About this property

Downtown Cottage | Walk Everywhere, Park once

This peaceful, centrally located 2-bedroom cottage sits in the heart of Historic Old Northeast, just steps from Beach Drive, the Pier, Vinoy Park, and North Shore Park. Guests consistently say the location is perfect—walkable to everything, yet quiet and relaxing when you’re ready to unwind.
Inside, the home is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out, with two separate bedrooms for privacy, a full kitchen, open living and dining areas, and a small workspace for remote work or studying. The jack-and-jill bathroom includes a walk-in shower.
One of guests’ favorite features is the private backyard and patio, where a small fountain helps soften city noise and creates a calm place to enjoy Florida’s outdoor air. Many guests mention they feel safe walking the neighborhood—even at night, which is rare and valuable in a downtown setting.
You’ll have off-street parking for one car with EV charging, and most guests find they can park once and walk everywhere. The nearby Looper free downtown trolley also makes getting around easy.
This home is ideal for couples, friends, or small families, and is especially convenient for guests visiting the North Shore Aquatic Center, attending events near the Pier, or wanting a quiet home base close to downtown.
What’s included:
2 beach chairs & beach towels
Off-street parking with EV charging
Full kitchen (dishwasher, oven, stove, microwave, fridge)
Fast, responsive host available if needed
You’ll have full access to the entire home, backyard, and front porch/patio.

📌 Please note:
• One off-street parking space
• No pets at this property

Guests return again and again for the walkability, quiet setting, and “feels like home” comfort—and I’m always just a text away if you need anything.

Excellent location, super clean and nice cottage. Host was very communicative and helpful. Only suggestion would be to swap out the pull out sofa for a more comfortable real bed in the second bedroom. Otherwise, perfect place and we had a great time.

The location is great. in a few minutes you are in North Shore Park walking along Tampa Bay. The cottage was clean and cozy. We just might rent it again next time we visit family in the area.

This cottage was absolutely perfect! Ideal location for an early morning walk along the water, late morning shopping at the shops off Beach drive, a stop at the magnificent Dali museum, cocktails at the Vinoy bar, dinner at one of the many fine restaurants steps away. The house was in perfect order, warm and cozy with every amenity needed and then some. And Lisa was a great host—very prompt and accommodating to any and all of my inquiries (and plan alterations due to the looming blizzards raging towards my home town). She made my stay — check in and check out— enjoyable and seamless. I would recommend this property without question.

Christmas 2022

This is the cutest little cottage tucked into a sweet neighborhood. It was chilly so no beach time but there is plenty to do in the area including riding bikes to see Christmas lights and visit a few local bars. We had a great little weekend getaway!
