About this property

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.

Great place

We were very pleased with our stay. This cottage is in a great location. The kitchen is stocked better than most places I have stayed. It even had a small espresso pot. Instructions for our stay were clear with great recommendations for local food and activities. Communicating with the host was easy with prompt replies to my inquiries. We will certainly return when we find ourselves in Tampa.

Everything we needed!

The garage apartment was nicely furnished and well supplied in the kitchen and elsewhere, the bed was very comfortable, and everything was very clean. It was less than a mile from medical facilities, several good restaurants were within easy walking distance, and it was in a charming neighborhood. Devin and Pam were both so helpful. We would definitely recommend!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Pam

Host profile image
I'm a Tampa Bay native and renovated my c. 1925 Craftsman Bungalow that I have owned for 30 years in Hyde Park, S. Tampa in 2017-2018. During this time I lived in my detached 2br/1ba garage apartment. Back in my house since 2019, I have shared the cottage with travelers for 6 years! I have hosted several folks from around the world in my home via Couchsurfing, so I'm familiar with the hosting concept. I frequently use this online community as well as Airbnb to stay with locals when I travel the world. "See the world" and "collect experiences over things" are my mottos!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood's historical character and walkability. There are numerous restaurants and bars walking distance from the cottage.

What makes this property unique

It's large and has 2 bedrooms with off-street parking. The kitchen is well-equipped. Few Airbnbs in this neighborhood offer these amenities at a competitive price.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
