About this property

Spacious home w/pool & BBQ near Busch Gardens

The Space:

You step onto a quiet patio as the Florida sun filters through the trees, and the gentle hum of the gated community invites you to unwind. Mornings begin with coffee in a tucked‑away kitchen nook, while afternoons drift toward nearby parks and attractions. Evenings settle in a spacious living area built for shared moments, where the soft glow of the TV and the scent of a grill‑cooked dinner signal the perfect end to the day.



Sleeping arrangements

- Four queen bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, provide private comfort for up to eight guests. Fresh linens and bathroom essentials are supplied for a relaxed stay.



Kitchen & dining

- A full kitchen opens onto a dining space, offering everything needed to prepare simple meals or quick bites before heading out. A washer and dryer sit within the unit for added convenience on longer visits.



Outdoor living

- A small patio off the living room offers a simple spot to sit and enjoy a change of scenery. A shared BBQ grill and balcony area let you savor outdoor meals whenever the mood strikes.



Community amenities

- Guests have access to a shared community pool and gym, as well as walking and biking trails, a basketball court, clubhouse, and lounge. These facilities are available within the gated property, providing options for recreation and relaxation.



Work & connectivity

- High‑speed wifi and a dedicated workspace make remote work or planning easy, while a TV offers entertainment for quieter evenings.



Location

- Situated in Lutz, the home sits near USF, Busch Gardens, MOSI, and several local parks. Major roadways nearby simplify travel into Tampa or the surrounding area, keeping popular attractions within easy reach while the neighborhood remains quiet and residential.

Pet policy

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.

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.
