Summary:

The Space:

Tucked along a private cove leading directly into Old Tampa Bay, the perks of waterfront living are just the beginning. A private dock with kayaks and a boat launch make it easy to explore the surrounding waterways at your own pace—whether you’re gliding across the calm surface at sunrise or simply taking in the scenic views.



As you head toward the home, you’ll pass through the backyard oasis, where a sparkling inground pool sits beside a spacious patio—an ideal spot to stay cool, unwind, and soak up the abundant Florida sunshine. Enjoy meals al fresco as you take in the serene natural landscape or slip into the hot tub for a relaxing soak beneath the open sky.



Waterfront serenity, outdoor comfort, and inviting amenities come together to make this the perfect escape.



When you’re ready to venture out beyond the home, all the local amenities you desire are close by.

The plentiful upscale amenities don’t end outdoors, as the home’s interior has been completely renovated to maximize the quality of your stay. Immerse yourself in the nautical charm of the sophisticated décor while unwinding on contemporary furnishings promoting a combination of relaxation and connectivity. Sink deep into plush living room sofas as you stream episodes of your favorite shows on the smart TV. Tall windows illuminate the space in natural light, offering an ideal setting for turning the pages of a new book. The modern kitchen is a showstopper, offering stainless steel appliances, glossy stone counters, and striking blue cabinetry with gold accents. Everything you need to create delicious creations right at home is available for you, with enough space to get the whole crew involved in prep and planning. The tea & coffee bar with Keurig brewer is certain to be your first stop in the morning, and we can’t think of a better place to take those first few sips than back out on the patio as you listen to nature come to life around you.



Fun and fitness also come easy at Cocoon Island Villa, the gym helping you stay on track with your goals and the game rooms calling to your competitive nature.

The house was perfect for us. We went down for a bachelor party and this location was in the middle of everything we were doing from our round of golf, going down to St. Pete's, a nice dinner at a steak house, and the casino. The host was incredibly communicative with any questions we had and the house was perfect. We all enjoyed time out in the back yard with the pool and hot tub. I highly recommend this home for your next stay in Tampa.

Very nice and comfortable house and looks like it was newly renovated. We had fun in the pool and did some fishing. The property is very close to anything you needed or wanted to do.

Great golf/boating destination in Tampa

We had a wonderful stay at the Cocoon Island Villa. We had a small gathering of friends over the weekend where were close to all sorts of top notch dining, golf, boating, entertainment and shopping! The property is breathtaking, and comfortable. Fun activities strewn about the house as well as the pool and back deck made sure there was never a dull moment. Thanks for a great experience!

Enjoyed the stay, but…

We had a nice stay overall, but the house definitely feels a bit tired and in need of some attention. There were several issues that impacted our experience. We noticed roaches during our stay, which was unsettling, and the hot tub was in need of a thorough cleaning. The outdoor area was generally unkempt—leaves and landscaping looked neglected and could really use some upkeep.The grill wouldn’t light properly or heat evenly, which made cooking difficult. Inside, there were no dressers in any of the bedrooms, very few hangers, and not nearly enough paper products or garbage bags provided. For a group of ten, the dining table only seated six, and the stools at the counter were too short to be functional.Recreational amenities were also lacking—pool sticks didn’t have tips, and the fishing poles didn’t work. While the location was convenient and we did enjoy our time together, the home needs some basic maintenance and a little TLC to match the expectations set by the listing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that parts of your stay didn’t meet expectations, and we really appreciate you pointing out the areas that need attention. We’re actively working with our team to address the issues you mentioned — including pest control, hot tub cleaning, outdoor maintenance, and updating the grill and recreational amenities. Regarding the bugs, we understand how unsettling that can be. In Florida, especially in homes near water, palmetto bugs can occasionally make their way inside — particularly when doors are left open. We do have regular pest control in place, but we’ll be sure to follow up again to reinforce treatment. It’s important to us that our home is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and your feedback helps us improve. We’re glad you still enjoyed your time together and appreciated the convenient location. Thank you again for the honest and constructive review — it truly helps us grow.
