🦩LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
Seminole Heights is coming in hot with fun, new, edgy eateries, bars & breweries that are attracting people from all over the world. Seminole Heights has been continually voted "Best of Tampa", as one of the oldest and most popular neighborhoods of Tampa. Well known by locals for its beautiful 1920's Craftsman Bungalows, & its amazing food & beer scene, it has been voted as one of the “best places to live” in Florida due to it’s deep roots in Tampa history & eclectic food & drink scene, and Flamingo Haven is nestled, within walking distance, right at the heart of it all. 💕

When you stay at the Flamingo Haven, you will feel this charm the city holds, as you walk the neighborhoods, along the river, or surround yourself with the century old past from the beautiful bungalows that make up this tight-knit community. You can feel the 120yr old history through the architecture of the ancient bungalows that flank the Hillsborough River.

Chef’s come from far and wide to practice their craft here, and surprise their patrons with exotic flavors & that includes breweries and wineries alike. Finding a farm to table is not unusual, and is in fact, the norm. While chain restaurants are not. The only chain restaurant you will find here is Starbucks.

Once you are here, you will see why it’s so popular. Drinking your first hand made kava on the front porch while watch the blue jays teach their young to fly between the grand oaks has a way of making a lasting impression. It definitely does not disappoint.

🦩 POOL
There is a large, heated, private pool on the property. The pool meets the State of Florida safety regulations. The pool is beautiful & cleaned professionally every Tuesday / Wednesday. Sometimes there are leaves in the deep end of the pool as the pool is not caged. This is because the neighborhood is over 100 years old and the city will not allow caging of the pools. With the 100 year old grand oaks, and other very old, very large trees, it is almost impossible to keep leaves out of the pool. The leaves do not affect the Ph balance of the pool. If the leaves bother you, you may scoop them out with the net. Booking home means you agree to follow posted Pool Rules.
