About this house rental

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!

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.

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage!! My wife and I are originally from the area and were down visiting friends and family for Christmas. The location is phenomenal and so convenient for us being that we have people to connect with all over Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. We loved walking our dog along the bayside into downtown Safety Harbor to enjoy the restaurants and shops, and waking up every morning to the sunrise over the bay was an awesome way to start our morning. The hosts were extremely accommodating, they even had the place decorated for Christmas when we arrived. It was a five star experience from top to bottom, we will definitely be staying here again when we make our annual trips to the Tampa Bay Area!!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left (did not want to) it was total relaxation. Our hosts were very gracious, accommodating and treated us like family. They provided recommendations on dining and sightseeing. The VRBO was also impeccable. Great experience! Cannot wait to return to this little slice of heaven.

From the moment we arrived at the property we were wowed by the gorgeous setting of the cottage as well as the tremendous view of the Bay. The (all most 100 year old) cottage was perfect for us and beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home. The screened in porch offered a wonderful view of the daily sunrise emerging over the Bay. The town of Safety Harbor was a real treat with all the restaurants, shops, bicycle paths and beautiful parks. Our hosts Bob and Vivian were excellent!! They are very attentive and went overboard to make sure our stay was memorable !! We certainly want to return next year for another relaxing stay.

This was our first VRBO, so we were a little nervous. We could not have been happier with the place or with our hosts, Bob and Vivian. They thought of everything to make this place a home away from home. We enjoyed our daily walks to Main St and the screened porch with the lovely view of the bay. I got some awesome pictures of a thunderstorm that rolled over the bay. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a very cute cottage. The screened porch is an added bonus. The view of Tampa Bay is beautiful. Safety Harbor has a lot to offer in the way of restaurants, parks and access to Tampa/St. Pete. The hosts are very friendly and have added several amenities to make any stay here extra special.

Vivian and Robert were the greatest hosts I’ve EVER had. I’ve stayed in many VRBO / Air B and B and they were absolutely amazing. Their cottage is clean, cozy, cool, and full of character. The view is spectacular and they ensure you have everything you would ever need! I have told so many others about their place already. Not one complaint. Beautiful lanai. Perfect location. Worth every cent. Thank you Robert and Vivian for everything! Best VRBO experience EVER. 5 stars!!!!!

Splendid!

We spent two marvelous weeks on a staycation here while repairs were made to our home. We won’t wait for another flood to come back – this one is on the list! The cottage is exactly as pictured, eclectically curated with just the right amount of kitch to remind you its 100 years old. The pantry is plentiful and the hosts are warm and welcoming. The location is perfect, just a 15-minute walk to the busy Main Street shops and restaurants. However, once you step onto the front porch its easy to forget where you are as you take in the lush surroundings, peaceful view across the bay with great sunrises each morning.

Our visit was a wonderful a retreat from the business (and the winter) in Atlanta. We are older (78 and 79, and like to golf and fish with my guide of many years, Dan Malzzone), so the lovely cottage was perfect. We watched the sun come up over Tampa Bay in the morning (the water was 50 feet aways), visited the lovely park next door (Odet Phillipe's plantation on a Native American mound made of sand and shells, overlooking the bay- which was a great place to walk), and enjoyed the owners who lived in a house behind the cottage. Our 92 years old gardener was a delight. The location was quiet and people very kind.I would recommend this cottage and these owners to anyone who enjoyed natural beauty and peace and quiet.Dr./Miz Kent A. lLeslie

One bright spot for us in 2020

One bright spot for us in 2020

My wife and I stayed at this cottage over the Christmas holidays while visiting her parents in nearby Clearwater. The house was very clean, nicely decorated, had every item necessary, and has an outstanding view of the bay (the photos do not do it justice). The owner (who lives nearby) came over and introduced himself, and had even provided snacks (ie crackers and cheese,, candy) as well as wine and other drinks in the refrigerator for us! Mr. Page was very personable and made sure we had everything we would use/need. The house has two decks (one at the entrance and the other off the screen porch) with chairs on both. My wife and I spend considerable time either in the screen porch or the deck admiring the view (both the sunrise and distant evening views of Tampa over the bay). There is a dedicated walkway/bike trail that runs in front of the house along the bay and was constantly in use with walkers/joggers/bikers. The Phillippe Park is only a half mile north of the house, and downtown Safety Harbor is about a mile south of the house. I would absolutely recommend this house for a couple looking to spend time exploring Safety Harbor and will definitely be renting this wonderful cottage in the near future. I should also add that it has WiFi (easy to log into) as well as two flat screen TVs. Again, couldn't be happier with our choice of this home.
