Davis Islands Home Builders & Renovations
Davis Islands is a neighborhood of Tampa made up of a chain of two—formerly three—man-made islands nestled along the Davis Islands shoreline of Hillsborough Bay. Davis Islands was once three islands, however with the construction with its airport, the space between the second and third canal was filled to provide an appropriate length runway.
Davis Islands is well known for its luxurious Mediterranean architecture (and pastel-colored) buildings—many dating back to the 1920s, making Davis Island a historical area. Davis Island is also known for its remarkable view of downtown Tampa, dog beach (making it a popular place for pet lovers to reside), Davis Islands Yacht Club, Peter O. Knight Airport, and Davis Islands Park. East Davis Islands caters to an assortment of pubs and cafes, drawing in locals and visitors alike.
The island’s streets are (mostly) alphabetically named after other islands or bodies of water—and there aren’t any traffic lights throughout the neighborhood. This is natural for the residents (both two legged and four legged), who prefer to walk across the island for entertainment and shopping—or to visit the pet-friendly dog beach.
