Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
UnderOaks is an amazing open floor plan (no closed off bedroom) of approximately 375 sf. The unit used to be a detached garage and has now been turned into a standalone guest house. It has a queen size bed, couch, full kitchen (no oven) and full bathroom. I live onsite and this is my only bnb and all work was complleted by me. Only a 3 min from Armature Works (start of Riverwalk); 8 min to downtown/convention center, and 10 min to Tampa International Airport. Terrific location!

The space
Are you the purist that enjoys the original idea behind Airbnb — the non-commercial lodging location at a private home? Have you ever stayed at an Airbnb that is full of laminated rules on the walls, resembles a motel and is void of character and creativity? Guests enjoy my place in that it is not one of the many out there owned by a property management company. I live onsite, I take pride in my guesthouse, and I am typically available should you need anything.

Over a year in the making this project has been a labor of love. My home is located in the “Cuban” district of Tampa, per se. My neighborhood housed many of the cigar factory owners, and my home, a 1922 bungalow made of brick, is very rare because of the construction materials. UnderOaks is the original garage to my home, and converted with great detail. I salvaged some materials from the garage (look at ceiling for a few of the original heart pine roof deck boards). The bathroom sink is an early 50’s Crane, and the polished concrete floors reveal an aggregate mix of shell and rock.

Guest access
You will have your own private entrance to UnderOaks. Guests will have access to the back of my house for laundry — please just give me a heads up.

Other things to note
I do allow small dogs. Please check the pet fee option when booking!

My work: Tampa Water Limo
I spend too much time: On the water!
I live on the same property as Underoaks and love the area. It is a 10 minute walk to the Riverwalk, a 5 min drive to Raymond James, and 10 minutes to TPA. In addition to the Airbnb, I am a 100 ton USCG certified Captain and own Tampa Water Limo, a high-end luxury picnic boat that is the perfect addition to your trip. I strive to keep the Airbnb as traditional as possible — like they used to be — not owned by a corporation or realtor!
