NEW LISTING - EXPERIENCED HOSTS! We are Your Fun Loving Hosts John and Ellen! Featured on a 2018 International Travel Show, Sense of Place, Nashville Episode.

Welcome to Casa la Joya!

WOW!! - What a rare opportunity to live in this beloved historic home with modern luxury and fun!

This charming Spanish revival-style home features a perfect blend of historic character, unique features, and unbeatable Location.

It sits on an oversized lot on the south side of downtown Safety Harbor. Three blocks away, you can see beautiful Tampa Bay from your front yard. Main Street is only four blocks away! You can walk, bike, or even ride your golf cart and enjoy all that quaint Safety Harbor offers.

Built in 1924, the house is known for its Spanish architecture and craftsmanship. Newly renovated in 2024, it provides all the modern luxury, yet the original charm was carefully preserved, including the original hardwood floor, Spanish architectural arches, brick fireplace, hand-textured plaster, and much more for your discovery.

As you come in, you will be captivated by this home's charm. A stunning hardwood floor, fireplace, and Spanish brick accent the beautiful sunny living room. Two double doors invite you to the covered screen-in front porch, a perfect space for morning coffee while listening to the birds chirping.

The dining room is the center of the whole house. A fun picnic-style table surrounded by original Florida artwork is a place for the entire family to gather and enjoy.

There are three bedrooms in the house. Each bedroom has windows with scenic views, 58-inch TVs with over 200 Cable Channels, plush mattresses, and luxury bed linens to guarantee a great night's sleep. Two bedrooms have king-size beds, and a well-appointed bath is located only steps away from each bedroom. The third bedroom has a queen-size bed and its own en suite bath.

Both bathrooms are equipped with beautiful, modern full-glass showers. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap are individually packed. A hairdryer, abundant towels, and paper products are provided.

The kitchen is equipped with brand new stainless appliances: a double-door fridge, washer/dryer, inductive cooktop/oven, microwave, stainless cookware, dining ware, a Keurig coffee machine, and all the coffee supplies. Wine, bottled water, and snacks will be ready upon your arrival!

The covered back patio invites you to enjoy the beautiful Florida outdoors year-round.

Imagine living in this most desired historic home, just steps away from Downtown Safety Harbor, waterfront parks, the pier, charming stores, coffee shops, and the most beautiful trails of Tampa Bay. It will be a vacation you will remember!

    It was such a pleasure staying at Casa La Joya. It was an incredible experience. Having previously stayed at John and Ellen’s other properties, I was excited to find that their new location in Safety Harbor was just as amazing. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home, every detail was carefully considered. The ambiance is both cozy and elegant, creating a perfect retreat. My dog Chloe and I had such a wonderful time. The fenced yard was a definite plus for Chloe. Within walking distance we found a very nice dog park. We were also able to walk down to the water front and downtown main street. John and Ellen are exceptional hosts, ensuring that everything was just right for our stay. Their attention to detail and hospitality truly sets them apart. Whether you're traveling solo, with a pet, or with family and friends, I can’t recommend this house enough!!!
