House was extremely well equipped and super clean! We had everything we needed to cook, there was a great selection of games for the entire family and lots of pool toys. We were also pleasantly surprised to find beach chairs, umbrella and a cooler that we could use. Location was excellent. We loved exploring Safety Harbor and location was an easy drive to Clearwater Beach and other fun areas like Dunedin and Tarpon Springs. Overall a great stay and we will most definitely return.

Perfect getaway

The home was beautiful and they provided so much! The instructions from beginning to end was so well put together. Great property for families with the pool and all the games. The fire pit outside was a great way to relax and have time together. It was a short trip for us but I would definitely stay here again.

Really nice place to stay

This was a really comfortable house in a great location. 20 min from the airport and 25 to St. Petersburg, less than 5 to cute shops and restaurants in Safety Harbor. Quiet, residential neighborhood. The property photos are spot on so you know what to expect. We were out sight seeing during the day and spent the mornings and evenings on the patio/hot tub/pool area which was perfect. The house owner was quick to respond and check-in/out was smooth. I would highly recommend this place and would stay again with a group if I was coming to the area again.

Wonderful pool and patio

We just couldn’t get over how great the pool/hottub area was! It was spacious with lots of room in two different seating areas and an outdoor TV so we could watch the Superbowl on the patio! We all kept saying how great the floor plan was and that we could all live here. The host, Dorota, was thoughtful and responsive. They provided cookies, coffee and a hand-written note at checkin. Great find a very short drive from downtown Safety Harbor!

All the conveniences of home

We stayed for two days to go to a few different baseball spring training games. It was very centralized to both. The pool and hot tub was very nice. Although the weather was too cool to use the pool (Lazy Lizard can't control the weather) we did take advantage of the hot tub. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything you will need to cook a meal. Saving lots of to not be forced to go out to breakfast and dinner. We would definitely stay longer the next time we are in the area.

This spacious 3 bedroom home was a perfect fit for our wants and needs. The hosts could not have been any easier nor given any better communication. They went above and beyond in meeting our needs including making special allowances to address our concerns. The home is well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and laundry room so you can truly relax and enjoy your stay without overpacking. The hot tub and heated pool were extremely clean and the perfect insurance policy against the unpredictable early spring weather of the Gulf Coast. The main drag of Safety Harbor was a short 14 minute walk away and the wonderful Crooked Thumb brewery just an 11 minute walk. Baycare Ballpark, where the Phillies/Threshers play all Spring and Summer, was a short 10 minute drive away. The outdoor seating area and Lanai were perfect for a respite especially with the outdoor TV right there to entertain outside and enjoy the great weather. There is a driveway that can fit two cars but also ample street parking. The Supermarkets and Walmarts are relatively nearby and offer convenient home delivery if you would so like. The beach towns can be reached within 15 minutes and there was tons to do in the general Clearwater/St Pete's area with tons of live music, comedians, shows, and more restaurants than you could ever visit. If you never want to leave Safety harbor there are enough great places to not eat at the same place twice in a 2 week period. We cannot wait to return next year!

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The host was very responsive and allowed us to access the property a couple hours early due to travel times, which was extremely helpful. The home smelled fresh and clean upon entering and the pool and spa are to die for. We spent most of our time outside enjoying this area. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home making memories!
