Charming, Historic Carriage House Old Florida setting on Tampa Bay

We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay at the carriage house.Dawn and Patrick couldn’t have been better hosts. The location was perfect for us.

My husband and I recently enjoyed a stay at a pretty carriage house in Safety Harbor, Florida. I recommend it. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house itself was perfect for us – eclectically decorated with a warm and cozy atmosphere that immediately put us at ease. The well-appointed kitchen was a plus. It could be better lit, but it had everything we needed (including razor sharp knives) to prepare meals.Beyond the house itself, the location was ideal. Safety Harbor is a delightful town, and this rental provided easy access to everything it has to offer.The owners deserve high praise as well. They struck the perfect balance of being available and responsive to any questions we had, while also respecting our privacy. Knowing they were nearby if needed was reassuring, but they were never intrusive.No question; our experience warrants 5 stars.

We loved the location, cleanliness and comfort of this beautiful, historic carriage house. The host was great and we’ll definitely be back.

The property is very cute, but it was not suitable for me to stay 5 days. There is no Central AC unit and the rental was terribly hot. The sleeping area is in a loft space about 20 feet up, with no cooling system of any kind to cool the loft area. All I could think was hot air rises and this isn't a good scenario during a heatwave There is a mini split in the lower level and a wall unit in the lower level, which both were incapable of getting the rental to a comfortable temperature for a 5 day stay during a heatwave. I left within 1 hour and stayed in a hotel after speaking with Dawn and she concurred the rental would not cool down to a temperature that would be suitable for me. An app on my phone showed the temp in the loft was 88 degrees, and the downstairs area temp was 83 degrees at 6 PM; the mini split was on when I arrived. There was no hope that the heat during the day would be controlled enough by the mini split to allow for a suitable temperature. 70 degrees would have been fine, but that would have happened at 3 AM and it would heat up again as soon as the sun rises. I lost a lot of money on this trip. It was nonrefundable since I had already arrived, but Dawn did send me a partial refund of $500. I learned a very costly lesson: when a listing mentions AC ask what that means. Don't assume it is Central AC, or adequate.

What a wonderful cottage situated in the lovely seaside village of Safety Harbor. The guest house is much larger than it looks in the pics and is perfect for 2 people. I highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Carriage House. It is a beautiful, spacious, very clean, light-filled and unique space, so near to the Bay and Safety Harbor, restaurants, coffee shops and parks. Dawn was amazing, immediately responsive to any questions we had, and the place itself was so welcoming. Everything we could have needed was there for us, plus the outdoor patios! We very much hope to return!

Amazing. Hosts were the absolute best. Beautiful location. Would definitely recommend.

My stay in this lovely carriage house amid Safety Harbor charm & the overwhelming hospitality shown to me by Dawn and Patrick, will remain a treasured lifetime memory. Highly recommend!

The house is quiet, very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and the hosts are helpful and communicative. A good base for exploring the area.

the carriage house is much more spacious than the description might lead one to believe (but not as large as it looks from the outside). The private garden is lovely in the morning. Wonderful location -- Safety Harbor is a charming community with lots of activities. Easy access to walking and biking trails, and close enough to the beach. Dawn and Patrick are congenial hosts who always go the extra mile. Hoping to return one day!
