About this property

This would be a fun get-away mini vacation on the historical Alafia River named by the Indians years ago; Alafia meaning 'River of Fire'.

The downstairs studio: Exclusively decorated white tile floor, l6 ft of closet space with mirror doors, all new appliances and granite counter tops. It has an outstanding view from the whole apartment. To just sit and relax or from the bed you can just marvel out at the river through the 20 ft of sliding glass doors. With this view, you can overlook the patio deck and boardwalk dock where you can enjoy fishing, relaxing, or water watching with pleasure. It has a small, man-made sand beach on 1/2 of the property and a fun tiki-hut on the other side for your favorite cocktail mixing, etc. This unit includes a washer and dryer.

There are 3 happening spots on the river just minutes away offering live music, karaoke, food, and fun. There is a pontoon rental just across the river which you could use to visit the three hot spots, or go to the local spring up the river (very popular with the locals on the weekends). Heading out to Tampa Bay (just minutes from the house), is a popular sand beach island where you can beach your boat and enjoy meeting with other boaters.

Relaxing vacation.

My husband and I were very satisfied with our stay in Riverview, Florida in March of 2022. We were close to friends, shopping, cinema, restaurants or we could just sit on the patio and watch the activity on the river. Our hostess, Candace was very nice and very accommodating. We would be very open to returning next year.
