A private hot-tub hideout under bougainvillea.
1 bedroom · 2 beds · sleeps 2 comfortably, up to 44.97 · 440 published reviews
A private hot tub oasis in the heart of historic Ybor City, two blocks from 7th Avenue. Ybor Roost is a one-of-a-kind 495-square-foot tiny house filled with local art, vintage character, and thoughtful design.
The fully fenced backyard is the heart of the stay. Soak beneath a bougainvillea-covered pergola and string lights, then ring the vintage bell and see if Ybor’s famous chickens wander past.
Designed for couples and most comfortable for two. A Joybird queen sleeper sofa accommodates up to four, though four guests should expect a cozy stay.

Guests say it best
Hot tub, local art, and two blocks to Ybor.
Hot-tub stay
“We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, too! The size was perfect for my husband and I, with ample space for sitting in different areas.”
Couples getaway
“We were looking for peaceful, private but still close enough to have a good time and this was that! The house is exactly like the pictures, the hot tub was perfect!”
Fifth Roost stay
“Though it’s been a few years this was our fifth time staying at The Roost... This is a quirky little place with a deluxe feel. It is our favorite place to stay when visiting local family in the Tampa area! The back patio has a delightful new hot tub jacuzzi surrounded by a pergola of blooming bougainvillea!... Ybor is worth a visit and the Roost is perfect for a couple!”

Good to know before booking
Beautifully Ybor. Honestly described.
Ybor has a soundtrack
You may hear nearby trains, street life, live music, or a rooster who has not read the quiet-hours policy. Weekends have more energy; weekdays are generally calmer. White-noise machines and blackout shades are provided in the bedroom.
Small on purpose
Ybor Roost is a compact 495-square-foot tiny house designed for couples and most comfortable for two. It can sleep four using the Joybird queen sleeper sofa, but four guests should expect a cozy stay.
Best suited to adults
The home is not childproofed and does not include infant-safety equipment. The private hot tub and outdoor areas require active adult supervision.
Privacy and safety
Any exterior security devices are disclosed in the booking safety information before you reserve. There are no cameras inside the home.

The neighborhood
You are in Ybor. Not visiting it.
Most Tampa trips treat Ybor as a night out. These two homes sit inside it. Cigar-factory brick, Cuban coffee, live music on 7th Avenue, and the neighborhood chickens wandering past the gate.
