About this property

Bayfront Cabana on Tampa Bay with Stunning Sunsets and Dock

The Cabana at Bayside, (formerly Dolphin Side) is currently being remodeled and will be ready March 2025 with new pictures.

Property is located directly on Tampa Bay. Brilliant sunsets with views of St. Pete skyline in the distance. Fish from the 80-foot or enjoy seeing dolphins, manatees, sting rays, seagulls, pelicans, osprey and many other fish and birds all in the comfort of the back yard. Grill and eat outside while overlooking the bay.

The Cabana at Bayside is a one-bedroom bayside unit with no steps to climb. The large bedroom/studio has a queen-size bed. The living room has a soft couch, love seat, rattan chairs, and terrific bay front views. Watch TV on the flat 50-inch QLED Roku TV, with HD antenna with over 80+local channels, and high-speed Wi-Fi. In addition, the dining room has a terrific table with seating for six with a view of the bay. The full chef/restaurant style kitchen has stainless steel tables, stovetop, small commercial oven, two coffee makers (auto drip and k-cup), microwave, dishes, and all cookware. The bathroom has an extra-large shower, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. There is also a washer/dryer combo in the laundry room.

The fishermen in your group will be able to fish right off the private 80-foot fishing dock that extends onto the scenic waters of the Tampa Bay or launch your boat at Shell Point Marina, Little Harbor or EG Simmons – literally a few minutes away. South Shore Tampa Bay is known for some of the best fishing around.

A small public beach is located Little Harbor Resort is just down the street, and offers a tiki bar, live entertainment, and waterfront dining. There are many golf courses nearby. We are small dog friendly with prior approval.

Upper level is Pelican Side. It is an annual rental with current resident.

This bayside retreat is centrally located being between Tampa and Bradenton/Sarasota areas. The property is only a few miles from E.G. Simmons Park which has a beach and walking paths with views of Tampa Bay.

Visit our cabana on the bay – we know you will leave with the happiest of memories, unforgettable sunsets and kiss of the sun on your face.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Darryl. I like the property because of the terrific sunsets nearly every evening, and it's located directly on the bay. I also like quiet Ruskin (home of the famous Ruskin tomato) with it's old school Florida charm. And if you like more activity, it's a 20 minute drive (via Port of Tampa) to Ybor City in Tampa, or a marina at St. Pete, or about an hour and a half to Orlando. I hope you enjoy the place as much as I do!!!
