Riverfront Escape | Pool/Spa, Fire Pit & Games

Summary:

“I would 100% recommend this home to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and truly five-star stay. We would absolutely stay here again!” -Meredith



Riverbend Escape is a luxury riverfront oasis designed to create remarkable memories. From floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water to evenings around the sandy beach firepit under the stars, every moment invites you to slow down and enjoy Tampa’s serene riverfront lifestyle.



The Space:

Luxe Legacy Vacations welcomes you to Riverbend Escape, a modern riverfront sanctuary nestled along the Hillsborough River. Every element of this luxurious retreat has been thoughtfully designed for connection, relaxation, and memorable moments together.



Tucked along a quiet neighborhood street just minutes from Downtown Tampa, the home offers the best of both worlds: convenient access to the city while surrounded by nature and tranquility.



IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTE:

This home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood and is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing, respectful retreat rather than a party or late-night event atmosphere.



We absolutely want guests to enjoy the outdoor spaces, pool, spa, and gathering areas throughout the day. However, because sound carries much farther outdoors at night than most guests realize — especially around pools, patios, and outdoor gathering spaces — we ask guests to be especially mindful of surrounding neighbors during evening hours.



Outdoor quiet hours are observed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM in accordance with City of Tampa guidelines. During this time, outdoor gathering activity should begin winding down as the evening continues indoors, and outdoor music, outdoor TV use, loud group socializing, and elevated noise levels should be avoided. The spa and certain outdoor features also automatically power down at 10:00 PM nightly as part of the home’s quiet-hour settings.



Daytime activity should also remain respectful of the surrounding neighborhood. Amplified music, DJs, drinking games, yelling, disruptive outdoor gatherings, and party-style events are not permitted.



We love hosting guests who will enjoy the home while also helping us preserve a peaceful and respectful environment for the surrounding neighborhood. If that sounds like your group, we would be happy to host you.



MAIN FLOOR:



Step inside to a spacious open-concept layout where the gourmet kitchen, dining area, and living room flow seamlessly together. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing breathtaking river views just beyond.



At the center of the space is the stunning kitchen, complete with a grand island, high-end appliances, and everything needed to prepare meals for your group. Whether you're brewing your morning coffee or preparing a full dinner, the kitchen is designed to make gathering easy and enjoyable.



Just beside the kitchen, the dining area provides a welcoming place for shared meals and conversation. The space then flows naturally into the comfortable living room, where plush seating and a large flat-screen TV create the perfect environment for relaxing with family and friends.



Just beyond the living room, the balcony offers a front-row seat to the river. With peaceful waterfront views and fresh Florida air, it’s the perfect place to start your mornings or unwind in the evenings.



“The home was beautiful and hands down the most well-stocked home I’ve ever stayed in, every little thing we could’ve needed was already thought of.” -Emily



OUTDOORS:



Descend to the home’s entertainment hub, where a spacious screened-in living area brings the outdoors in while maintaining the comfort of shade and breeze.



This inviting space features a dining table, grill, and comfortable lounge seating centered around a large flat-screen TV. A ping pong table invites friendly competition, while a full bathroom with shower provides convenient access for guests enjoying the space. The entertainment continues in the garage, where a private gym is equipped with free weights and exercise equipment. This area also includes an indoor putting green with surrounding bean bag seating.



Just beyond the entertainment hub is the resort-style pool area that feels like your own private retreat. The pool and attached hot tub are surrounded by swaying palms, plush loungers, and shaded seating overlooking the river.



Beyond the pool, a wide grassy backyard provides plenty of space to relax or enjoy outdoor games. A stone pathway winds through the grounds toward the sandy beach firepit along the Hillsborough River, where evenings unfold around the glow of the fire beneath the open sky.



“Extremely beautiful house, super clean, fully equipped for large families. We did enjoy the river view, garden, games and pool that we didn’t need to go anywhere else. Friendly and proactive host. We had a wonderful family get together for Christmas in this wonderful place. I fully recommend it.” -Blanca
