The home

Featured on Season 3 of the Emmy Award-winning series StayCation, Waterside Gardens is a brand-new riverfront retreat on the Hillsborough River. A wall of windows frames the palms and water, and the days drift from morning coffee on the balcony deck to sunsets from your own private beach. Thoughtfully designed for up to sixteen guests, it is built for comfort, connection, and the kind of gatherings you remember.

✿A respectful retreat

Waterside Gardens sits in a peaceful residential neighborhood and is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing, respectful stay. We warmly welcome you to enjoy the pool, spa, and outdoor spaces throughout the day, and simply ask that you help us keep the setting calm for our neighbors.

◆
Outdoor quiet hours, 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM
Evenings move indoors: outdoor music, TV, and loud group socializing wind down, and the spa and certain outdoor features power off at 10:00 PM.
◆
No parties or events
Occupancy is limited to 16 guests with no additional visitors, including for daytime. Amplified music, DJs, drinking games, and party-style gatherings are not permitted.
◆
Daytime, enjoy freely
The pool, spa, and gathering areas are yours all day; we just ask that outdoor noise stays considerate of the surrounding homes.

This is an amazing AirBnB!! We absolutely loved our stay here!! So many fun activities, lots of room to gather, gorgeous and impeccably clean rooms and bathrooms. The house was exactly as pictured and hosts were so friendly, responsive, and helpful with any request. This place is perfect for a group or extended family! We were so sad to leave!

Extremely disappointing experience after spending nearly $4,000. We complied when asked to have additional visitors leave, yet our access code was changed, our reservation was canceled, and police were called to remove us before our scheduled checkout. What was most disturbing was learning that a predominantly Caucasian group had recently held a similar gathering at this same property without receiving the treatment we did. As Black guests, the difference in treatment left us with serious concerns about discrimination. We expected fairness, respect, and professionalism as paying guests, and unfortunately, that was not our experience.
