Charming home in the heart of South Tampa, two blocks from Bayshore with pool

Beautiful South Tampa 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home built in 1923 and completely renovated in 2019. Enjoy access to everything Tampa has to offer from this perfectly located home. Situated in the Bayshore Gardens neighborhood, just two blocks from the historic Hyde Park neighborhood and beautiful Bayshore Blvd. Close to downtown Tampa, the Riverwalk, and the University of Tampa, the home is a comfortable place to spend a relaxing vacation or a home base to explore the best Tampa Bay has to offer.
The space
The downstairs provides an open floor plan with a comfortable living room, dining area, and kitchen. There is a covered front porch with seating and a back patio by the pool. The downstairs master suite has a king bed and a dual vanity bath. There is a second entrance to this bath by the patio doors. There is another small bedroom off the living room with a queen bed. The private pool is in the backyard and there is a half bath with an outdoor shower under the back stairs.

The upstairs also features a master suite with a king size memory foam bed and a dual vanity bath. There are two more bedrooms, each with queen beds upstairs. One of these bedrooms has an outside door that leads to the back stair case to the pool deck. There is another full bath with a claw foot tub upstairs.
Guest access
The house is in the heart of South Tampa, two blocks from Bayshore Blvd. and within walking distance to the Soho district that features world class restaurants and shopping. The famous Bern's Steakhouse is less than half a mile away. Hyde Park Village is a quaint shopping area less than a mile away that also features some landmark Tampa restaurants, such as On Swann and Goody's. Once you get on Bayshore, you can head north into downtown with the Amalie Arena, home of the Stanley Cup champions two years in a row, only 2.5 miles away. Our Super bowl champs, the Tampa Bay Bucs, play at Raymond James Stadium, which is a short Uber away. Downtown Tampa also features the Riverwalk, the University of Tampa, Sparkman Wharf, and Armature Works. There are several city parks as well. The beautiful Gulf beaches are a 30-45 minute drive away. And the Orlando theme parks are an hour and 15 minute drive on I-4. We are truly in the heart of Tampa Bay!
Other things to note
Whether you're wanting a relaxing getaway or a fun home base from which to explore Tampa Bay, this home provides the perfect setting to meet your needs! There is currently a home under construction on the neighboring lot to our home.

Great Easter Weekend Getaway
The property was exactly as advertised. We stayed as a family of 7, ages 20 - 85 and had a great time and plenty of room. Excellent access to Bayshore for sunrise walking as well as good access to Tampa and the surrounding area. Neighborhood is quiet and walking access to several restaurants. Everything was very clean with all amenities thought of. For example, the outdoor grill was pristine and the owners thought to have a spare tank available (which we needed). Great stay, we will be back!

Perfect location for events around entertainment district.
Rehearsal dinner at Jackson’s Bistro and wedding at The Edition were easy to get to, just a short drive down beautiful Bayshore, well under 10 minutes. The home was beautiful and provided plenty of space for the eight adults staying over a long weekend. Front porch nice for morning coffee and it’s only a 5 minute walk to Bayshore for walks along the bay. Back yard with pool and hot tub (but not heated) and a fireplace was comfortable and private, though we did not get to use the back yard much due to wedding activities in the evenings.

Very Nice, Affordable House in Tampa for a Large Family
Christy has a beautiful, and clean house that has everything you could need if coming with a large group. Although the house is not huge, it does have 5 bedrooms, so it can sleep a lot of people comfortably. And the beds are very comfortable. Although only 3 bathrooms, they are newly renovated with luxurious amenities. The pool is nice, medium size, with a table and chairs so it's a great place to spend time with the kids. The location is solid, although nothing is close walking distance. You'll definitely want a car, but that's no problem because their driveway fits 2 cars, plus you can park on the street. Christy was very helpful, nice and responsive which I really appreciated. One piece of caution though: the security deposit is VERY HIGH - $5K (and we only stayed 3 nights). I think this is way too high for the property itself and the nightly rate. Plus, Vrbo charges your credit card for this well before you check in, and you don't get it back until basically 3 weeks after checkout. So depending on your credit card's billing cycle, this may be actually taken out of your bank account before it's refunded to you. I can see this causing cash flow problems for some.

Weekend trip to Tampa
Large extended family visiting our kid going to UT for long weekend. Beautiful home that was tastefully decorated. We’ve stayed in plenty of other VRBO Homes and this location had lot of little extra amenities. Could not find anything negative to share. Communication with Christy was quick and thorough. Thanks for sharing your Home with us and we will be booking this home in the future!

Perfect Location
The house is in a perfect location to experience Tampa with small children. We purchased a city pass to Busch Gardens, the Aquarium, and Lowry Zoo. Our location was approximately 20 minutes from our destinations. It's 40 minutes from Clearwater Beach. The house is in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen has all the amenities you need for a wonderful stay. The furniture is better than most rentals. Two large bathrooms accompanied both master bedrooms. We appreciated the wood for the fireplace and the s'more sticks came in handy for a wonderful evening. Communication with the owners was superb. They came in the evening our first night to lock the deadbolt to the balcony in the upstairs bedroom. We had a four year old who loved the "kids" room but we were nervous about the balcony. We enjoyed walking the bayshore park trail in the morning and Anderson Park is great for kids. Lots of restaurants nearby as well. We recommend Armature Works which was great for tired kids. It's not as close as other restaurants but offered space for kids to run around. We would definitely return.

Bachelorette Weekend
We stayed at Bayshore Gardens for a friend’s bachelorette party weekend in Tampa. The house was very central to everything. The house is very cozy and quaint. We didn’t have enough time to enjoy the backyard but the living room/dining space was the perfect gathering space for our group.

This was the best house to take my family, including my best friend and her mom, to celebrate my favorite holiday! The house was amazing, very roomy so people had privacy, large back area with a pool and a grill and a fire area. I will be recommending this place to people I know traveling into Tampa, but I will be trying to rent this in the future for any of my own trips first. This was my favorite rental I’ve stayed in and the host was very communicative and helpful!

Adorable home
We really enjoyed our stay. Very nice and clean house. We were a little disappointed that we did not know that the fourth full bathroom was actually an outdoor shower with a toilet and no door, just a curtain closure. We would have appreciated that being disclosed ahead of our stay. Additionally we could not find blankets in the master. Just an empty duvet. None of the above took away from the house and we genuinely liked and enjoyed staying in the house.
