The Space:

You step into a simply designed paradise where the open living space invites the whole family to unwind after a day of exploring Lutz. Sunlight filters through the first‑floor windows, highlighting the comfortable furnishings and the small patio that beckons you for a quiet coffee for two. The scent of a home‑cooked breakfast drifts from the kitchen nook, setting the tone for relaxed, shared meals.



Sleeping arrangements

Four queen bedrooms each enjoy a private full bathroom, giving every guest a personal retreat. The queen beds provide ample space for a restful night, and the layout keeps the bedrooms quiet and separate from the main living area.



Living area

The large living area comfortably seats the entire family, with plush seating that encourages movie nights or board games. A dining table nearby makes it easy to gather for meals, while the adjacent patio offers outdoor seating for two, perfect for a sunrise tea or evening wind‑down.



Kitchen & dining

A full kitchen is stocked with the essentials you need to prepare simple meals, from a stovetop and oven to basic cookware and utensils. The breakfast nook within the kitchen creates a cozy spot for casual dining, and the separate dining area provides space for larger gatherings.



Community amenities

Step outside your door to a range of shared facilities. A community pool invites a splash on warm afternoons, while the clubhouse and lounge offer relaxed spaces to meet neighbors. Stay active in the fitness center, shoot hoops on the basketball court, or explore the walking and biking trail that winds through the property. A grill area is available for casual outdoor cooking, and a nearby gym adds extra options for staying fit.

Conveniently located on the first floor, the unit is a short drive from several highlights: the University of South Florida (5 minutes, 2.2 mi), MOSI (8 minutes, 4.2 mi), Busch Gardens Tampa (11 minutes, 4.5 mi), Takomah Trail Park (10 minutes, 5.1 mi), and Lettuce Lake Park (13 minutes, 5.9 mi). These nearby spots make it easy to enjoy both cultural attractions and natural scenery.



Perfect for families or groups seeking a budget‑friendly stay, this spacious yet cozy home provides all the essentials for a comfortable and relaxing getaway in Lutz.



Guest Access:

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.
