About this property

Beach happy Geataway!

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, in the Southshore area of Tampa Bay, this waterfront inn boasts beautiful views, a restaurant serving American-Caribbean fare and two pools to splash and swim in. Sunsets over the water are spectacular. Take them in by the Tiki bar with live music, from the pier, or at the onsite restaurant, Sunset Grill. You might even catch sight of a dolphin or manatee. This place is perfectly located between Tampa and Sarasota right on Tampa Bay. You'll enjoy access to a number of amenities including tennis courts, beach volleyball, 3 pools, 2 Jacuzzis, a Tiki Bar and more when you stay here! For an additional fee guests can access watersports activities, bike rentals. Hooks Restaurant offers poolside snacks, drinks and cocktails until 9:00PM. Go for a stroll through the tropical gardens or take a nap on the resort's private beach. If water sports are your thing, the resort offers a number of activities on-site including guided jet ski tours, kayaks, and paddle boating. After lounging at the beach, retreat to your air-conditioned LIVING SPACE. Curl up on the bed and enjoy your favorite shows on cable TV. In the early evening, step out onto the pier and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful sunset. You can easily connect with friends and family back home, courtesy of the complimentary Wi-Fi.
If you feel like venturing away from the resort, we suggest day trips to visit The Dali Museum, Busch Gardens, the Tampa Zoo, the Florida Aquarium, or The Alley, a bowling alley and arcade. If you want to dance the night away, we are just 30 minutes from Ybor City nightlife and South Howard neighborhood in Tampa.
We also have children’s playground that is great for the little ones.
There's something here for everyone!
I look forward to booking with you and hope you enjoy your beach home away from home!
A Smart TV comes with cable channels, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a kitchen, and a washing machine. Housekeeping is available on request.
