Five star host

This cottage was an excellent place to stay. We enjoyed the coffee, snacks and wine and grilled fish from the seafood market for dinner one night. We walked into town every day and thought Safety Harbor was lovely and had a laid back vibe. Farmers market on Sunday was fun!

Holiday Visit

We had a lovely stay at Casa del Tren over the holiday. The home was comfortable and well-appointed with everything you need. It was very near to town, yet in a quiet and peaceful location. The fenced-in and well lit patio was great for our family and the hosts were very communicative and accommodating.

John and Ellen are FANTASTIC hosts! They truly care about their guests, pay attention to every detail to ensure comfort, and are readily available to answer any questions and help in any way.

Life in Safety Harbor

I loved the area, lots of places to walk and visit, Folly Farms is a fun place. Many good eating place in SH and out on 19. Shopping was easy with several Publix nearby. Lovely boardwalks along Tampa bay with the Pelicans diving into the water for fish. Weather was good too. Loved the small town atmosphere and slow living.

Our stay at Casa del Tren was most ideal. The home was plenty big for our needs, it was a bright, cheery, peaceful space, it was very nicely appointed, the owners were very hospitable and always available should any questions have come up, the location is ideal with it only being a short walk to the downtown, the beds were comfortable and the place was kept clean. Casa del Tren was a wonderful base of operations for our adventuring in the area. Thanks so much, John and Ellen, for making our Safety Harbor vacation so positively memorable.

Unique & adorable property in Safety Harbor

Our stay at Casa del Tren was wonderful! We love the fun vibe of Safety Harbor-and the location of this property is perfect-so close to downtown! The house is clean, very nicely decorated, and had absolutely everything that we needed. John was so responsive to any questions that we had or anything at all that we needed.
