About this property

Family condo w/pool & near Busch Gardens

The Space:

You step into a bright, open living area where the whole family can spread out, hear the soft hum of the city outside, and feel the ease of a home that’s ready for both quick getaways and longer stays. A small patio off the living room invites you to sip morning coffee while the kids linger inside, and the nearby community spaces promise easy afternoons of play and relaxation.



Sleeping arrangements

Four queen bedrooms each enjoy their own full bathroom, giving every guest privacy and comfort. The rooms are spacious enough for families to unwind after a day of exploring, and the consistent queen‑size beds ensure a familiar night’s rest.



Living space

The comfy living area seats everyone together, with a large sofa and plenty of room for games or movie nights. A breakfast nook tucked into the kitchen and a separate dining area make family meals feel relaxed and communal. The small patio with outdoor seating for two adds a quiet spot for evening drinks or a quick snack.



Kitchen & dining

A full kitchen is stocked with the essentials you need to whip up simple meals, from a coffee maker to basic cookware. The layout lets you move easily between cooking, the breakfast nook, and the dining table, keeping the flow smooth for busy mornings or leisurely brunches.



Community amenities

Step down to the shared clubhouse where a lounge and fitness center await, plus a basketball court for a quick game. The community pool offers a refreshing dip, and a grill area is ready for casual barbecues. A nearby gym provides additional workout options, while walking and biking trails weave through the area for outdoor exercise.



Location & nearby attractions

Located on the third floor in Lutz, the unit sits just minutes from popular spots: USF (5 min, 2.2 mi), MOSI (8 min, 4.2 mi), Busch Gardens Tampa (11 min, 4.5 mi), Takomah Trail Park (10 min, 5.1 mi), and Lettuce Lake Park (13 min, 5.9 mi). These easy drives let you explore cultural sites, theme parks, and natural retreats without long travel times.



Perfect for families or groups seeking a budget‑friendly base, this simply designed paradise blends comfortable living spaces with convenient community features, all set within a short reach of Lutz’s top attractions.



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.

The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized between each guest. We ensure that our cleaners are committed to the highest standards of cleanliness.

Lauren W.

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
