Bayside Bar Pool Bums
The property is part private condos and hotel. It's nestled between some larger and newer properties and near a huge parking garage right on the Tampa Bay. We were most pleased with the feeling of safety, the small private beach, and definitely the pool and bar/restaurant. We had rented a Cadillac for our 3 1/2 day trip but only left the property for a short visit to a local market (for essentials like snacks, toiletries, and beverages) and to a graduation at a local college--which was the purpose of our trip. We spent most of our time in the pool area. The water was the perfect temperature, the lounge chairs were comfy, and the food and drinks were spectacular. The nachos! Wow. Beware of the lurking crows who will swoop down and steal your food if you're not careful. There was always good reggae music playing, and on Friday, a live one-man band in the evening. The condo itself was small but pleasant. It felt like old Florida to me but in a good way. The updates were nice enough. We didn't really spend much time inside...when we did, we were on the patio which overlooked the Bay. The owner, Andrea, was excellent communicating, even helping us find restaurants and a market.
