Hotel room floorplan, no kitchen* No Pets Allowed* No Smoking Inside* Open Parking* Heated Pool* Boat slip not included- Must contact Marina for slip


The studio has two queen size beds, dining area for (4), plus sofa chair and ottoman. Very comfortable space layout for 4. Unit has a microwave, mini fridge, coffee pot with reusable filter, small counter for preparing coffee or small meals. Small cabinet with wine glasses, 4 glasses, 4 small plates, coffee mugs and silverware. Blender and toaster may be requested in advance if needed.

Please view photos. The building is located right in front of the bay , steps from the beach, pools and restaurants. The unit itself is facing the river (and you catch the SUNRISE!) where the water is calm, you can watch the mangroves, manatees, dolphins, sail boats, fishing boats, kayaking, paddle boarding, beautiful catamarans and pontoons peacefully riding by :) walk around the building and head down to the giant Pier to get a photo at the Pier. A must!

The unit is right next to the pool, laundry mat and the restaurants are also about 1-2 mins away, Tiki Bar by the beach (live music daily for a couple of hours) and a full bar by the canal as well. Very easy to have a chill vacay here.

This is a Caribbean-Style Family Community full of private amenities and activities for our guests! Centrally located in Tampa Bay and near many award winning beaches! We allow Instant Bookings and our guests can easily check in using our self check in process. No need to meet anyone. Our homes are all professionally cleaned after every check out, you can feel comfortable in a clean environment.

Walk down to the Private Beach and catch a peaceful nap! (1-2 minute walk within the community and free parking if you choose to drive). Take a dive or layout by our outdoor pool with canal views as boats cruise by. Order a poolside drink from Hooks Bar & Grill. Want a more calm poolside experience, walk a few steps to another pool option that is fenced in and quieter.

Feeling hungry? You have options! Hooks Bar & Grille is steps away and offers a full lunch and dinner menu with indoor and outdoor seating. String light patio seating with stunning waterway views. Don't want to miss the Sunset? Walk down to the Tiki Bar and Sunset Grille! Another great restaurant option with a full bar and Caribbean-American Cuisine. Want a memorable selfie? Walk down to the Pier to catch an amazing sunset with incredible skyline views of Tampa Bay! Kick off your shoes and walk down our cozy beach, private and family friendly.

Not ready for bed yet? Stay for live music! String lights come on and the live entertainment begins. Enjoy the sound of an acoustic guitar, sing along to popular tunes while feeling the breeze of the ocean hit your face.

Tomorrow is a new day, what else can you do? Endless options! Go fishing, kayak or paddle board! Take a guided boat tour or join a fishing tour. Rent a golf cart and explore the community. Want to visit the small islands? Rent a jet ski and take a ride to the privately owned but open to public, Beer Can Island! It has a floating Tiki Bar! Need a workout? Head down to the basketball courts! Have little ones? Plan a picnic in our outdoor picnic area that is located by the Playground! Let the kids play as you grill and enjoy the ocean view!

Want to explore outside of the community? Where should we begin?! For family fun, we recommend going to Busch Gardens, Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park, Children's Museum, Top Golf and Dave and Busters! Want to explore our Tampa Bay beaches? Pack your car, load the beach gear and head to Sarasota beaches, Bradenton beaches, Saint Pete Beach or Clearwater Beach! It's worth the drive, plan to stay the whole day! There is so much to do! Then come back to our peaceful community and enjoy the quiet, traffic free life at the end of the day.

Want to enjoy Tampa Bay but also visit Disney? Make the drive! It's worth it! Our homes are large and cozy for families, hard to find a deal like this near Disney. Many families book here and drive to Orlando. Here is a secret, Orlando doesn't have the nice beaches we have :) Stay here and drive to Disney for the day! That is the best way to get the best of both worlds! Tropical beach days and Mickey Mouse ears! After all, you already are in Florida! Make the best of it!

Special occasion? Anniversary, Honeymoon, Graduation, Birthday, Family Reunion? Ask me for ideas, I'd love to help you with your plans!

We had a great stay. We had a bit of a problem getting check in instructions, but as soon as we contacted the VRBO representative, the property manager contacted us right away. I would suggest bringing extra towels (esp beach towels), garbage bags and toilet paper. Otherwise great place and nice view. I would definitely return!

Sadly disappointed
The ad shows lots of pictures of the beach areas and most of these areas are no longer there. Due to hurricanes. We were not informed of this. The one time we went for a walk down to the tiny beach area we got yelled at for being on private property. Even after we apologized we were asked by security where we were staying. This is far from what the ad and pictures show. Half the area by the tiny beach area in front of the bar was fenced off. The room had mold on the shower liner the dishes were dirty and you dont have a sink to wash dishes you use the bathroom sink. The pillows were stained and the curtains are really torn up. The light outside of the room cant be shut off so it kept us up all night. Sadly disappointed in this place. This is really far from a resort beach area. Very misleading ad on virbo for this place. We were glad to leave. I wouldn't stay here again.

As described
The property was extremely clean! It was perfect for what we needed! My only issue was there was a typo in the directions I was given and spent 30 minutes looking for a building that didn’t exist. I reached out to the host and never heard back so I took a chance on the building I thought it may be and was able to get into the room. Overall we had a great experience.

Quick visit
The property was as advertised. It is a basic room with a mini fridge, coffee pot, and microwave. We appreciated the little counter above the fridge. The balcony is a great place to chill out and watch the water. It could use some small tweaks to make it even better. Level the fridge and table, spruce up the curtains above the ac unit, and clean the mold on the bathroom ceiling. Overall, I would recommend this place.

Could use a thorough cleaning
The room was not cleaned when we arrived. It’s a good thing we had plans to occupy us while it got cleaned. The room could use a good thorough cleaning….pictures over the bed had mold on them and the bathroom ceiling has spots of mold as well. Pictures were a bit misleading.

Not what we thought it would be
The listing says studio apartment, not a hotel room, beds were like sleeping on wooden slats . We were given the wrong code and we tried for almost 2 hours before we were finally able to get in with the new code.
