Barbara C. Mar 1, 2025 09:11:21 PM
Summary: This was our third stay at The Perch in 3 years. We really love this property. It is charming and we love the deck and the great view of downtown Tampa, as well as watching the boat activity on the river. The property is always well stocked with necessities. The neighborhood around The Perch is quite run down but all of the homes on the river are very nice and gated. We have never felt unsafe. There are a lot of steps to climb to get to the Perch but it is worth it. Also, it is a short, easy drive to the airport, which is helpful. The owner has always been responsive and helpful.

Summary: Good secure parking, close to downtown. Host was very nice. Was cold during the stay so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck overlooking the river much.
Sara F. Jun 13, 2024 06:33:53 PM
Summary: I went on a dissertation retreat. What more could you want a well appointed room, easy access to food and an inspirational deck over the river. With A+ communication! I will be back!
