We came to the Plant City area for a wedding celebration. We only stayed 2 nights and it was perfect for our needs. It was pet friendly and the view out back around the lake was nice for walking our two pups.

Beautiful and quiet cottage nestled in a lovely neighborhood. We especially appreciated all of the extra attention to detail — fluffy towels, well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, and gorgeous view! We also enjoyed the miles of walking trails and friendly pups and owners on our walks. This host literally thought of everything, and we are looking forward to another stay. Be sure to check out Parkside Strawberry Farm and Market nearby. The strawberry shortcake was divine!

About the host

Hosted by Brigittia Long

Host profile image
Hello from Plant City!

We're Mark and Brigittia, originally from Maryland and Northern Virginia, who now call beautiful Plant City, Florida home.

When we're not welcoming guests, you'll usually find us spending time with our family, traveling, exploring Florida, enjoying concerts, visiting theme parks, taking cruises, or hanging out with our dog Baxter and our cats. We love discovering new places and understand how important it is to have a comfortable place to relax after a day of adventure.

We became hosts because we wanted to create the kind of stay we enjoy ourselves—a clean, quiet, comfortable, and pet-friendly retreat where guests can truly feel at home. Whether you're visiting for the Florida Strawberry Festival, exploring Central Florida, traveling for work, or simply passing through, we hope you'll enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and convenient location of our private guest suite.

One of our favorite parts of hosting is meeting wonderful people from across the country and around the world. Every guest has a unique story, and it's been a pleasure sharing a little piece of our home with so many amazing travelers.

We look forward to welcoming you and helping make your stay in Plant City a memorable one!

Why they chose this property

One of the things we love most about our neighborhood is how peaceful and relaxing it feels while still being close to everything you need. Nestled among beautiful mature oak trees draped with Spanish moss, it's the perfect place to slow down, enjoy your morning coffee, or unwind after a busy day exploring Central Florida.

Although we're just minutes from shopping, restaurants, Interstate 4, and the Florida Strawberry Festival Grounds, the neighborhood has a quiet, residential feel that's hard to find. In the evenings, the gated entrance adds an extra sense of privacy, and you'll often hear birds singing or catch a beautiful Florida sunset from the nearby lake.

Plant City is known as the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World, but it's also a wonderful central location for day trips. You're only about an hour from Orlando's theme parks, the Gulf Coast beaches, downtown Tampa, and Lakeland, making our guest suite an ideal home base for both relaxation and adventure.

What makes this property unique

We designed our private guest suite to feel less like a hotel room and more like your own peaceful home away from home. From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed by a beautifully landscaped private entrance inspired by Florida's coastal charm, creating a relaxing first impression before you even step inside.

Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed suite with a comfortable queen bedroom featuring an ensuite bathroom, a separate living room with a dedicated workspace, a fully equipped kitchenette, complimentary coffee and tea, high-speed Wi-Fi, and streaming entertainment. One feature that truly sets us apart is having two full bathrooms, offering extra comfort and convenience that many one-bedroom accommodations simply don't provide.

Our quiet location offers the best of both worlds—peaceful surroundings in a neighborhood that is gated each evening, yet only minutes from shopping, restaurants, the Florida Strawberry Festival Grounds, and easy access to I-4 for day trips to Tampa, Lakeland, Orlando, and Florida's beautiful beaches.

We're also proudly pet friendly, because we know your four-legged family members deserve a vacation too. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway, a business trip, visiting family, or exploring Central Florida, we've created a space where you can relax, recharge, and truly feel at home.

We strive to provide the kind of stay we'd want for our own family—comfortable, exceptionally clean, thoughtfully equipped, and memorable from the moment you arrive until it's time to head home.
