About this property
Little Piece of Heaven
*Florida is in a severe drought right now, so the lake is getting low and there is a burn ban so unfortunately the firepit is not allowed to be used at this time. 1bedroom/1 bath fully updated cottage with a touch of old Florida, a scenic window,fully functioning kitchen, and centrally located in between I275 and the Veterans Expressway. Close to shopping, Busch Gardens, Adventure Island and Raymond James Stadium. Downtown Tampa and Channelside are just a short 20 minute drive away to Amelia Arena and the Aquarium. Need to catch a cruise, that's in Channelside too. Come and relax on our beautiful lake or during cooler weather enjoy the outdoor firepit!! Please note this is a shared property. Owners live on premise with our 2 dogs and 2 cats. If you do not like animals this may not be the place for you, this is their home too and there is another cottage located on same property of our almost 1.5 acres. When you are here you have full access to the property's amenities. Although interactions with other guests are rare, you may run into some and watercrafts are a first come first serve basis at use of own risk. Please ask first before having guests over. We do not mind visitors but this is not a place for all of your family and friends to come and hang out everyday for your stay. There is not a lifeguard. Owners are not liable for any acts of nature for example wildlife, falling tree limbs, acorns, but not limited to others. A lot of people ask if there are alligators in our lake, my answer is probably. Assume any body of fresh water in Florida has one. Our lakes are connected so you never know where they may be. Refunds will not be given for inclement weather or early departures. Please be sure to view our profile for more info about the details of the area, this section does not have enough characters to describe. By booking this you agree to these terms.

About the host
Hosted by kelly and kevin wright
Kevin being from Michigan fell in love with Florida immediately and never left about 40 years ago. Kelly is from Florida and grew up in Tampa. We both were in the restaurant/bar industry for a combined time of over 50 years before venturing into our own businesses. Kevin is a handyman and has conquered our lake for lawn services. Kelly started a cleaning business that has been operating for almost 20 years so we know customer service very well!!
Why they chose this property
We live in a wonderful residential country like setting. Although you may feel secluded from the rest of Lutz and the Tampa Bay Area there is everyday noise activity you may hear such as school buses, garbage trucks, lawn maintenance crews, there can be houses being built, a kid training for the junior Olympics lives on 25 acres down the road so you may or may not hear a few rounds go off that last just a few minutes, dogs and people in general bike or walk the lake. It is approximately 2 miles door to door if you like exercising.
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique in the fact that our little cottages on the property date back to the 50’s. Although they have been updated you still get that old Florida feel with the bonus of a beautiful lake(which sometimes gets low in droughts) a firepit and lots of animals such as squirrels, raccoons and all sorts of birds. If you come and are an early riser or even at dusk if you download the free app called Merlin it shows you which birds are speaking, the names and what they look like all at once I highly suggest this app.
