About this property

Tampa Bay Views - Watch Dolphins Daily

VRC20-000176

Your front-row seat to Tampa Bay sunrises and dolphin shows.
Westbay Cove 238 is a beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront retreat where floor-to-ceiling windows frame unobstructed views of Tampa Bay, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and daily wildlife performances. With recent updates, comfortable furnishings, and direct water access, this bay-front escape delivers the island lifestyle guests return for year after year.

"Sunrises were amazing… lovely setting." – Verified Guest
These experiences tell the story—this location creates memories.

The Bay-Front Experience
Wake to glowing sunrises over Tampa Bay. Watch dolphins, manatees, and wading birds from your couch through the wall of glass windows. Second-floor elevation means elevated views and added privacy. Floor-to-ceiling sliders bring the bay inside—you'll see water from nearly every room. Step out to your screened front balcony for morning coffee with pool views, then enjoy sunset cocktails watching the Skyway Bridge light up from inside your bay-facing living room.

Waterfront Views to Savor
The magic is in the watching, not the wading. Your backyard extends to the bay's edge where mangrove-lined shoreline creates natural habitat for incredible birdwatching and marine life viewing. Multiple Adirondack chair seating areas dot the waterfront lawn—settle in and watch the show. Dolphins feeding, manatees passing, herons stalking the shallows, pelicans diving. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge frames the distant horizon. This is waterfront living at its finest: all the beauty, none of the work.

Updated Interior Comfort
Recent updates throughout: Modern LVP flooring in living areas. Renovated bathrooms with contemporary tile, frameless glass showers, and spa-like finishes. Clean white kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, and everything you need for extended stays. The open living and dining layout maximizes those bay views—you'll see water from nearly every room.

Sleeping Arrangements
Sleeps 4. Primary bedroom: King bed, ensuite bathroom, balcony access, TV, generous storage. Guest bedroom: King bed, hall bathroom access, balcony access, TV. Both bedrooms positioned for peaceful rest away from living areas.

Location That Delivers
Five-minute walk to Manatee Public Beach—full amenities, lifeguards, restaurants. Publix and CVS directly across Manatee Avenue. Free island trolley access. Area hospitals within easy reach for traveling healthcare professionals. The best of both worlds: waterfront serenity with walkable convenience.

Community Amenities
Westbay Cove sits along Anna Maria Sound with recently renovated exteriors. Two heated pools (saltwater and chlorinated). Tennis court. Lush tropical landscaping. Well-maintained, quiet community perfect for extended stays.

Extended Stay Essentials
In-unit washer/dryer (no shared facilities). High-speed WiFi. Cable TV. Smart TVs in living room and both bedrooms. Full kitchen with dishwasher. Central AC. Ceiling fans. Two parking spaces. Everything works, everything's clean, everything's ready.

Perfect For
Nature lovers, bird watchers, photographers, kayakers, snowbirds seeking something special, remote workers wanting inspiring video call backdrops, couples craving romantic sunrises, anyone who's dreamed of waking up on the water. Month-long stays reveal why guests return season after season.
