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.

Quaint apartment

The property is in a convenient location close to downtown tarpon springs. It was clean and felt safe. The larger bed was comfortable. They had plenty of towels, blankets, and kitchen stuff. The price was fair. Some things to note, though:-The listing does not show how small the second bedroom and bathroom are. They are very tiny. The shower was not standard size. -The second "bedroom" did not have a door.-The only bathroom is located in the larger bedroom.-The doors to the larger bedroom and bathroom do not shut completely.-There are two AC units, one in each bedroom. They don't keep the living area and kitchen cool.-If there is someone staying in the apartment upstairs, you can hear everything...Despite that, it was a pleasant stay overall. I would only recommend this place for a single couple.

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.
