Wonderful cottage in an excellent location, walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and Old Town charm. Clean, bright, friendly. Don't worry about parking. There is a ton of street parking. In fact, your car was the only one parked on the block. We will be back.

Comfy Cottage

The grounds and cottage are very delightful with outdoor seating. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare meals. Beds were comfy. Loved being in walking distance to the Sponge Docks, restaurants and shopping. Bicycles were available to use and the bike trail was close by. John and Linda are very attentive and available for any questions or requests. Enjoyed sharing stories with John and appreciate his tips on places to visit around the area. Highly recommend staying here for a chill place to stay.

A few days to explore somewhere new , and the home didn’t disappoint, everything was incredible and such a beautiful home … the recliners were spot on after a day out.

Peaceful living unit with all access to Tarpon Springs area

This property is perfect for a couple that wants to be in the Tarpon Springs area with all of the amenities offered in this Greek community. The property is quiet, out of the way but easy access to everything. The living unit is well appointed and very comfortable. The air conditioning units are rather noisy but it would be the same in a motel room and, given the heat and humidity during our stay, they were running wide open.
