The space is fully furnished and comes with queen bed that has a highly rated foam-based mattress. The bath has a brand new full-sized shower. Storage is plentiful. Central heat and air distributes the AC evenly throughout the space. Vaulted ceilings and ample lighting make this cottage feel big! Games and books are available for rainy days.

About the host

Hosted by Devin

Host profile image
I'm a Tampa Bay native, and renovated my c. 1925 Craftsman Bungalow that I have owned since 1995 in Hyde Park, S. Tampa. During this time I lived in my detached 2br/1ba garage cottage. I'm back in my house and I have rented this cottage since 2019.

After devastating hurricane flooding in September 2024, my second renovation of Cozy Cottage is complete as of December 2025, and I'm happy to welcome back guests into this cozy space across from the beach that I have owned since October 2020.

Having retired from the corporate world in August 2024, "see the world" and "collect experiences over things" are my mottos!

Why they chose this property

Tampa house: I love historic neighborhoods that are walkable.
Cozy Cottage on Madeira Beach: I wanted a small beach getaway that was rentable.

What makes this property unique

Tampa: Walking distance to several shops, restaurants, bars. Large space. Central H/A. Located in a walkable historic district.
Madeira Beach: right across the street from the beach, newly renovated, central H/A, everything is new!
