I don't actually want to write this review. Because I want to keep this darling bungalow a secret!!! Since the owners are so thoughtful and generous I can't not write this review. The home is clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable and every amenity one could need on a vacation is provided. We loved the neighborhood--it's old Florida with beautiful flora views from every window. We used the library cards for books and to rent movies--big bonus. There are charming small businesses to explore in Safety Harbor. We enjoyed daily walks. Thank you Melissa and Steve for sharing your magical home with us and thinking of EVERYTHING!!! Can't wait to come back.
Owner response:We are so pleased you enjoyed our home and the time with your family. We love SH and when people call us back and say how much they enjoyed the house and the town we are thrilled. Melissa & Steve

We GREATLY enjoyed our time in this darling bungalow in Safety Harbor. It is cozy and comfortable yet quite stylish. The spa passes were FABULOUS. Each day I walked or rented a bike. we had a picnic at the harbor, strolled through the scenic downtown and read several novels. Delicious. We loved Safety Harbor SO much we are considering our own real estate purchase in this slice of heaven. What a great secret..shh..dont tell! Angi and Ken

Dennis and I rented this property in Safety Harbor January/February of 2009. It was a perfect escape from winter up north. Safety Harbor has a quiet, small town atmosphere and provides local activities including street fairs, farmers' markets, art, music, and wonderful little restuarants where we were made to feel like a part of the community. The house is beautiful, comfortable and filled with everything necessary plus many extras. We used the Spa passes every day for workouts and aerobic classes. The community of Safety Harbor is great for bike riding, running, and relaxing; however, it is a short 15 minute trip to Honeymoon Island and a beautiful beach. Also about 15 minutes away is the Pinellas Bike Trail which runs through other quaint artsy communities. It was a wonderful vacation, and we can't wait to make a return trip.
Owner response:Dear Debbie & Dennis, Thanks so much for your positive comments on our home. We love to hear guests comment on how much they enjoyed Safety Harbor..It is a treasure. Melissa & Steve

Don and I stayed in the bungalow in Safety Harbor in Dec. 06 and January 07. It was one of the most delightful vacations that we have experienced in the Gulf Coast area. The house is cosy and very well appointed. The neighbourhood is quiet, safe and friendly. The Guest passes to the Spa were a wonderful added feature. We used the Spa facility every day. The biking and the walking are attractive features in the area. Tennis courts are close by too. Safety Harbor is "Florida's well-kept secret"! We are booked again for next season.
