Lovely stay in a beautiful oasis

We loved our stay at the riverside casita! We’re more outdoor people and the backyard was so comfortable and beautiful. Appreciated all of it, including the cute little dog that we fell in love with!

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.
