Great place

This stay was almost perfect. The location was central all the places we wanted to visit. Most within walking distance. The property was well maintained and the unit itself was immaculate. There was construction going on but that is not the fault of the host. Would definitely book again

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.

Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Palm Cottage for two weeks in January (except for the weather---cold, through no fault of owners). Loved the king bed, comfie mattress, the cottage had everything we needed. Parking was well lit. It was nice to walk easily to downtown Tarpon Springs, to Walmart, to the Spring Bayou. On a few nice days we enjoyed sitting outside on the lovely patio. Thank you so much.

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.
