Amazing Stay in Safety Harbor

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was fantastic—super walkable with cute restaurants just around the corner. It was easy to find with convenient parking, which made everything stress-free. We enjoyed walking down to the beach and exploring the adorable town of Safety Harbor. The rental itself was quiet, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would absolutely recommend and would love to come back!

Cute studio

We enjoyed our stay. The studio was perfect for our needs. We were lucky enough to stay the 3rd Friday of the month when the town holds a street festival which music and vendors. This was a nice addition to our stay. I gave cleanliness 4 stars because there were a couple of cleaning issues that were addressed with the owner. The studio is on the 2nd floor, which I did not know.

Great Location

This was a very nice stay in a great part of town. You are right on Main St with loads on great restaurants and bars. Pizza at Nona Slice House is a must. The host was very helpful. There was an AC issue in the unit so prior to check in we found we would be put at the uptown studio instead of this one. It was cute and had everything we needed for a short stay.

A cute place and a great property manager!

Had a wonderful few night stay. The apartment location could not be better as it is literally on the main street of Safety Harbor. The apartment itself is perfect, very cute and had everything you could want, a kitchen, full size fridge, and a comfy bed. The property manager is also great! While I did not meet them, I accidentally left my retainer behind and was so grateful they were able to find it and send it to me.

This was the cutest little studio rental. We had just enough room and just enough amenities - it was decorated just beautifully and we felt so welcomed and relaxed during our stay. We will definitely look into staying here again when in the Tampa/Clearwater area. What a great little town!!!

Great location

This spot was perfect for 2 adults. The studio had everything we needed. The property owner was very responsive to my questions. In addition to the accommodations being perfect, the location on Main St. was great. It was easy to walk everywhere in downtown Safety Harbor and along the bay. A pleasant surprise was the farmers market across the street on Sunday morning.

Main St Safety Harbor

The location was perfect for me. I am a morning person and loved being able to walk or jog down to the harbor everyday and the sunrises are breathtaking! There is always some kind of event or celebration going on in town as well and by staying here, I didn’t have to worry about driving or parking to enjoy them! The apartment is perfect for a single person or couple and the owner was easy to reach if I had any questions as they have a business downstairs.

Located in the middle of main Street. Convenient to restaurants and stores. The studio apartment has a small kitchen. We only used the microwave as we ate out at the many restaurants in walking distance.

Beautifully Decorated and Comfortable with an Incredible Location

Safety Harbor is a charming small town, and this studio is perfectly located to take advantage of all it has to offer. It is centrally located on Main Street right in the middle of shopping and restaurants, and very close to a great walking trail along Tampa Bay. The apartment (upstairs over a great shop) is very clean and beautifully appointed with charming beachy accents. Although I took advantage of having so many wonderful restaurants in walking distance and so didn't cook, there is a full kitchen and everything you could need to make a meal. I did use the Keurig both mornings, with a nice selection of k-cups thoughtfully provided. The hostess was very responsive to messages. The bed was very comfortable and the bath towels were luxuriously soft and fluffy. A large television mounted on the wall came with access to Netflix, Hulu and others. This was a super relaxing getaway, and I hope to get back and stay here again soon.
