The Space:

Soft morning light filters through this first-floor retreat as you ease into a slower rhythm, surrounded by the calm of suburban Tampa Palms.

With room for your whole group, the unit offers a simple, comfortable setting designed for a relaxing time.

Indoor living

The large living area brings everyone together, whether you gather for movies on the TV or spread out for a cozy evening in. A breakfast nook sits just off the full kitchen, and a separate dining area gives you space to enjoy shared meals. From the living room, step onto a small patio with outdoor seating for two, a quiet spot to enjoy the mild Florida air.

The full kitchen is equipped for simple meal preparation, giving you flexibility for both quick breakfasts and relaxed dinners. A dedicated workspace and free wifi support remote work or planning the next day’s outing.

A free washer and dryer, along with provided essentials, help you settle in for longer stays with ease.

Within the surrounding community, you will find a pool, a fitness center, a basketball court, a clubhouse, lounge areas, a walking and biking trail, and a grill. These shared facilities offer additional ways to enjoy your time, whether you prefer a swim, a workout, or a relaxed afternoon outdoors. Free parking on premises adds convenience for guests arriving by car.



Neighborhood

Set in Tampa Palms, the area blends suburban calm with the convenience of nearby restaurants, shops, and local attractions. You are within a short drive of destinations such as USF, MOSI, Busch Gardens Tampa, Takomah Trail Park, and Lettuce Lake Park, giving you many ways to shape your stay. The neighborhood’s wooded streets and easy access to riverfront areas, malls, and entertainment offer plenty to explore.



Perfect for

Guests seeking a budget-friendly getaway with simple comforts, pet-friendly stays, and space for the entire family. Longer visits feel natural here, supported by practical amenities and a setting designed for both rest and day-to-day living.



Guest Access:

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.



Getting Around:

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.
