Waterfront Condo - Sunset View of Tampa Bay

AfiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Highly recommend!!! The cando is beautiful with a nice view, WiFi,and right about everything you’d need. Check in was really easy and the Host is Amazing. He’s very responsive and ready to help with anything! I went for my first solo trip and was a little scared but when I asked for things in the area he had plenty of recommendations, a lot that were within walking distance. The security was great, so not once did I feel unsafe!

Riverside Guesthouse Tucked Away in Hip Seminole Heights

KarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is the perfect getaway if you crave peace, quiet, and nature. The simplicity, yet character, of the river guest house is charming. Although I stayed there alone, there is plenty of room for another adult. Although it is already stocked with everything you need, the hosts communicated that if I were to need anything, to let them know. I highly recommend staying here, and I would definitely stay here again.

Palm Hideaway on the Cotee River

AngelinaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This is the 2nd time I have stayed at Palm Hideaway. I needed a get-a-way and this is like a perfect little oasis. The hosts have thought of EVERYTHING. Clean, well stocked, amazing back yard with a dock, kayaks and a fire pit. Even a little private tiki bar area. I'm already trying to come up with a reason why I need to go back.

LucRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We spent only one night here, but wished it could have been more. The location is nice, next to a lake. The house is extremely well stocked with everything you might need and more One thing to note : do not trust Google maps. It will bring you to the nearby s pool or to the neighbors house (at the end of a cul the sac). A short drive across the grass will bring you to the right place

Despite a hurricane (that we knew was coming) Perfecto was a great communicator and the house was spotless and updated quite nicely! It fit our needs perfectly for the weather event as we had several news crews in the area that needed comfortable and safe housing in very difficult conditions! I would absolutely book this property again.

Heron's Hideaway- Studio by the bay!

PaulaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
So glad we booked this cute place! The condo was just as described and pictured. Easy to find, very clean, nice pool area, beautiful view from the balcony and perfect for the two of us for the weekend. She had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, all linens including a few beach towels, sun screen (which saved me from having to go buy some!), washer and dryer with soaps... everything as described! We really enjoyed our time here!! The restaurant next door was great for appetizers and drinks, they had live music as well. We didn't care much for our entrées, just pricey for what we got. I'm glad we ended up getting a rental car last minute as one way uber was about $30 to go into town, so I do recommend a car if you plan to go on adventures! In all, fantastic place for some peace and quiet!!

Quiet home on large property

JavierRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Due to the storm, I was desperately trying to find a place for my girlfriend’s family to stay, and luckily Christina’s place opened up. When I began communication with Christina, she advised me that they just got power back as well, but she could open the booking a day early so I could get them out of the heat. She communicated really well and the description of the home was very accurate. If you’re looking for a place to stay for some peace and quiet while still being close enough to get groceries or even go out to eat, I would recommend this house 100%.

Your guide to Tampa

Introduction

Tampa blends the bustle of a commercial hub with the subtropical charms of a winter resort. The city is the Tampa Bay Area’s cultural center as well, with a buzzy restaurant scene, art museums, and theaters. As you’d expect, given the winter and spring tourism, activities for visitors with relaxation on the brain are plentiful. But Tampa is a locals’ town, too, as you’ll discover by meandering around the hip neighborhoods of Seminole and Hyde Park or joining the joggers on the 2.6-mile Riverwalk, which cuts through the heart of town. Many visitors spend at least one day beach-hopping on the Gulf Coast, migrating from Clearwater Beach to Indian Rocks Beach and Treasure Island.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Tampa

Although locals may sense more subtle shifts in the weather, there are two major seasons in Tampa: a hot, rainy summer and a perfectly pleasant fall, winter, and spring. From June to October, the temperatures peak in the 90s Fahrenheit during the day and cool to the 70s at night, which isn’t very cool at all. Thunderstorms are frequent, tropical storms regularly pass through the area, and the humidity skyrockets.

From November through May, the heat settles down into more comfortable ranges — 60s and 70s Fahrenheit — and the rains come infrequently. You’ll want to pack a light jacket for the evenings, and perhaps a few sweaters in case December and January see one of their occasional cold snaps, but there’s a reason many people book vacation rentals for the winter here.


Top things to do in Tampa

Ybor City

A historic Cuban American enclave that is now the center of LGBTQ+ life in Tampa, Ybor City blends the old and the new in colorful and charming ways. You can take a cigar tour to learn more about the neighborhood’s best-known industry, eat at least one of the Cuban sandwiches that may have originated here (Miami begs to differ, naturally), and explore the area’s abundant nightlife.

Clearwater Beach

Just 35 minutes west of Tampa, you’ll find a chain of slender barrier islands and some of the Gulf of Mexico’s most stunning beaches. Clearwater Beach offers the white sands and warm waters you’d hope for, along with restaurants, bars, and tourist services. Just north of Clearwater is the undeveloped Caladesi Island State Park, where you can steer a kayak through the mangroves or wander along nature trails.

Florida Museum of the Photographic Arts

One of the state’s cultural capitals, Tampa does not lack for great museums, including the Tampa Museum of Art and the Tampa Contemporary Art Museum. The Florida Museum of the Photographic Arts occupies two floors of the building known as the Cube, a work of art in and of itself. Its permanent collection and temporary exhibits shine a light on photographers of the last five decades, from the internationally known to up-and-coming local artists.
