Private Pool + Guesthouse & Arcade | Tampa | House in Tampa

The backyard may become your favorite Tampa destination: swim in the private saltwater pool, stretch out beneath the gazebo, then let the fire table glow while dinner sizzles on the grill. This updated historic home gives up to eight guests a leafy, resort-like place to reconnect, with downtown Tampa, Armature Works, the Riverwalk, and Busch Gardens within easy reach.
Start the morning with coffee in the sunroom before settling into a pool lounger or the shaded outdoor sectional. After a day around the city, cool off with a swim, start a cornhole match, or challenge the group on the 60-game retro arcade table. When everyone is ready to slow down, gather for dinner indoors or outside beneath the string lights. The detached guesthouse gives another couple, a friend, or early sleepers their own quiet corner without separating them from the fun.
The home sleeps eight across four bedrooms, five beds, and three bathrooms. On the main floor, a king suite includes a private bathroom, while a queen bedroom sits near a second full bath. Upstairs, two twin beds share the level with the arcade area. The detached guesthouse adds another bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette. Open living and dining spaces in the main house keep the group connected, and the kitchen makes everything from quick breakfasts to family-style dinners easy.
Outside, the private pool anchors a backyard designed for full vacation days at home. Cushioned gazebo seating, a fire table, grill, turf, and cornhole create room to swim, play, dine, and linger. Whether you are planning a family vacation, a Busch Gardens weekend, or a group stay near downtown Tampa, this home balances shared gathering space with the privacy everyone appreciates.
