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.

Great property in great neighborhood! This was the perfect little cottage for my daughters and I to stay for our short visit. Beds were super comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. Highly recommend:)
We enjoyed our stay very much. Short walk or drive to downtown Tarpon Springs and Greek Village. Got to see dolphins swimming in nearby bayou. Accommodations were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed.
My husband and I had an amazing two days. We live only an hour and half a way and found the perfect place for a stay-cation. Cozy and so comfortable we will be back!

This little cottage unit felt very welcoming the minute we walked in the door. Everything was perfect. It’s in a wonderful location as it is within walking distance to the bayou and the downtown area. There’s quite a few wonderful restaurants close by also. We loved it and will definitely stay there again.
