About this property

Rare South Tampa Retreat • 4BR Oasis on 1.6 Acres

  • Trade crowded hotels for 1.63 private acres in the heart of South Tampa. This spacious 4-bedroom retreat gives your group room to relax, gather, and unwind while staying minutes from Downtown Tampa, Bayshore Boulevard, Hyde Park Village, Amalie Arena, and Tampa’s best restaurants, nightlife, and waterfront attractions.

    From the moment you arrive, the property feels like a hidden escape from the city. Mature trees, open green space, and the peaceful setting create an experience that’s incredibly rare this close to Tampa’s most popular destinations.

    THE SPACE

    Inside, the home is warm, comfortable, and designed for connection. The open-concept layout makes it easy for everyone to spend time together, whether you're cooking dinner, watching movies, playing foosball, or relaxing after a day exploring Tampa.

    The living area offers plenty of room to spread out, making it perfect for family vacations, friend trips, business stays, or event weekends. Every bedroom includes its own smart TV, so guests can unwind privately at the end of the night.

    The fully stocked kitchen has everything needed for slow breakfasts before heading to Bayshore, quick lunches between beach trips, or group dinners back at the house. With generous counter space and seating, it naturally becomes the center of the home throughout your stay.

    Sleeping Arrangements:
    • Sleeps up to 10 guests comfortably
    • 4 spacious bedrooms
    • 3 full bathrooms
    • Smart TVs in every bedroom
    • Ideal for families, groups, couples, and extended stays

    THE OUTDOORS

    What truly makes this property stand out is the land. Having 1.63 acres in South Tampa is exceptionally rare, giving guests a level of openness and privacy that’s hard to find in the area.

    Start your mornings with coffee outside surrounded by quiet open space. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit under the Florida sky, grill dinner on the BBQ, or enjoy drinks and conversation after a concert, Lightning game, or beach day.

    There’s room for kids to play, groups to spread out, and everyone to enjoy a slower, more relaxed pace while still being close to the energy of the city.

    The oversized driveway and 3-car garage also make arrivals easy for larger groups or longer stays.

    AMENITIES

    • Fully stocked kitchen
    • Foosball table
    • Outdoor fire pit
    • BBQ grill
    • Washer + dryer
    • 3-car garage
    • Large private outdoor space
    • Smart TVs in every bedroom

    THE NEIGHBORHOOD

    The location gives you the best of both worlds — privacy and convenience.

    Downtown Tampa is only minutes away, offering rooftop bars, restaurants, Riverwalk attractions, museums, nightlife, and waterfront dining. Catch a Tampa Bay Lightning game or concert at Amalie Arena, spend time exploring Water Street, or enjoy a night out in the city before returning home to a quieter setting.

    Bayshore Boulevard is nearby for morning walks, biking, jogging, or sunset views along the water. Hyde Park Village offers upscale shopping, brunch spots, coffee shops, and one of Tampa’s favorite outdoor dining scenes.

    For nightlife and culture, Ybor City is a short drive away with live music, breweries, bars, and historic charm.

    Planning beach days? Clearwater Beach and St. Pete Beach are both within reach for easy day trips.

    While the property offers exceptional space and privacy, the immediate area is not highly walkable, so we recommend having a car or using Uber/Lyft to comfortably explore Tampa and the surrounding areas.

    PERFECT FOR

    • Family vacations
    • Friend group getaways
    • Concerts and sporting events
    • Business travelers
    • Tampa weddings and celebrations
    • Extended stays
    • Couples traveling together
    • Guests wanting more space near the city

    Whether your trip is packed with Tampa activities or centered around relaxing at the house, this property gives your group the space, comfort, and location to truly enjoy your time together.

    We’d love to host your Tampa stay.

This was by far the worst VRBO I have ever stayed in. The house was not located in a great part of town to begin with, and things only went downhill from there. Upon arrival, the home appeared dirty and poorly maintained. It felt like a hodgepodge of mismatched furnishings and unfinished projects rather than a vacation rental prepared for guests.The kitchen was especially disappointing — very sparsely stocked and lacking basic essentials. There were no coffee cups (though there was a small Keurig and pods), no cutting board, no peeler, no mixing bowls, and no mixer. This was especially inconvenient since we were planning to prepare Christmas dinner. When I contacted the owner, they said they would bring coffee cups and a mixing bowl but not the other items. The cups that arrived were clearly from their personal supply — branded “Mercedes-Benz” mugs — which didn’t feel appropriate for a rental, but we made do.The kitchen counters are very old with Formica peeling in several places, and the bathrooms are extremely dated. The master bathroom didn’t even have a toilet paper holder. Maintenance throughout the property clearly seems to be neglected. The kitchen faucet was only producing a trickle of water, and we discovered it was due to calcium buildup — which we had to clean out ourselves.The yard was dreadful and completely uninviting, despite the listing mentioning a grill and firepit. It’s clear that upkeep and guest experience are not priorities for this property.
