Oct 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Impeccably updated and maintained home in a quiet walkable district of historic Tarpon Springs. Home and amenities were A, so many nice touches and elements to make you feel welcome. Beds and rooms were very comfortable, and everything seems brand new. Loved enjoying the morning with a coffee on the front porch. Easy stroll to the heart of town and the sponge docks. Great communication with the owner who was super helpful. Highly recommend and will book an extended stay soon. ##### Douglas K. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kari L.
