This lovely cottage is on a major road without much around it, but don't be fooled. It is perfectly situated. We walked to the sponge docks, up to the dog park and canoe launch and over to the historical downtown. The house is comfortable with everything we needed, and the hosts very kind.

Adorable 2/2 house, very clean, nicely decorated, great location, able to walk to neat restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend. Pat H. Texas

I attempted to stay at this property but my interactions with the host prohibited me from staying here. Originally made arrangements to stay on one date but erroneously had my dates changed to dates is did not desire. Contacted host when this problem was found to get a refund and book other dates but the host was difficult to communicate with and refused to accomadate me. finally was able to get a partial refund with help of VRBO. Host continued to lie to me saying only VRBO can do refunds and that was not consistent with information found on the website or from calls to VRBO. I wouldnt use this host again because i feel like they are more willing to scam you for money rather than help you have a good stay.

This was the 3rd time I have stayed there and it was perfect!!

Property was as advertised. Walking distance to both the Sponge Docks and downtown historic areas. Traffic is busy out front and music loud from the neighboring bar, but the music was good and we enjoyed it. They did stop at 11.

Perfect for two couples. Great location. Easy walk to restaurants and shops.

Pros: location, clean, nicely decorated, allows dogs, had everything you need Cons: the live band at the bar next door is very loud, they stopped playing at 11pm Fri and Sat. Street lights are bright, black out curtains would be an improvement

Owner was very prompt with responding. Suggested amazing, local spots to try. Menus for local restaurants are also available inside the home. I love this, especially because I love looking up menus ahead of time. Located behind local restaurant/bar that has live bands so if you’re a Karen, I would not suggest renting this home. We loved it.. walking distance to local band and they sounded great. Bartender recognized us from previous night. Great atmosphere, very friendly.

Jessica went way and above what she might have done to this little place and it was a wonderful stay. The outside isn't much but the inside is perfect! Nice furniture, excellent design, all the amenities. One bed is not all that firm, but the other is perfect. I really appreciated that there was a recliner (it's a double recliner couch.) The handicap rails in the second bath were also a blessing. Many reviewers have mentioned the bar across the street and you do know it's there. It's a karoke, evidently? But we're in our 60s and it wasn't an issue for us. Yes, it's loud. If you have small children it might be an issue if they're trying to watch tv in the evening. But it's a clean place and there was no traffic or issue with guests. And they shut if off at 10 during the week, 11 on the weekends. It was not a problem for us. And it's location and the beautiful decor inside more than made up for any noise for us. We come to this area for family visits and this will definitely be where we stay on future visits. Jessica was a delight, answering our questions and putting up with us. So thrilled to find this spot!

Wonderful location within walking distance of Sponge Dock area. Accommodations are well equipped and maintained in a comfortable. Great place for a weekend getaway.

We loved this little house. It was so cute and very clean.. The only negative was that the beds were not very comfortable.

The host is wonderful and caring. She has everything that you could possibly need available and the house is beautiful and very comfortable. I plan on returning again and again.

This is the 2nd time that I have stayed at this house and I just love it. It is the perfect size, very clean, so cute and perfect location that is easy to walk to downtown Tarpon or the Sponge Docks. The host is fantastic!!! They have of snacks and coffee and tea ready for you when you get there. Just an overall great experience. I can't wait to go again!!

This was a nice property, well maintained and comfortable. Very close to the sponge docks. All within easy walking distance. I would recommend adding a basic tea kettle to your kitchen and also adding motion sensing night lights to the bathrooms. We have found these most beneficial at other VRBOs. I would have liked to found a journal of past visitors as they have really good information on places to visit or see.

The house was so nice, clean and the size was perfect. The owners were great and very responsive to any questions I had. It was in a perfect location where we walked to the Sponge Docks, the Pinellas Trail and downtown Tarpon. I definitely recommend it and I will be staying there again. Thanks so much!!

We enjoyed the (3) Days & Nights spent at this property in Tarpon Springs. Prior to our trip we communicated with the owner via messaging in the VRBO website but shortly after arriving at the property the owner called us to inquire if we had arrived and if everything was to our satisfaction. She also sent a text towards the end of our stay with some check out instructions which I replied to after we left. We asked and the owner was able to accommodate our request for early check-in at 1:00 pm for a small fee for the cleaning person. Upon arrival we found the unit clean and very nicely furnished. There is ample parking. We had our (2) dogs with us and there is a nice park, the Pinellas Trail and a Dog Park a couple blocks away. Early in the morning I would take my dogs out to the front yard or walk them up and down the main street in front of the house for a couple blocks. Later in the day I would take them up to the park. (Note: Carry doggy bags with you and pick-up after them always) There is a small convenience store/gas station across the street from the property which opens at 6:00 am and after taking the dogs out I would walk over to get myself a cup of coffee. I picked up some soda for my husband to keep in the fridge since he doesn't drink coffee. The kitchen is stocked with coffee and a coffee pot if you prefer to brew your own. The location is ideal for access to the Tarpon Springs Sponge Dock location and all the shops and restaurants. The house is located on a main street running North-South in Tarpon Springs which is busy during the morning/day but at night is quiets down and there is a restaurant bar next door which had some music one night but not so late as to affect our sleep. As noted above the location is great for access to so many things.

We stayed 3 nights in this charming 2 bedroom house. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house is clean and well equipped with everything you might need. The hallowe’en decorations were a nice touch. The great thing about this rental is you are a 2 minute bike ride to the Pinellas bike trail and the sponge docks. You can bike to Dunedin and to Honeymoon State Island. The storage unit for our bikes was appreciated. Unfortunately this house is located beside a busy road and there is a bar across the street where music plays until 10 on weekdays and 11 on weekends. If you are okay with the noise, this place is perfect.
