Met my brother and sister in law for a week in Safety Harbor. Stayed at the Casa on Palm Ave and we all loved it. The great room was great for everybody and the outside deck was wonderful. Bedrooms and attached bathrooms were nicely appointed. Very clean throughout and very well maintained. We will be back the next time we have a chance.

We enjoyed a relaxing 6 week stay at the property with our two small dogs. The house is spacious and in a quiet area that is easily walkable to downtown Safety Harbor. The host is extremely responsive to any issues or questions. We would stay again.

Great stay!

The house is at the end of a quiet street, it feels like you don't have neighbors which was nice. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. Had everything we needed for our stay. There are restaurants and coffee shops near by. Safety Harbor is located in the middle of everything. We very much enjoy our stay and the location. Would stay here again!

The house was in a private location but just four blocks from downtown. It was an easy walk to get to shops and restaurants. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure was amazing. We didn’t cook but used the coffee bar which was a welcome feature. John was available for questions and provided loads of information on the many TVs, places to go, and restaurants. Our girls week was great. We met the nicest people in town. Don’t miss Nona’s pizza and Bassano Cheesecake for great coffee and desserts!
