The cottage was everything we wanted and more. We were greeted by Vivian and entered into the most relaxing and immaculate cottage filled with music ,candle scent and prefilled refrigerator with snacks to make us feel right at home. We were recently displaced from the hurricanes and under a tremendous amount of stress. But as soon as we were greeted early for our stay she made us feel welcome and at ease. The views of the bay were gorgeous and the morning sunrise coming through the front windows are breathtaking. Their cottage was filled with everything we could ever need. They were also very accomodating when our length of stay was up in the air due to our next rental being not available.

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage!! My wife and I are originally from the area and were down visiting friends and family for Christmas. The location is phenomenal and so convenient for us being that we have people to connect with all over Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. We loved walking our dog along the bayside into downtown Safety Harbor to enjoy the restaurants and shops, and waking up every morning to the sunrise over the bay was an awesome way to start our morning. The hosts were extremely accommodating, they even had the place decorated for Christmas when we arrived. It was a five star experience from top to bottom, we will definitely be staying here again when we make our annual trips to the Tampa Bay Area!! ##### Colby B.

We won’t wait for another flood to come back – this one is on the list! The cottage is exactly as pictured, eclectically curated with just the right amount of kitch to remind you its 100 years old. The pantry is plentiful and the hosts are warm and welcoming. The location is perfect, just a 15-minute walk to the busy Main Street shops and restaurants. However, once you step onto the front porch its easy to forget where you are as you take in the lush surroundings, peaceful view across the bay with great sunrises each morning. ##### Scott S.
