John and I have painstakingly renovated this wonderful 100 year old house and have made sure everything has been done to impeccable standards. We took our time and made it a family adventure. There isn't one aspect of the property that hasn't been touched, upgraded or redesigned. There is a story behind every room and the decorating reflects our family's history. The reference to "Captain" has multiple meanings, John's Dad was a US Navy Captain, My Dad was an Airline Captain and the original owner of the house was a fishing Captain that allowed his crew to live upstairs, while he and his wife lived downstairs. All of our wonderful neighbors are of Greek heritage and most were born and raised in the house they still live in. They watched us bring this property back from years of neglect. John and I joke that we should've filmed a hit TV show, named "The Bickersons build a house". The end result is an amazing, comfortable home we are sure you'll want to come back to time and time again.

I am a licensed realtor in my "off" hours and had a client who was interested in flipping houses in the Tarpon Springs area because he knew the history and value of this remarkable area and would make any property a solid investment. I took my buyer to the house and he said " Wow, this is a really cool house, but there is just too much work to do here and it will take too long and cost a fortune to bring it back to life. " While he was saying that, I was falling in love with the house and wanted John to look at it. We instantly shared a vision. So we bought it and started the monumental task that became our dream and passion. 10 years later, we look back and know that we might've changed our minds many times and had many arguments between us that tested our love, but in the end, we both know the vision we had so many years ago has been greatly exceeded by the finished project. We both love smelling the nearby bakeries, walking through an art fair, doing a "wine walk", or taking our boat out into the Gulf. Someday, we will retire and call this our home base, but until then, we want to share it with people who will also fall in love with what we saw in the house, the neighborhood and the city. Enjoy! OPA!!!!!!

There are so many things to list as unique benefits, but one that most all of our guests will share are the outstanding selection of amazing restaurants all within walking distance, Our favorite is Rusty Bellies for seafood, and there are so many very authentic Greek restaurants to choose from along with brew pubs, tap houses and sports bars to fit anyone's tastes! Walking to everything will help you see all the sights and burn off some of the calories you'll be taking in!
