Safety Harbor retreat

We found a real gem when we discovered this little cottage just a few block off of Main St in Safety Harbor. Cozy and charmingly decorated with a up scale modern kitchen with all the amenities. A perfect place to relax when you want to but close enough to town to walk down town for coffee in the morning or dinner and a drink in the evening. You’ll want to stay a while

Safety Harbor stay.

What an amazing place! So peaceful. The outdoors is a perfect oasis for relaxing. The cottage is a short walk to town etc. Love all the live Oaks. The inside is decorated beautifully and the kitchen was great for cooking. We had to leave due to a family emergency and Steve could not have been more understanding and compassionate. Looking forward to our next visit.

Cozy Blue Heron Hideway

Fell in love with this comfy cozy, clean and nicely decorated cottage. 4 blocks from my favorite Gigglewater’s Restaurant. Perfect location. Quiet neighborhood, easy walk to everything Safety Harbor has to offer and so relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the seating areas and landscape. Owners are gracious and very attentive to our needs. Cottage well stocked with anything and everything you need. Just like being at home. Absolutely loved our stay and will choose the Blue Heron on my next stay in Safety Harbor, the gem of Tampa Bay.

Loved our stay here in Safety Harbor! The house was lovely and had everything you would need. Indoor and outdoor furniture were very comfortable. Landscape was very nice. All of Safety Harbor was within walking distance. I loved the various sitting areas. The house seemed larger than pictured. Safe neighborhood. Highly recommend!

The grounds were impeccable and inviting. The appliances in the kitchen were top-of-the-line. And all had a comfy, homey feel. Such a great neighborhood and walkable to all that Safety Harbor offers. The property is clearly tended to lovingly. Could not have asked for more.

We adored our stay The Blue Heron. We have been to Safety Harbor in the past and this is by far the best place we have stayed. Everything from making us feel at home to an extremely comfortable and clean environment was enjoyed. Well stocked with everything we may needed, we felt so welcome and pampered. Steve is a great communicator and answered all our questions. A super host indeed!! We are coming back next year to enjoy the house for longer next time.

Wonderful, comfortable stay.

We stayed at this property for a month. Safety Harbor is a lovely community and this property is in the heart of it all yet far enough away that you can enjoy quiet evenings. This property is well stocked with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The communication with the owners was excellent and they responded quickly to any questions we had always in a pleasant manner. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Great small town feel in a big urban area

Very nice mid-20th century bungalow, updated, well landscaped and conveniently located not far from the center of town. The home was well equipped and welcoming. One could enjoy a relaxing ambiance of the home. Safety Harbor has a traditional small town feel with excellent restaurants, quaint shops and many weekend activities. The area features an excellent trail system and easy access to Tampa and other cities in the area. Had it not been reserved by someone else next year, we would have booked another stay

We GREATLY enjoyed our time in this darling bungalow in Safety Harbor. It is cozy and comfortable yet quite stylish. The spa passes were FABULOUS. Each day I walked or rented a bike. we had a picnic at the harbor, strolled through the scenic downtown and read several novels. Delicious. We loved Safety Harbor SO much we are considering our own real estate purchase in this slice of heaven. What a great secret..shh..dont tell! Angi and Ken

Simply Fabulous

I don't actually want to write this review. Because I want to keep this darling bungalow a secret!!! Since the owners are so thoughtful and generous I can't not write this review. The home is clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable and every amenity one could need on a vacation is provided. We loved the neighborhood--it's old Florida with beautiful flora views from every window. We used the library cards for books and to rent movies--big bonus. There are charming small businesses to explore in Safety Harbor. We enjoyed daily walks. Thank you Melissa and Steve for sharing your magical home with us and thinking of EVERYTHING!!! Can't wait to come back.
