Fantastic Stay at Riverside Casita
We had a wonderful experience staying here! The size is perfect for 2 or 3 people. Location is almost perfect for a visit to Tampa as you are fairly central to everything. The pool was also a great benefit after a long hot day! Excellent communication from Heather throughout our stay as well.

Perfect location for my quick trip to Tampa
I stayed at the casita during a quick trip to Tampa for my son’s cross country meet and it was wonderful. It was close to downtown Tampa. I felt very safe there (my husband ended up not able to join me because of a work trip) and Heather was a great hostess. The backyard was beautiful! The casita was very comfortable and quiet. I couldn’t have asked for a better spot.

Wonderful surprise
We arrived at the "casita" after nine pm. We opened the gate to find the prettiest little pool area and place to stay. What a wonderful surprise ! Warm, twinkling lights amid florida foliage created such a welcoming atmosphere. We felt at home immediately. Heather and Tim are terrific hosts. They went above and beyond anything that was asked of them. Everything was clean and neat. A perfect size for the two of us. If we come back this way,this is where we'll stay.

Mini oasis for remote work
Spent a few days to work remotely in a relaxing environment. Mornings by the pool, the day spent exploring Ybor City and the beaches, late evenings in the hot tub. A great location close to Ybor City and in proximity to major highways for exploring the outskirts of the Tampa Bag area. A welcoming community, owner included!

Perfect place close to downtown
We spent a long weekend in May and was the perfect place! Heather was so easy to work with and casita was the perfect size for a couple. The pool and backyard was a nice place to relax and unwind. I would definitely recommend this rental and will rebook of we come back down to Tampa.

We stayed 3 nights in the beautiful little guest house. It was so close to everything including downtown. We loved the access to the pool and dock on the river. The sunsets from the dock were amazing. Heather was an amazing host and responded very quickly!

Backyard Oasis
We wanted to stay in Riverside Heights for a few nights to be near family who had just moved to the area and this was the perfect spot. Heather was a wonderful host and answered all of our inquiries about local spots, which was very helpful as this was our first visit to the area. We will be back.The studio unit was clean, private, and comfortable, as shown in the pictures. We enjoyed sitting at the end of the dock on the river in the evening- pretty spot!
