About this house rental
Welcome to your own private oasis on the Hillsborough River with breathtaking water and downtown Tampa views. Relax on your own private dock with a cocktail while you wave to passing boaters and kayakers and enjoy seeing all the wildlife that calls the river home.
Hop on the Pirate Water Taxi that picks up at Armature Works ( 5 min drive from the house) and take a cruise down river to the Tampa Riverwalk in downtown Tampa, where you can hop on/off to enjoy some of Tampa’s best restaurants, nightlife, museums and parks!
The boathouse has 1 large bedroom with a King size bed and en suite bathroom with shower.
There is an additional half bathroom as well and a stacked washer and dryer.
The kitchen/living room combo room has breathtaking views of downtown Tampa and the river.
The house was built over 50 years ago and has all the charm of an old Florida house with all the modern amenities you can expect from a vacation rental. You will spend most of your time sitting out on the dock, watching the passing boaters, wildlife and the beautiful view of downtown Tampa. There is nothing fancy about the boathouse, but it has what we all need -a comfy bed, fast WIFI and a comfortable and clean space to relax and get away from it all!
The living room has a sectional couch that transforms into a full size bed that will accommodate another couple or additional children.
The house also has it's own private gated parking lot for your vehicle.
Have a larger group? Combine the boathouse with the Bungalow, listing # 801363 and 991365

Had a wonderful time at a cozy little river house. Adored the views and the ‘on-the-water’ experience.

PROSNice viewClose to attractionsCONS - SafetyProperty is in an “up & coming” neighborhood - did not feel safe and would not walk anywhere at night.Property has serious structural issues. Floors sloped as if you are in a funhouse. Center of property (kitchen/LR) is sinking/needs support. Sliding glass door locks do not work, secured with a broomstick/piece of wood. One sliding glass door is so off from sinking that there is a huge gap at bottom.Anchor light on the LR wall was broke, had missing bulbs & cord was fried.Dock slopes in towards the house, with no railings. All furniture on dock is rusty.Cons - CleanlinessHeavy musty smell throughout the property & had to blast the A/C the whole time to alleviate smell. Mildew/mold stains on master bath ceiling. Pics of property showed clawfoot tub/shower, and this property had a walk-in shower. Toiletries supplied were previously used/half full.Property was not cleaned sufficiently for guests. WE scrubbed the stove top upon arrival as it had some greasy slimy stuff on it/not clean at all.Strong fish odor in refrigerator & freezer. Floors in kitchen, LR, & BR had large dust bunnies everywhere.1 outdoor trashcan filled with fish garbage that smelled so awful that the workers didn’t even take on trash day.If we had the time to search for another property once we arrived, we would not have stayed here. But we had a packed schedule and made the most of it.
