About this property

Palm Cottage * King Bed * Tropical Yard

Spacious and private Palm Cottage (520 sf) is in historic downtown Tarpon Springs, walking distance to the world famous sponge docks, located just blocks away from breweries, restaurants, and the Pinellas Trail. And the beach is only 3 mi away! The cottage offers king and twin beds, Wi-Fi, Fire TV, kitchen w/ full stove and fridge, coffee maker, toaster, pots, pans, dinette, and shared use of the back yard of our 120-year-old Victorian home.

The cottage is private, and the yard was designed to feel like a tropical paradise. Palm Cottage has a private bistro set, great for having a cup of tea or coffee and enjoying the outdoors.

Palm Cottage offers Florida beach town life at its finest. You can rent bikes nearby at Neptune's or Tarpon Tom's. You can rent kayaks or water bikes at Fred Howard. There are dolphin tours, museums, restaurants and so much more within walking distance. Or just hang out in the back yard with a beverage and unwind.

Tarpon Springs was founded in 1876 and thrived for decades on the industry of sponge diving. Now, the town has so much more to offer than sponge diving, but the rich history remains. Palm Cottage is located downtown in a residential historical neighborhood just a few blocks from Tarpon Ave (our "Main Street"). The main home is 121 years old, and the surrounding homes are historic as well.

We chose Tarpon Springs for its walkability. If you need rides to or from the airport or anywhere else, we have a driver we would be happy to refer you to. The Jolly Trolley is a great public transportation option. There's also a 46-mi bike trail one block away, with rental bikes close by as well. The beaches are a short bike or drive away.

If you need a ride to or from the airport (or anywhere else), we have a driver we can refer you to.

*Complementary mid-stay cleans with linen change are available for 2-4 week stays. Just schedule 3 days prior.*

Very cute antique type decor but that resulted in no comfortable seating for watching the tv. The king bed was way too soft. Shower was great. The courtyard area was beautifully landscaped but was way too hot to enjoy. It was very quiet. Lots of rules and warnings that made us nervous we would do something wrong and be fined.

Clean and quiet
Our stay at Palm Cottage was a perfect 5 day vacation. The cottage was equipped with everything you could want. It was spotlessly clean as well. Hosts were not around but responded immediately to a few requests like more coffee and beach chairs. I am looking forward to staying here again as the location is perfect for sponge docks, beaches, and restaurant. I recommend this property with no reservations.

Beautiful Property
Very clean and comfortable. For some reason, probably my own, we did not get an address of where we were going until an hour before we arrived. I did reach out for the address several times, so the start was a little stressful for us. No fault of the owner but the smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night, indicating battery needed replacement.

Good for a couple attending conference
The location was perfect for our purposes, within walking distance of the conference we attended. There were a few minor things which we noted with the owners (no dish towel or sponge, facial tissues, or convenient surfaces in the bathroom). Overall it was a great stay.

Re-Creation
We always look for places that provide a sense of restoration. Palm Cottage met that requirement fully. An oasis in the midst of a city. So close to the shops and restaurants that you can walk yet the court yard allows you too listen to the birds along with your morning coffee. This is a “go too” place.

5 stars! Great little place!
Highly recommend! Walking distance to a lot of restaurants. It was nice to park the car and not have to worry about having a few drinks. It was a bit of a hike to the sponge docks (around a mile), but really no big deal. If we would have been super ambitious we could have walked 2 miles to the beach but we opted to drive. Well worth it. I hope to come back again!

Palm Cottage Stay
Palm cottage in Tarpon Springs was the perfect place for us. We came to visit family in the area, spring training baseball, and the beach. We know the area well, and the cottage was centrally located to everything we came to do. Our favorite part was the peaceful, tropical, shared outdoor patio area. We had our coffee (provided) on the patio every morning. We sat out there after returning from Honeymoon Island and after walking around the sponge docks. We saw other travelers that were staying in the other cottages. Everyone was friendly, but we still felt like it was our own private space, because Lauren and Aric provided little areas for each cottage. The cottage itself, was very clean, air conditioner worked well, the bathroom shower was great, and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was completely stocked with anything you might need. We would love to return next year to your peaceful paradise. Thank you, Nancy and Owen

Chilling in Tarpon
This was our second trip to Florida and our second stay with this host. I had made a miscalculation on our travel time and did not account for our flight arriving at 6am. After checking the sites availability, and a quick message to the hosts, we were able to add on an extra day. They were awesome to work with. The property was clean and comfortable. It was exactly as advertised. We would definitely stay here again.
