Casita on Central - 1 / 1 Apt in Foodie District!
It was great. Everything was clean. The place was pretty and it smelled amazing. However, keep in mind it was very much a little house, it was cozy. Also keep in mind the room doesn’t have a door. Frank was amazing, communicating, and the description of the house was accurate.

I love it, the place was clean and spotless also very cozy. Highly recommend if you ever in Tampa

Coastal in the Heights
I highly recommend booking a stay here. This was a perfect, peaceful and relaxing stay while we were on vacation. The outdoor area was my favorite place to spend time with the privacy and beautiful surroundings. If you are going to enjoy a game or concert at the Buccaneer’s stadium, this is a great location being less than 20 minutes from the field. Overall, we will absolutely stay here again when we come back to visit Florida again, it was a perfect!

Guest studio on Bayshore in So. Tampa
My husband and I own a very demanding business and needed to get away after a very busy season. We found this Airbnb & I can honestly say that the pictures truly don't capture how wonderful the studio space is! It's incredibly cute, very spacious, and so comfortable. We immediately felt at home upon arrival and were greeted by the property owners' adorable dogs. We found it to be extremely worth the price. The location is also fantastic, with lots of delicious restaurants and activities nearby. We would absolutely love to visit again! Thank you for an amazing space for a getaway from our day to day life!

Tampa fishing vacation rentals

2 bedroom Luxury Private ADU Apartment on a lake
Cascade’s place was perfect for our stay for my daughter’s lacrosse tournament. It was only 15 minutes from the venue, close to grocery stores, and less than what a weekend at the hotels would be, with more privacy. The owner was very responsive to our questions or concerns, and she was easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront Studio Home in Paradise
We loved staying here for a few days! Gorgeous and peaceful corner of Apollo Beach and the outdoor area was such a great spot to enjoy our morning coffee. We're really grateful we discovered this place and Rose was so welcoming. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an escape in the area.

Spacious Lakehouse Suite - Nature Lover's Paradise
Judi's place is amazing and so was she, she is a great host. It was a very relaxing and peaceful stay. She has a beautiful home on a beautiful property. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet, and close to everything we needed. We will definitely book again when we are in the area.

Seminole Heights Riverside Paradise w/Pool
We loved Isla de Dij! Very peaceful, beautiful surroundings and pool. We would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon.

the Star
Jairo's place was exactly as described/pictured. The space was super clean and conveniently close to Busch Gardens. It is located in a quiet community and we enjoyed the walks by the lake with our dogs. We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone visiting the parks, USF or just looking to stay in the area. The property was stocked with essentials (i.e. toiletries, coffee) which we really appreciated.

Lakefront Farm Tiny Home
My friend and I both had lake homes in the past and both wanted to try staying in a tiny house. It was a fun two nights. Beautiful lake and very nice donkeys. My little dog Elli was timid and didn't know what to make of them. We had a few laughs over that because Elli kept checking to make sure they were not following us back to the nice safe screened porch. Area just opened a new organic Sprouts grocery store which is wonderful. Wish we had one in Palm Coast. A very cute little place .

Casa Paraiso- Pool Home with Canal Access
Very clean and comfortable bungalow with a stellar backyard area with lots of seating and places to lounge. Multiple tvs and a very fun game room, and three spacious bedrooms. Located in a great area with just two miles to Publix and other retail locations. The kitchen was fully stocked - could use a little love, as the silverware and cutlery were well used - and clean. The hosts are truly the hidden asset of this unit. Upon arrival, we learned that the previous tenant had broke the coffee pot. We asked Lorena about this on arrival and had a new coffee pot delivered in 90 minutes! Never had faster responses to any requests, and it was all positive. Very impressed and would stay again.

Lakefront Retreat w/Pool-Views-Elegant Furnishings
Lindsay was a fantastic host and gracious with me during airline delays and cancellations. She went above and beyond many other hosts to make sure the stay was easy and pleasant. She greeted us as we arrived and showed us around, you get the entire upstairs with enough amenities to keep me comfortable even while working remote for the week.

Your guide to Tampa
Introduction
Tampa blends the bustle of a commercial hub with the subtropical charms of a winter resort. The city is the Tampa Bay Area’s cultural center as well, with a buzzy restaurant scene, art museums, and theaters. As you’d expect, given the winter and spring tourism, activities for visitors with relaxation on the brain are plentiful. But Tampa is a locals’ town, too, as you’ll discover by meandering around the hip neighborhoods of Seminole and Hyde Park or joining the joggers on the 2.6-mile Riverwalk, which cuts through the heart of town. Many visitors spend at least one day beach-hopping on the Gulf Coast, migrating from Clearwater Beach to Indian Rocks Beach and Treasure Island.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Tampa
Although locals may sense more subtle shifts in the weather, there are two major seasons in Tampa: a hot, rainy summer and a perfectly pleasant fall, winter, and spring. From June to October, the temperatures peak in the 90s Fahrenheit during the day and cool to the 70s at night, which isn’t very cool at all. Thunderstorms are frequent, tropical storms regularly pass through the area, and the humidity skyrockets.
From November through May, the heat settles down into more comfortable ranges — 60s and 70s Fahrenheit — and the rains come infrequently. You’ll want to pack a light jacket for the evenings, and perhaps a few sweaters in case December and January see one of their occasional cold snaps, but there’s a reason many people book vacation rentals for the winter here.
Top things to do in Tampa
Ybor City
A historic Cuban American enclave that is now the center of LGBTQ+ life in Tampa, Ybor City blends the old and the new in colorful and charming ways. You can take a cigar tour to learn more about the neighborhood’s best-known industry, eat at least one of the Cuban sandwiches that may have originated here (Miami begs to differ, naturally), and explore the area’s abundant nightlife.
Clearwater Beach
Just 35 minutes west of Tampa, you’ll find a chain of slender barrier islands and some of the Gulf of Mexico’s most stunning beaches. Clearwater Beach offers the white sands and warm waters you’d hope for, along with restaurants, bars, and tourist services. Just north of Clearwater is the undeveloped Caladesi Island State Park, where you can steer a kayak through the mangroves or wander along nature trails.
Florida Museum of the Photographic Arts
One of the state’s cultural capitals, Tampa does not lack for great museums, including the Tampa Museum of Art and the Tampa Contemporary Art Museum. The Florida Museum of the Photographic Arts occupies two floors of the building known as the Cube, a work of art in and of itself. Its permanent collection and temporary exhibits shine a light on photographers of the last five decades, from the internationally known to up-and-coming local artists.
