Spacious Charming Hyde Park Cottage - Walk Everywhere!

Location, location, location! Welcome to our Historic Hyde Park cottage blocks from Bayshore, steps to Bern’s Steakhouse, and a short walk to Hyde Park Village and numerous restaurants and watering holes!!! This charming 2/1 (queen/twin), second story carriage house is in the heart of Historic Hyde Park and SoHo, and is a perfect getaway for the vacationer, remote worker/professional, Tampa Convention Center visitors (2 miles/easy Uber), MacDill AFB visitors, parent of local college kids, or locals who want a “staycation” in the city.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR DATES AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE! We may have some flexibility in our calendar.

The apartment is on the 2nd floor above the garage in a detached building from the main house. There is a flight of stairs behind the outside door, and another lockable door at the top of the stairs. We are open to longer term stays; please inquire via the message string. Please ask about amenities in our well-equipped kitchen. The master bedroom enjoys an upgraded Nectar queen mattress. Enjoy the plush Turkish cotton bath towels!

The 850 sf cottage has a private entrance, well-equipped kitchen, full-size fridge, washer/dryer, dishwasher, central heat and air, fast secure WiFi, hardwood floors throughout, new living room furniture, a smart TV, assortment of board games for rainy days, plenty of storage/countertop space, and off street parking. The cottage has two bedrooms with a queen in the master, and a twin bed with a desk and reading chair in the small bedroom. We provide YouTube TV (cable substitute), and all the other popular streaming services are available with your logon credentials. Don’t forget to log out before you leave! In addition, the Samsung TV has numerous viewing options.

Off-street parking is generally available in the driveway as the owner uses the rear garage door alley entrance for vehicle access; the owner will advise on the message string should he need the driveway during your stay. A BBQ grill is available for guest use on the back patio; directions are included in the House Manual. Guests are welcome to use the outdoor furniture on the back porch of the house. Off street parking is available.

We are close to the Tampa Convention Center, MidFlorida Amphitheater, Amalie Arena, Raymond James Stadium, Armiture Works/The Heights Public Market, downtown, Tampa International Airport, Ybor City, Tampa’s downtown Riverwalk, Hyde Park Village, and MacDill AFB. Busch Gardens is about 20 minutes away, and Pinellas County beaches are about 45 minutes away.

Perfect Hyde Park location
Great property in the perfect location for our stay to celebrate a family event. We enjoyed sitting in the garden for morning coffee and walking into Hyde park to the restaurants and shops. The hosts were very responsive to every question we had as we were deciding where to book as well as during our stay. We would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in the Hyde park area.

Fantastic property with gracious hosts. An extremely clean and well appointed gem for location nestled into Tampa’s SOHO district with great spaces for walking (Bayshore boulevard) and many restaurant options. A definite recommend for anyone looking for a city-quiet but fun-accessible getaway.

Great Home Base for Exploring Tampa
My husband and I had 3 days to explore Tampa and the cottage was a perfect home base. Really nice walkable neighborhood with restaurants and coffeeshops close by, easy access to the highway and a comfy bed to come back to at the end of a long day. We would definitely stay here again!

Location is awesome, right off of SoHo. Being able to walk to bars/restaurants/7-11 is a big plus. Price was good too. Owners are personable & helpful. Only "complaint" is I wish the couches were more comfortable. But we would definitely stay here again.

Hyde Park Cottage
We had a very enjoyable stay at this Hyde Park cottage. The place is exactly as shown in photos. Cottage is clean and comfortable. Communication with owner/host is pleasant and quick. Neighborhood and area very nice and has much to offer in terms of entertainment, dining, etc. Great area for walks in neighborhood or by the bay. Overall experience was outstanding.

Excellent VRBO
This was our first time staying at a VRBO and upon looking at the reviews and location, we decided this was the place to stay. Every review was on spot. The cottage is very clean and comfy. Very private setting and quiet at night. We were able to walk in the morning to a cafe for breakfast. Took our car into Hyde Park village, a very short distance. Was happy that we could park in the private driveway and not on the street. Devin and Pam were very prompt with any of our questions. Our overall stay was excellent and would recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the Tampa area.

GREAT STAY. BE BACK AGAIN
We were in Tampa for a few days to drop our daughter off at the University of Tampa, so we thought we would try a VRBO rental, since the hotels are very expensive in Tampa The Apartment was exactly as advertised. It was very clean and beautifully furnished. The neighborhood was quiet, clean and safe. I advised the owner, Devin, that I would be arriving late at night. When we arrived there were snacks and drinks waiting for us in the apartment put out by the owner. After a long day of traveling this was a very pleasant and appreciated surprise. I HIGHLY recommend this rental. I will be staying here again when I return to Tampa. Thank you Devin and Pam.

Hyde Park Adventure
Initially my wife and I planned a one night trip to Tampa to dine at Berns Steakhouse. My wife was living in St. Petersburg and working in Tampa before we got married. When I explored accommodations for our dining experience I discovered this delightful vrbo property in Hyde Park. So,we decided to extend our trip to a three night stay. What a great decision! The property is delightful in every way. The location is steps from Berns Steakhouse and many other great restaurants. It is a great walking location convenient to Hyde Park Village, Tampa Bay, Ybor City, St Petersburg, and many other points of interest. It was our first trip back to Tampa since we were married almost 32 years ago. We won’t wait as long next time and we will be sure to stay the same place.
