Moving to Tampa Bay? Why Furnished Housing is the Best 30+ Day Option

Relocating to a new city is exciting, but finding the right place to live can be stressful. If you’re moving to Tampa Bay for work, family, or a fresh start, you may not want to lock yourself into a long-term lease right away. That’s where furnished housing for 30 nights or more can make the transition easier.

Why People Are Moving to Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay has quickly become one of Florida’s most popular relocation spots. With a growing job market, top-ranked hospitals, and plenty of sunshine, it attracts professionals, families, and remote workers alike.

The Housing Challenge During Relocation

Traditional housing options don’t always work well when you’re in transition:

  • Hotels are expensive for month-long stays
  • Airbnb’s can be inconsistent and loaded with extra fees
  • Standard leases often require 12 months or more

Why Furnished Housing Works Best

Choosing a furnished rental with a 30+ night minimum gives you:

  • Fully furnished, move-in ready homes
  • Utilities and Wi-Fi included
  • Flexible terms without long commitments
  • More affordable rates than hotels
  • A true home environment during your transition

Start Your Move the Easy Way

Relocating doesn’t have to mean living out of a suitcase. With furnished housing in Tampa Bay, you’ll have comfort, flexibility, and peace of mind while you get settled.

“We four couples take an annual golfing, fun trip to a resort. This year we chose Emerald Green Resort in Tampa, Fla. It was a most pleasant experience. JR, the Resort host arranged everything perfectly for golf and recommendations for restaurants, The accomodations were first class. There are numerous activities available at the resort we did not have time to take advantage of. The location is centrally located for easy access to anywhere in the Tampa area”

“Nice resort hidden away within a golf community. The clubhouse offers good food and drinks. The splash pad and pool are very large. The rooms are like apartments with a small dining area. Had a great time there with our family and friends and would recommend it.

Exceeded Expectations!

“My husband and I stayed at Emerald Greens Condos while my husband had treatments at Moffitt. A friend had suggested that we try this place for our stay in Tampa rather than a hotel. It was a perfect place for us in a very nice area with Publix and many restaurants nearby. Our condo was a two bedroom/two bath with washer and dryer on the second floor. The front door to the building is only accessible with your room key so we felt very safe and secure. The common areas were also very clean. Parking is right out front with a short walk…Our place was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Our bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. There is a golf course across the parking lot with a clubhouse… The food was very good. The golf course was open so my husband was able to play golf a few times. It was a very nice well maintained course. It would be a great place for a golf getaway. This property is nestled in a really nice area with lots of sidewalk so I could take my morning walks.
I would definitely stay here again.
