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 !

May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Old Florida with updated accommodations First off, the communication with the owners was outstanding. They are truly superb hosts. The house was immaculate and had several unexpected treats awaiting us upon our arrival, which were fully appreciated. We experienced great weather while there and sat out on the expansive back porch quite a bit. The porch furniture is a bit retro but just not all that comfortable for sitting as long as we preferred to while enjoying the weather. The house is located in a very private spot at the end of a street in a residential neighborhood. Though the trees and shrubbery mostly block the view of other homes, we could hear casual conversations and music coming from the neighbors when they were also out in their yards. This was not an issue for us, but it’s important for people to understand that it truly is a residential area. The benefit of its location, though, is that it is definitely within walking distance of the cute downtown area as well as the waterfront. When we did take the car to these areas, we also noticed that it was very easy to find parking spots. As far as the interior, it is so nicely decorated and comfortable. The stay helped us to experience a taste of a quintessential Florida neighborhood and charming town. ##### Marie C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristina S. Aug 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Kristina S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darci F. Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Darci F. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phillip G. Jul 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Phillip G. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy T. Sep 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### One of the best rentals we've ever booked! We have nothing but super positive things to say about this place. Roomy, tastefully decorated and with all the modern amenities (and then some!) we could possibly need. Communication with the owner was easy. Some bonus tips for future guests: We paid $35 each for a day pass at the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa, and it was worth every penny. The pass gives you unlimited access to all 3 pools (one large outdoor resort-style pool, one indoor, and one lap pool) and all the perks and amenities offered to full members, including access to a locker and bathrobe (the locker rooms were surprisingly large and well-equipped, too). The pool bar food is excellent. Totally worth it. We had intended to spend a couple of hours working out and doing pool laps... we ended up spending the entire day enjoying the outdoor pool and property! The resort is a short walk from the house. \*Everywhere\* is a short walk from the house. Truly a very convenient location right in town. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We felt right at home. Highly recommend. ##### Nancy T. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela W. Feb 21, 2019 #### Superb Florida Retreat and Host My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful week in Safety Harbor's Casa la Cala. From the minute we drove onto the property, John welcomed us to this completely renovated home, with its spacious wrap-around deck, in a private natural setting. We have previously vacationed in the Tampa and Clearwater Beach area, however, this was our first visit to Safety Harbor. We prefer VRBO properties by premier partners and were not disappointed. The property listing was very accurate and John was very helpful in answering questions, sharing additional information about the area, and assisting with special requests, before we arrived and during our visit. You will find that Casa la Cala has been completely renovated with quality craftsmanship, equipped with excellent furnishings and appliances, that you will see from the minute you open the front door. It is somewhat difficult to spotlight some of the favorite features about our stay because there were several (i.e., king-sized master bedroom suite, private bathrooms for each bedroom, spacious open floor plan, high efficiency HVAC, stocked coffee/tea cart, full-sized and high-end appliances, serene deck/patio area) . Although the master bedroom suite is very spacious, we did find the two remaining bedrooms are very small and somewhat cozy for a couple. They would work well for a single adult or older teen. The property is within walking distance to restaurants and the Safety Harbor Spa and a short drive to area beaches. We certainly appreciated John's assistance by presenting us with a beach package to enjoy Clearwater Beach. Thankfully, before making a decision to rent this property, we read the posted reviews from guests who have rented other properties, owned by John. These owners consistently receive high praise and we are joining the fan club. Casa la Cala definitely deserves to be classified as a top-tier property. We would welcome an opportunity to return, with other friends or family, when future plans include a visit to the Tampa area. ##### Pamela W.

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! ##### elsie c. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey W. Apr 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Tracey W. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen S.

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. Safety Harbor is a cute little town with a vibe of its own! ##### Nicole A.

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. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance!! This home is a PLUS!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 15 nights in Mar 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Clearwater-Beach-Resort-Spa.h2703419.Hotel-Information) > > [Bellwether Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Bellwether-Beach-Resort.h26262.Hotel-Information) > > [Opal Sands Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Opal-Sands-Resort.h14189.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Clearwater Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Clearwater-Beach.h15569207.Hotel-Information) > > [The Don CeSar](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-The-Don-CeSar.h16658.Hotel-Information) > > [Devon Shores](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Brightwater-Suites-On-Clearwater-Beach.h10634721.Hotel-Information) > > [Bilmar Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Bilmar-Beach-Resort.h9862.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Hilton-Clearwater-Beach-Resort-Spa.h28023.Hotel-Information) > > [Shephard's Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Shephards-Beach-Resort.h869973.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Shores West](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Grand-Shores-West.h53819952.Hotel-Information) > > [Sirata St. Pete Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Sirata-Beach-Resort-St-Pete-Beach.h900047.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cabana Clearwater Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Hotel-Cabana-Clearwater-Beach.h4606407.Hotel-Information) > > [Pier House 60 Clearwater Beach Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Pier-House-60-Clearwater-Beach-Marina-Hotel.h1622046.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beachcomber](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Beachcomber-Beach-Resort.h15938.Hotel-Information) > > [Dolphin Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Dolphin-Beach-Resort.h2179320.Hotel-Information) > > [Innisbrook Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Innisbrook-Resort.h16668.Hotel-Information) > > [Treasure Island Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Treasure-Island-Beach-Resort.h13340469.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn & Suites Clearwater Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-Clearwater-Beach.h27691.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandpearl Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Sandpearl-Resort.h1460.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn St. Pete Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-St-Pete-Beach.h9021.Hotel-Information) > > [Barefoot Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Barefoot-Beach-Resort.h1375270.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset Vistas Two Bedroom Beachfront Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Sunset-Vistas-Two-Bedroom-Beachfront-Suites.h871861.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn St Petersburg Treasure Island](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Residence-Inn-St-Petersburg-Treasure-Island.h7979.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Clearwater-Beach.h15914352.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Clearwater Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Clearwater-Beach.h19682879.Hotel-Information) > > [RumFish Beach at TradeWinds](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-RumFish-Beach-Resort-By-TradeWinds.h8544.Hotel-Information) > > [FUSION Resort Waterfront Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-FUSION-Resort.h36176495.Hotel-Information) > > [Island Grand at TradeWinds](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-TradeWinds-Island-Grand.h1914.Hotel-Information) > > [Thunderbird Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Thunderbird-Beach-Resort.h892702.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunburst Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Sun-Burst-Inn.h10013729.Hotel-Information)
