About this house rental

The Convention center and Downtown is 20 minutes (13 miles) away, Bush Gardens, Moffitt and USF are 6 - 7 miles away. One of Dr Beach's top beaches is 25 miles away, and you can reach Disney or the Space Coast within a short drive. The airport is about 20 minutes down the veterans....

Our Lutz Cottage has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and sleeps eight in about two thousand square feet. It has a pool with a screened lanai with grill and covered sitting area -- so the mosquitoes will not carry you away as you enjoy the great Florida climate.

If you are the out-doors-y type, this is where you would sip your wine. If you are Canadian, this is where you would swim in the dead of winter while Floridians would not dip a toe in the water for six months!

Within walking distance is our Tampa Cottage, a four bedroom, two bath home that sleeps seven which large groups can rent too:
VRBO Listing #732919

And next door, our Tampa Bungalow, a four bedroom, two bath home that sleeps six:
VRBO Listing #841872

So if you have twelve golfing friends who each want their own bedroom, we have three houses that fit the bill!

The cottage has groceries and shopping close by in several directions. Dale Mabry highway with more shops than an Indian bazaar is only two miles East as is the Veterans Expressway. Three miles South West is I-275, a quick jump to Downtown, Busch Gardens, USF, St Pete and Clearwater.

Our Lutz Cottage has two king size beds and four twin beds in four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

You will love the master bathroom with its whirlpool tub, glass shower and his and her sinks.

Your guests can slum it in the spare bathroom while you enjoy the bubbles in the the jet tub. Now, don't turn on the switch to the whirlpool until the water in the tub is three inches over the back jet, or there will be a cleanup on isle nine as the water will shoot clear out of the tub!

You must agree to be smarter than the tub!

Sitting out on the lanai by the pool, you can look out at the large back yard and the trees, and if you want to throw a ball or walk the dog, this would be the place to do it.

When escaping the Florida heat, you can relax inside in the AC, and surf the web on our cottage WiFi, or watch Netflix movies on our 48 inch smart TV.

Out front, there is plenty of parking for your relatives on the driveway.

The cottage is fully equipped, so just bring your clothes and food. We supply paper towels, coffee filters and more. There is a tea kettle and a laundry room with a washer/dryer and ironing board if you stay for a while.

If you are an exercise fanatic, there are very pleasant and quiet streets that are great for walking and if you are a glutton for punishment, jogging. There is a great five mile route that we routinely cycle here too.

We have a custom manual detailing area attractions, beaches, restaurants and information about the house for you when you arrive.

Come and stay at our Lutz Cottage!

I wish I had planned a longer stay. The place was plenty spacious, and I loved being out on the lanai, still a little too cold for swimming, but quite relaxing and pleasant. Lots of great food and activities all around. Owner was exceptionally helpful and pleasant.

This property was just fantastic. Very well-maintained clean, and well furnished. We couldn’t ask for more and will definitely return to rent at this property again. The host was just as wonderful as a PROPERTY and could not be more helpful. We highly recommend both!

Needs Improvement

Needs Improvement

We stayed not as a vacation but of necessity while our home was under repair. Two issues 1.). The rugs were dirty so my wife rolled them up. The floor was dirty underneath to the point that one had to wear shoes or wash your feet. 2.). The internet connection was slow and weak. The under lying carrier was Spectrum. Their speed is both substandard and as a cable service the node is shared and the lag time long. Additionally the WiFi router is old and slow. As such I was partly able to compensate by adding my own WiFi router. As I was working remotely during the stay that was necessary.

This place was amazing! It was near everything we wanted. The owner Jonathan was great. We had a couple of questions when we first got there and he answered them quickly for us. If we are ever in the Tampa area again we will definitely be repeat customers! The only thing we would suggest is some tv’s in the bedrooms and maybe a radio.

Get spoiled in this Cottage. Beautiful home in a great location.

Get spoiled in this Cottage. Beautiful home in a great location.

The cottage was more than we expected. The layout was open and charming. The pool was a added benefit as well as the covered pool area to keep out bugs ect from us. This cottage sleeps 8 people and would be a great for a large family with kids. When we looked at getting a motel or hotel rooms this was way more cheaper and you feel more at home. Everything was included with this cottage. All you had to bring was yourself - clothes and food. The cottage came fully stock with all dishes - silver ware - microwave - towels ect. Plenty of parking. We will minutes away from everything in Tampa. We stayed from Oct 24 - Oct 29 and the weather was great with the temps in the 80's. The owner Jonathan was available if you needed anything. If my family stay in Florida again in this area - we would stay here again hands down. Jeff & Donna - Minnesota
