Fantastic Stay

We loved staying here. It was a dream location for us, quiet and relaxing with plenty to do. We saw dolphins and manatees, herons and ducks from (or in) the front lawn. We had our own private dock for fishing or just relaxing. Loved the kayaks. The large screened in porch became a great family gathering place. We had all that we needed and more.

Beautiful property and house!

We had a wonderful stay at Cow’s Creek. Being surrounded by all the water is so peaceful. The house is decorated nicely, is bright, very open and extremely clean. The different birds were fun to watch. The kayaks were nice to have for use, as well as the washer and dryer. We also did enjoy the screened in porch as well. I’m looking forward to a return visit.

Awesome stay!

My family and i rented this home for a week vacation, they home was very accommodating and everyone felt right at home during the stay. If you love wild life a morning cup of coffee with the various birds and the occasional dolphin or manetee(s) in the canal then we highly recommend staying in this gorgeous home. We will definitely be back for another stay!

This rental is easily one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed in. The whole house and contents are in great condition and the owner has made sure everything is organized and well designed. The location was lovely for watching all the birds on the canal and the area was very walkable. We highly recommend a stay here!

WILDLIFE galore

Every day we had birds visiting and sunbathing in the yard. One, which we couldn't identify, was curious and wanted to come in the house. There was a nest of Cranes across the canal and the babies took flight. Very awesome. We had a dolpin and manatee visit and lots of people fishing. The house was well equipped. My only disappointment were the bugs. I was bit upon arrival and couldn't spend time outdoors in the yard. The screened in room helped some but no-see-ems got through.

Awesome!!

The house is located perfect to go different directions for attractions. Tampa Hard Rock Casino, Aquarium, and Bush Gardens. Then to Clearwater Beach and Brooksville/Spring Hill areas. If there is anything you need in a pinch, there is plenty of shopping nearby. The house itself was beautiful and comfortable and had everything we needed in the kitchen like the comforts of home. Our adult kids loved taking the kayaks out for a spin. I had the cutest visitor every time I went outside. A baby water bird would fly in and land within a foot next to me. (he was about a foot tall) His mom, almost 3 feet tall would fly in once and a while to check on him. I am going to miss him. We just loved the place and didn't want to leave. Especially to go back north to the snow and 20-degree temps.

Girls trip!

It was amazing and perfect for our girls trip! The sunrise over the water was so beautiful, and taking the kayaks out was so much fun!! Was plenty of room for all of us and the house was cute. Only thing I would suggest is maybe a fan on the patio and bit more lighting, it’s get a bit dark. Also loved that it was close to restaurants and even a real good ice cream place! Thank you for letting us stay!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Silva

Host profile image
Wife and I moved from the cold New England weather in 1988 and headed to Tampa Florida where we now call Home.

Why they chose this property

We where looking for a property on the water and came across this property which we fell in love with.
It sits on a quiet Corner canal with spectacular water views and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Wife and I love to sit in the front yard watch the sun rise, look out to Cow Creek bay and appreciate all the Wildlife,
specially when the Dolphins come in to the bay to feed.
On sunny days we like to kayak on the calm waters of Hudson and enjoy the Nature around us.
We also enjoy fishing right out from the sea Wall.
The kids love the place which makes this home so special to us.
