🦩LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
Seminole Heights is coming in hot with fun, new, edgy eateries, bars & breweries that are attracting people from all over the world. Seminole Heights has been continually voted "Best of Tampa", as one of the oldest and most popular neighborhoods of Tampa. Well known by locals for its beautiful 1920's Craftsman Bungalows, & its amazing food & beer scene, it has been voted as one of the “best places to live” in Florida due to it’s deep roots in Tampa history & eclectic food & drink scene, and Flamingo Haven is nestled, within walking distance, right at the heart of it all. 💕
When you stay at the Flamingo Haven, you will feel this charm the city holds, as you walk the neighborhoods, along the river, or surround yourself with the century old past from the beautiful bungalows that make up this tight-knit community. You can feel the 120yr old history through the architecture of the ancient bungalows that flank the Hillsborough River.
BAKERS & CHEF’S-KITCHEN: Baker’s delight in this kitchen and come from far and wide to practice their craft here, and surprise their families with made from home dishes while traveling! It’s home away from home! Don’t feel like cooking? No problem! Guests rave about the exotic flavors & that includes breweries and wineries alike. Finding a farm to table is not unusual, and is in fact, the norm. While chain restaurants are not. The only chain restaurant you will find here is Starbucks.
Once you are here, you will see why it’s so popular. Drinking your first hand made kava on the front porch while watch the blue jays teach their young to fly between the grand oaks has a way of making a lasting impression. It definitely does not disappoint.
GETTING AROUND:
This home is within walking distance of many of the areas best bars and restaurants. But, if you feel like heading out further into the Tampa Bay and beyond, Uber and Lyft are easy options for getting around as they are available 24/7/365 due to the close proximity to the airport and the city.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host
My family and I hail from Arizona. The week COVID hit the U.S., we closed on this house, which was intended to be our second commuter home since I was working in Tampa at the time. Due to stay-at-home orders, my teenage daughter and I ended up living here full-time, while my husband, and now co-host, Jeff, returned to Arizona to be with our other daughter and dogs. We were hoping to “wait out” COVID, but life had other plans.
That first week, I had nothing and bought everything online—so many flattened boxes piled up that they reached the roof! To pass the time, I threw myself into decorating, inspired by my favorite bird—the flamingo 🦩.
Eventually, I convinced Jeff to sell our Arizona home and move to beautiful Tampa Bay. I fell in love with the lush, tropical landscape, the beaches, and the warm, humid air—especially the thunderstorms ⛈️.
Our daughter then shared her dream to attend Sarasota Military Academy in Manatee County, prompting us to relocate. Once there, she joined the Rifle Team, a very expensive sport, and we decided to rent out this home to fund and support her passion, rather than sell it. With my background in Customer Experience, we focused on creating a unique experience for our guests—something that would stand out from the typical corporate rentals.
For the past three years, our daughter has been competing in JROTC Airgun and Jr. Olympics events. Last winter, she placed 7th at the Jr. Olympics and earned an offer to join The Citadel’s Rifle Team. We’re working hard to support her as she pursues her dream of competing in the next Olympics over the next four years.
Thank you for being our flamazing guests and supporting a local business that’s helping to make dreams come true.
