Charming Bungalow | HotTub, Cowboy Pool & Fire Pit
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:
Our home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood and is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing stay. In accordance with City of Tampa regulations, we observe quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM, meaning no outdoor noise, loud voices, or music during these hours.
If your trip plans involve late-night gatherings, loud parties, or amplified music, our home will not be a good fit.
We love hosting guests who will enjoy the home and treat the neighborhood with care. If that sounds like you, we’d be delighted 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

The house was extremely well maintained and fully stocked with essential items, including a coffee bar! The bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed being able to use the fire pit and appreciated that there was wood available to use. Finally, the VRBO host was very attentive throughout our stay and was able to help accommodate our checkout request, which was very generous.

This is a beautiful property. The house was clean, well-appointed, and perfectly decorated. The only trouble we had was that the wi-fi was unreliable in the afternoons and evenings. The host visited twice to remedy the problem. Communication was quick and courteous. Check-in and check-out were easy.

The host responded to my questions in a timely manner. The property was amazing! The photos did not capture the love the host put into designing the property. It was warm and inviting; a home away from home.

Highly recommend Cozy Bungalow
From start to finish I had a great experience. They are quick to respond and the guide provided was perfect. The house was very clean, esthetically pleasing, and had extra accommodations such as a s’mores bar, wood for a fire, family games, laundry soap/dyer sheet and the little things you don’t immediately think of when traveling. The backyard was spacious and the pool and hot tub were an added bonus. There are beaches close and travel to stores was very resonable. When we are in the area again we will definitely look into staying here again.
