About the host
Hosted by John Oden
Hi, This is John, and my lovely wife Ellen :)
We are your fun-loving hosts!
I grew up on a farm in Nashville TN. Raising horses, and goats, and going to fairs to show our Shorthorn cattle have occupied my earlier years. I am currently managing IT in a software company that has an office in the Tampa Bay Area. When I am not pounding on the keyboard, I involve myself in renovating houses, gardening, cooking, and entertaining friends and family.
My wife Ellen was born in China, a true city girl, her interests are more in art & Electrical Engineering. She came to the states to research high-voltage transmission, but I really think she came here to find me and my secret BBQ recipes ☺
We love to travel together and have been to Beijing, Hong Kong, London, Vancouver... Everywhere we go, we try to stay away from hotels, staying with locals is way more fun.
Ellen and I completely fell in love with Safety Harbor on our first visit. Safety Harbor is one of the most charming southern cities, It offers amazing natural beauty as well as superb restaurants, and cultural experiences. Best of all, the locals are the most friendly people we have ever met.
We have since bought and renovated 4 vacation homes in Safety Harbor. Casa la Joya is the newest one!
If You are Interested in knowing our other homes at Safety Harbor, they are not hard to find online: Casa del Tren (4-6 Guests, Pet Friendly), Casa Artista(4 - 6 guests, Pet Friendly), Casa la Cala (4-6 Guests, Pet Friendly).

Why they chose this property
Casa la Joya is located on the tranquil south side of charming Safety Harbor. 3 Blocks to the Tampa Bay water front and Just steps to all the action on downtown main street.
Amazing local restaurants, pubs, and shops. Marina Park, which includes the Marina Pier, and the Tampa Bay waterfront are just a relaxing short stroll from your front door!
A walk/run/bike paradise - Marina Park also features a pedestrian and bike trail which provides an elevated path among the mangrove trees as you head north toward Philippe Park. Heading south on the path you will enjoy a beautiful view of Tampa Bay as it extends all the way to the Courtney Campbell Causeway beach and trail which goes across the bay to Tampa. Did we mention Philippe Park? Don’t miss it! It is amazingly beautiful, also on the Tampa Bay waterfront.
