Relax Relax Relax...sit on the porch and watch the world pass. My family & I have created a sweet & memorable home for our guests. After days spent at the beach or golf course, fishing, boating, hiking or antiquing among other pursuits you will welcome the return to our lovingly restored turn of the century cottage.
Abundant space (2400 sq ft) with plenty of privacy also..the cottage is a single level, free standing private home with up to date amenities and plenty of parking. Walk 2 blocks to beautiful Spring Bayou with its flower beds, seawalled promenade and gallery of Victorian homes. Watch dolphins and manatee in the quiet bayou or drop your fishing line into the quiet water and try your luck. A short 15 minute walk takes you to the historic Sponge Docks area with its working waterfront, Greek restaurants and cafes.
There are several excursion boats to consider and quaint shops to browse in...including a haunted soap shop next to the Cuban cigar makers. Gulls and pelicans criss-cross the blue sky and flocks of noisy African parakeets fly from ship to ship. Cooking smells from the numerous restaurants mingle with the briny scent of the nearby Gulf of Mexico. People wander by savoring delicious looking pastries from the many bakeries that line the main street. Grab a dockside bench and watch the crab, sponge, fishing and pleasure boats pass along the Anclote River.
Our cottage is also convenient to banks, antique shops, restaurants and the great, new Public Library in downtown Tarpon Springs. Our city has a wealth of cultural events all year long and the renowned Pinellas Trail for running, biking, walking is 2 blocks away. We love our cottage and think you will also.

Why the Owner Chose Tarpon Springs
For vacationing with my family.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Ours is a quiet and very comfortable house. The layout allows for easy movement between rooms, tables, desks and comfy chairs for reading & writing. Unless you desire to golf or go to any of the nearby beaches a car is not necessary during your stay. We have 2 covered porches to sit on and dream. There is abundant wildlife to be seen including Red Headed Woodpeckers, Seagulls, Osprey, Morning Doves, and Hawks. No alligators, however this being Florida you can drive and find them. Tarpon Springs is about 2 hours from Disney and Universal, 50 minutes from the Tampa Airport and Busch Gardens.
