About this property
Beach Happy Getaway!
Newly remodeled and 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!

Loved the view with the water and dolphins. Bar and restaurant close by was wonderful. It was a small room but we didn’t go there to sit inside. Would have been even better if there were a couple of waters there for when we arrived and coffee pods for the morning. We didn’t arrive til late at night and having a few extra special things for guests would make it 5 stars.

Host interaction, small updates needed. New couch definitely needed.
The area was lovely and the small private beach was perfect for our family. The two restaurants on property were excellent! The room was clean and had what we needed for our quick stay. The bath/shower set up is not ideal for people with small children who are unable to bathe themselves and there is a light outside the door that automatically turns on in the evening and is incredibly bright. The curtains are white and tan and do not block out the light at all. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the value was good, but the two things mentioned above were disappointing. I also reached out to the property owner three times with no response. I tried the app as well as the contact number provided at check-in. Communication should be improved.

Gym, 2 pools, 2 restaurants all on property. So handy! Things are needed a little care in our room however, & the grounds. The pool heater in the lg pool was broken. The little one was not very clean. In our room, the couch really needs replacing badly! The cleaning could be better too black mold in shower on shower head. Throw rugs were NOT CLEAN , I put them under the bed. I was not about to use them. The. Outside chair cushions are all ripped w the stuffing coming out. Just needs a bit of spiffing up
Thank you for a wonderful weekend, a manatee visit, and a dolphin fin hello made it more inviting, didn't notice the bad weather, it was perfect anyway, we will be coming back
Loved the place and amenities within the unit to use while we enjoyed our stay. Easy access. The water view was wonderful. Everything was within walking distance.
The property is excellent for couples that want to spend a relaxing stay away from the every day rush. The amenities are great and Marilin is an excellent host. Definitely we will staying again in the future.
The property was great! Right on the water with relaxing views to drink morning coffee and relax. Sunset bar and grill is a great way to end the evening with spectacular view of the sun going down and good food.
We enjoyed the stay. Clean room with everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable stay. Loved having quick access to the pool and beach area.
Great restaurants and wonderful local breakfast spots to eat.
