Fun time in SafetyHarbor

The property was excellent; very clean and welcoming. The host made everything seem brand new. The table was beautifully set and there was a chilled bottle of wine with two glasses in the refrigerator. The spacious rooms were a delight especially the sun room with the day bed.

Safety Harbor Comfort

Very comfortable and pleasant house! We had everything we needed and were even welcomed with some wine! It was so nice to come back to the property after our visits with my nearly 90 year old parents who live about 10 minutes away. Safety Harbor is such a lovely hamlet. We would walk to dinner downtown most evenings. While in the area we went to Sand Key and Honeymoon Island State parks on a couple of afternoons as well: quite easy to get to.Loved our stay!As a bonus, we saw at the pond across from the drive into Casa Artista one morning: a roseate spoonbill, white egret, snowy egret, little blue heron and a white ibis. Pretty cool!

Breakfast on the terrace

We had a delightful 7-night stay at Casa Artista--clean, comfortable and quiet. The owner was very responsive when we didn't understand how to adjust the A/C. The terrace is actually more private than shown in the photos and has a lovely view to the East and rising sun in the mornings. We walked to Main Street the first day but then decided, as elders, it was easier to drive our car. No problem finding parking near shops, restaurants or Sunday market.

Safety Harbor hideaway

Echoing what all who have stayed here have said: Great value Great location Great communication Great community Safety Harbor and John and Ellen’s Casa Artista check all the boxes for a great stay. P.S. Pups love the fenced-in front yard and long walks through Philippe Park and on nearby Main Street, where you’ll find many great restaurants (Parts of Paris a must).

Spring Break in Tampa Area

Highly, highly recommend staying in the Safety Harbor home!!! The home was just PERFECT for our 6 night stay in the Tampa area. The neighborhood was safe and quiet and it was such a quick walk to the cute Safety Harbor downtown and marina area. We enjoyedshopping in the cute shops in downtown Safety Harbor and eating at the French restaurant, Nona's pizza restaurant, and the Greek restaurant in downtown Safety Harbor. Everything was very clean and comfortable in the he! We loved the home and community so much that we contacted a realtor to start looking for a home to buy in Safety Harbor that's also close to the downtown area in preparation for our retirement in the near future. We want to get a sailboat and the downtown and marina area just perfect!

Restful Retreat

Super cute, bungalow situated on a quiet street. The home is just a few blocks from the center of town with multiple dining and shopping options. The airport, beaches and excellent shopping are less than 30 minutes away. There’s a sweet courtyard that offers views of the wildlife enjoying the fenced pond across the drive. We saw parrots, storks, herons, and a kingfisher with the most beautiful trill. Turtles and an alligator were also present. Our puppy enjoyed patrolling the fenced in front yard as we sipped our morning coffee on the porch. The two bed and bath suites which are on opposite sides of the house were small but more than adequate. The kitchen, dining and living areas were modern and well equipped. The generous size of the laundry area was much appreciated. The three of us found no major complaints. This is a perfect place to just ‘be’. Thanks John

My husbands enjoyed bike riding every morning, and our dog enjoyed playing in the all fenced in yard!

The property was located in a great location. It was very quaint and cozy. The hosts were very gracious and made your arrival a true treat. It was close to all of the Safety Harbor attractions. My wife is a walker and was very pleased with the trails close by. Phillipe Park is a treasure itself and a must see. We highly recommend this property to others.
