The studio has a neat living area arrangement.

We are not a hotel service- these are self-serve units, meaning that we only provide essentials upon arrival. We do not replenish or offer room service. However, we are available to assist you for emergencies or if anything is not right.

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

Laundry mat and vending machines in the same building! Around the corner. 10 second walk.

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!

Needs attention
Lots of excuses for why things werent good. When someone rents for 6 weeks, problems should be taken care of beforehand! Queen bed sits way too low to floor so older people cant get out of it. So the 2 of us had to sleep in small full size bed. No lampshades on any lamps, dirty throw pillows,Dirty old bathmat, broken toaster, dehumidifer with water leaking down to power strip, no table outside. The worst are the cockroaches. Its florida so we dealt with it here and there, but it got worse everyday! The last day, they were coming out everywhere!!!!! Contacted management, she said they sprayed near us, and at least they were half dead. Not the response i expected.

This is my 6th time staying on the resort but first time staying here. I was unaware of the fact they didn't supply toliet paper which was no big deal but when I reached out to Carmen to let her know we only had one washcloth and 5 towels for 3 people for 10 days she told me they usually leave too much to check the closet I told her I did and there was none she replied that she would get us some never did. My husband had to go buy towels and washcloths. When I texted her the next day about the towels and washcloths no response. I was under the impression that there would be silverware and dishes. There was no silverware so we just bought all throw away plates, bowels and silverware. I spoke to others staying in different units there and they all had everything supplied for them. I seen the other rooms which were a lot nicer then ours. I would not stay in this unit again or one that Carmen is in charge of. But I love the resort itself.

Disappointed in the noise not the place
The place was quaint, clean and nicely decorated. I will return in spring and summer only. 2 issues, one don’t book in fall or winter, because if the weather is lousy and you decide to stay on one day, you can’t hear the TV over the a/c heat unit. You couldn’t adjust the volume on TV. On top of this issue. And you couldn’t read either. they were doing construction right next door to this unit. I would have had more peace and quiet if I had stayed home.
