Resort Style Oasis w/ Pool for Groups & Retreats in Tampa's Coolest Neighborhood
Welcome to the Kentucky Star, an exquisite, private resort-style retreat nestled in the vibrant heart of Tampa. This luxurious sanctuary is ideal for large groups or families, offering two meticulously appointed guest houses, each with its own fully equipped kitchen. The first house features three elegantly designed bedrooms, while the second boasts two spacious bedrooms, ensuring privacy and comfort for all guests. Multiple inviting spaces are designed for both social gatherings and quiet moments of solitude, catering to every need and mood.

For outdoor dining and entertaining, a fully equipped kitchen and expansive dining area await, complementing the culinary spaces within the guest houses. The sprawling yard, encased in a serene canopy of palm trees, offers a variety of unique features: native American chickee huts scattered across the landscape provide cozy hideaways, while sun loungers and a tranquil swinging bed create the ultimate setting for relaxation. Additional conveniences include a poolside bathroom, ensuring comfort and ease throughout your stay. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to offer an unparalleled experience of relaxation, luxury, and privacy.

Riverside Heights and "The Heights" in general in Tampa is a collection of historice neighborhoods with an ever present growth of the best family and private owned restaurants, bars, cafes and venues. Centrally located, one can easily access Ybor City, Raymond James Stadium, Water Street, Armature Works and more in just 10 minutes or less, while other areas of interest like USF, Moffitt Cancer Center, Lettuce Lake Park, Hillsborough River State Park, Busch Gardens and Adventure Island are within 15-25 minutes away.
What makes this property unique
Kentucky Star offers two separate guest houses, each with their own kitchens and unique bedrooms and bathrooms, which share the central swimming pool and outdoor space. The entire property is rented as one, so it is perfect for groups or families who wish to have some privacy but remain together as a group. Great for retreats as well, there are specific areas or yoga or meditation, and for corporate of business travelers there is enough separation to remain private yet many social areas to be shared. It's extremely unique for the area and the location is unbeatable!
