1Bed 1Bath WATERFRONT APARTMENT near downtown

Summary:
Welcome to our humble little coastal style apartment that sits right on McKay Bay. This 1/1 is right across the street from the water, so bring your fishing poles! We tried to decorate our home with Santa Barbara California vibes with all white paint, and coastal decor. The home is just minutes from Downtown Tampa, Ybor City, Channelside, etc. You’ll be a quick Uber or drive to anything in the city, or you can just relax at the apartment and enjoy the water views.

The Space:
The space is coastal themed since its right across from McKay bay. If you’re into fishing, I’d bring your fishing poles to enjoy fishing just outside your door! Clean apartments with snowbound white paint and pops of wood and blue tones to help make you feel like you’re in Santa Barbara while enjoying the bay views.

Guest Access:
Guests will have full access to the 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment which has a full kitchen and a pull out queen couch. There’s also a desk set up for a workspace in the home and if needed.

The Neighborhood:
Palmetto Beach, Tampa sits right on McKay Bay and is a small waterfront hidden gem of Tampa. Even as a Tampa resident I lived here many years and didn’t know about Palmetto Beach. It’s on its own little peninsula just off of Downtown Tampa that not a lot of people know about. But in an exploding Real Estate market, lately it’s quickly been gaining steam and popularity for its beautiful water views. If you walk along the water it’ll eventually lead you to a large city park (Desoto Park) which has a gazebo, playgrounds, skatepark and a public swimming pool that is a few dollars to get in. Most likely when you tell other Tampa Residents you’re staying in Palmetto Beach they won’t even know where it is! We like to try to keep it Tampa’s best kept secret for as long as we can!

Getting Around:
Walkable to the water of course which is right across the street, and you can occasionally grab one of the city scooters to rent (if there are any close by). If not, car/Uber is the way to go. If you’re heading back from downtown it would be an easy scooter ride or Uber home if needed!

Other Things to Note:
This home sits just minutes to everything in and around Tampa. You’ll be less than 5 minutes drive to everything Downtown has to offer while being right on the water.

Interaction with Guests:
Availability via the Airbnb messenger 24/7! Just let me or my co-host know if you need anything!

Best host ever
The house we rented was not up to expectations, (not properly cleaned) and called the host who was excellent on getting everything taken care of. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Can’t say enough about how awesome the host was. Our stay turned out great after the host changed our location.

The view was pretty. The bed was comfortable. However, the property was in need of some fixes. One big problem was that the front door wouldn’t lock due to broken door hardware. I was able to fix it momentarily, but then the electronic key pad died. I contacted customer service, but didn’t get a resolution until the end of the day. This meant I had to leave the house unlocked all day. That took away from the peacefulness of our vacation.

This place is a scam!!
We have stayed in many VRBOs and places like this gives the whole business a bad name. We were planning on staying one night in Tampa to catch a Lightning game and we’re meeting family at 3p. I sent a message via the Vrbo messaging to ask for an early check in about 2p. I received what looked like a standard text with the check in info and instructions for the door. We parked in front and tried the door lock. It worked so we were just going to leave our things and hop in our waiting ride share. When we tried to lock the door it didn’t work. We tried several times and decided to just put our things back in our car and we left for our meeting. On the way I sent another vrbo message to tell the 'host' what happened and the guy was mad that we went in before 4. I explained I thought we could since he sent the instructions. And we were sorry we couldn’t get it locked and wouldn’t be back until late.. 9:30p . He was very unfriendly. Well we got back around 11p and we couldn’t get in. After several tries waiting in a questionable neighborhood, we got in our car. I sent a message to the host to tell him we couldn’t get in and were leaving since it is so late and not sure if he would even get the message til morning. He now says we couldn't get in because we illegally entered before 4p. He neglected to tell us he locked us out. Don’t bother with this place or this ‘host’!! BTW it looked like the door has been busted open. He's refusing to give us our $$ back.
