The Space:

You step into a simply designed paradise that feels both spacious and cozy, inviting you to unwind after a day of exploring Lutz. Sunlight filters through the living room windows, highlighting a large sofa that easily fits the whole family. A small patio off the lounge offers a quiet spot for two to sip coffee as the evening settles in.



Sleeping arrangements

Four queen bedrooms each open onto a private full bathroom, giving every guest their own space to refresh. The beds are comfortably sized for a restful night, and the layout ensures privacy for all members of the group.



Living space

The living area provides ample room for gathering, with a comfortable sofa and a TV for relaxed evenings. A breakfast nook tucked into the kitchen invites casual mornings, while a separate dining area makes it easy to share meals together.



Kitchen & dining

A full kitchen comes stocked with the essentials you need to prepare simple meals, from pots and pans to basic utensils. The adjacent breakfast nook and dining table create a convenient flow for cooking and enjoying food at the same time.



Outdoor living

Step onto a small patio with outdoor seating for two, perfect for a quick coffee or a late‑night chat under the stars. The community pool, just steps away, offers a refreshing dip, and a nearby gym lets you keep up with your routine.



Facilities

The building’s clubhouse includes a lounge, fitness center, basketball court, walking/biking trail, and a grill area for casual barbecues. All these shared amenities are designed for easy access and add variety to your stay.



Location

Located on the second floor, the unit sits just five minutes from the University of South Florida, eight minutes from MOSI, and eleven minutes from Busch Gardens Tampa. Nature lovers will appreciate the ten‑minute drive to Takomah Trail Park and the thirteen‑minute route to Lettuce Lake Park. Easy access to major attractions makes it simple to plan day trips while returning to a quiet, budget‑friendly home base.



Perfect for families or groups seeking a comfortable, relaxed stay, this Lutz retreat balances convenience, essential comforts, and a welcoming atmosphere for any length of visit.



Guest Access:

During your stay, you will have complete and exclusive access to the entire home.

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.



Other Things to Note:

The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized between each guest. We ensure that our cleaners are committed to the highest standards of cleanliness.



Please note that the photos displayed for our units are intended to represent the general amenities and features of the properties. However, furnishings, decor, and appliances may vary from what is shown. The images may not accurately reflect the current state of the unit.



A damage protection option is required for all reservations and is processed through our third-party system prior to arrival. The available options depend on the length of your stay:

-For 1-Night Reservations: Guests are required to provide a $250 refundable security deposit. This is a pre-authorized hold (not a charge) that is released following a damage-free inspection after checkout.

-For Reservations of 2 Nights or More: Guests may choose between the $250 refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver of $30 per night (capped at a maximum of $150). This waiver covers accidental damages beyond normal wear and tear.



Please note that the community pool and all other community amenities are managed and maintained exclusively by the community. We do not provide access to the community's amenities.



Please be reminded that check-out time is 10AM. In order to prepare our property for the next guests, housekeeping is scheduled to arrive promptly upon check-out. Late check-outs affect housekeeping schedules and future guest reservations. In the event you stay beyond the original scheduled check-out time, you may incur a fee of up to $300.



It is a self-catering home, therefore, we do not refill any supplies during your stay. Each bathroom will have shampoo/conditioner, body wash, a single roll of toilet paper, and hand soap. In the laundry room we provide enough detergent pods for UP TO two (2) loads. In the kitchen, a paper towel roll, a couple of trash bags, dishwashing detergent, and sponge. There is a coffee maker, however coffee is not. Salt/pepper and cooking oil are available for use. If anything is missing, please let us know immediately upon check in so we can arrange restocking.



We appreciate your understanding!

We conveniently offer self check-in and check-out. Though we are not available in person, we are happy to answer any questions and help accommodate to the best of our ability! Please note that our listing is a self-catering home, however, feel free to contact us through the messaging app with any questions and/or suggestions! :)

We recently stayed while visiting family for Thanksgiving. The apartment was a great choice for us. It was a reasonably priced, no frills accommodation near the University of South Florida. The apartment was clean and appeared to be recently updated. The check-in process was simple. Julie, the host, was very responsive throughout our stay. My grandson loved the pool and gym. We all appreciated nice hot showers with good water pressure and lots of hot water and comfortable mattresses! Basic amenities were there to get us started, as advertised. There is just one tv, with streaming service in the living room. All in all we are happy with our choice of accommodation!

You cannot use the pool at this property even though it’s listed in the description. There are no tvs in the bedrooms, beds felt like sleeping on the floor, and even though it says it’s cleaned after every booking the floor was gross! My daughter’s feet were black after crawling for 5 minutes! We canceled this property and booked somewhere way better!
