☆Vintage 1948☆ FLORIDA COTTAGE PETS WELCOME! SUPER CLEAN! VERY QUIET Sleeps4

The most unique thing about our rentals is we are a 'Mom and Pop' type family style rentals.

On purpose we decided to keep our little business small and fun.

We are located in a residential area. NOT A HUGE condominium type thing or a 55+ trailer park.

From the front of our home just off the road our home looks like a normal typical 1950's bungalow..............

but once you go through the back private gate....... It's paradise! Between our home and the cottage is the pool and 'tubbie' This creates a completley private space for you.

Of course the pool and 'tubbie' would for guests to use if they prefer.

In the 'winter' Dec-Feb. we try to maintain the pool temperature at a nice warm 76-78 degrees. By the end of Feb.the pool temp. is a warm 80-85 degrees.

The best part is, since guests don't have to 'fight, bribe or lunge or have someone hold your lounge chair should it be claimed by some poor soul who has been wandering around vainly trying to find that *perfect* lounger.

Whether a guest is on a cruise or at some condo or worst of all those 55+community we strive to be the exact opposite. At your home here it's so private that we only need 2 loungers with 'comfy' cushions.

Our backyard is {private, quiet, lushly landscaped and Ohhhhh so quiet!}.

If you like privacy and safety and art, gardening or just reading a book this is the place for you!

I am an artist and enjoy many mediums. My main passion is pottery so officially I am a Potter. I do ceramics and the really neat thing is my guests are told to feel free to 'putter' about my studio.

*WHEN OPEN*This is free of charge to 'putter' about and get dirty.

OK,enough about the art.

The entire yard is fenced in so if you do have a favorite pet, no worries they are safe.

We also will 'pet sit your Fido, kitty, birdie, hamsters or whatever God's creature you may love.

If you enjoy physical biking we have bikes, 1-women's and 1-men's free for your use. Decent bikes, but in great shape. There is a trail Pinellas Bike trail that is a wonderful renovated train line. You can bike from St. Petersburg (south) to Tarpon Springs (north) Tarpon Springs is a very cool historical town. Sponge divers from Greece came over hundreds of years ago to dive for {what else}SPONGES. To this day they still dive for the sponges. But the main attractions now are the quaint, cozy shops for tourists there also is an awesome place called Pappas' The favorite dish is called {what else?} Greek salad. Underneath heaping plate of lettuce and feta cheese is a surprise which I am not going to say what it is. Our guests will have to check it out themselves.

The seafood is excellent, I would recommend the fried Calamari.

This area in Tarpon Springs is about a 1/2 hour drive depending on the time of day. The police department is rather small, but 'mighty' Watch your speed.

If you prefer to ride bikes it takes about 1 or 1/2 to 2 hours. Keep in mind that Fl. does not have many hills. Mostly flat the Pinellas trail is very flat and easy to ride. a beautiful ride,

As for other interesting things to do. Downtown St. Pete is 1/2 hour away and is a great place for shopping. Many artist shops and one of a kind unique botique's. This is a must see town. There is the Salvador Dali museum in St. Pete. and the Chihully Glass museum. That is a Must See! Truly breathtaking.

Busch Gardens Amusement Park is about 1 hour north of here and I would recommend that over Disney World anytime. Disney World is about a 2 hour drive again depending on traffic.

For a great local day try parking for free at Indian Rocks Beach and Taking the Jolley Trolley to Clearwater Beach or better yet you can hop on/hop off up and down the beach. Your'e able to go all the way to St Petersburg Beach and then on to St. Petersburg Downtown for lunch and shopping. a nominal fee for the trolley.
