About this property

1923 Arts & Craft Cottage - ★Best Tampa Vacation Rental★ Award

Our focus is on 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 and 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 of the Arts and Craft period. In early September 2022, we completed our most recent interior design program during which we replaced everything: all upholstery, fabrics, queen bed, sheets, towels and lampshades.

Even though we’ll take you back in time with our decor, modern design & convenience is still available for your use: Free Wi-Fi, UV Smart Phone and Facemask light box, multidevice charging station, washer and dryer (located in our Bungalow steps away) SmartTV, Streaming, DVD collection, microwave, and off-street parking.

★★ 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 ★★
The Cottage at Erehwon Retreat is located in the historic neighborhood of Seminole Heights with beautiful craftsman style homes and tree-lined streets.

★★ 𝗕𝗘𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 ★★
The cottage sleeps 2 in its beautifully-decorated bedroom with comfortable queen bed. The side tables and warm lighting make it the perfect space to read and rest after a long day out. The City of Tampa limits occupancy to 2 person per original bedroom.

★★ 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 ★★
The cottage has one bathroom, complete with toilet, sink and walk-in shower. It’s sparkling clean, like the rest of the house. We provide luxurious custom-made Erewhon Retreat tea olive soap, made right from the plants found around the home. Toilet paper, towels, and shampoo are also provided.

★★ 𝗞𝗜𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗡 & 𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗚𝗘 ★★
The fully-stocked kitchenette has everything you need. There is a four-burner gas stove, microwave, mini fridge, sink, coffee maker, and basic pots and pans, dishes and silverware. You can sit at the breakfast table with your morning coffee and plan your day. We stock breakfast foods in the fridge and pantry, including cereal, pancake mix, real maple syrup, spices, butter, milk, fresh Florida orange juice, tea, coffee and more.

The cottage’s lounge continues the nostalgic theme, with a charming sofa, newly upholstered chair, and a TV. Curl up with a book, watch a favorite DVD, and make memories here. We want you to feel at home.

★★ 𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘 ★★
The front porch is a great place for relaxing. Sip tea on the porch and listen to the native birds. Enjoy our large Florida Native Plant garden and the quaint historic neighborhood (1911-1926), where hundreds of restored bungalows and Mediterranean homes date from the turn of the century.

★★ 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒 ★★
There are several cameras on the property: 1 video doorbell each the bungalow's front & backdoor (to laundry room). Cottage & manager's office front doors each have a video doorbell. 2 cameras on home's side overlooking pathway by fence, & pine pathway on the other side. All cameras record sound & audio upon motion activation for 30 seconds.

Cottage
The Cottage was as depicted in the photo. It was clean, and the host was very responsive. It was a little difficult to find it, and some repairs needed to be made. All said the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, and there were plenty of towels. The orange juice and eggs in the fridge were a nice touch. Thank you.

A quick trip for some sunshine
What a cute little cottage. So well stocked, and SO clean! Super cozy bed. Good fans and a/c works well. Judy was excellent in responding to questions. Instructions were clearly laid out. Great location. 15 minutes to TPA, downtown, Ybor city, Busch Gardens. Great little coffee place steps away. And a pub 5 minute walk away with amazing food and prices! Wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay here again. I think there are 2 things that were a "bother" (and I use that very loosely). The hot water in the kitchen does not get hot (easily remedied by boiling water, or microwaving some). And the couch helps keep you from sitting around for too long. 😉

1923 Cottage reminiscent of simpler days
My best friend of 47 years and I had a magical 5 night stay at Erehwon Retreat the end of January 2024. This cozy and comfortable cottage is reminiscent of simpler times. Our morning walks netted many smiles and waves as well as a few delightful conversations with neighbors out in their yards. Great proximity to the airport, necessities, and easy access to Clearwater, St.Petersberg, Tarpon Springs, etc. Google “Erehwon” to learn the meaning and “Old Seminole Heights” to learn more about the area. I will definitely stay here again on future Tampa area visits.
