Waterside Gardens: Featured on TV Show "StayCation"

Summary:
"My family and I spent the weekend at the property, it is a beautiful, cozy, comfortable house with everything you need to have an unforgettable stay!! My rating is a 10. Nothing is missing!!!" -Maria J

Waterside Gardens is a meticulously crafted riverfront oasis in the heart of Tampa. From the moment you enter to a wall of windows with a panoramic view of palms and water, to the moment you watch the sun set on your own private beach, you know this will be an extraordinary stay.

The Space:
Luxe Legacy Vacations is proud to present this pristine brand-new home nestled along the serene waterfront of Hillsborough river. Waterside Gardens is not just a destination—it's the epitome of a luxury getaway where every detail is curated for the highest comfort and style.

“What an incredible experience. I switched over to renting this house after having another booked & then seeing this one newly listed…what a great decision. My staff & I stayed here during a convention in town as a little staff retreat versus a hotel. This house is brand new & no expense was spared. Everything you could need, every detail you could think of, Daniel & his crew were on top of it. So many things to do here from the pool, hot tub, sitting on the dock, outdoor sitting areas, putting green, bocce, ping pong, foosball, infinity tabletop gaming system, and I’m sure I’m forgetting something. All the bedrooms are unique in their own way with their own personality. Double washer & double dryer came in clutch. Great kitchen island / dining area. Daniel is very quick to respond & was a great host to work with. You may be able to find something cheaper, but this house is worth every penny & you will not be disappointed!!!” - Zachary

Just minutes away from the bustling downtown and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Stadium, our home is a peaceful contrast on a quiet tree-lined street, just steps away from Reed Park’s nature paths.

"This is honestly the best I’ve rented. Daniel is an amazing host. The home is beautiful, plenty of activities and space. You don’t need to leave the house to have a great time. Wish we stayed longer!" -Niko

The resort-inspired deck is the place for morning coffee, or cocktails at 5, where you can always soak in a tropical breeze and picturesque view. The plush Living Room connects the deck with a stunning Dining Room area, complete with dramatic lighting and décor, and the open plan gourmet kitchen.

“We were in Tampa for event at the Sportsplex in Tampa Bay! Everyone loved the house. The first to arrive said it was absolutely stunning and by the time we all arrived we were stunned by the beauty of the view of the river, the beautifully landscaped yard. Every room was gorgeously decorated. The furniture was comfortable and inviting. Everyone slept well in the comfortable beds. You could sit for hours and watch the river, from the deck in fascination of the ducks, morning row teams, to water skiers. Our youngest guests for hours laughed and played games on a screen sunk in the coffee table that had tons of games on it. Our 15 yo boys loved the hot tub and pool, ping pong, and watching sports on the big screen down stairs. Everyone loved the outdoor activities of putting golf etc. They loved the on-site kayaks to explore the river. We also loved the beautiful walks we went on in the parks the bordered the river. We loved making meals in the kitchen. My son said as we were heading to the airport if we ever come to Tampa again can we stay here. It has been my very favorite house to stay in. The host have down an amazing job with this house.” – Julie M

Of course, the kitchen is the heart of Waterside Gardens indoor/outdoor open floorplan. It’s always time to gather around the gorgeous T-shaped island, surrounded by top-notch appliances and a full suite of culinary tools that transform even the simplest meals into gourmet experiences.

Descend to the ultimate entertainment area - a spacious, open-air extension of the home that is perfectly screened in for the best of both worlds.

This area is complete with comfortable seating, a grill, and a unique shuffleboard dining table. It also includes a private gym with a Peloton Bike, a Lululemon Mirror, and other exercise equipment. From every kind of game, including air hockey, to the “big” game on the huge flat-screen TV, this space captures the essence of how to enjoy Tampa's outdoor lifestyle!

"If the walls in Waterside Garden could talk, they would tell you to cancel all of your vacation plans, everything you need is here. Tucked away on the Hillsborough River, this amazing property combines modern flair with coastal elegance. Charming, peaceful, panoramic and enchanting are just a few of the adjectives that best describe Waterside Garden. The standards- comfortable bedding, solid water pressure, fully stocked, cleanliness throughout, towels galore, parking, secure, safe, and amenities abound. But the true acme of Waterside Garden is the wellness experiences, which are organized around four paths: refresh, restore, relax and renew (the bay, yoga on the dock, hot tub, salt water pool, endemic plants, fitness area, kayaks and the open floor plan that encourages human connection). I have been fortunate enough to have stayed here twice in the past two months. Its an absolute must experience. As previously stated, you will not want to leave this property, it has everything!" -Joel

OUTDOORS:

The true gem of Waterside Gardens design vision is just outside the patio.
