Breakfast on the terrace

We had a delightful 7-night stay at Casa Artista--clean, comfortable and quiet. The owner was very responsive when we didn't understand how to adjust the A/C. The terrace is actually more private than shown in the photos and has a lovely view to the East and rising sun in the mornings. We walked to Main Street the first day but then decided, as elders, it was easier to drive our car. No problem finding parking near shops, restaurants or Sunday market.

Safety Harbor hideaway

Echoing what all who have stayed here have said: Great value Great location Great communication Great community Safety Harbor and John and Ellen’s Casa Artista check all the boxes for a great stay. P.S. Pups love the fenced-in front yard and long walks through Philippe Park and on nearby Main Street, where you’ll find many great restaurants (Parts of Paris a must).

Spring Break in Tampa Area

Highly, highly recommend staying in the Safety Harbor home!!! The home was just PERFECT for our 6 night stay in the Tampa area. The neighborhood was safe and quiet and it was such a quick walk to the cute Safety Harbor downtown and marina area. We enjoyedshopping in the cute shops in downtown Safety Harbor and eating at the French restaurant, Nona's pizza restaurant, and the Greek restaurant in downtown Safety Harbor. Everything was very clean and comfortable in the he! We loved the home and community so much that we contacted a realtor to start looking for a home to buy in Safety Harbor that's also close to the downtown area in preparation for our retirement in the near future. We want to get a sailboat and the downtown and marina area just perfect!

Great little house on a quiet street. Nice neighborhood, just a short walk (5-7 minutes) from the center of town. All kinds of good restaurants, and happy faces everywhere. A fine welcome, with a bottle of wine and everything to manage a home for two weeks.

Restful Retreat

Super cute, bungalow situated on a quiet street. The home is just a few blocks from the center of town with multiple dining and shopping options. The airport, beaches and excellent shopping are less than 30 minutes away. There’s a sweet courtyard that offers views of the wildlife enjoying the fenced pond across the drive. We saw parrots, storks, herons, and a kingfisher with the most beautiful trill. Turtles and an alligator were also present. Our puppy enjoyed patrolling the fenced in front yard as we sipped our morning coffee on the porch. The two bed and bath suites which are on opposite sides of the house were small but more than adequate. The kitchen, dining and living areas were modern and well equipped. The generous size of the laundry area was much appreciated. The three of us found no major complaints. This is a perfect place to just ‘be’. Thanks John

Lovely home thoughtfully decorated

The 2 queen bedrooms gave us more than enough room for us to spread out. This was a working vacation for some of the week and the WiFi was great! The decor is so lovely and quaint. We really didn’t need to buy much because the homeowner provided so many conveniences for us.

We wish we could LIVE HERE!

This has been our 3rd time my husband and I stayed at Casa Artista and we just loved it so much! My favorite part was that it being just a couple minutes away from all the great restaurants on the Main Street.. My husbands enjoyed bike riding every morning, and our dog enjoyed playing in the all fenced in yard! As always, John and Ellen are the most gracious hosts, kept the house in the most impeccable condition, quick to respond and gave us the up to date recommendations of the newest hot spots and activities ! We really wish we could just live at Casa Artista, can’t wait to come back!

The property was located in a great location. It was very quaint and cozy. The hosts were very gracious and made your arrival a true treat. It was close to all of the Safety Harbor attractions. My wife is a walker and was very pleased with the trails close by. Phillipe Park is a treasure itself and a must see. We highly recommend this property to others.

Great house and location in Safety Harbor

We very much enjoyed our stay in Safety Harbor. The house was great. Extremely comfortable beds. We were not able to enjoy the beaches with the Red Tide, but a couple of side trips to Tampa, a college visit to USF and a couple of trips to Tarpon Springs madr for a nice time. The hosts were great and answered questions in a very timely manner. Definitely recommend.
