About this property
Cozy retreat w/pool, pet-friendly & patio
The Space:
Soft morning light filters through the first‑floor retreat, inviting you to stretch out and breathe in the calm of suburban Tampa Palms. As the day warms, the gentle hum of nearby neighborhoods blends with the scent of fresh‑cut grass, offering a quiet backdrop for family games or a relaxed afternoon nap. In the evening, the mild Florida air drifts onto the small patio, perfect for sipping a cool drink while the sky turns amber. This simple, budget‑friendly space lets you settle into a slower rhythm after exploring the city’s attractions.
Sleeping arrangements
Four spacious bedrooms each feature a queen bed and an attached full bathroom, giving each guest privacy and comfort. Neutral tones and uncluttered layouts create a soothing environment for rest after a day of adventure.
Indoor living
The large living area gathers everyone around a TV for movies or conversation, while a breakfast nook off the kitchen provides a casual spot for coffee. Step from the living room onto a patio with seating for two, where you can enjoy the mild Florida breeze.
Kitchen & dining
A full kitchen supplies the basics for quick breakfasts and relaxed dinners, and a separate dining area offers room for shared meals. A dedicated workspace and free Wi‑Fi support remote work or planning the next outing.
Laundry & essentials
A free washer and dryer, along with provided essentials, make longer stays effortless.
Community amenities
The surrounding community includes a shared pool, fitness center, basketball court, clubhouse, lounge areas, walking and biking trails, and a grill. These facilities let you swim, work out, or enjoy an outdoor barbecue without leaving the neighborhood. Free parking on the premises adds convenience for guests arriving by car.
Neighborhood
Set in Tampa Palms, the area blends suburban calm with easy access to restaurants, shops, and local attractions. A short drive brings you to USF, MOSI, Busch Gardens Tampa, Takomah Trail Park, and Lettuce Lake Park. Wooded streets and nearby riverfront areas, malls, and entertainment venues give you plenty of options for exploration.

Families, groups, or longer visits seeking a budget‑friendly, pet‑friendly home base with practical comforts and shared amenities that support both relaxation and everyday living.

Commercial vehicles, trailers, motorcycles, RVs, and similar vehicles are strictly prohibited anywhere in the community and are not eligible for parking passes.

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.
