About this property

Beach happy Geataway!

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, in the Southshore area of Tampa Bay, this waterfront inn boasts beautiful views, a restaurant serving American-Caribbean fare and two pools to splash and swim in. Sunsets over the water are spectacular. Take them in by the Tiki bar with live music, from the pier, or at the onsite restaurant, Sunset Grill. You might even catch sight of a dolphin or manatee. This place is perfectly located between Tampa and Sarasota right on Tampa Bay. You'll enjoy access to a number of amenities including tennis courts, beach volleyball, 3 pools, 2 Jacuzzis, a Tiki Bar and more when you stay here! For an additional fee guests can access watersports activities, bike rentals. Hooks Restaurant offers poolside snacks, drinks and cocktails until 9:00PM. Go for a stroll through the tropical gardens or take a nap on the resort's private beach. If water sports are your thing, the resort offers a number of activities on-site including guided jet ski tours, kayaks, and paddle boating. After lounging at the beach, retreat to your air-conditioned LIVING SPACE. Curl up on the bed and enjoy your favorite shows on cable TV. In the early evening, step out onto the pier and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful sunset. You can easily connect with friends and family back home, courtesy of the complimentary Wi-Fi.
If you feel like venturing away from the resort, we suggest day trips to visit The Dali Museum, Busch Gardens, the Tampa Zoo, the Florida Aquarium, or The Alley, a bowling alley and arcade. If you want to dance the night away, we are just 30 minutes from Ybor City nightlife and South Howard neighborhood in Tampa.
We also have children’s playground that is great for the little ones.
There's something here for everyone!
I look forward to booking with you and hope you enjoy your beach home away from home!

Charming, clean, perfect getaway!

Unit 105 is absolutely adorable! The kitchen had everything I needed for cooking, along with plenty of space to store my food, which made it feel like home. The decor and finishes were fresh and modern, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. I also felt very safe during my stay, and the sense of community in the area was a nice touch. It was the perfect blend of comfort and style, and I’d definitely stay again! Bringing the fam, next time!

Couple getaway

This is our 2nd time staying at the location. Everything was clean and weather was beautiful. The 2 restaurant/bars located on the premise are very good as well. Only a 35+minute drive to Tampa or Sarasota so not to far from things. It is a quiet place to relax and get some sun. Highly recommend the place.
