Fun location, walking distance to docks, new pickleball courts, near by beaches

Voted best historic small town. This spot will put you in the middle of it all, surrounded by shops and restaurants less than a 5 minute walk to the famous sponge docks and blocks from historic downtown. Walk to restaurants, bars and shopping. Your a block to the bike trail and new pickleball courts at the end of the street, minutes to parks and the beaches.

This is a super cute house. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The location couldn't be beat as we walked to the Historic Greek area and the Sponge Docks numerous times and to the other Historic Downtown several. Communicating with the property manager was super easy.

Great house

We very much enjoyed our stay at the property. It is well located and very well decorated. There are very many restaurants and the Sponge Docks within walking distance. I was impressed with the smalls things add that you normally don’t see in a rental like charging ports, nightlights in bathrooms, and comfortable beds. We also had good communication with the owners. We will stay in here again when visiting the area in the future.

We were in a bind because a house we rented through another service was double booked. That other host, through that other service, really messed up the start of our vacation. In desperation, I reached out to Michelle about this property. She went over and above to get us a place to stay. I can honestly say I have never had a better host, and I've stayed in a lot of VRBO properties. The house itself was beautiful. Incredibly clean, and in a great location. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

Long family weekend

We went to Tarpon Springs for a surprise birthday celebration for my aunt. The location of this rental is absolutely perfect. We were able to walk to The Sponge Docks while we had some down time and everything else was just a short drive away. The house was perfect for us and our daughter and family. We will be back the next time we are in the area visiting family.

Walking distance to downtown Tarpon Springs and to a fantastic splash pad for kids. Michelle was a wonderful host and was very flexible with our stay when our flight was cancelled.

The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to all my questions. The house is walking distance to the sponge docks, shopping and restaurants. We even walked to the historic downtown area which was quite unique and charming. Found a great beach too at Honeymoon Island that was only about a half hour away. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very clean, nicely decorated, open concept 3 bedroom home. Short, easy walk to the sponge docks and many restaurants. 2 couples stayed for a week while attending an on water training camp. We walked to Craig Park twice daily, cooked almost all meals at the house. Enjoyed the back porch and adirondack chairs. Host was quick and easy to communicate with.

This property was precisely what my family and I needed for our visit. Every step of the way, Michelle was available and promptly replied to any inquiry or concern and just went above and beyond what we asked for. The location is perfect for my kids - next to the sponge docks, splash pad and pickle ball courts while being a short drive to the beach! The house was stocked with more than I could've asked for including games and toys for my kids!
