe of Tampa plus being close to downtown, University of Tamp, local neighborhood. Will recommend to a friend and return stay for us.
This casita is super clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with basic dishes and a few treats. We slept very well in the king sized bed. The place is located along a river and with a swing to relax on and kayaks upon request.
What we appreciated most was that Heather communicated with us before our visit and provided helpful recommendations like Lee's Grocery (a local pizza restaurant and bar) when we were there, We loved the large, clean and hot spa during our stay too!
Highly recommend this casita to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Tampa.
We flew in for a 4 night stay to visit with family. We have 5 children between the two of us so my significant other and I almost never have adult time. Not only was this place private it was a wonderful stay. Much more private than your average hotel stay. The pool and hot tub were available. As was the deck out by the water. We took the recommendations of places to visit and we were thrilled with all we were able to squeeze in our little trip. Wonderful hosts.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was our first time staying at a property other than a hotel or resort on a vacation and we were not disappointed!
The space had everything that is pictured. I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival as I feel the pictures don't do the area justice. The outdoor spaces were beautiful, with ample space and seating, yet still managed to feel intimate and private.
The indoor living space was also more spacious than I anticipated. We were travelling as a family of four, with a 4-year-old and 3-year-old in tow, and we did not once feel cramped.
Our girls absolutely loved the pool and spa tub! So much so that we had to force them to leave every day to the fun activities that we had planned! They even asked to cut our beach day short to head back to their "new home"!
Tim and Heather were both so kind to our family throughout our stay. It was so easy to communicate with Heather before we arrived, she allowed us to check-in a bit early and even had purchased arm floaties for our girls to be able to use in the pool. We appreciated all of their recommendations and advice on where to go and what to do, best ways to get there, etc. This property is so conveniently located to all the spots we had planned (Busch Gardens, Aquarium, Children's Museum, beaches).
They also completely respected the privacy of our stay as well and we never once felt as they were impeding on us.
Their sweet puppy was the icing on the cake! Our girls LOVED him!
Our cottage was absolutely adorable! It was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. The pool and hot tub area felt like our own private oasis â quiet, relaxing, and surrounded by beautiful scenery and the different little trees that made the whole setting even more charming and peaceful. Our host Heather was wonderful â she communicated with us promptly and shared great recommendations that made our stay even better. Weâd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and affordable getaway!
Very nice and private gem! Pool was clean and warm enough to enjoy. Hot tub was was amazing! Centrally located to whatever you're into! ONLY downside were the mosquitoes...BUT welcome to life by the water! . Host left plenty of spray and sunscreen out. Bed was super comfy, AC was awesome! Special touches like extra ice and my husband's drink of choice were waiting for us! All the amenities were ready to go. Would definitely stay here again if we come that way! Heather and Tim were great hosts!
