Stunning Bay Views from Your Reading Nook
VRC20-000177
Your waterfront sanctuary with Tampa Bay at your doorstep. Westbay Cove 231 is a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath bay-front escape where every window frames water, every sunrise starts your day, and a spectacular sun room becomes your favorite place on earth. With 1,275 square feet of coastal style, modern updates, and direct views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, this isn't just a rental—it's where island life makes sense.
The Sun Room (Your New Obsession) This is the magic. A 19'x10' bay-windowed retreat with wraparound views of Tampa Bay, built-in bookshelf seating, and enough natural light to power a month of inspiration. Morning coffee watching pelicans dive. Afternoon reading with the Skyway Bridge glowing in the distance. Evening wine as sailboats drift past. The primary bedroom opens directly into this space—you'll literally wake up to water views. Remote workers: this is your video call background that makes colleagues jealous.
Waterfront Views to Savor Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout bring Tampa Bay inside. Watch dolphins, manatees, and wading birds from your living room. The waterfront lawn extends to the bay's edge where mangrove-lined shoreline creates natural habitat for incredible wildlife viewing. Settle into Adirondack chairs and watch the show—all the beauty of waterfront living, designed for viewing from the comfort of dry land.
Designer Kitchen & Living Stunning kitchen renovation: white shaker cabinets, black granite counters, eye-catching geometric fish-scale backsplash that photographs like art. Stainless appliances, peninsula seating, everything you need for extended-stay cooking. Open living and dining flow naturally, anchored by soft coastal blue walls and curated furnishings. Modern LVP flooring throughout. This isn't cookie-cutter rental décor—someone actually designed this space.
Sleeping & Working Arrangements Sleeps 4. Primary bedroom: King bed, direct sun room access (wake up to bay views!), ensuite bathroom, generous storage. Guest bedroom: Queen bed, dedicated workspace with desk and office chair, large closet, hall bathroom. Both bedrooms positioned for privacy and quiet. Screened porch with additional seating and beach gear storage closet stocked with chairs, umbrellas, and toys.
Location That Delivers Five-minute walk to Manatee Public Beach—900+ feet of lifeguarded shoreline, Anna Maria Island Beach Café, full amenities. Publix and CVS directly across Manatee Avenue. Free island trolley access. Area hospitals nearby for traveling healthcare professionals. The best combination: waterfront tranquility with walkable convenience.
Extended Stay Essentials In-unit washer/dryer in dedicated laundry room. High-speed WiFi (perfect for remote work). Cable TV. Two heated community pools (saltwater and chlorinated). Tennis court. Recently renovated exterior. Two parking spaces. Everything works, everything's thoughtfully maintained, everything's ready.
Perfect For Remote workers craving inspiring surroundings. Nature lovers who want front-row seats to Tampa Bay wildlife. Snowbirds seeking something special. Traveling nurses on 13-week contracts. Photographers chasing sunrise gold hour. Anyone who's dreamed of living on the water. Month-long stays reveal why guests call this their "happy place."
The Honest Truth This is premium bay-front living with designer touches, spectacular views, and that sun room you'll never want to leave. The waterfront location, thoughtful updates, and natural beauty create something rare. This is the island life you've been looking for.
