The Space:
Sunlight streams through the windows as you step into a spacious living area that invites the whole family to gather, share stories, and unwind after a day of exploring Lutz. A gentle breeze drifts onto the small patio, where a pair of chairs await a quiet morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The simple, thoughtfully designed layout feels like a home away from home, offering both room to spread out and cozy corners to relax.

Four queen bedrooms each enjoy their own full bathroom, giving every guest privacy and convenience. The comfortable queen beds promise restful nights, while the separate baths eliminate morning line‑ups.

Off the living room, a small patio with outdoor seating for two provides a private spot to step outside without leaving the comfort of the unit.

Step into the clubhouse and lounge for relaxed evenings, or head to the fitness center for a workout. The community pool invites a refreshing dip, and the basketball court offers friendly competition. A walking and biking trail winds nearby, perfect for morning jogs or evening strolls, and a grill area is available for outdoor cooking. A nearby gym adds extra options for staying active.

Guest Access:
During your stay, you will have complete and exclusive access to the entire home.
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.
