Come enjoy River and Downtown Views in the heart of Tampa!

Welcome to the Bungalow on Hillsborough River! Make our house your home and escape to the Bungalow River House to relax, unwind and recharge.

The Hillsborough River has a wonderful community of birds, fish, manatees, dolphins, and boaters and you can take it all in from your private patio overlooking the river. Bring your kayak or canoe for direct access to the river. Paddle down to Rick's on the River, Ulele Restaurant or Downtown Tampa.

One of the best ways to see the river is by hopping on the Pirate Water Taxi that picks up at Armature Works, a 5 min drive from the house... you can hop on and off at various stops along the Tampa Riverwalk like Ulele, the Sail Pavilion, and Curtis Hixon Park, all while taking in the beautiful river and downtown views.

The house can accommodate a group of 4 guests comfortably. You have the entire downstairs of a 2 story duplex as your own apartment.
The spacious bedroom has a King size bed, double closets and a stackable washer and dryer.
In the living room, you will enjoy water views from the window as you unwind or watch TV. Additional guests can sleep on the Queen sleeper sofa.
The house has WIFI and a smart tv so you may log into your personal Netflix or Amazon accounts.
You will spend most of your time on our covered open air patio that overlooks the Hillsborough River. Enjoy all your meals outside at the table or large bar that overlooks the water. Sit on the bench of the small dock that has steps right down into the water so you can bring your kayak or canoe.
Private gated parking lot for your cars- no extra charge!
Have an even bigger group than 4 people? Combine this house with our other " the Boathouse on the Hillsborough River" listing vrbo# 642448 or the upstairs apartment listing #991365 to accommodate a group of 9-10 people!! This house is pictured in the background of our pictures.

Great space and outdoor area

The property was clean and ready at our arrival. Being gated is nice, within 12-15 min to airport, international mall. The night view of the city was perfect.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay, and considering the fact that I’m 8 months pregnant the king size bed was a huge plus. It was nice being able to come “home” early and spend time by the water. We would definitely come back.
