The Space:
Sunlight streams through the windows as you step onto a quiet patio built for two, inviting you to sip morning coffee while the neighborhood awakens. The gentle hum of nearby trails and the scent of fresh‑cut grass set a relaxed tone for a stay that feels both spacious and cozy. Inside, the open living area welcomes the whole family to gather, share meals, and unwind after a day of exploring Lutz.
Sleeping Arrangements
- Four queen bedrooms, each paired with its own full bathroom, give every guest a private retreat. The comfortable beds promise restful nights, and the layout keeps the space feeling open yet intimate.
Living Space
- A generous living room accommodates the entire family, with plenty of seating for movie nights or board games. A breakfast nook in the kitchen and a separate dining area make it easy to enjoy meals together. Step off the living room onto the small patio, where outdoor seating for two offers a quiet spot for evening drinks.
Kitchen & Dining
- The full kitchen is stocked with the essentials you need to prepare simple meals, from a stovetop to basic cookware. A convenient breakfast nook lets you start the day with a quick bite, while the dining area provides a larger table for family gatherings.

The complex also features a clubhouse, lounge, fitness center, basketball court, walking and biking trail, and a grill area for casual outdoor cooking. A free washer and dryer are available for longer stays, making laundry hassle‑free.

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.
