Great remodeled home for a weekend trip to Tarpon Springs. Short Walk to Sponge Docka and brewerys. House is real charming outside and newly remodeled is inside. Good central located spot to hang your hat while on the go!
Great home, very clean! Walkable to downtown, the sponge docks, the Pinellas trail and lots of breweries and coffee shops in between! The neighborhood is definitely transitioning. We didn’t run into any issues, but walking around there were some rough spots. Overall though, a very nice stay!
We were All pleased with the 5 day stay. Proximity made it very easy to get to some fun and neat locations ;
Sponge Docks, Fred Howard Park, Pinellas Trails. Dunedin an easy 10 mile trek away.
Hibiscus street was a quiet street, allowed for relaxing time to sit on nice front porch.
The Hibiscus Hideaway was great. Lots of room in a totally redone cottage style house with quality upgrades (for once, a place with quiet ceiling fans). Beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. The location is perfect, one block from the Pinellas trail and a short walk to the shops and restaurants in downtown Tarpon Springs. Also very close to the Sponge docks and Craig Park

Disliked: Check-in, communication
poor communication
The home is awesome once inside. The side yard has abandoned cars. The back parcel has a very smelly chicken coop on the front porch. The host was very slow to return messenging.

Wife and mother to 5 Amazing children. We love to ski/snowboard and ride dirt bikes. We are always working on a project. We hope you enjoy this home as much as we did renovating it.
Why they chose this property
Beautiful completely renovated early 1900's home with all the modern amenities as well as vintage pieces throughout. Small Town feel with access to city life. Most everything is with walking distance. So much history along with fun things to do with family. Splash park as well as a kayak launch is within walking distance. Park is mins away.
What makes this property unique
Love at first sight, I saw the amazing potential this house had. My husband questioned my sanity a little bit, but with a lot of hard work and love it is exactly as I knew it could be. I love seeing a house that at one point was full of love and life restored.
