Communication with host was prompt and seamless. Home was clean, neatly kept with some kitchen essentials present. So convenient (walkable) to "downtown" Safety Harbor and all it has to offer. We appreciated the pet friendly-ness as well, as we had our dog with us.

Host was beyond gracious providing toys for our baby and checking in to make sure we found the place okay. The cleanest and most elegantly creative homes we have stayed in. Between the wine crate stair case, wine barrel coffee table and patio furniture and the little touches like coffee and filters, seasoning and cleaning supplies, made staying here carefree and fun. We will definitely be back!
