Undesirable location
The inside space was nice. Maybe could have used a more comfy couch. Decor was nice. I understand why there were no outside area pictures. If I had seen the area, I would not have booked this site. The host was very helpful and checked on us during our stay.
Cute little house within walking distance of the park and water!
We arrived at night so it was a bit confusing because GPS takes you to the front and the apartment is in the back but we figured it out. The apartment is EXACTLY as pictured- modern, cute, clean, and just right for a couple. Had the necessary amenities to cook and live for several days. We weren't sure how close it was to the water but it is about a 4 minute walk to Craig Park where we saw tarpons and manatees! It is also about a 10 minute walk to the cute historic downtown with a coffee shop. Host was very communicative as well.

Awesome location with a short walk to downtown. Host was very responsive. The area around it shows a lot of damage but it seems those homes are being addressed with repairs etc. The area itself feels very safe. Cons: no tv in the bedroom or laundry options.
The cottage was beautiful and clean, we were close to restaurants and events. Our favorite place to visit is Tarpon Springs, we will use this cottage again. Nina our host was awesome.
Loved this place. So cute and had everything you need. We took our bikes to ride the trails, so the location was great. Property manager was so nice and attentive. Would stay here again.
Had a lovely stay at this cozy Tarpon Springs VRBO. We have family in the area and plan to arrange future visits here! Cozy cottage, comfortable bed, hot shower, very clean and seems to be newly decorated.
Highly recommend!

This was such an adorable property. I loved that they had beautiful decor, but that it wasn’t overly cluttered. Some VRBO’s overdue it and forget a guest brings their own stuff. I would absolutely stay here again.
We came down from Panama City for a weekend away and to catch a Rays game. The home couldn’t have been more perfect for our stay. Perfect location as it was close to all the sights and restaurants. The home itself was comfortable and had EVERYTHING that you would hope for a rental to have. Communication with our hosts was also very helpful. They were immediate in their replies to any questions and very helpful.
We will definitely be back!

This is a great place to stay. Our host was so accommodating, and checked on us several times. Our small puppy was welcomed, and it was so convenient not to have to go through a hotel, elevator, lobby etc...to get her out. The area is in transition with very expensive homes to one side, and renovations to the other, but the property is so comfortable and cute that this did not detract from the stay at all. I enjoyed all the fun decorating touches, the extras for the kitchen and beach, and the very comfortable bed! Thanks for a great stay! I want to come back.
The apartment was as described. New, modern and clean. My husband and I stayed for a week and a half. While there really isn't much outside space to enjoy, the apartment was as decribed and clearn. The neighborhood was quiet and within walking of downstown, including Spring Bayou. It is also close to the Pinnellas bike trail. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Lipstick on the pig
No outdoor space. Felt confined in an air conditioned box. Very little storage. Too many kitchy decor items that got in the way of getting access to our own things. TV channels limited so missed our Leafs vs Tampa in NHL playoffs. The lighting was way too bright in living room for evening relaxing. Pictures on VRBO are wide angle and don't represent the actual place.
Hi! I just want you to know we just left the unit you have in Tarpon Springs. We just loved it!! It was exactly as described, beautiful decor, SUPER clean, comfortable bed, lots of parking and nice BIG bathroom! Thank you also for allowing this unit to be "pet friendly" we had plenty of places to walk our dogs, and they just love it when they can vacation with us! Although we did not cook, the kitchen was totally supplied with everything you could possibly need! My only suggestion is to inform the renters that the couch is not a pull out bed, but let them know you have a queen-sized blow up mattress. (very comfortable) but, I would also inform them that you supply a manual pump for the blow up mattress (not electric) but that it is a manual pump and not an electric pump. We were there during Collage Rival football games, and my husband really enjoyed your TV!! The AC worked perfect as did every appliance. I forgot my hair dryer and my cream rinse, I was so happy that you supplied them with your unit!! Other than the "manual pump" for the blow up mattress, I would describe your unit as BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT!! We had such a great time!! We were visiting our son, his wife and grandkids. On our last night we all went to "Mr. Souvalki's Greek Restaurant. (two minutes away!) it was delicious, authentic greek food, very large portions and very reasonably priced! We all had left overs to take home. I would highly recommend asking for a waiter named Leslie! He was totally awesome and anticipated our every need! We were all so full after our dinner but we really wanted to try their Baklava and rice pudding. He was so sweet that he brought one of each to our table and comped us for the desserts. DELICIOUS and FRIENDLY is all I can say!!! Your Tarpon Springs Unit is close to everything. Beach, Sponge docks, great food and shopping! We really had a great time and we will be certainly returning!
The pictures of the VRBO are very accurate. All the furnishing are very retro. The bed was comfortable. There is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and bathroom. The outside entrance was lit so you could see at night. The owner responded in a timely manner when we had questions.
It would be good to let guests know ahead of time that there is no cable TV, only Netflex.
The couch is beautiful but it would be good if there are a pull out couch. An air mattress with an automatic pump would be better. We did not attempt to use the pump in the room.
We would definitely stay again
This modern one bedroom house was perfect for my daughter and I. It’s clean, updated, and close to everything! The owners are quick to respond and very hospitable. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely stay here! ♥️
Everything was great but the TV. Only Netflix available, and there were technical issues launching Netflix. Place was nice, clean, and well stocked. Communication with property manager was excellent. Would definitely stay again.
In the area for an event and looking for something just far enough from the crowds. So happy to have found this cozy home away from home in perfect location. It had just the right amount of space with everything we could have needed.
Location! Location! Location! This place was very central to activities in the town and the beach. Clearwater is only about a 35 min drive and the commute was so comfortable we kept going back.
The triplex was very well kept and we enjoyed our stay. For just my hubby and pup it was more than enough.
I would recommend this property to friends and family.
