The Yellow Bungalow · Alafia River, Riverview FL
A hidden gem on the water, waiting to slow you down.
Tucked away on the Alafia River just outside Tampa, this cozy one-bedroom bungalow is built for porch coffee, sunset views, and doing absolutely nothing. Guest favorite, rated 4.96 out of 5.
Charm, comfort, and a river out back.
The Yellow Bungalow sits right on the Alafia River, tucked into a quiet residential street that feels a world away from the city — even though Tampa is just a short drive out. A screened porch and a multi-level deck stretch out over the water, made for slow mornings and long sunsets.
Every sink and shower runs filtered, drinkable water. Bring your boat, bring your book — the river sets the pace either way.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
