Water Street: Tampa’s Newest Hotspot

After many years of development and construction, Water Street is now (almost) officially completed. Phase 1 began in 2017, and the development has cost an estimated $3.5 billion, so it’s definitely been a labor of love. Bill Gates’ investment firm Cascade Investment and Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and partners combined forces on the project and created a joint venture in Strategic Property Partners.

The 16-block development has plenty to offer, so let’s take a closer look and see how Ready Stays can help you make the most of your time in this exciting new community hub.

What’s on offer?

With its prime location between downtown Tampa, the Channel District and the financial district, Water Street development boasts a plethora of restaurants, bars, fitness centers, events spaces and more.

Even the fussiest eaters will find something to enjoy, with a huge variety of delicious fare on offer, including burgers, Asian-inspired street food, seafood, a taqueria, a public house, and ice cream.

Shoppers looking to treat themselves can visit the many retail stores. There’s a furniture and home decor store, an organic grocery store, a pet shop, and a plant shop specializing in tropical plants.

Not only that, there are opportunities for fitness enthusiasts and beginners alike, with HIIT classes, circuits and cycling studios. Once their workout is done, patrons can feel pampered at a nail salon, blow dry bar, and massage parlor. Visitors can also look forward to visiting an IV therapy and non-invasive treatment center when it opens soon.

You can find out more about the latest goings on at Water Street Tampa on the official Instagram.

Perfect Stay — 5 Minutes from Tampa Airport!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my stay here! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and completely at home. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Every detail was thoughtfully considered — from the cozy linens to the fully stocked kitchen and the peaceful atmosphere.

One of the best parts? The location! It’s only 5 minutes from Tampa International Airport, which made traveling so easy and stress-free. Plus, it’s close to all the top spots in Tampa — beaches, restaurants, shopping, and more — yet still peaceful and quiet.

The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and made sure I had everything I needed. You can tell they truly care about creating a great experience for their guests. I felt safe, relaxed, and honestly didn’t want to leave!

Ready Stays helped us during one of our greatest times of need after being displaced by hurricane Milton. Stephanie was our initial line of communication to help us find a temporary home. She was kind, helpful, and efficient. The unit we stayed in was clean, updated, and had everything we needed. The location provided several amenities. Whenever I needed assistance with anything (i.e. locating a package, unit maintenance), they were available to text and got back to me immediately. Ready Stays’ customer service and professionalism goes unmatched! Thank you for everything!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your 5-star rating! We’re glad to know you had a great experience with Ready Stays.
I had an absolutely!!!! wonderful experience with Ready Stays furnished housing. I experienced extensive damage to my home due to water damage and had to move out of my home for six months and Ready Stays became my "knight in shining armour". They provided me with a beautiful home completely furnished which certainly helped to relieve the immense amount of stress I was under. Everyone on the staff was so kind and accomodating from day one. I received many calls, texts, and emails throughout the entire six months making sure that all of my needs were met. I will never be able to thank Ready Stays enough for "all" that was done for me during such a difficult and unexpected event in my life.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your very kind and considerate review, Cherie! We're so happy we could help you and your family through this difficult period. You we're a joy to work with!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Vince! It's always a pleasure working with you and your wonderful team!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Larry! We will welcome you back anytime!
We are a family of three and we just finished a wonderful 8 month stay in a Ready Stays furnished apartment in Brookview (Citrus Park)
To give a little background - we moved in August 2023 from India (relocated for work) and went straight from the airport to the apartment that we had leased remotely.
It was one of the best decisions we made to start our stay in Tampa in a Ready Stays furnished apartment. From the ease of working with Tyler to set up the lease - to the thoughtful touches like leaving essential cleaning supplies so that we would not have any issues in our first days here while we stocked up - everything about the experience was exceptional. I would HIGHLY recommend that folks moving into Tampa especially from overseas consider a Ready Stays furnished apartment to get started.
Throughout our stay all service requests were attended to in a timely manner and the customer service was always first class.
Thank you Ready Stays for ensuring that our stay in Tampa got off to such a wonderful start.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this very thoughtful review, Prashant! We're so happy we could help with your family's transition to the US. Please keep in touch should you ever need temporary housing in Florida or nationwide!
We had a great stay at this property. Very clean with everything we needed. 5 Stars for sure!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Garth! We enjoyed working with you and your family.
I had a great stay. Everything was simple and easy. Felt like home away from home.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the review, Shane! It was a pleasure accommodating you.
I highly recommend Ready Stays. Tyler Graves who helped us secure the apartment at Grady Square was extremely helpful and professional. The Grady Square Apartments are a fantastic complex: We had three people working in a 3 bedroom apartment and there was more than enough space. The terraces was an unexpeted bonus.Another bonus was the Conference Room and business center that included a printer, copier and scanner. Other amenities the building offered were fantastic: pool and hot tub, a very nice gym and free coffee. The staff took phenomenal care of the building, cleaning it thoroughly daily.
I look forward to returning in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review, Henry! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us at Grady Square :)
Highly recommended! We moved out of our house, and needed fully furnished apartment until we moved into our new home. Everything about Ready Stays was seamless and customer service was spot on. Our apartment was nicely furnished and we had everything we needed to live for five weeks!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words, Kathleen! We enjoyed working with you, and we appreciate the referral!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Nilanjan! We hope to work with you again.
Wonderful to work and super accommodating for our needs. Would definitely use them again for any sort of extended stay.

Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Benjamin. We're happy we could help you and your family!
I made the perfect choice to use Ready Stays when choosing a temporary relocation for my Mom and Brother. Great communication and customer service. I left my family in good hands while I was away! Tyler, Wanda and the rest of the team were profesional, caring and respectful. I would use them again without hesitation.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful review, Carolina! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your family.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review, Chloe! It was great working with you :)
I had the opportunity to stay at one of Ready Stays furnished apartments this summer for my internship. I was impressed from the moment I started speaking with the team on relocating to Tampa, everyone was so helpful in guiding me in the right direction to find me the perfect location and place to stay. I did not visit Tampa or the complex prior to moving there, and the team eased all my concerns.

The complex I was able to stay in had every amenity possible, and the Ready Stays team made sure to find me a place I was looking for that offered everything I needed/wanted. The check-in and out process was effortless and organized. Maintenance request were handled timely, and the Ready Stays team followed-up on any quest.

Overall, if you are looking for short-term furnished housing in the Tampa area please make sure to contact Ready Stays!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this wonderful review, Tyler! We appreciate you taking the time to outline your positive experience with us :)
Used Ready Stays for the last two summers in Tampa and both were incredible. The furnishings, amenities, and service were all excellent
Response from the owner:Thank you for this great review, Renee! We've enjoyed working with you!
Ready Stays did an excellent job in finding the perfect apartment that met all my needs. I was able to get a fully furnished apartment at the perfect location. Tyler Graves did a great job of communicating and making the process a smooth one.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Gladys! It was a pleasure working with you and your son.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Zander!
Amazing , worked so good with us . Awesome
Response from the owner:Thank you, Stephany! We’re happy we could accommodate your family for your needs.
I needed a place to live short - term and furnished and Ready Stays was there like champs. Other corporate-type housing was expensive and terms weren't as flexible. I was able to get a fully furnished, all utilities covered apartment and easy and friendly people to deal with. I would recommend and stay again for sure.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this great review! We enjoyed working with you, and welcome you back anytime :)
