A community pool provides a refreshing retreat just steps from the unit, while a nearby gym lets you keep up with your routine.

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 Palmsâ 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 classicsâfrom a delicious food court and large movie theater to major department stores and popular retailers. A few miles further south, youâll 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.

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