The Space:
Soft morning light pours into the open living space, inviting you to stretch out and settle in at your own pace. As the day unfolds, the kitchen aromas mingle with the gentle hum of conversation, creating a relaxed backdrop for shared meals. Evening settles over the patio, where a quiet moment of fresh air follows the day’s explorations. The home feels both spacious enough for gathering and thoughtfully arranged so each guest can find a personal nook.
**Sleeping arrangements**
Four bedrooms each hold a queen bed and its own full bathroom, giving every guest a private place to rest and unwind. The layout comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, making it ideal for families, friends, or small groups traveling together.
**Kitchen & dining**
The kitchen is equipped for quick breakfasts or simple home‑cooked meals, and a dining area with a breakfast nook makes gathering for food effortless. Everything you need for longer stays or short visits is within easy reach.
**Living area & workspace**
An open living room offers comfortable seating for downtime, conversation, or a movie night. A dedicated workspace and reliable Wi‑Fi let you stay connected or handle remote tasks without missing the relaxed vibe of the home.
**Outdoor space**
Step onto the patio for a breath of fresh air or a quiet pause between activities. The third‑floor balcony provides a simple spot to enjoy the surrounding views and unwind.
**Community amenities**
Shared facilities include a pool, gym, clubhouse, lounge areas, basketball court, walking and biking trails, and outdoor grilling spaces. These amenities are conveniently located within the community and available throughout your stay.
**Added comforts**
Air conditioning and heating keep the interior comfortable year‑round. An in‑unit washer and dryer, self check‑in with a smart lock, and free on‑premises parking add extra ease. The property is pet‑friendly, so your four‑legged companion can join the adventure.

If you’re looking to shop or catch a movie, University Mall is just south of the neighborhood and has a food court, a large theater, and plenty of well-known stores. Head a bit farther south and you’ll find popular attractions like Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island.
