About this property
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. 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!

About the host
Hosted by Christy Mazer
I am originally from North Carolina and relocated to Tampa in 2018. I had dreamed of owning a vacation home for years and launched my home in Bayshore Gardens in 2021. I love the art of hospitality and work hard to make each stay at my home one that my guests will have great memories of when they travel home.
Why they chose this property
Bayshore Gardens is in the heart of South Tampa. You are steps from beautiful Bayshore Blvd., which has the longest continuous sidewalk in the world. It's the perfect setting to walk or run and you can requently see dolphins, mantees, and stingrays in the bay. you can also walk uup Howard Ave. to lots of great restaurants.
What makes this property unique
My home is a lovely spot to call your own. Whether it's a family getaway, or a group of friends, it is a wonderful place to make memories. I take great care to provide a positive experience for each guest and am always available should a guest need me.
