Property has everything you’d need for a getaway and great location near all the walking distance restaurants and shops! Comfortable bed and very clean overall. Beautiful interior decor and large comfortable balcony under two massive oak trees. Across from Sunday Market in the park. Would love to come back!
We have stayed at this apartment twice, and it is beautiful. The location is excellent - just steps away from shops and restaurants. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need. Safety Harbor is a lovely town.
The apartment has recently been remodeled and everything is new or like new condition. The location is right in the heart of downtown so walkable to all the shops and restaurants and waterfront. A/C works great too and you'll need it this time of year (June) in Florida.
Perfect location to walk everywhere in Safety Harbor
Lovely 1 bedroom place on second floor so there are stairs only for access. Roomy place was good for 3 friends (we are good at sharing 1 bathroom). Beds and sofa comfy. Full kitchen with fridge, keurig, microwave, no dishwasher. Lights and ceiling fans. A/C is excellent. TV and WiFi worked well. Host is great and responds to questions quickly. This is our #1 location when looking to visit Safety Harbor.
The property was just as described. Right in the middle of Safety Harbor Main Street. Walk down the steps and go either way, right or left.Tons of restaurants, cute boutiques and bars with live music. Large outdoor sitting area. Perfect under shade of large live oaks. Comfortable bed and sofa. Parking on site. Would definitely stay again.
Great stay in the heart of Safety Harbor's cozy town. Unit was clean and provided what we needed. Paula's communication was excellent.

Acorn Terrace is a nicely updated 1 bedroom apartment in downtown Safety Harbor. Located right on main street steps from restaurants and shops. It's 2nd floor location with terrace overlooking the street is a nice place to enjoy a glass of wine and people watch. Unfortunately the short turnover inbetween guests did not allow for the property to be cleaned properly and we found the unit very dirty. Paula the property manager offered to reclean but we had already moved our belongings inside. Love Safety Harbor and in the end had a wonderful time.
Lovely small town with many restaurants. Lots of places to walk either through the quaint neighbour hood or along the paths by Tampa Bay. Our room was beautifully appointed and we loved every minute of our two week stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. It was very clean and comfortable and very well equipped. We had everything we needed. The location was also perfect. Right on Main Street, an easy walk to numerous shops and restaurants. Paula was a great host and responded to all of our inquiries very quickly. We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Safety Harbour.
The host, Paula was wonderful. The location was perfect. The place was very clean and within walking distance of the downtown restaurants and amenities. Overall it was great.
Thanks Paula
We thorough enjoyed our second stay at this VRBO rental for two days. This time we brought our dog, as Safety Harbor is a very dog friendly community. The rental was lovely, at the center of it all on Main Street, and we can’t wait go return for a third visit.
Great location in Safety Harbor! Beautifully decorated, clean and come with great amenities! We will definitely stay here again, but may try another room to see which one we like the best!
We rented for 3 nights and happened to be there on the third Friday of the month, which is when they close down the streets and have live music and food trucks. We were able to walk everywhere. Perfect location! Plus, the place looks just like it’s pictures and was very well maintained / clean. Would stay here again!
What an amazing stay and very convenient location. Clean, comfortable and literally within 25 feet from Main Street which has a selection of great restaurants. The owner, Paula, was a pleasure to speak with. Will be staying again, hopefully soon.
We are from the area and visit family often here but needed our own place to stay this trip. We brought our baby and two dogs and couldn't have had a better time. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we could possibly want or need for an easy and awesome stay. We have stayed at a few places on this property and all have been wonderful experiences.
