Spacious Charming Hyde Park Cottage - Walk Everywhere!

Location, location, location! Welcome to our Historic Hyde Park cottage blocks from Bayshore, steps to Bern’s Steakhouse, and a short walk to Hyde Park Village and numerous restaurants and watering holes!!! This charming 2/1 (queen/twin), second story carriage house is in the heart of Historic Hyde Park and SoHo, and is a perfect getaway for the vacationer, remote worker/professional, Tampa Convention Center visitors (2 miles/easy Uber), MacDill AFB visitors, parent of local college kids, or locals who want a “staycation” in the city.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR DATES AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE! We may have some flexibility in our calendar.

The 850sf cottage is on the 2nd floor above the garage in a detached building from the main house. There is a flight of stairs behind the outside door, and another lockable door at the top of the stairs. We are open to longer term stays; please inquire via the message string. Please ask about amenities in our well-equipped kitchen. The master bedroom enjoys an upgraded Nectar queen mattress. Enjoy the plush Turkish cotton bath towels!

The cottage has a private entrance, well-equipped kitchen, full-size fridge, washer/dryer, dishwasher, central heat and air, fast WiFi with enhanced security with automatic VPN, hardwood floors throughout, new living room furniture, a smart TV, assortment of board games for rainy days, plenty of storage/countertop space, and off street parking. The cottage has two bedrooms with a queen in the master, and a twin bed with a desk and reading chair in the small bedroom. We provide YouTube TV (cable substitute), and all the other popular streaming services are available with your logon credentials. Don’t forget to log out before you leave! In addition, the Samsung TV has numerous viewing options.

Off-street parking is generally available in the driveway as the owner uses the rear garage door alley entrance for vehicle access; the owner will advise on the message string should he need the driveway during your stay. A BBQ grill is available for guest use on the back patio; directions are included in the House Manual. Guests are welcome to use the outdoor furniture on the back porch of the house.

We are close to the Tampa Convention Center, MidFlorida Amphitheater, Amalie Arena, Raymond James Stadium, Armiture Works/The Heights Public Market, downtown, Tampa International Airport, Ybor City, Tampa’s downtown Riverwalk, Hyde Park Village, and MacDill AFB.

This place is a real gem. Perfect for my wife and I. Our intent was to stay and visit our grandson, who lived 8 minutes from us. We cooked a few home grown meals while there and kitchen was well stocked. it was clean, cozy and comfortable. I’m sure his mom and dad will be inquiring about this place for future visits. The owner was super friendly and answered all our inquiries quickly. You can’t go wrong with his place.

UT College move in. Weekend stay.

This was the very first rental property we stayed at when we first came to Tampa 2 years ago to move our daughter into U.T. and it set the standard for us. It is a beautiful home in a safe, quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Walking distance to Bayshore Rd and several fine restaurants nearby. University of Tampa is only a few minutes away. I highly recommend this property. Devin and Pam are great hosts.

Perfection

Our first stay in the area since our son moved down to Tampa. So clean, comfortable beds, amenities are top level.. and we easily walked around the corner and had a choice of restaurants. I worked out daily and felt save on the sidewalks at all times. I cannot say enough about this place and the owners. We will be back!

Devin and Pam’s apartment is in beautiful Hyde Parkand is within walking distance to several nice restaurants. It was very close to the medical facility that we needed to go to.
