We just wanted to be close to the beach, but I'm kind of picky about the cleanliness and safety of rentals. I usually stay down in Clearwater or St Pete but it's often a crap shoot with rentals, but Tarpon Springs is very different. I was looking for something different, untouristy - this is exactly that. There's not a lot of rental options near the water which is what makes Tarpon Springs so quiet and relaxing, it's neighborhood after neighborhood with a small downtown and sponge docks nearby. The reviews on this rental were amazing which caught my eye and they lived up to their score! The unit is on the backside of a house in a little neighborhood that felt safe and only two blocks from the water and a mile to the beach. The kitchen is very well stocked with every dish and appliance you can imagine. Lots of other supplies and amenities as well. It was July and felt like 100° so we did not end up using the bikes to go to the beach, we drove instead, but the bikes were very conviently available, along with coolers and beach chairs and beach towels! The owners were so sweet, right there if you need anything whatsoever, or invisible if you don't. Would definitely recommend their place but I just found out they also have a rental in Dunedin, which I want to visit next! I'm just stuck on their cleansiness and ease of reservation and check-in:-)

As many have said, the property is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood. The large apartment is quiet with a view out to a large back yard. There is good parking in the front. The AC unit cools fairly well although we had to turn it down for it to reach the bedroom. We used two of the bikes and they were wonderful to ride to the nearby parks. We would have used them a lot more if it hadn't been so hot and humid when we were visiting; we're not accustomed to those temps! Tarpon Springs is a wonderful town and one can easily visit St. Petersburg and Tampa from here but enjoy staying in a smaller area. Don't miss dining on the waterfront at Rusty Bellies. It is a popular restaurant, and reservations are advised. Marvelous food!

The listing description is 100% accurate, but does not do it justice! The ground floor apartment was extremely clean, comfortable and secure; every amenity I could hope for was provided. In short, it felt like home. The host responded instantly when I messaged, and went above and beyond to provide a lovely get away setting. The location is fantastic. I walked or biked everywhere with no difficulty. I highly recommend this property/host and am already hoping for a return visit!

Lots of room and sunny. Nice to have separate entrance and use of back yard. Plenty of parking space. We did not inquire about the bikes because we had other plans each day. All items in the listing are accurate. May was a wonderful host and always replied quickly with information and replies to our questions. Location is great! Would definitely recommend this rental and would stay again if in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location. The rental was clean, well-stocked, and beautifully decorated. As mid-westerners, we enjoyed spending the end of each evening on the back porch. The hosts were helpful, friendly, and respected our privacy. It was the perfect place for us and we'll be back!

The location could not have been anymore perfect. It was easy to find and super close to beach access and shopping. We had plenty of room to enjoy our coffee on the patio area in the morning. May and Robert were so kind to us! Loved meeting there dog Lion!
The inside matched the pictures and was actually larger than I thought. Perfect for a girls trip! We will be back next year!

This property is located so perfectly in Tarpon Springs. Walking/biking distance to Sunset Beach and my favorite Howard Beach about a mile north. The downtown area and spongedocks are also so convenient to visit. The little garden oasis in the back of this property is so cute as well with all the produce the owners had growning!

May is a great hostess, and her property is first class. Too many VRBO properties are decorated with garage sale castoffs. Not May's place, it is clean and up to date. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

My fiancé and I stayed for four nights in February, May had a nice little information book for the guests with restaurants and attractions listed. The bicycles were available for us to use, a gas grill was also available. The furniture was comfortable, the bed was very nice as well. The place was roomy, very clean, a quiet and easy to find neighborhood. May and her husband (and pup!) we’re very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay again!

Exactly as pictured! Great location near Sunset Beach and close to Howard park as well. Two bikes were made available to us although a tornado warning and heavy rains prevented their use. Apartment is ground level and felt very private and quiet. Extremely clean, comfortable furnishings. A quick trip to a market for breakfast items and we were right at home.
Host greeted us to help when I forgot combination code and communication was good and available if needed. Tarpon Springs was lovely around the holidays and we hope to return soon!

The location was good and the apartment was clean. It was small but plenty of space for the 2 of us. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was a big plus. We had a problem with the door but the host responded very quickly and resolved our issue. We were satisfied with our stay.

Our stay was pleasant and it had everything we needed. The owners were quick to respond and very helpful. Ideal for a couple to stay here. Loved the little town of Tarpon Springs. The old houses were beautiful as were the sunsets at Sunset Beach. The waters at Howard were not the greatest but were calm. We saw lots of little fish.

Lovely stay. May gave us local tips but also left us alone. The place was super clean and had everything we needed. Also, perfectly quiet. We could not hear one bit of traffic, which is often a sticking point for my husband. We would definitely come back!
