This home is absolutely beautiful and all the details put into the designing of this home is superb. The beds and couches are comfortable, the kitchen is stocked with everything you would need, and the main strip really is just a five minute walk away. It’s a very quiet area and it’s right behind Hella’s bakery, so if you sit out on the front porch, just be warned.. it smells heavenly! Anything you could possibly need is within a 10 minute drive. I would highly recommend this home and the hosts are a remarkable! We would love to come visit and stay here again

Loved the house ….. location, location, location. Quick walk to Hellas Bakery, Sponge Docks and Spring Bayou for manatee sightings.Hosts provide a beautiful coffee bar and a well furnished home. Front porch is so inviting but weather was unseasonably cool so we were unable to sit and enjoy that amenity. Beautiful community to enjoy - hope to visit again!

We had the best vacation, the house is beautiful and was in the best location. The Host reached out to check on us several times. Beds were comfortable, house was spotless, and they had a big variety of board games and cards. We walked down to the sponge docks a few times (mostly to visit the bakery) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If you are looking for the perfect location and a fabulous house dont pass this one up.

Impeccably updated and maintained home in a quiet walkable district of historic Tarpon Springs. Home and amenities were A, so many nice touches and elements to make you feel welcome. Beds and rooms were very comfortable, and everything seems brand new. Loved enjoying the morning with a coffee on the front porch. Easy stroll to the heart of town and the sponge docks. Great communication with the owner who was super helpful. Highly recommend and will book an extended stay soon.
