"We stayed here for our annual Buccaneers game weekend and absolutely loved it. The home was beautiful and hands down the most well-stocked Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in, every little thing we could’ve needed was already thought of. The hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with, and our group (from the toddler all the way up to the “big kids”) had plenty to do and space to enjoy.
We’re already hoping to come back next year. Highly recommend" -Emily
IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTE:
Our home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood and is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing stay. In accordance with City of Tampa quiet hours, we strictly enforce Quiet Hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM — this means no outdoor noise, loud voices, or music during these hours.
If your trip planning involves late-night gatherings, loud parties, or amplified music, our home will not be a good fit. We use neighborhood-friendly noise monitoring devices (which measure volume levels, not conversations) and may terminate the stay without refund if the policy is violated.
We welcome respectful guests who will enjoy the property and treat our neighbors with consideration. If that sounds like you, we’d be delighted to host you.
Tucked along a serene neighborhood street just minutes from Downtown Tampa, this home offers the best of both worlds: convenient proximity to the city, with nature and tranquility at your doorstep.
"We recently stayed at "Riverbend Escape" and it was absolutely perfect for our group of eight. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The place was BRAND NEW, spotless and beautifully designed, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing and luxurious stay. What we loved the most was how luxurious and spacious everything was. There were plenty of spots for us to gather, hang out, and enjoy each other’s company, and the location made it easy to explore the area. The hosts were also fantastic—super responsive and helpful whenever we had a question. I have to say, this entire property was on a whole different level compared to every other Airbnb that we have come across. It was truly top-tier in every sense. The high-end finishes and attention to detail made it feel like a five-start resort rather than just a vacation rental. If you’re looking for a place that feels special and truly upscale, this is THE ONE!" - Peter & Ingrid
Step onto the main floor and you'll be welcomed by a spacious open concept plan where the living room, dining area, and gourmet kitchen come together in seamless harmony.
Comfortable seating and a large flat screen TV make the living room perfect for unwinding with family and friends, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking sights of the river just beyond. Take a front-row seat to the views as you step out onto the deck with your favorite beverage in hand.
Back inside, the dining area shines as a welcoming space for shared meals and conversation. And last but certainly not least, the kitchen stands at the center of it all, complete with a striking island, high-end appliances, and everything you need to concoct the feast of your dreams.
Venture downstairs and discover the home’s entertainment hub. This screened-in space brings the outdoors in while maintaining the comfort of shade and breeze. A full bathroom with Shower is conveniently available on this level.
Here, you can fire up the grill for a relaxed evening meal or gather around the dining table with friends and family. Afterwards, sink into cozy seating as the game plays on a massive flat-screen TV, with a conveniently located bathroom for easy access. Spark up a lighthearted rivalry by challenging your group to a match at the ping pong table, the perfect addition for hours of fun.
The excitement continues in the garage, where a private gym is outfitted with free weights and exercise equipment. This space also features an indoor putting green with surrounding bean bag seating, perfect for casual competition or lounging with friends.
And when you’re ready to take the fun outdoors, a collection of lawn favorites like Connect 4, corn hole, and ladder toss ensures there’s always something to keep everyone entertained.
OUTDOORS:
Stepping outside to the patio, you’ll find yourself in what feels like your own private resort. A luxurious pool with an attached hot tub sits at the center, framed by swaying palms and surrounded by plush chaise lounges and additional shaded seating.
Whether you’re basking in the Florida sun or enjoying a dip under the stars, this stunning poolside escape is designed for uncompromising relaxation.
Beyond the pool lies a wide, grassy backyard that opens endless opportunities for outdoor fun. From lawn games to a quiet morning flow, the space is yours to make your own.
A stone pathway winds through the grounds, guiding you toward the sandy beach fire pit where the magic happens. Let your evenings unfold around the glow of the fire, with the river as your backdrop and the starry sky above.
"My friends and I were in town for the lightning and Bucs games and this place was perfect. Great location close to downtown for the lightning game and the Bucs stadium. House and property was beautiful and we felt like we never had to leave because we had everything we needed there. Hoping stay again in the future!" - Nicholas
