About this property

Cozy retreat & pet-friendly

The Space:

You step into a calm, comfortable space where the day moves at an easy pace and evenings invite you to slow down together. Mornings begin with coffee in a quiet kitchen nook, afternoons drift toward nearby parks and attractions, and nights unwind in a spacious living area made for shared moments. Nestled in a gated community in Lutz, this second‑floor retreat offers room to gather while still giving each guest a personal place to relax.



Sleeping arrangements

Four queen bedrooms each open onto its own full bathroom, providing private bathroom access for every bedroom. The layout comfortably sleeps eight, with fresh linens and essentials ready for a relaxed stay.



Kitchen & dining

A full kitchen and dining area sit at the heart of the home, inviting you to prepare simple meals or quick bites before heading out. A small patio off the living room offers a quiet outdoor spot for a coffee break or a sunset drink, and a BBQ grill is available for casual grilling.



Living space & work

The generous living area anchors the home, encouraging conversation and easy flow between the kitchen and dining space. A dedicated workspace and reliable wifi keep you connected for remote work or planning the day’s adventures, while a TV provides low‑key entertainment in the evenings.



Outdoor and community amenities

We do not provide access to the community's amenities.



Location

Conveniently located near USF, Busch Gardens, MOSI, and several local parks, the unit places you close to Tampa’s top attractions while remaining tucked inside a quiet residential neighborhood. Major roadways nearby make traveling around the area simple.



Access and parking

Self‑check‑in with a smart lock gives you exclusive access to the entire unit. Free parking is provided on the premises in visitor‑labeled spaces on a first‑come, first‑served basis.

The mattress is beyond needing replaced in the last bedroom in the back. You sink down in the middle of it, and have a hard time getting out. It’s extremely uncomfortable. The ice maker in the fridge doesn’t turn off on its own, so it overflows with ice cubes. Outdoor patio furniture could be provided for the patio instead of an indoor futon. I would recommend using tilex cleaner around the shower doors where the mildew buildup is present. The shower in the last bedroom could’ve been cleaned better. Also, the vacuum needs to be ran. We kept getting long black hair stuck to our feet. Outside of that, it was sufficient.

Great location, and great amenities

The guys enjoyed their stay here, it’s is as advertised. The pool area is excellent. Would give 5 stars but the AC kept going out for 2 of the 4 weeks they were there and 2 of the beds were broken. But the management company was very responsive and helped deal with the issues.we will book again should the boys have to go back.
