Luxe Legacy Vacations is proud to introduce this newly renovated home located in a quiet, charming neighborhood just minutes from the best of Tampa Bay. The Florida Bungalow is the perfect home base for an exciting Florida adventure or a relaxing getaway with friends and family. Whatever brings you to Tampa, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy.
Just minutes from Downtown Tampa, Armature Works, and Raymond James Stadium, our getaway offers a peaceful retreat in a quiet residential neighborhood. You’ll be just a couple blocks from Florida Avenue’s craft breweries and distilleries, locally owned restaurants and shops, and cozy neighborhood cafés.
IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTE: This home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood and is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing, respectful stay.
Quiet hours are strictly observed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM in accordance with City of Tampa regulations. During these hours, outdoor music, outdoor TV use, loud voices, pool/hot tub activity, patio activity, and outdoor gathering activity must stop and be moved indoors.
Daytime activity must also remain respectful. Loud outdoor gatherings, drinking games, yelling, amplified music, DJs, outdoor TV use at disruptive levels, or other party-style activity are not permitted at any time.
If your trip plans involve a party, loud celebration, late-night gathering, or high-energy outdoor event, this home will not be a good fit.
We love hosting guests who will enjoy the home while treating the property and neighborhood with care. If that sounds like your group, we would be happy to host you.

“We had a lovely stay because it felt like being at home! The furnishings and decorations are beautiful!! A lot of space for my family/friends of 10, comfortable & cozy in the large kitchen, island and living room for us all to gather. The little amenities like full coffee station, spices for cooking, cleaning items & even a s’mores making kit for the outdoor fire pit are wonderful additions to enjoy!! Gabby & Daniel are quick to respond, super helpful & are top notch!! We loved our stay!!” -Danielle

The tropical backyard is the true centerpiece of this delightful home. As you step out onto the sprawling deck, you’re greeted by an above-ground private cowboy pool that provides a refreshing reprieve from the warm Florida sun. The deck expands out to surround the pool, seamlessly integrating with the outdoor space where you can lounge poolside, soak up the sun, and enjoy your favorite beverage. There is an outdoor grill perfect for cooking up a delicious meal after a day of exploring the town complete with an outdoor dining table.
The cozy fire pit creates a warm focal point for evening hangouts and conversation. Surrounded by plenty of seating and a soothing natural environment, this intimate space invites you to enjoy the company of your people in your own private paradise.
Tucked into a quiet corner of the tropical backyard, the hot tub offers a serene escape for ultimate relaxation. Whether you’re starting your morning with a peaceful soak or unwinding under the stars, the hot tub is the perfect way to melt away stress and embrace the laid-back Florida lifestyle.
“If you're headed to this area with a group, this is the place to stay! We had 8 people on a destination nearby, but also wanted a place to stay that offered us some relaxing, entertaining time. The bungalow was perfect...couldn't ask for more! We utilized the deck area with large table, the hot tub, cooling pool and firepit.” -Debra
