This little house was a distinct pleasure and surprise, located in a beautiful tropical quiet and secluded backyard with plenty sunshine or shaded sitting options and a private dock with over the river covered table for work or socializing. Hosts are responsive, accessible and super friendly when I needed them. Place is immaculate, very comfortable, plenty of towels and pillows, and made for a perfect week long stay just two miles up the Hillsborough River from the Convention Center. Can’t wait to return.

The room was superb! Every amenity you good need for a stay. They even provide extra towels and blankets. The AC was ice cold and the king sized bed was perfect. We slept great every night. The pool was perfect for a mid afternoon dip and sitting on the dock at night was amazing. The owners were super friendly and provide us with and information we need and even set us up to fish if we wanted to. It's was also one of the easiest check out processes we're had. We'd give the 7 stars if we could. Definitely will be our first choice to book again

Our cottage was absolutely adorable! It was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. The pool and hot tub area felt like our own private oasis — quiet, relaxing, and surrounded by beautiful scenery and the different little trees that made the whole setting even more charming and peaceful. Our host Heather was wonderful — she communicated with us promptly and shared great recommendations that made our stay even better. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and affordable getaway!

The Casita is the pefect little oasis in Tampa! A dip in the pool to start (and end) the day, close to food, shopping, and downtown, and sunset on the dock over the river. Check in/out was a breeze. It was all perfection!
