About this house rental

Imagine dropping back in time to old Florida at its best - oak trees draped in Spanish Moss, Alligator Lake in view, and sunrises & sunsets filling the sky with beautiful pastel skies. Welcome to the Safety Harbor Bird House.

With a view of a scenic, fresh water lake located on the edge of Tampa Bay, the Bird House is perfect for guests who enjoy a natural setting while also being very close to the conveniences and small town amenities that Safety Harbor has to offer.

We call it the "Bird House" because of all the birds that can be spotted on or nearby the property - herons, egrets, ibis, pelicans, hawks, wood storks, parrots, gulls, cormorants, woodpeckers, ospreys, songbirds, and more. It is a unique, sanctuary-like setting and a cabin feel.

Two levels with three bedrooms, two baths and an inviting 32' x 10' covered deck. A sanctuary-like setting with birds and other wildlife. Centrally located in Tampa Bay.
The upper level includes the living room, kitchen/dining area, master bedroom with a king-size bed, a small bedroom with a twin bed, and a shared bathroom with a tub/shower, and the 32' x 10' covered deck with great views of the back yard and the lake.

The lower lever features a living/kitchenette area complete with a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, sink, granite counter tops and cabinets. Yes, a second kitchen!! The living/kitchenette area has double glass doors leading out to a deck area and the back yard. There is also a bedroom with a King size bed and another set of double glass doors to the deck and back yard. The bedroom has a second room in the back, with a twin bed and a barn door to close it off for privacy. Shared bathroom with shower. Utility room with a washer and dryer is also on the lower level.

Very close to Ruth Eckerd Hall performing arts center, and not far from The Sound amphitheatre, Bilheimer Capital Theatre, and Clearwater Beach.

May not be suitable for young children due to steep inside staircase, outside staircase to deck and pond in neighbor's unfenced yard. Contact host to discuss further.

Our family was traveling to the Tampa area for a celebration with family who lives there. The Bird House was a short 10 minute drive from most locations we visited. Our adult son has mild developmental disabilities and autism and was THRILLED when he saw that he had his own private area downstairs with his own bath, etc. He seldom gets to enjoy that much privacy. (The steep stairs were a bit scary for us “old folks”, but he managed them just fine.) My husband, sister and I enjoyed having our morning coffee each day on the upstairs balcony, as well as having everything we needed in the kitchen to fix breakfasts and snacks. Lol - I even came home and already ordered the shampoo brand from Amazon that you had in the upstairs bathroom because it was so nice! The peace and quiet was such a nice respite from the parties and celebrations of the weekend. We will be back!

We're picky about where we stay. MUST be clean, quiet, good location, well-stocked, good communication, prompt assistance when needed, quality furniture (& mattresses), and reliable appliances. The Bird House met all our requirements and EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. We are picky and we had not a nit to pick. Mark and Cynthia are EXCELLENT hosts. It was immediately apparent from our first communication that they make every effort to accommodate their guests, and they succeed. We have rented many properties (30+) over the last 20 years and the Bird House has been our BEST EXPERIENCE.

The owners provide everything you can possibly need in this clean and well maintained Old Florida house. It is in a perfect location down a side road, under Live Oak trees - walkable to Main Street Safety Harbor and a short drive to all of Tampa Bay - a relaxing and special Oasis. We loved our stay!

Not often do we rent a house that had absolutely everything! Mark and Cynthia have lovingly restored this lake front home leaving a few hints and touches of the Old Florida I recall growing up in mid-century, while adding in every modern convenience. Gorgeous new kitchen appliances, sparkling bathrooms, excellent lighting for either a romantic mood or bright enough for older eyes to cook and read. Comfortable furniture throughout and most all of it solid hardwoods or carefully curated antiques. They carried the Bird House and sea side theme throughout— original art, handmade pottery, bed and bathroom linens, and accessories. All carefully chosen and placed. Everything we needed was at the house from the reverse osmosis water filter on the two kitchen sinks, bottled water in each refrigerator, snacks, pantry items, flashlights, batteries, binoculars, and even umbrellas in a basket by the front door. Anything you would want, you just looked in the logical place for it and there it was. When the front door lock gave a low battery notification, Mark was over at the house within the hour changing out the batteries for us. When a line of storms came through, and we were under a tornado warning, we headed downstairs and found a room with no windows and a barn door to close behind us. Fortunately, we received only rain and enough wind to blow some leaves off the trees, but I had to laugh at how the house even had a safe room! What a rare find this house truly is!

We had a great stay at the Birdhouse. The property was exactly as promised in the online description. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching the birds and other wildlife chasing one another through the trees and yard. The house was really close to downtown Safety Harbor and right off of 590 and close to I-19. Only 30 mins to Clearwater Beach. Overall we had a fun time out and about and a great house to come back to and unwind from the day's adventures.

My husband, adult granddaughter, and I enjoyed our stay at the Birdhouse in Safety Harbor. We loved sitting on the upper porch watching the birds and other wildlife in the area. We were able to have a couple of meals with our daughter who lives in the area. The dining room table gave us plenty of space. We hope to be able to come back again.

This is the first time my wife and I spent a month in a Florida to escape the cold. We couldn’t have picked a better property and location. Everything far exceeded our expectations. Mark and Cynthia were excellent hosts. We can’t wait to come back next year. Joe and Carol from Nebraska

Annual Vacation with friends

Annual Vacation with friends

Every summer 3 friends from college and I take a vacation together. We choose Safety Harbor because of its small town charm and to visit the spa. The Bird House was perfect for lazy mornings on the porch drinking coffee or late evenings enjoying a cocktail on the deck. The backyard is gorgeous and you can see the bay. Kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of towels. We all were reluctant to leave and go home.

I can't say enough good things about my stay. The home was clean with beautiful views, 3 walkouts, comfy bedding and beautiful decor. This home is on a private dead end with nice quiet neighbors. The communication with the owners was very pleasant and they responded promptly to any questions. What made it over the top was the thoughtfulness they put into our stay with their amenities; cold drinks, snacks for kids, goggles, beach supplies, ect. This was by far one of my favorite rentals. Super close to main street which we went to daily, busch gardens, clearwater beach, ect.

Perfect!

Perfect!

I knew it was gonna be good. But I had no idea it was gonna be GREAT! This property is close to everything. On a dead end where there is no traffic, & it makes it feel safe for any family! The owners did a fantastic job prepping this house out for renters on vacation. They are on time, & have everything you need while you stay. (Except food obviously which is any house). This house with its finishes, location right next to water, & just the space & cleanliness makes it perfect. Oh, and the backyard/deck is paradise!!! They are willing to listen to you if you reach out. Mark takes in any ideas too. I've already told them when we come back down to see my family again we are renting this place. Why would we look anywhere else honestly? No need. Any family or maybe a couple coming down....you will not regret staying here. And they are right in line on the price. Its worth every penny! Thank you again Mark & Cynthia for letting us enjoy your home! We made many memories with my family I hadn't seen in years! Can't wait to come back!

We stayed at the BirdHouse while taking care of my mother-in-law’s house. It was the perfect place to relax after long and emotional days. The house was clean and had everything we needed. So grateful to Cynthia and Mark for their communication. Hope to go back one day when our schedule isn’t so packed so we can fully enjoy the house and it’s proximity to so many things. 10/10!
