"Highly recommend this amazing home! It was spotless, well stocked, goodie’s for the guests and a hand written welcome note that made us feel right at home! The fenced in porch and backyard was fabulous, our fur-sons definitely gave their approval. The home was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beds were extremely comfortable. Excellent communication from the host. Clear and easy check in and check out information. We will definitely be back!

Family stay for my son‘s wedding
The home was a wonderful greeting to my family of 6+3 dogs. I had my mother there who is elderly and my cousin and they stayed in the master and then two couples stayed in the other rooms which included myself. It was great having three full baths, the back patio is awesome! It kept the dogs confined ! We cooked for an after wedding event at the brides house and the kitchen was very sufficient for that. I did a crab boil for the kids before the wedding. It worked out great! It helped That my boyfriends parents live in the area Since I needed to borrow an extra pot. It was overall probably my best Vrbo experience! Highly highly recommend stay at the South properties . The location was perfect , Set an acute neighborhood with a little town, full of shops and restaurants!

Very Clean, Great Location
Our stay was excellent! We were a group of (2) in our 50’s and (3) in 80’s. Here are some positive and “good to know” highlights: Positive: - great communication with owner, very responsive - super clean property - location is .5 mile, easy walk, from downtown safety harbor - area felt very safe - neat wildlife around property - well appointed kitchen - great decore around the house - beautiful wrap around porch - nice coffee bar that has small pit and Kuerig (some pods on-site to welcome guests that first morning, otherwise bring your own coffee) - the twin air mattress is very comfortable and holds air well overnight - excellent water pressure in showers - some shampoos/conditioners on-site “Good to know” (some recommendations to owners): - we left an umbrella there as a house donation, as we didn’t find one on-site (rained during our stay)…hopefully will be useful to other guests when it rains during their stay - plenty of chairs on the porch, but loungers would be nice for relaxing - recommendation…mount long mirror on the wall Thank you John and Ellen for the beautiful home to stay in!

Perfect Location for Relaxing Vacation
Chose property based on near beaches and nearby activities. Did not have any knowledge of Tampa/St. Pete area. Safety Harbor location is perfect for couples and dogs. We are active early 60's, came here for vacation and some work in Tampa. House was perfect for dogs and relaxing stay. Host could not have been nicer or more helpful. We walked 2 blocks to different restaurant every night. All were exceptional for food and friendly service, great vibe in the town. Very dog friendly, ad safe to walk around. Food also casual gourmet, took our dogs and ate best tuna and grouper meals. Large park and bayside walkway for exercise and dogs. I wish we had time to enjoy the casual cycling. We were also in the best location to explore the whole Clearwater/St.Pete and gulf coast. Would not have benefited us to rent on the beach as "None" allow dogs with exception of a few, very small areas that were nowhere near other rentals. We were central to drive to the few dog beaches. This house and location was perfect in every way. Even without animals, perfect location.

Great getaway for rest and relaxation!
We really enjoyed the property overall. It was clean and bright right from the first step into the Casa! The home had everything we wanted. It was spacious, comfortable and private! We have two small dachshunds so the fenced porch was a great place to hang out and not have to has them on their leads. The was sizable and looked out onto trees. The neighbor was quiet. We felt very comfortable there. It was also handy for short walks to the pier or short drives to the parks and across to the gulf area. There was no shortage of things to do. We liked the village environment. It was very laid back and casual. Not very touristy which was a plus for us! If I had one thing that could be improved on, it would be the grass and yard. Besides that, we had a great time! The hosts are very attentive. They addressed any concerns that we had. I would definitely recommend any of their properties confidently. They would be at the top of our list of properties that we have visited over the years! Just loved it!

From the cleanliness to the fresh towels/linens and even a chilled bottle of wine waiting with snacks to greet us! Could not say enough about this home except I would love to own it myself...having a wrap around porch with fire pit just adds to the charm and if you ever want to visit Safety Harbor this is a must !

We Came Back!
Our experience in August of 2021 was so awesome that we knew exactly where we wanted to stay when we returned! We so appreciate the little touches like the snacks and beverages, especially after our long drive down from NY. The home is bright, clean and so comfortable. We have so much fun entertaining my local family on the huge wrap around porch. My sister loved the house so much that this year she stayed at another property of John and Ellen's next door in Casa Artista so she and her family wouldn't have to drive back and forth across the bay from Riverview. Thank you John and Ellen, we are already looking forward to next years visit!

From the first time talking to John I knew that we made the right decision booking here. Everything you could possibly need they have thought of including a coffee bar. The moment we walked in, it felt like home. The pictures are exactly as the home is, complete with large deck and a fire pit. Can’t wait to book again, the host was amazing and very accessible.

The Best Hosts
We were at the home for recovery from surgery so cleanliness, comfort and convenience were all important. We got it all and more! The home is bright, cheerful, and the owners have paid attention to details! The deck is amazing and was a positive for us. Each BR had a bath, it was fresh, clean and decorated so cute! We can’t say enough about the hosts! They are the best we’ve experienced. We highly recommend this home and if you get a chance to sit by the fire pit you’ll enjoy it as well.

Home Away From Home
John and Ellen have thought of every little detail to make you feel welcome into their home. As former residents of the area the large wrap around porch was the perfect place to visit with our local family. We loved that we were walking distance to Main Street and the Safety Harbor Pier. If you are a morning person I highly recommend walking down to the pier for the sunrise. You won't regret it! From now on John and Ellen's properties will be our go to place to stay when we come back home for a visit. It truly was a home away from home for us.
