About this property

Cozy retreat w/pool & pet-friendly patio

The Space:

Soft morning light filters through the first‑floor retreat, inviting you to stretch out and breathe in the calm of suburban Lutz. As the day warms, the gentle hum of nearby trees and distant park trails creates a soothing backdrop for family laughter or quiet reflection. Evenings settle into a quiet rhythm, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Tampa’s attractions.



Sleeping arrangements

Four spacious bedrooms each provide a queen bed and a full bathroom, giving each guest privacy and comfort. Neutral tones and uncluttered layouts make it easy to settle in after a day out, and the layout comfortably accommodates up to eight guests.



Indoor living

The large living area gathers everyone for movies on the TV or relaxed conversation on the sofa. A breakfast nook sits just off the full kitchen, while a separate dining space invites shared meals. From the living room you step onto a small patio with outdoor seating for two, a quiet spot to enjoy the mild Florida air.



Kitchen & dining

The full kitchen is stocked for simple meal preparation, from quick breakfasts to relaxed dinners. A dedicated workspace and free Wi‑Fi support remote work or planning the next outing, and the dining area offers ample room for family gatherings.



Laundry & essentials

A free washer and dryer, along with provided essentials, make longer stays hassle‑free. You’ll find everything needed to keep routines smooth without extra trips.



Community amenities

Within the surrounding community you’ll find a shared pool, a fitness center, a basketball court, a clubhouse, lounge areas, walking and biking trails, and a grill. These facilities add options for a swim, a workout, or an outdoor afternoon, all without leaving the property. Free parking on the premises adds convenience for guests arriving by car.



Neighborhood

Set in the Tampa Palms area, the neighborhood blends suburban calm with easy access to restaurants, shops, and local attractions. A short drive brings you to USF, MOSI, Busch Gardens Tampa, Takomah Trail Park, and Lettuce Lake Park, while wooded streets and nearby riverfront areas invite casual strolls and bike rides.



Perfect for

Guests seeking a budget‑friendly getaway with simple comforts, pet‑friendly stays, and space for the whole family will feel right at home. The practical amenities and relaxed setting support both short visits and longer stays, giving you room to rest, work, and explore at your own pace.



Guest Access:

Feel safe & right at home as you enter the gated community with security guard. You will have 3 spots available for you to park, not assigned, first come first serve - spots are labeled "Visitor". Commercial vehicles, trailers, motorcycles, RVs, and similar vehicles are strictly prohibited anywhere in the community and are not eligible for parking passes. Violations may result in towing or fines per HOA rules.



The Neighborhood:

Suburban residential streets blend with a bit of urban charm in Tampa Palms, a pristine neighborhood just 14 miles northeast of Tampa, Florida. A short drive separates you from exploring the Florida Aquarium, dining at famous restaurants, and enjoying riverfront views at Tampa Riverwalk! Though Tampa Palms’ wooded streets give it a suburban look, the numerous apartment complexes, restaurants, shops, hospitals, and various businesses add some urban flair to the area.



Just south of town, discover University Mall with all of the mall classics—from a delicious food court and large movie theater to major department stores and popular retailers. A few miles further south, you’ll find Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island.



Getting Around:

We are located in a prime area near major freeways like I-275 and I-75 for ease of commuting. Our ideal location is close to shopping, dining, and entertainment like Violet Cury Preserve. The excitement of big city activities in Tampa is well within reach.
