Westchase is a master-planned community in northwestern Hillsborough County, combining residential neighborhoods, shopping, dining, recreation, and green space within easy reach of Tampa and northern Pinellas County. Its location near Oldsmar and Upper Tampa Bay places Westchase at a natural crossroads between the Tampa area and the Gulf Coast communities to the west.
Much of Westchase was designed around interconnected neighborhoods, parks, walking and biking areas, community recreation, and convenient neighborhood shopping. West Park Village adds a more walkable town-center atmosphere with restaurants, businesses, and gathering places incorporated directly into the surrounding residential community.
Westchase also benefits from its position along major routes such as Linebaugh Avenue and Countryway Boulevard, with nearby connections making it easy to travel toward Tampa, Oldsmar, Safety Harbor, and northern Pinellas County. Head west toward Oldsmar and the landscape begins transitioning toward the waterfront communities of Upper Tampa Bay, while continuing into northern Pinellas brings Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs within reach.
For Westchase residents looking to turn a trip toward the Gulf Coast into a day of shopping, dining, and exploring, the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks offer a distinctive destination. It’s also where the original Cottonseed Casual Wear has welcomed Florida residents and visitors since 1987, offering men’s and women’s casual clothing with color, comfort, and a relaxed tropical personality.
Since 1987, Cottonseed Casual Wear has focused on a different kind of casual wardrobe—comfortable enough for everyday Florida life, but with enough color, pattern, and personality to stand apart from basic casual clothing.
For men, Bamboo Cay brings a distinctive tropical influence to the collection with island-inspired shirts featuring embroidered designs and details. They’re comfortable enough for a relaxed weekend while still looking put together for dinner, entertaining, travel, or an informal evening out.
Women can discover colorful Jess N Jane tops, artistic prints, dresses, lightweight separates, comfortable hoodies, and accessories. The variety makes it easy to find clothing that works for an active Florida day without giving up individual style.
The original Cottonseed Casual Wear remains at the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, where the store has been located since 1987. For Westchase shoppers, it’s the more natural of Cottonseed’s two destinations and an easy addition to a day spent exploring Tarpon Springs and the surrounding Gulf Coast.
Cottonseed now also has a second location on Corey Avenue in St. Pete Beach, serving shoppers throughout southern Pinellas County and the beach communities.
