The 850sf cottage is on the 2nd floor above the garage in a detached building from the main house. There is a flight of stairs behind the outside door, and another lockable door at the top of the stairs. We are open to longer term stays; please inquire via the message string.

Great Spot!

This was my second time at this property, and, just like the first stay, it was awesome. I go to Tampa often on business, and having a place in a great neighborhood, close to work it such a pleasure. Devin and Pam are also awesome hosts!

Perfect stay in a charming historic neighborhood! We absolutely loved our stay! The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The neighborhood was full of charm—quiet, walkable, and felt very safe day and night. We enjoyed being able to stroll to local restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques without ever needing to drive. Parking was easy and convenient, which made coming and going stress-free. This rental truly exceeded our expectations—clean, cozy, and perfectly located. We can’t wait to stay here again on our next visit!

This place is a real gem. Perfect for my wife and I. Our intent was to stay and visit our grandson, who lived 8 minutes from us. We cooked a few home grown meals while there and kitchen was well stocked. it was clean, cozy and comfortable. I’m sure his mom and dad will be inquiring about this place for future visits. The owner was super friendly and answered all our inquiries quickly. You can’t go wrong with his place.

UT College move in. Weekend stay.

This was the very first rental property we stayed at when we first came to Tampa 2 years ago to move our daughter into U.T. and it set the standard for us. It is a beautiful home in a safe, quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Walking distance to Bayshore Rd and several fine restaurants nearby. University of Tampa is only a few minutes away. I highly recommend this property. Devin and Pam are great hosts.

Perfection

Our first stay in the area since our son moved down to Tampa. So clean, comfortable beds, amenities are top level.. and we easily walked around the corner and had a choice of restaurants. I worked out daily and felt save on the sidewalks at all times. I cannot say enough about this place and the owners. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Pam

Host profile image
I'm a Tampa Bay native and renovated my c. 1925 Craftsman Bungalow that I have owned for 30 years in Hyde Park, S. Tampa in 2017-2018. During this time I lived in my detached 2br/1ba garage apartment. Back in my house since 2019, I have shared the cottage with travelers for 6 years! I have hosted several folks from around the world in my home via Couchsurfing, so I'm familiar with the hosting concept. I frequently use this online community as well as short-term rentals to stay with locals when I travel the world. "See the world" and "collect experiences over things" are my mottos!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood's historical character and walkability. There are numerous restaurants and bars walking distance from the cottage.

What makes this property unique

It's large and has 2 bedrooms with off-street parking. The kitchen is well-equipped. Few Airbnbs in this neighborhood offer these amenities at a competitive price.

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
