Quaint apartment

The property is in a convenient location close to downtown tarpon springs. It was clean and felt safe. The larger bed was comfortable. They had plenty of towels, blankets, and kitchen stuff. The price was fair. Some things to note, though:-The listing does not show how small the second bedroom and bathroom are. They are very tiny. The shower was not standard size. -The second "bedroom" did not have a door.-The only bathroom is located in the larger bedroom.-The doors to the larger bedroom and bathroom do not shut completely.-There are two AC units, one in each bedroom. They don't keep the living area and kitchen cool.-If there is someone staying in the apartment upstairs, you can hear everything...Despite that, it was a pleasant stay overall. I would only recommend this place for a single couple.

Comfy Cottage

The grounds and cottage are very delightful with outdoor seating. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare meals. Beds were comfy. Loved being in walking distance to the Sponge Docks, restaurants and shopping. Bicycles were available to use and the bike trail was close by. John and Linda are very attentive and available for any questions or requests. Enjoyed sharing stories with John and appreciate his tips on places to visit around the area. Highly recommend staying here for a chill place to stay.

Cute but lacks cleanliness

Overall, it is a very cute property with nice decor and well stocked with items that are needed for your stay. It was a relatively quiet place, though if there is anyone on the top floor, you can hear all movements and footsteps, which made it a little difficult to sleep. The main problem that we noticed was a very dusty/mold like smell as soon as we walked in. My friend and I are both allergic to dust and mold, so our allergies were acting up the whole time. But the most concerning part was the black mold we found throughout the shower, especially coming from the shower head, and all over the shower head cord. The shower floor was also stained and dirty, along with a line of black mold on the bottom of the shower curtain. We felt more comfortable wearing flip-flops in the shower. Lastly, we found a small dead bug on one of the pillow cases in the guess bedroom. I very rarely write reviews, and am usually pretty passive, but I truly felt this needed to be known, and I hope that these issues are resolved before the next guess comes for everyone’s safety and comfort, because it is a very cute place to stay.

Tarpon Springs

I loved staying here! The location was perfect; only a short walk to the sponge docks with shopping and restaurants and literally across a street from a beautiful park and spring. The neighborhood is quiet. John was an excellent host and responded immediately to any issue or question. My only issue was that the listing indicated there was a hot tub, but there was not. I would have used it had there been, but it was fine without one. I would definitely stay here again!
