- Clubhouse, lounge, fitness center & basketball court

- Full kitchen, dining area & breakfast nook

The Space:

You step onto a quiet first‑floor porch and feel the gentle Florida breeze, the scent of nearby pine mingling with the faint hum of distant park life. Inside, the open layout invites you to unwind on a plush sofa while sunlight streams through large windows, highlighting the simple, clean design that feels both spacious and cozy. The soft rustle of leaves from the walking trail outside creates a calming backdrop for a weekend escape or a longer stay with the whole family.



Sleeping arrangements

Four bright queen bedrooms each open onto a private full bathroom, offering a restful retreat after a day of exploring. The queen beds provide ample space for couples, parents, or friends, and the en‑suite bathrooms ensure privacy and convenience for every guest.



Living space

The living area is generous enough to gather everyone for movie nights or board games, with comfortable seating that faces a large flat‑screen TV. A small patio off the living room holds outdoor seating for two, perfect for sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying an evening drink under the stars.



Kitchen & dining

A fully equipped kitchen includes all the essentials you need to whip up simple meals, from a stovetop and oven to a microwave and coffee maker. The breakfast nook offers a sunny spot for casual meals, while a separate dining area provides a larger table for family dinners and celebrations.



Community amenities

Step outside to a vibrant community hub featuring a clubhouse and lounge where you can relax with a book or meet neighbors. A fitness center and nearby gym keep you active, and the basketball court invites friendly games. The sparkling community pool offers a refreshing dip on warm days, and a grill area lets you enjoy outdoor cooking. Walking and biking trails wind through the neighborhood, leading you to nearby parks such as Lettuce Lake Park and Takomah Trail Park.

Located in Lutz, the unit is just minutes from popular attractions: USF (5 min), MOSI (8 min), Busch Gardens Tampa (11 min), and several scenic parks. Easy access to major roads makes exploring the Tampa Bay area effortless, while the quiet residential setting provides a peaceful retreat.



Perfect for families, groups, or anyone seeking a comfortable home base, this simply designed paradise blends convenience, comfort, and a touch of Florida charm for an unforgettable stay.

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. Our residents come home to community amenities like our lagoon-style pool, chalet-style clubhouse, huge fitness center with cardio and weight rooms, full-court basketball, Mac and PC computer lab, free printing, and so much more!

Very disappointed

We went 3 days with no AC, there was a leak coming from one of the locked closets. Smelled like cigarette smoke, holes in the wall, dirty sheets and pillow cases, even found a dirty diaper under one of the beds. One bed was broken. The pole was the best party but the maintenance and cleaning on this apartment was not good at all. I would not stay here again.

Family trip

We stayed at this location on our way to Tampa for a cruise. We were really impressed by not only the location, spacious rooms, cleanliness, amenities but kindness, honesty and prompt response of the owner. We would highly recommend and encourage anyone looking for a room in this area to stay here. Will stay again!!
