About this property
Cottage on the Bay – Pool Home
Summary:
Cottage on the Bay is a single-level pool home in Tampa, set up for families and small groups who want sunshine and a little space of their own. It's about 21 minutes from Tampa International Airport and within easy reach of downtown, Bayshore Boulevard, Hyde Park Village, and the Gulf Coast beaches. Spend mornings exploring the city or the shoreline and save the afternoons for cooling off back at the house.
The Space:
As soon as you arrive, drop your bags and head straight for the private pool. Let the kids make the first splash while the adults relax in the comfortable outdoor seating, then fire up the BBQ grill when it’s time for dinner.
Inside, the bright, open living space is designed for everyone to come together. Sink into the large sectional sofa for a movie night on the smart TV, or gather in the kitchen for coffee and conversation before starting the day. The fully equipped kitchen comes stocked with cookware, a dishwasher, and a Keurig, making everything from quick breakfasts to family dinners easy and convenient.
With counter seating for six, the kitchen keeps the cook right in the middle of the conversation and doubles as the perfect spot for morning coffee or a casual breakfast.
Whatever brings you to Tampa, Cottage on the Bay offers the space, comfort, and easygoing atmosphere you need to relax, reconnect, and enjoy your time together.
