Private Oasis

Our stay at Beverly & Jacks was absolutely amazing! They were wonderful hosts from booking to checkout! We especially loved meeting them for our tour of the home upon arrival and all of our correspondences were prompt & delightful. The property is pristine, spacious & quiet…and made us feel like we were at our own private retreat. It is a second floor residence with a view of the Bay on one side and private pool on the other & makes you feel as though you’re in a treehouse! (There is an elevator for luggage & groceries, as well as stairs for a great workout.) We spent our days lounging by the pool & evenings relaxing in the hot tub. (Both amazing!) The location is perfect for exploring the quaintness of Main Street as well as several local parks and attractions. We loved the area as it was very safe, central to activities in Tampa and Clearwater, and only 20 minutes to the beaches for suntans & sunsets. We would definitely recommend a trip to the Horseplay for Kids & Animal Sanctuary, and visiting the shops/restaurants on Main Street Safety Harbor & Dunedin for a more relaxed atmosphere. Sand Key Beach was also beautiful & less crowded than Clearwater/Pier 60. We wish we could have stayed longer to relax & explore more & definitely recommend a visit to this private oasis! We absolutely LOVED our stay!!!

Great Time in Safety Harbor

We stayed 8 days at Jack & Beverly's place in early April and had a great time. We visited St. Pete's, Clearwater Beach, Honeymoon Park and downtown Tampa which are all easy rides (40 minutes or less). We also spent a lot of time in the hidden gem of downtown Safety Harbor. The unit is ideal for 4-6 adults with three very comfortable queen/king bedrooms and a nice kitchen/living room. The best part is the access to the outdoors with the beautiful screen porch and amazing pool, hot tub and tike bar. Jack and Beverly were very easy to work with.

Beautiful Home & Great Owners!!!

I stayed with my 87-year old mom, my husband and a cousin from upstate New York. This house was amazing. Plenty of room for everyone and it had everything you could possibly need for your stay. While we don't cook on vacation, they even had spices, coffee, sugar, condiments for you to use. I had asked the owners if they had noodles for the pool. She mentioned that they had not, but went out and purchased them for use. I can't say enough how awesome Beverly and Jack are. If the weather had been a bit warmer in the evenings, I would have loved to have shared a drink with them by the Tiki Bar. Such a great couple.This home literally has everything you could possibly want for your stay.We also loved that Beverly and Jack showed us around the property - how to heat the pool, the hot tub, the tvs, the phone chargers, the kitchen.... They make your stay the best it can possibly be. We will be back!

Beautiful, relaxing stay with plenty of space

This rental had a lot going for it: friendly hosts, LOTS of room to spread out, gorgeous outdoor area with pool, hot tub, and tiki bar. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. The area is quiet, safe, had lovely views, and is close to a lot of convenient shops like grocery stores, big box stores, and pharmacies. I am hoping they will provide shampoo/conditioner at some point (the host told me they never have provided these, so be sure to bring your own), and it would be nice if they mentioned in the main description that the hearing of the pool costs extra money in the winter months (this info was buried in a subsection of the listing, so the request for additional poll-heating money at the end of our visit was a surprise to us). Also, the street address number is 6, not 7 as shown on the listing. All in all, a very nice place to stay and we'd rent it again.

We had a lovely stay at this property!

The home was very nice, exactly as described, with everything in perfect order and very clean. The pool and hot tub were fantastic and added a lot of enjoyment to our stay. One thing that surprised me was the owner's approach—I stay at many VRBOs, and it was unexpected that they wanted to walk us around the property upon arrival. The owners were also on-site during our stay more than expected. If you’re looking for complete privacy, this might not be the ideal spot, but for anyone who doesn’t mind having attentive hosts nearby, it’s perfect. Overall, it’s a wonderful property with great amenities!

Cancelled trip

Although I needed to cancel my travel to Fl and subsequently cancel this beautiful home rental, I wanted to leave a brief review related to communication with the owners. As disappointed as I was to have to cancel, the owners were terrific! Their communication was so very friendly, very clear and very detailed. They were extremely responsive and timely to my questions. This is always important to me and for this reason, I would book with them at another time without hesitation! In order to leave this comment I had to provide ratings. I rated it a “5” although it just refers to my communication with the owners and the other categories are really N/A due to the unexpected cancellation by me.
