Great, Affordable & Very Spacious

Had a great stay! Even with 10 people, we still had a lot of room. On kind of a busy corner, but was very quiet inside and so close to downtown. Well stocked and nice place, everyone was happy! Would definitely stay here again.

Liked there was a parking area behind the home for 4 cars. Very clean but know you need to bring all toiletries with you. Some soap dispensers full but others had very little. Would love to see lamps in every bedroom as well as luggage racks. Please bring your clothes hangers with you- very few in closets. The fences in yard is not attached to back door. The fenced in area is nice but the gate to get in has a gap around opening a dog might be able to get out. Loved the old house feel to it. There is traffic noise due to it being on Alt 19- 2 blocks away from downtown Tarpon Springs. We would stay there again.

Lovely home

The home was perfect for our group. There were 4 bedrooms upstairs with two bathrooms and an additional bedroom and bathroom on the main floor. It was perfect for three adults and two teenagers to each have their own rooms. The layout was easy for us all to gather and spend time together over meals and coffee. The house was very comfortable in terms of temperature and space. Additionally, the host was very responsive and kind. We would consider renting again in the future.
