Availability update (November 10, 2026): Escape Tampa Bay’s rentals page currently lists this Grove Duplex as its only available home. It is $1,295 per month, all-inclusive, with a December 1, 2026 move-in date. Contact sales@escapetampabay.com or see the current rentals page. The community is sold out of homes for sale, and Escape Tampa Bay has no tiny houses for sale right now.
The Grove Duplex at Escape Tampa Bay is a fully furnished, all-electric tiny house in a gated community in the Tampa Bay area. It sits in the Grove among olive trees and is duplex in style, with a large screened porch and extra storage. Inside you get a full kitchen, a washer/dryer combo, a built-in queen bed with drawers and a full-size shower, all for one monthly payment that covers electric, internet, water, sewer and more.

Rent and Lease Terms at a Glance
The all-inclusive rent is what sets this home apart from most rentals, because the usual extras are already rolled into one predictable number. That makes budgeting simple, which matters when you are choosing small-space living partly for its financial clarity. Escape Tampa Bay lists these terms:
- Rent: $1,295 per month, all-inclusive
- Available: December 1, 2026
- Included: electric, internet, water, sewer, garbage, private screened porch, extra storage, landscaping, gated security and parking
- Lease: 9 to 12 months, and the community says one-year leases renew automatically if there are no issues
- Occupancy: up to two people
- Pets: not allowed
- Screening: background checks on all renters
- Deposit: one month’s rent up front; there is no rent-to-own program
A Screened Porch That Doubles the Living Space
The large screened porch is the standout feature of the Grove Duplex. In Florida’s climate a screened porch works as a second living room for much of the year, so the home feels bigger than its footprint. The porch has room for lounge seating and a small table for meals, and the listing adds extra storage out there for bikes or gear, which keeps clutter out of the interior.

A Kitchen That Packs a Full Setup Into a Small Wall
The kitchen runs along one side of the main room with stone countertops, custom cabinetry and energy-efficient appliances. The washer/dryer combo is built right into the cabinet run, so there is no separate laundry corner eating floor space. Windows over the sink bring in daylight, which helps a galley-style kitchen feel open rather than boxed in.

An Open Layout With Flip-Tables, a Built-In Bed and Smart TV
The main room is one open space that changes with the time of day. The living area has flip-tables that serve as a work desk or a dining table and fold out of the way when you need floor space. The queen bed is built in with drawer storage and USB outlets, and a Smart TV is included. Because the home is furnished, you can move in with little more than your clothes. The photos show a wall-mounted mini-split for heating and cooling.

A Full Bathroom With a Real Shower
Many small homes compromise on the bathroom, but the Grove Duplex has a full-size shower, a large mirror and a Toto toilet. Upper cabinets and a wood shelf add storage above the fixtures, so towels and toiletries have a place without crowding the floor.
