Summary:
“The Florida Bungalow was the PERFECT spot for our group. Very spacious with a great backyard set up. Every detail was thought of and the space was cleaned spotless!” -Natasha
The Florida Bungalow is a charming Tampa retreat that beautifully captures the relaxed spirit of the Sunshine State, blending historic bungalow character with modern comfort and a private backyard oasis.
The Space:
Step inside this cozy 1920s bungalow and you’re immediately welcomed by its unique character and thoughtfully designed spaces created for comfort and connection. Beyond the inviting interior, the tropical backyard offers your own private sanctuary featuring a cowboy pool, hot tub, fire pit, and open-air deck surrounded by lush greenery. This is more than just a place to stay — it’s your own personal oasis!
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 retreat rather than a party or late-night event atmosphere.
We absolutely want guests to enjoy the outdoor spaces, pool, spa, and gathering areas throughout the day. However, because sound carries much farther outdoors at night than most guests realize — especially around pools, patios, and outdoor gathering spaces — we ask guests to be especially mindful of surrounding neighbors during evening hours.
Outdoor quiet hours are observed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM in accordance with City of Tampa guidelines. During this time, outdoor gathering activity should begin winding down as the evening continues indoors, and outdoor music, outdoor TV use, loud group socializing, and elevated noise levels should be avoided. Certain outdoor features also automatically power down at 10:00 PM nightly as part of the home’s quiet-hour settings.
Daytime activity should also remain respectful of the surrounding neighborhood. Amplified music, DJs, drinking games, yelling, disruptive outdoor gatherings, and party-style events are not permitted.
We love hosting guests who will enjoy the home while also helping us preserve a peaceful and respectful environment for the surrounding neighborhood. If that sounds like your group, we would be happy to host you
INDOORS:
As soon as you step foot into The Florida Bungalow, you are greeted by an open floor plan that seamlessly blends the living room, dining area, and kitchen into a space curated for comfort and connection.
The living room, adorned with tropical decorations, comfortable seating, and a large flat screen TV, flows effortlessly into the dining area. There, you’ll find a charming wooden table with a stunning chandelier that’s perfect for casual gatherings, family meals, and everything in between.
The kitchen complements the preceding spaces with its high quality, modern amenities and thoughtful design. Featuring sleek countertops, stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a kitchen island, it offers both functionality and character.
“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
OUTDOORS:
The inviting front porch, complete with comfortable seating and views of the charming neighborhood, is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or enjoy a good book as the day winds down.
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
