The hosts were so amazing! This house is PERFECT! If I could give 10 stars I would! Beautiful decor, comfy beds. So clean! Excellent location to the Sponge Docks and Spring Bayou (the manatees!!). You must go to National Bakery (5 min walk!).

First off the house was immaculate. The decor was charming and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds very comfortable. Dana and Kevin went above and beyond. They replied to my questions almost immediately it seemed. So centrally located we only used our car once for food shopping and visiting the beach. The restaurants, piers, and retail shops were all within walking distance, as well as the Greek Orthodox Epiphany celebration. Will definitely stay there again.

We had the best vacation, the house is beautiful and was in the best location. The Host reached out to check on us several times. Beds were comfortable, house was spotless, and they had a big variety of board games and cards. We walked down to the sponge docks a few times (mostly to visit the bakery) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If you are looking for the perfect location and a fabulous house dont pass this one up.

Everything needed plus. Kitchen was supplied with everything. Dishes, towels, Insta pot, tea, pot, coffee machine. Also, they surprised us with some treats that were local from Tarpon Springs. Extra toilet paper, PT and trash liners. All the towels were brand new. Everything was impeccable. Dana and Kevin went above and beyond with 222 Hope St.,Tarpon Springs.

Impeccably updated and maintained home in a quiet walkable district of historic Tarpon Springs. Home and amenities were A, so many nice touches and elements to make you feel welcome. Beds and rooms were very comfortable, and everything seems brand new. Loved enjoying the morning with a coffee on the front porch. Easy stroll to the heart of town and the sponge docks. Great communication with the owner who was super helpful. Highly recommend and will book an extended stay soon.
