So convenient and incredibly clean

We just wanted to be close to the beach, but I'm kind of picky about the cleanliness and safety of rentals. I usually stay down in Clearwater or St Pete but it's often a crap shoot with rentals, but Tarpon Springs is very different. I was looking for something different, untouristy - this is exactly that. There's not a lot of rental options near the water which is what makes Tarpon Springs so quiet and relaxing, it's neighborhood after neighborhood with a small downtown and sponge docks nearby. The reviews on this rental were amazing which caught my eye and they lived up to their score! The unit is on the backside of a house in a little neighborhood that felt safe and only two blocks from the water and a mile to the beach. The kitchen is very well stocked with every dish and appliance you can imagine. Lots of other supplies and amenities as well. It was July and felt like 100° so we did not end up using the bikes to go to the beach, we drove instead, but the bikes were very conviently available, along with coolers and beach chairs and beach towels! The owners were so sweet, right there if you need anything whatsoever, or invisible if you don't. Would definitely recommend their place but I just found out they also have a rental in Dunedin, which I want to visit next! I'm just stuck on their cleansiness and ease of reservation and check-in:-)

Convenient and Quiet

As many have said, the property is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood. The large apartment is quiet with a view out to a large back yard. There is good parking in the front. The AC unit cools fairly well although we had to turn it down for it to reach the bedroom. We used two of the bikes and they were wonderful to ride to the nearby parks. We would have used them a lot more if it hadn't been so hot and humid when we were visiting; we're not accustomed to those temps! Tarpon Springs is a wonderful town and one can easily visit St. Petersburg and Tampa from here but enjoy staying in a smaller area. Don't miss dining on the waterfront at Rusty Bellies. It is a popular restaurant, and reservations are advised. Marvelous food!
