Cozy Canal Hideway

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Set right alongside Woods Creek in beautiful Tampa, this bright and summery vacation rental is ideal for a family vacation or a fun-filled couples retreat. Outside, enjoy a covered lanai with a private pool, table for four, gas grill, and wall-mounted TV, all overlooking the dock and the adjacent waterway. A majestic mother oak on the east side of the property provides cool lazy mornings with a feeling of old Florida. In the mornings, you can watch egrets, cormorants, and our very own Oscar the Osprey feed from the shady quiet comfort of the dock's living space. If you're lucky you will see manatees and dolphins. Afternoons become sunfilled and allow for poolside enjoyment. You can barbecue, soak up some rays from the large dock, or go for a kayak with several suggested voyages ranging in length and difficulty. Nearby creeks and bayous provide mangrove-filled Florida wilderness, you won't even know you are only six miles from the airport! Amazing Florida sunsets can be viewed down the canal from the dock and the caged-in lanai allows for all-hour enjoyment of beautiful Florida outdoors.

Inside, prepare full meals in the well-equipped, galley kitchen, and then dine at the adjacent table for six. The spacious and sunlit living area with water views includes a plush sectional sofa, an additional table for six for entertaining or game nights, and a large TV for streaming your favorite channels. Additional amenities at this home include a private washer/dryer, walk-in closet, and cooling central air conditioning.

Family and friends get away
It would’ve been absolutely perfect. Had the pool been heated? We struggled with the TV and getting the hot water the first night had we have just known we needed to let the showers run and run and run. It would’ve been a whole lot better.

Nice stay in older home but wasn’t great
The house is an older blue collar home in a blue collar neighborhood that is very quiet and was what we were expecting from property description. Overall we enjoyed our stay but the house is more worn than current photos and there was some fuzzy hairballs in bedroom floor. Also the pool and hot tub were green so we couldn’t use them. The hot water in master never got really hot just warm. We did not escalate to property manager, we were only there for the weekend and just ignored it. There were a lot of checkout expectations by property management which we followed just wound’ve liked a heads up before booking. The dock was nice and furniture very comfortable. Not a bad stay if you are looking for a comfortable place to lay your head and make coffee in the morning.

Nice house with few issues
Overall the house was nice and as expected. It was a bit dated in parts but nothing that made the stay bad. We did have a beeping noise that went off every 15 min. I chatted with property manager about it and they gave a few ideas but none were it so we had to suffer through it. The living room TV wouldn’t log in so we didn’t have that. Also the kayaks were not on the dock, they were beside the house so we didn’t get to use since we didn’t want to go through trouble of lugging down trying to get off the dock into water and then back out. The beds were comfy, has everything we expected and the area was very nice !

Great layout and space. Needs improvement.
Love the layout of house. Spacious living area. and dining area. Nice pool and bonus dock with paddle boat was a plus. Sunset out by the dock was nice and breezy. Downside to rental was that dishes/utensils/pots/pans were not clean. Had to wash everything prior to use due to food residue from previous user. If you plan you cook, I recommend getting essentials before coming. Only thing available in pantry was black pepper.

Left after one night
Bad experience. Broken garbage laying around the pool. Pool is dirty and ice cold. We could have dealt with that. We could not deal with the A/C not working in Florida. I gave them 24 hours to get it fixed. They did not so we had to leave and find a hotel room for the next 3 nights. I’m expecting a refund but have not received yet.

Great location but poor condition
House was in a great location to attractions and beaches but house is really run down and many things don't work. Has a pool but unheated and very cold due to trees. Needs updating badly.

Nice place to stay
This was a nice place to stay in nice neighborhood. The screen around pool definitely needs some work... Watched a squirrel come on in for drink from pool. 😅 I didn't think the pool being unheated would be as cool as it was in winter months so didn't get to use that The location is close to lots of food and shopping. The house could use some better seating by TV as the couch is low and hard for elderly mother had trouble getting up. Also we stayed mid Feb. and still had Christmas stuff outside. House number is hard to see from street can't see unless you pull in drive and painted white on light color house.

Dirty house with inaccurate pictures
Dirty dishes in the cabinets. Not properly stocked. Pool had trash it it, broken tiles around the entire pool. Pool enclosures had holes in it allowing debris and a snake inside the enclosure. Property manager did nothing and only apologized for the wild life. They had lawn care during our stay and was cutting down trees around the pool with us in the pool enjoying family time. Save your money and don’t rent here!!!
