We have a pet restriction on some pets and all pets must be approved. You must let us know how many pets and what breed you are bringing.
This is a great place to stay. Our host was so accommodating, and checked on us several times. Our small puppy was welcomed, and it was so convenient not to have to go through a hotel, elevator, lobby etc...to get her out. The area is in transition with very expensive homes to one side, and renovations to the other, but the property is so comfortable and cute that this did not detract from the stay at all. I enjoyed all the fun decorating touches, the extras for the kitchen and beach, and the very comfortable bed! Thanks for a great stay! I want to come back.
The place was very clean. The rooms spacious & comfortable. Everything you need was there.
We came down from Panama City for a weekend away and to catch a Rays game. The home couldn’t have been more perfect for our stay. Perfect location as it was close to all the sights and restaurants. The home itself was comfortable and had EVERYTHING that you would hope for a rental to have. Communication with our hosts was also very helpful. They were immediate in their replies to any questions and very helpful. We will definitely be back!
The cottage was beautiful and clean, we were close to restaurants and events. Our favorite place to visit is Tarpon Springs, we will use this cottage again. Nina our host was awesome.
No outdoor space. Felt confined in an air conditioned box. Very little storage. Too many kitchy decor items that got in the way of getting access to our own things. TV channels limited so missed our Leafs vs Tampa in NHL playoffs. The lighting was way too bright in living room for evening relaxing. Pictures on VRBO are wide angle and don't represent the actual place.
What furniture there was, was not comfortable. More like an efficiency hotel room, then a VRBO that we are accustomed to.
Loved this place. So cute and had everything you need. We took our bikes to ride the trails, so the location was great. Property manager was so nice and attentive. Would stay here again.
The apartment was as described. New, modern and clean. My husband and I stayed for a week and a half. While there really isn't much outside space to enjoy, the apartment was as decribed and clearn. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking of downstown, including Spring Bayou. It is also close to the Pinnellas bike trail. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!
Cute little spot. Was close to the MIL so that’s why I chose it.
Had a lovely stay at this cozy Tarpon Springs VRBO. We have family in the area and plan to arrange future visits here! Cozy cottage, comfortable bed, hot shower, very clean and seems to be newly decorated. Highly recommend!
The pictures of the VRBO are very accurate. All the furnishing are very retro. The bed was comfortable. There is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and bathroom. The outside entrance was lit so you could see at night. The owner responded in a timely manner when we had questions. It would be good to let guests know ahead of time that there is no cable TV, only Netflex. The couch is beautiful but it would be good if there are a pull out couch. An air mattress with an automatic pump would be better. We did not attempt to use the pump in the room. We would definitely stay again
This modern one bedroom house was perfect for my daughter and I. It’s clean, updated, and close to everything! The owners are quick to respond and very hospitable. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely stay here! ♥️
Everything was great but the TV. Only Netflix available, and there were technical issues launching Netflix. Place was nice, clean, and well stocked. Communication with property manager was excellent. Would definitely stay again.
In the area for an event and looking for something just far enough from the crowds. So happy to have found this cozy home away from home in perfect location. It had just the right amount of space with everything we could have needed.
This place was clean and cozy! We were close to everything! Would highly recommend!
Location! Location! Location! This place was very central to activities in the town and the beach. Clearwater is only about a 35 min drive and the commute was so comfortable we kept going back. The triplex was very well kept and we enjoyed our stay. For just my hubby and pup it was more than enough. I would recommend this property to friends and family.
Had been wanting to see Tarpon Springs for awhile now amd this place was perfect for our getaway. Everything was just as listed, close to the downtown area, very clean and comfortable with all amenities needed. They were very responsive and easy to check in. Will definitely stay again when back in the area.
All in all a good experience and an enjoyable time. Good location.
After checking we settled in and went to see some of the sights. Coming back we realized we had some lovely cats staying in the area. We have 7 cats & 2 dogs at home so having them visiting us each day was a happy start. They were a loving addition to our stay. My husband was so moved by them he would goes out each morning to talk to them and feed them. They didn't get close enough for petting, but it was a nice addition. Also helped us not to miss our own pets so much.
Convenient to many things to do - walking, shopping, nature, Craig Park, so we enjoyed that very much. Place looks exactly as described on the site and was very clean and comfortable for our one month stay. Gave it a 4 star overall. Would give a 5 star if some improvements were made to lighting, storage and a few minor mechanical things, all of which were communicated to the owner or property manager.
