Comfortable, clean but small. Owners were on site and so very kind, helpful and welcoming. Saw dolphins right off the dock! Had the pool to ourselves! We enjoyed our stay!

Cute and Simple!

We had a wonderful time staying here! It felt like our own private getaway. We had more interaction with the owners than previous places I’ve stayed, but that was totally okay because they were so kind, friendly and helpful! The house is at the end of a little inlet, so there’s not quite as much of an ocean beach-vibe as if you were to stay in one of the apartment buildings on the beach, but The Guesthouse offers so much more privacy and it truly feels like your own little oasis. With a pool, grill, and mini beach, there’s not much more you could ask for!

Work trip to Tampa

Quaint and cozy place on the water- good for 1 person or a couple max as it’s fairly small. Did t get a chance to take advantage of the amenities but very nice and ‘Florida-ey’. Highly recommend.

Minimum comfort for reasonable price

Owners very welcoming and supportive. Wish the guest “house” wasn’t just a converted shed. Needed a dehumidifier, fan in bathroom which was open to living area, and seating inside. A sofa bed or Murphy bed would offer comfortable indoor seating. Met our minimum requirements.

What a great stay!

I stayed 3 nights over Labor Day weekend, and the Guest House was awesome. It was perfect for me since I was a solo traveler, and I cannot wait to stay here again. I didnt use most of the amenities offered, but knowing they were available to me was great. Thank you so much. This was just what was needed to recharge my batteries!

Everything was great!

This was the perfect place for me to stay on my trip to the Tampa area. The apartment is separate and private from the main house, and it has access to the bay, a pool, and dock. Very relaxing and quiet. I would stay here again, for sure.
