About this property

The Perch on the River-Amazing River & Downtown Views in the heart of old Tampa

Looking for a getaway from it all but still in the heart of all the action? Look no further!

The Perch on the Hillsborough River is a large studio apartment with a HUGE balcony on the second floor of a two story duplex house that overlooks the Hillsborough River. You are up among the trees overlooking the beautiful Hillsborough River and downtown Tampa.

Our amazing balcony with views of downtown Tampa and the Hillsborough River is the perfect place to unwind and relax.
The apartment features a fully stocked kitchen, full bathroom, queen size bed and a living area with sofa that can turn into a twin bed. For longer stays, there is a washer and dryer for guest use.

A few doors down you will find Rick's on the River marina, a great marina and restaurant! A 5 min drive across the river is the Armature works Pirate Water Taxi stop.....You’ll love all the great restaurants, nightlife, museums and parks that are all a beautiful boat ride away!

The house sits on a compound on the river that is shared with two other vacation rentals ( property ID # 801363 and property ID # 642448). All three houses can be rented together if you have a large group of 10 people.

Each vacation rental has its own entrance and is completely private, there is a shared private parking lot with plenty of room for your cars.

The studio is in the center of everything Tampa has to offer- downtown Tampa,Ybor City, Channelside, Amalie Arena, the Tampa Convention Center, South Tampa, Busch Gardens, and Raymond James Stadium are all a 10 min drive from the house. Want a day trip to our world famous Gulf beaches? 45 minutes from the house are award winning beaches such as Ft Desoto Beach and Clearwater Beach.

The apartment also has a large screen smart tv so you can directly access your Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu accounts. It also has WIFI and basic cable. We have tried to think of every amenity from home to have while you are on vacation!

Beautiful view & very close to everything!!
My boyfriend & I had a wonderful time staying here, it was the perfect amount of space for the two of us. The view is beautiful & we enjoyed sitting outside everyday watching all the boats go by! Lauren was very friendly & even was nice enough to say we could check in earlier if we liked since the rental was already ready for us. The neighborhood right by the rental is not the best but the property is gated so we still felt very safe staying there. It was also very close to downtown, Armature Works, the airport, among many other fun places to visit in the area which was great!

Beautiful
Beautiful little spot! Has a wonderful view from the porch! Easy to get in and out with good parking. The bed is a little old but the room made up for it! We absolutely enjoyed feeding the ducks and seeing all kinds of birds! We will be staying again.
