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 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.

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.

Location Great ... Amenities TERRIBLE! Front door battery dead so couldn't get in. LR: Fan didn't work. Only 1 pool card worked. No WIFI password provided & host had a hard time finding it to provide for us.Kitchen: No pans, no hot pads, no strainer, no containers for food. One stove burner not working. Had to go to Dollar Store to buy all these things so we could cook. Paper towel holder fell off wall. Bedrooms: mattresses terrible w/ springs poking us in our backs. No mattress pads, one thin sheet & one thin top blanket. No heavier blankets. Had to go to Salvation Army to buy blankets. Bathrooms: ZERO water pressure in showers & toilets. Would take several minutes just to get wet or get shampoo out of hair. Toilets would not flush - bought 2 kinds of plungers that week to get them to flush. One toilet seat broken.Washing machine: Only works on deep water settings, not auto-sensing. Took us awhile to figure this out. Last load the washing machine stuck on & would not shut off. Had to unplug it to avoid the motor burning up & causing fire.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I wish we had seen a review like this before booking.The listing advertised pool and gym access, which turned out not to be available. The host did provide a partial refund before arrival for this, but those amenities were a major reason we selected this property.Once we arrived, it became clear the photos in the listing do not accurately represent the current condition of the condo. The unit feels very old and poorly maintained, with outdated, mismatched furniture and a random assortment of towels rather than a standard set provided for guests. Cleanliness was also a concern. The bathrooms had a strong unpleasant odor upon arrival, the bathroom rugs had visible stains, one bathroom mirror had black smudges on it, and the ceiling fans had noticeable staining. There are also several areas in the kitchen and bathrooms where caulk is missing, which made the space feel poorly maintained. The beds were also very uncomfortable and appear to be extremely worn out. You could both feel and hear the springs through the mattress whenever someone moved, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.We also experienced problems accessing the unit. We paid an additional 50 for early check-in, but the electronic lock did not work when we arrived. We spent about 25 minutes outside trying to gain access, which cut into the early check-in time we had paid for. The shower water pressure was extremely weak, making it difficult to shower comfortably. Overall, the listing felt misleading
