The Space:
You step onto a small patio and feel the gentle Florida breeze while the kids laugh in the spacious living room, where a comfy sofa invites you to unwind after a day of exploring nearby parks. The scent of fresh coffee drifts from the breakfast nook, and the soft hum of the air‑conditioner creates a calm backdrop for family conversations. Every detail is set up for a relaxed, budget‑friendly stay that feels like home.
Sleeping arrangements
Four queen bedrooms each enjoy their own full bathroom, giving every guest privacy and convenience. The beds are dressed with fresh linens, and the layout on the second floor keeps the sleeping spaces quiet and separate from the lively common areas.
Outdoor living
Step out onto the modest patio with seating for two, perfect for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The community pool offers a refreshing splash on warm days, while the clubhouse and lounge provide relaxed spots to meet neighbors. A nearby gym and a fitness center let you keep up with workouts, and the basketball court, walking/biking trail, and grill area add active options just steps from the door.
Kitchen & dining
The full kitchen is stocked with the essentials you need to whip up simple meals, from a stovetop to a microwave and a range of cookware. A breakfast nook tucked into the kitchen makes casual mornings easy, and a dedicated dining area lets the whole family sit together for meals or game night.
Neighborhood & nearby attractions
You’re just minutes from local highlights: the University of South Florida is a 5‑minute drive, the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) is 8 minutes away, and Busch Gardens Tampa is reachable in 11 minutes. Nature lovers will enjoy Takomah Trail Park (10 minutes) and Lettuce Lake Park (13 minutes), both offering easy access to walking trails and wildlife viewing.
