The Casita is the pefect little oasis in Tampa! A dip in the pool to start (and end) the day, close to food, shopping, and downtown, and sunset on the dock over the river. Check in/out was a breeze. It was all perfection!

Lovely stay in a beautiful oasis

We loved our stay at the riverside casita! We’re more outdoor people and the backyard was so comfortable and beautiful. Appreciated all of it, including the cute little dog that we fell in love with!

Excellent Stay

My daughter and I had an awesome time at this home. The parking was very easy and the proximity to the airport/downtown area is unbeatable. The pool and hot tub were awesome. The owners were easily accessible, however, everything was set-up so smoothly, we only contacted them to thank them. Very clean room and bathroom.

Downtown Oasis - Perfect Getaway

Everything about my stay was perfect from start to finish. The property was spotless—super clean and well-maintained. The property managers were amazing! Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable about the area, but they also gave fantastic recommendations for local food spots that turned out to be absolutely incredible. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and it truly felt like a home away from home. We will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommend!

Very nice and private gem! Pool was clean and warm enough to enjoy. Hot tub was was amazing! Centrally located to whatever you're into! ONLY downside were the mosquitoes...BUT welcome to life by the water! . Host left plenty of spray and sunscreen out. Bed was super comfy, AC was awesome! Special touches like extra ice and my husband's drink of choice were waiting for us! All the amenities were ready to go. Would definitely stay here again if we come that way! Heather and Tim were great hosts!

Hidden gem

This place is special! Studio type living located in this private backyard. Heather and her husband are very friendly. Tons of amenities at your disposal; unfortunately I was on the go so much I didn’t get to use them all. Will definitely consider staying again on my next trip to Tampa Bay.
