2BR Cottage In Heart of Tampa's Trendy Urban Core

Two bedroom cottage-style guest house located in the center of one of Tampa's trendiest neighborhoods - Tampa Heights.
The cottage is located behind a main house on the property and includes full kitchen with cookware, utensils, plates/bowls/glasses, coffee maker, microwave, iron/board, smart T.V with Netflix, and WiFi.

The space
Our guest house is approximately 650 sq. ft. consisting of two bedrooms, one with a King size bed, and the second with a full size bed.

The location is literally minutes away from downtown Tampa, Raymond James stadium, Bush Gardens, Ybor City, Tampa's Channel District, and tons of trendy dining, bars, and shops. We're about 45 minutes drive to the Gulf beaches and 15 minutes from Tampa International airport.

There's a park directly across the street from the property with a playground, basketball courts, and softball fields.

Guest access
Guests enter via the double chain link fence on the North side of the main house. There's a pathway leading back to the private cottage.

Other things to note
-Our guest house is located in the back of the main house across the large back yard. Guests access the cottage via a side gate though to the back yard.
-Our strict no pets policy is due to a family member who stays with us frequently, who has severe and sensitive allergy to pet dander. Thanks for understanding.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of Armature Works. The vacation home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, living room, and fenced yard
  • Free WiFi
  • Just a 5-minute drive from Tampa Riverwalk and 5 minutes from Raymond James Stadium

NOT AS PICTURED IN THE LISTING

The listing and pictures are not current. If you have the opportunity to visit before renting, please do so. The pretty red paint on the outside of the cottage is not dull and peeling, the outside walkway is cracked and unsafe. The couch and rug in the living room have been switched out for an older and much saggy and dirty one. The pots and pans are not fit for use. If you decide to stay, bring your own. The smoke detector was missing in the front bedroom and the other was disconnected. The refrigerator was moldy and rusty, the microwave was rusted, the toaster was greasy and so was the blender. The floors were grittiy and the broom tattered and old. There was mold on the kitchen sink behind the faucet. The oven was dirty. There was some type of leafy substance left behind in the wine cabinet by the front door. The chairs covers at the dining room table were stained and dusty. The coffee table and all of the night stands in the bedrooms were water damaged. There was a musty weird smell inside with an failed attempt to cover up using Fabuloso. Their was hair in the front bed when the covers were pulled back. The white curtains had brown stains on them. The bathtub had mold in the grout. The outside patio/carport was super dirty and moldy and all of the bricks were falling down or caving in, there is a large hole in the patio area that with a piece of rotting wood over it. Neighorhood felt a little unsettling. I have tons of pictures. Happy to share form 3-14-2025.

Adequate for the need but less than ideal

I stayed at this VRBO rental with my family and want to provide an honest review. The rental is fairly priced compared to others in the area. It’s located centrally, making it convenient for activities around Tampa. However, the neighborhood is definitely unsettling. It is quiet but in a lower-income area. The rental is accessed through a side gate. It is about 300 feet to the front door over uneven stepping stones with the exterior of the cottage being a bit rundown. We had issues with getting the door code but the owner was quick and helpful.On entering, there is a musty smell, likely from moisture or mold, which did improve with airing out. The interior was neat with basic appliances and a new thermostat system. The living area had a comfortable couch and TV. The floor and walls seemed freshly updated. The first room, w/ queen bed, was very low to the ground which was ok for my kids. However, the king bed in the master was uncomfortable, with a sagging mattress and stained sheets. The frame around it is falling apart. The outside lights stayed on all night, which disturbed sleep. The bathroom was clean and functional. The toilet required a long hold to flush. No mirror in the master but 2 in the bathroom.Despite these issues, we were able to enjoy our stay. The biggest drawbacks were the smell, the poor condition of the king bed, and the neighborhood, while the benefits included low cost and a great location. Would I stay again? Maybe, but I’d consider the drawbacks.

The location of the property in proximity to everything was outstanding. The unit was clean and what was expected. We were able to check in ahead of the 3pm time with an early flight arrival. Much appreciated. All in all a great little place to stay in a quiet neighborhood.

Ghetto place

I will NEVER, NEVER, and recommend staying in this place, no pictures in fronts of this place, (front place is a ghetto with no parking)the front door is in the back of the owner house. Be careful when you're rented.

Great setup!

We stayed a couple of days in the cottage to see a game at Raymond James stadium. Great location. Went out to eat a few times around the armature works area which was minutes away. Uber to the game was quick and easy. Place was nice and private, own entrance, own parking spot, everything was clean and in order. Communication with the renter was great. Would recommend!
