About this house rental

Welcome to the Bungalow on Hillsborough River! Make our house your home and escape to the Bungalow River House to relax, unwind and recharge.

The Hillsborough River has a wonderful community of birds, fish, manatees, dolphins, and boaters and you can take it all in from your private patio overlooking the river. Bring your kayak or canoe for direct access to the river. Paddle down to Rick's on the River, Ulele Restaurant or Downtown Tampa.

One of the best ways to see the river is by hopping on the Pirate Water Taxi that picks up at Armature Works, a 5 min drive from the house... you can hop on and off at various stops along the Tampa Riverwalk like Ulele, the Sail Pavilion, and Curtis Hixon Park, all while taking in the beautiful river and downtown views.

The house can accommodate a group of 4 guests comfortably. You have the entire downstairs of a 2 story duplex as your own apartment.
The spacious bedroom has a King size bed, double closets and a stackable washer and dryer.
In the living room, you will enjoy water views from the window as you unwind or watch TV. Additional guests can sleep on the Queen sleeper sofa.
The house has WIFI and a smart tv so you may log into your personal Netflix or Amazon accounts.
You will spend most of your time on our covered open air patio that overlooks the Hillsborough River. Enjoy all your meals outside at the table or large bar that overlooks the water. Sit on the bench of the small dock that has steps right down into the water so you can bring your kayak or canoe.
Private gated parking lot for your cars- no extra charge!
Have an even bigger group than 4 people? Combine this house with our other " the Boathouse on the Hillsborough River" listing vrbo# 642448 or the upstairs apartment listing #991365 to accommodate a group of 9-10 people!! This house is pictured in the background of our pictures.

The river view was amazing! Having a quiet covered patio where we could enjoy a glass of wine was perfect! The neighborhood is undergoing a lot of development but there was no issue with noise. Rick's on the River was 2 min by car and they have excellent food that is very reasonably priced considering the ambiance of being on the water.Our communication with the host was fast and we would love to stay at her property again.

As soon as we walked inside the smell of mustiness hit us. We did not have time to make other arrangements so we stayed the two booked nights. I know there was water damage from the recent hurricane, however, it was not noticeable except for the smell. When I went home my suitcase reeked of odor. I immediately washed EVERYTHING. I put on my CPAP machine that evening and IT reeked. I had to throw away the tubing and face mask as well as change the filter and wash the water chamber. It took three nights to get the smell out. Mostly the rental was OK. The bed was comfortable and there were two TVs with Netflix which we appreciated. When I turned on the shower water forcefully spewed from the shower head. I cleaned it up from the floor and proceeded to shower the way it was. I’m curious how that was missed when the shower was cleaned before our arrival. I reported it for repair. We won’t be returning to that unit.
