We will be back!
Everything was perfect! Lynne has thought of everything and gone the extra step to ensure her visitors have anything they might need. We were greeted with yummy rum cakes and given a gift certificate to a local restaurant. The bed was extremely comfortable and the whole place was decorated nicely. We appreciated having the wagon to haul all our beach stuff in and took advantage of the washer and dryer at the end of our stay so we didn't have to travel with wet, yucky beach towels. If it had been cooler outside, I would have loved to use the firepit area. We had never been to this area, so we weren't sure what to expect. We loved the small, quaint vibe! Even on July 4th weekend, we had a minimal wait for restaurants. The beaches were not packed, which is exactly what I wanted. We were only able to stay 3 nights, but we will have to come back to stay longer!

Convenient location to Indian Rocks Beach
This is a perfect spot for 1 or 2 people! Everything you need is available in the “Sweet” and access to the property manager was a message away. The bed was comfortable and the space was clean and comfortable. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a sweet getaway. They even left surprise goodies on the table.

Spotless and Welcoming!
All aspects of my stay met or exceeded my expectations. The space was super clean and thoughtfully appointed. The hosts were available and immediately responsive to questions. The location was perfect and in a quiet neighborhood that was a 15 minute walk to the beach and easy drive to great restaurants and retail. I will definitely book again!

Cutest little place
The Sweet is perfect for two! My daughter and I came down from Alabama for a family visit and some R&R. Mrs. James was a fantastic hostess and very responsive, if I had questions. The walls were adorned with manatees (my favorite!) and mermaids. Everything was very clean and tidy. The house is centrally located in Largo, very easy to navigate to and from. Super big bonus:washer and dryer!! It’s great to be able to get your clothes clean before heading home!

Studio Sized Suite
Very cute property and extremely comfortable. Great advantage to have access to a washer and dryer. Loved the beach vibe of this neighborhood and it's inviting colors. Very close to beaches that have free parking or main parking lot with low parking prices. We were able to park at, timing is everything. Great restaurants close by with a variety of price points. In general all beaches is the bay area are accessible from this property. We cooked in one evening and all we needed was the food, everything else was in the kitchen.

About the host

Hosted by Lynne James

Host profile image
Hi we are Lynne and Jeff owners of this cute little Sweet! We were married in 1980 and quickly relocated from upstate NY to the area. We have been hosting vacationers since 2015 and this is the newest of our collection, with awesome reviews, that we hope you will enjoy! I have been in the hospitality business for many years, so making you completely happy and getting 5 star reviews are my top priority! I also am the owner of Island Rum Cakes so you are going to enjoy a super rummy Island Rum Cake while you stay with us!

Why they chose this property

We bought the property on 1990 from the original owners, we lived across the street and saw the potential to give people a safe neighborhood to live in. We raised both of our boys here!

What makes this property unique

The location is the best around. You can walk to many stores, restaurants and most importantly the beautiful beach. Indian Rocks Beach is just a short walk as well. We hope you will fall in love with the area as we did so many years ago.
Check in is at 3pm, however I usually am ready for you before and will txt if ready early, you are welcome to check in before 3.
We stick to a strict check out at 10am in order to accommodate and have the place perfect for the next guests!
