Truly, there is only one cozy hideaway like this in Safety Harbor!

Romantic one bedroom cottage overlooking beautiful Tampa Bay. When you first enter Bay Vista cottage the view is a jaw dropper! You will love it. High waterfront location offers wonderful panoramic water views from your screened-in porch and living room. The cottage has a cozy kitchen adjoining an open dining room. The bedroom has a romantic fourposter bed. The living room is coastal decor with that fantastic view showcased throughout large windows. Your cottage is fully stocked with many extra amenities, including free WiFi, flat screen TVs with Amazon FireStick streaming installed, Amazon Alexa speaker, and Keurig coffee maker with K-pods included. Just walk in and start relaxing! There is a full size washer and dryer at your disposal. Please note, the bathroom has a tub/shower combo and there are several steps to enter the cottage. There is a private driveway (under tree shade) and some side parking available, fitting 2-4 cars.

This inviting retreat is perfect for couples. Private, quiet and very relaxing. Safety Harbor has much to offer. Downtown has an interesting mix of restaurants, bars and an unusual eclectic mix of shops and boutiques. The waterfront park has a mangrove boardwalk, yacht basin and pier. Early morning walks here are wonderful. Your cottage is a scenic 10 minute walk to town. Nearby you will also discover Philippe Park, another delightful walking venue and encounter the Pinellas County bike trail.

Centrally located with easy access to neighboring Dunedin, Tarpon Springs, Clearwater, and Tampa. Miles of Gulf beaches are about a 20-30 minute ride away. Orlando theme parks are 90 minutes drive from your cottage. Closer, you will find Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa, around 45 minutes away. Your home is also a 20 minute ride from Tampa International Airport. Discover this peaceful retreat for yourselves.

We want to show off our fascinating town!

    We just spent a week in this charming cottage. Everything we could ever want or need was provided in a warm and cozy environment. We were able to walk to Philippe Park to view lush tropical vegetation and many varieties of birds. We couldn’t wish for a more relaxing enjoyable spot.

    We had a very peaceful and relaxing time at the cottage while major demo was going on at our house 5 mins away. Robert and Vivian were the best hosts and made us feel at home. We will highly recommend and even return!

    First of all, we want to thank our hosts for being very accomodating and gracious. The cottage was everything we wanted and more. We were greeted by Vivian and entered into the most relaxing and immaculate cottage filled with music ,candle scent and prefilled refrigerator with snacks to make us feel right at home. We were recently displaced from the hurricanes and under a tremendous amount of stress. But as soon as we were greeted early for our stay she made us feel welcome and at ease. The views of the bay were gorgeous and the morning sunrise coming through the front windows are breathtaking. Their cottage was filled with everything we could ever need. They were also very accomodating when our length of stay was up in the air due to our next rental being not available. We can not say enough about how much they helped us out and would not hesitate to return. were gr

    This was our second stay this year and third overall! We love this place for the spectacular view of the bay and proximity to downtown Safety Harbor. Bob and Vivian are excellent hosts and make sure that you have everything you need!

    Our second visit and another wonderful stay. The house is so very comfortable with everything provided that you may need including a well stocked kitchen with goodies and a lovely bottle of wine. The location just couldn’t be better with a front seat bay view of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. An excellent neighborhood for walking and a short stride into that great little downtown with nice shops and really good restaurants. Don’t miss the Sunday Farmer’s Market! Last but certainly not least, Robert and Vivian are superb hosts, always available for any questions or concerns. We loved meeting them! Enjoy this very special “home away from home”!

    This was our second stay and we wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage is cozy and has everything you could possibly need. The screened porch is excellent for unwinding and taking in the beautiful view of Old Tampa Bay. The hosts are friendly and quick to answer any questions. 10/10 would stay again!

    Thanks for your kind hospitality and Christmas spirit to start the new year. What a gem you have to enjoy the treasures of Safety Harbor (foodie heaven and great parks on the bay), Pinellas county and surrounding areas. We had a fun and cozy time - appreciated all the extra touches and goodies.

    It was the best vrbo I ever stayed in so far. Cottage was super clean and beautifully decorated. The neighborhood is very safe. Safety harbor is a beautiful town lots of shops and restaurants. I could have just stayed there and lived there. We stayed for 11 days I could have stayed for 11 months. Vivian and Bob are the best hosts ever. Anything you needed they were right there. I will definitely be back again. Thank you Bob and Vivian you added a little touch of class to her vacation. ❤️?❤️?

    The pictures don’t do it justice…a cute cottage across from the bay with incredible views. The living room is large and the couches are incredibly comfortable. Includes a screened in deck to enjoy the weather and view. Large picture windows with comfortable chairs are available in the living room to watch the glorious sunrises. if you need anything at all, Vivian and Bob are next door and your wishes will be granted. Wish we were neighbors back home.
