About this property
The BoatHouse on the Hillsborough River- Enjoy river and downtown water views
Welcome to your own private oasis on the Hillsborough River with breathtaking water and downtown Tampa views. Relax on your own private dock with a cocktail while you wave to passing boaters and kayakers and enjoy seeing all the wildlife that calls the river home.
Hop on the Pirate Water Taxi that picks up at Armature Works ( 5 min drive from the house) and take a cruise down river to the Tampa Riverwalk in downtown Tampa, where you can hop on/off to enjoy some of Tampa’s best restaurants, nightlife, museums and parks!
The boathouse has 1 large bedroom with a King size bed and en suite bathroom with shower. There is an additional half bathroom as well and a stacked washer and dryer. The kitchen/living room combo room has breathtaking views of downtown Tampa and the river. The house was built over 50 years ago and has all the charm of an old Florida house with all the modern amenities you can expect from a vacation rental. You will spend most of your time sitting out on the dock, watching the passing boaters, wildlife and the beautiful view of downtown Tampa. There is nothing fancy about the boathouse, but it has what we all need -a comfy bed, fast WIFI and a comfortable and clean space to relax and get away from it all! The living room has a sectional couch that transforms into a full size bed that will accommodate another couple or additional children. The house also has it's own private gated parking lot for your vehicle.
