My family of six had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, exceptionally clean house! We had everything we needed and the location was perfect and close to all the things Tarpon Springs has to offer. We will definitely stay again!
Absolutely fantastic stay. Beautiful home, well equipped, clean and modern. Our kids loved the provided board games and TVs. My wife and I appreciated the large/clean bathrooms, laundry room and beautiful kitchen. Great location in close proximity to coffee shops, grocery store, restaurants, parks/nature areas and the famous sponge docks! Owners were great communicators and very responsive. Thanks for the great visit.
The home was a great place to stay. It was very clean and the home had a lot of great added touches, it is one of the best rentals I have stayed in. The hosts put a lot of thought into all the added touches. I would highly recommend staying at this home.
Like new inside, spotless and well equipped, everything included, close to Tarpon Avenue shopping and the sponge dock downtown area, 1 block from the Pinellas Trail.
Our family had a wonderful stay. It was nice and clean and cozy. When needed the host replied to us very quickly. The neighborhood was quiet and it was only a 4 minute ride by car to the sponge docks. We would definitely stay again.

Thank you so much! We’re so glad to hear your family enjoyed the stay and found everything cozy and convenient. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you all back anytime you’re in the Tarpon Springs area!
This home was very close to everything. Very short drive to the down town area and the Greek Town. Walmart, Starbucks, Publix is like a 3 min drive. Home was nice, clean and cozy. Very quiet neighborhood. It was exactly like described. We would stay again if ever in the area again.
My friends and I had a great time at this home. The home is beautiful, spacious, and clean. The hosts respond quickly if needed. It is located in a great central location as well.
This home is cozy, comfortable, and beautiful. Nick and Anna are fabulous hosts and created a true 5 star experience. Their home is super close to the sponge docks where you can dine, fish, or cruise. We loved every minute of our stay and look forward to booking again in the future.

Thank you so much, Margaret, for your thoughtful and glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you found our home cozy, comfortable, and beautiful; that’s exactly the experience we strive to create. It truly means the world to us that you felt we provided a true 5-star stay!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, being super close to the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks really does make it easy to dine on the water, go fishing, or hop on a dolphin cruise, all just minutes away. Your kind words about us as hosts mean a lot—we genuinely love creating a welcoming, relaxing environment for our guests.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime. Thank you again, and we’re already looking forward to your next visit!
The house was spacious and spot on as the photos listed. The host was very accommodating on check in and check out process. It was very clean, and I would book again, the location was key as it was close to my family nearby. A small suggestion, it would have been nice to have a full-length mirror somewhere in the house since we were there for a wedding; we wanted to see what we looked like from head to toe, otherwise, everything was perfect and lovely and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Prime spot, all amenities and places to entertain was perfect during our time. I will book again. Thank you for having us during this very special weekend.
We chose this home for a family getaway with my elderly mother (she can still climb stairs), sister, and brother-in-law. We all loved everything about the house: the location; cleanliness; layout; comfort of the furniture and beds; lush linens; beautiful updates and other amenities. It was an extremely pleasant and comfortable place to stay. We had easy access to everything and we all rested well at the end of the day. Our hosts were kind and responded very quickly to questions. We loved it and hope to vacation there again.

If you’re lucky enough to be able to vacation in Tarpon Springs, FL then you must check this house ! It was so welcoming from the moment we walked in the door, so clean & modern. It was just perfect for our group of life long friends that are still celebrating life. We were close to many great restaurants, shops & beaches. We found lots of fun events in the area to keep us busy. We really loved exploring and then it was wonderful being able to come home to a safe quiet neighborhood. The open floor plan was perfect for hanging out & catching up with each other. The beds were extremely comfortable, there was no shortage of pillows, towels or blankets. Our host was very responsive and made the whole process seamless from booking to checking out. We give a five star thumbs up.
