The Perch on the Hillsborough River is a large studio apartment with a HUGE balcony on the second floor of a two story duplex house that overlooks the Hillsborough River. You are up among the trees overlooking the beautiful Hillsborough River and downtown Tampa.

Our amazing balcony with views of downtown Tampa and the Hillsborough River is the perfect place to unwind and relax.

A few doors down you will find Rick's on the River marina, a great marina and restaurant! A 5 min drive across the river is the Armature works Pirate Water Taxi stop.....You’ll love all the great restaurants, nightlife, museums and parks that are all a beautiful boat ride away!

The house sits on a compound on the river that is shared with two other vacation rentals ( property ID # 801363 and property ID # 642448). All three houses can be rented together if you have a large group of 10 people.

Each vacation rental has its own entrance and is completely private, there is a shared private parking lot with plenty of room for your cars.

The studio is in the center of everything Tampa has to offer- downtown Tampa,Ybor City, Channelside, Amalie Arena, the Tampa Convention Center, South Tampa, Busch Gardens, and Raymond James Stadium are all a 10 min drive from the house. Want a day trip to our world famous Gulf beaches? 45 minutes from the house are award winning beaches such as Ft Desoto Beach and Clearwater Beach.

The kitchen was nice. Could use more eating utensils. Other than that, it was fully stocked for preparing meals.

We had a lovely stay while visiting our son over Christmas. The deck was our favorite part for morning coffee. Beautiful views of the city and we got to enjoy the Christmas lights of the across-the -river neighbors as a bonus.The kitchen pots and pans were a bit lax but we made do. We would definitely return here again!

The view was beautiful and the unit was decent. We ran out of toilet paper on day 2 so had to go buy some more. Bath towels are old, worn out and should be replaced. The people renting the other units on the property had a party. There was no parking available when I arrived and my sons car got blocked in from the party goers. Party was a little loud until midnight. Found a few ants in the bathroom and one on the bed on the day of our departure.
