Your waterfront sanctuary with Tampa Bay at your doorstep.
Westbay Cove 231 is a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bath bay-front escape where every window frames water, every sunrise starts your day, and a spectacular sun room becomes your favorite place on earth. With 1,275 square feet of coastal style, modern updates, and direct views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, this isn't just a rental—it's where island life makes sense.
The Sun Room (Your New Obsession)
This is the magic. A 19'x10' bay-windowed retreat with wraparound views of Tampa Bay, built-in bookshelf seating, and enough natural light to power a month of inspiration. Morning coffee watching pelicans dive. Afternoon reading with the Skyway Bridge glowing in the distance. Evening wine as sailboats drift past. The primary bedroom opens directly into this space—you'll literally wake up to water views. Remote workers: this is your video call background that makes colleagues jealous.
Waterfront Views to Savor
Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout bring Tampa Bay inside. Watch dolphins, manatees, and wading birds from your living room. The waterfront lawn extends to the bay's edge where mangrove-lined shoreline creates natural habitat for incredible wildlife viewing. Settle into Adirondack chairs and watch the show—all the beauty of waterfront living, designed for viewing from the comfort of dry land.
