About this apartment rental

Featured in the Hallmark movie "Love in the Sun", The Tropical Bungalow apartment is on the first floor of the original Safety Harbor Hotel on Main Street, built in 1914. The flat features all the comforts of home. The Inn is right in the center of downtown Safety Harbor, 15 minutes from both Clearwater (PIE) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) , 10 miles to the white sandy beaches of Clearwater, 17 miles to St.Petersburg. This is a perfect home base for your Gulf adventures. You will receive a keypad code by noon the day of your arrival upon booking. The keypad code will not work with the smart lock until it is check in time.

The flat has the laid-back, tropical Florida vibe you’d expect from the local designer (who also owns Accents by Paula on the first floor of the building) with stylish furniture and fun extras. Make the most of your stay with insider tips from a 30 year resident of the area.

INSIDE
The space was renewed from scratch and is decorated with your comfort and convenience in mind. The livable space feels immediately like home. The shower-stall bath is stocked with plush towels. The queen bed is lushly made with firm and soft pillows and throws, good reading lamps and a closet. The kitchen, living (pull-out sofa), and indoor dining are one open space. The kitchen has full-sized appliances, cookware, cutlery and necessities for people who love to cook, have their morning coffee, or to just serve their take-away.

MORE FUN
Harbor Inn on Main is on a quiet street, within walking distance to a variety of shopping, restaurants, breweries, pubs, and music venues. The city hosts many music and food events events throughout the year. With the location of this flat, you are central to all of the events held on Main St. The Safety Harbor Marina, pier, and a spa are just 6 blocks away to enjoy a stroll along the water while searching for manatees in the bay. There is a finished walk/bike path stretching 5+ miles along the Old Tampa Bay.

The location in downtown Safety Harbor was perfect. The apartment was comfortable and clean. There was a full size refrigerator so we could prepare our meals and store the leftovers. We could easily get to restaurants and bars plus we were in town for the July 4th parade and fireworks. Our son lived a block away in a small apartment so we got together every day. Great visit.

The place was perfect and we had a dog and parrot with us . We were just off main street and convenient or a short walk form many stores and restaurants. The condo had a full kitchen a living room and bathroom and a nice little out door patio. We enjoyed it very much and would definitely go back again. The host was available as needed and willing to acomodate us if needed. The community is very dog friendly and provided easy walking to several stores and restaurants as well as restaurants that were dog friendly as well. Overall a very good experience , a no hassle and comfortable stay. Thumbs up to the host great job.

Loved our stay! The tropical Bungalow has a small, private patio located on a side street. It was so nice to enjoy our coffee and 'wake up time' outside. We travel with a small dog and I feel comfortable walking at night in the neighborhood. The bungalow was very clean, furniture comfortable, location central to SH. Music from the restaurants usually ends around 10/11 pm.

Pros great location for walking in Safety Harbor and shoreline. We love this town! Close to pet-friendly restaurants and entertainment Mostly hidden front patio great place to sit and enjoy the weather Good water pressure with plenty of hot water Comfortable couch with modern TV Area is friendly and low-crime Furnace/AC apparently in good working order. Comfortable bed Cons Upon arrival, found cleaning well below expectations. Grimy area rug. Blinds dusty. Accumulated dust in not easy to access areas, such as under furniture. Bathroom floor needs a good scrubbing. Moldy kitchen sink stopper. Kitchen cabinets grimy at handles. Dirty around air handling ducts. Vacuum cleaner waste bin stored in open eating area and full of debris. Some mold in refrigerator. Kitchen garbage container damaged wall. Bathroom could use a refresh. Local painting and tile repair unprofessional. Need to hold toilet handle down to complete flush. Large drapery near tub a nuisance due to small area. Tub finish worn. Window screen worn. Could use a small dishwasher and stackable laundry center. There is room for both. Must drive to a coin-operated laundry. Regret staying longer than two weeks Bring your own wine and martini glassware. Closet needs TLC. Rack support arm disconnected. Attic access sealed with painter’s and duct tape. WIFI TV needs more internet speed. Often interrupted with “circle of death”. Eating area stools not of great quality or sturdiness. Smoke detector in common area not in working order. This is a fire code violation. Padding on patio chair pads moldy. Not a great value. Paid a lot for what we got.

We were disappointed with the location and uncomfortable enough with surrounding issues that even though we had paid for two nights, we did not stay after seeing it. We walked in and looked around and locked up and left.

Searching for lodging is, hands down, the most stressful part of trip planning to me. I don't know the area, don't know how accurately the photos show the space, don't know how noisy it might be, etc. My wife and I were making this a working trip, so we needed enough work space and fast enough internet. She set up at a table by the front door (which has been added since the listing pictures were taken), and since I like to lounge, I just used the bed. Speed test showed around 100Mb/s down and 20 up, so no worries about network speed. While we didn't get a chance to explore the town of Safety Harbor, it looked very nice, and was very quiet. The space itself is located on a side street with very little traffic. and about the only noise you'll hear is the occasional squawk of the parrot at the shop next door. The space itself was clean and comfortable. Everything was in great condition. In the kitchen area, we were welcomed with a bottle of wine. There is a Keurig brewer and a nice selection of cups to choose from. There is no dishwasher, so you'll have to hand-wash your dishes. Oil, spices (including salt and pepper), etc. are not provided, so if you're going to do any cooking, be sure to pick up what you need when you get your groceries. The bathroom is nice and everything worked as it should. Nice towels are provided. While there was a bottle of liquid hand soap at the bathroom sink, there was no kind of soap in the shower/tub. We picked some up on our grocery run. That's the only negative thing I have to say about this property, and it's so minor an issue that I think says how good of a stay it was. Like the rest of the space, the bedroom was clean and comfortable. Plenty of pillows to suit your needs. No matter how nice a place is, things can break. We have all either experienced or read reviews where the host doesn't fix problems. Rest assured that isn't the case here. On our last full day, we realized the temperature was creeping up, and that the air coming out of the vents wasn't cold. I walked over to Paula's shop and spoke to the woman working there. She quickly started things in motion. Someone was there in about ten minutes to start checking things out to see if it was anything obvious (he was amazingly nice and apologetic about it as well). When he was unable to get it sorted, he brought in a portable unit to cool things off. Their HVAC contractor then came and got everything fixed. Well done!

Family summer vacation

It was clean, very friendly little town. Close to diners where we could walk for dinner, ice cream, or Starbucks. Maintenance was on the grounds working on other units and they were very friendly always made sure we had what we needed if we needed anything. Overall very cute little place for the time we needed it. Only thing we didn’t like was not having direct access to washer and dryer. I didn’t pay attention when I rented it especially since we spent so much time on the beach and needed to wash our bathing suits and towels each time.

This place is adorable! We stayed here for 2 weeks while waiting to relocate to our new home and LOVED it! Great location just off Main Street's many restaurants and shops, and easy walk to the pier on the bay. It was super clean when we arrived and our host, Paula, was always quick to respond. We would definitely come back here again!!

Cute Place in a Artsy Little Town

Cute Place in a Artsy Little Town

We enjoyed our stay in the Tropical Bungalow. The property couldn't be in a better location for exploring Safety Harbor on foot, being just half a block off Main Street, but quiet. It was near all the town's shops, restaurants and the arts scene. There was parking on the street right in front of the bungalow. Paula was extremely responsive to questions and in resolving the one issue that arose during our visit. The property was clean, well furnished, nicely decorated and comfortable for two adults and a small dog. We would absolutely stay there again and recommend the Bungalow for a short visit; for a longer stay, one might want to consider a larger unit. Finally -- something that we're finding during our rental stays during this time of COVID (and not unique to this property) -- the kitchens have very little in the way of basic cooking supplies. So, if you're planning on cooking, be prepared to bring the basics with you or purchase them when you arrive. Again, overall, a really nice couple of days in Safety Harbor!
