Riverfront Escape | Pool/Spa, Fire Pit & Games

Summary:

“I would 100% recommend this home to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and truly five-star stay. We would absolutely stay here again!” -Meredith



Riverbend Escape is a luxury riverfront oasis designed to create remarkable memories. From floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water to evenings around the sandy beach firepit under the stars, every moment invites you to slow down and enjoy Tampa’s serene riverfront lifestyle.



The Space:

Luxe Legacy Vacations welcomes you to Riverbend Escape, a modern riverfront sanctuary nestled along the Hillsborough River. Every element of this luxurious retreat has been thoughtfully designed for connection, relaxation, and memorable moments together.



Tucked along a quiet neighborhood street just minutes from Downtown Tampa, the home offers the best of both worlds: convenient access to the city while surrounded by nature and tranquility.



IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTE: This home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood and is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing, respectful stay.



Quiet hours are strictly observed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM in accordance with City of Tampa regulations. During these hours, outdoor music, outdoor TV use, loud voices, pool/hot tub activity, patio activity, and outdoor gathering activity must stop and be moved indoors.



Daytime activity must also remain respectful. Loud outdoor gatherings, drinking games, yelling, amplified music, DJs, outdoor TV use at disruptive levels, or other party-style activity are not permitted at any time.



If your trip plans involve a party, loud celebration, late-night gathering, or high-energy outdoor event, this home will not be a good fit. We use neighborhood-friendly noise monitoring devices that measure volume levels only and do not record conversations.



We love hosting guests who will enjoy the home while treating the property and neighborhood with care. If that sounds like your group, we would be happy to host you.



MAIN FLOOR:



Step inside to a spacious open-concept layout where the gourmet kitchen, dining area, and living room flow seamlessly together. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing breathtaking river views just beyond.



At the center of the space is the stunning kitchen, complete with a grand island, high-end appliances, and everything needed to prepare meals for your group. Whether you're brewing your morning coffee or preparing a full dinner, the kitchen is designed to make gathering easy and enjoyable.



Just beside the kitchen, the dining area provides a welcoming place for shared meals and conversation. The space then flows naturally into the comfortable living room, where plush seating and a large flat-screen TV create the perfect environment for relaxing with family and friends.



Just beyond the living room, the balcony offers a front-row seat to the river. With peaceful waterfront views and fresh Florida air, it’s the perfect place to start your mornings or unwind in the evenings.



“The home was beautiful and hands down the most well-stocked home I’ve ever stayed in, every little thing we could’ve needed was already thought of.” -Emily



OUTDOORS:



Descend to the home’s entertainment hub, where a spacious screened-in living area brings the outdoors in while maintaining the comfort of shade and breeze.



This inviting space features a dining table, grill, and comfortable lounge seating centered around a large flat-screen TV. A ping pong table invites friendly competition, while a full bathroom with shower provides convenient access for guests enjoying the space. The entertainment continues in the garage, where a private gym is equipped with free weights and exercise equipment. This area also includes an indoor putting green with surrounding bean bag seating.



Just beyond the entertainment hub is the resort-style pool area that feels like your own private retreat. The pool and attached hot tub are surrounded by swaying palms, plush loungers, and shaded seating overlooking the river.



Beyond the pool, a wide grassy backyard provides plenty of space to relax or enjoy outdoor games. A stone pathway winds through the grounds toward the sandy beach firepit along the Hillsborough River, where evenings unfold around the glow of the fire beneath the open sky.



“Extremely beautiful house, super clean, fully equipped for large families. We did enjoy the river view, garden, games and pool that we didn’t need to go anywhere else. Friendly and proactive host. We had a wonderful family get together for Christmas in this wonderful place. I fully recommend it.” -Blanca



BEDROOMS AND BATHS:



Each bedroom offers a comfortable retreat with soft bedding, thoughtful amenities, and ample storage so guests can fully settle in. With accommodations for up to 16 guests, the layout provides plenty of space to enjoy private downtime while still staying connected as a group.

We had such an amazing stay at Riverbend Escape! The place was incredibly spacious and perfect for our family. The kids couldn’t get enough of the ping pong table, and my wife absolutely loved relaxing in the hot tub. The location couldn’t be better—right on the water and just minutes from everything in downtown Tampa. It’s such a unique spot to be surrounded by nature while still in the heart of the city. We’d love to come back!
