It was perfect for the two of us. Easy to find, safe area. Conveniently located close to historic Tarpon Springs which gave us a great afternoon of walking the shops and enjoying lunch on the water.
The acorn cottage was very cozy and nice to stay in. It appears somewhat small from the outside but it is nicely put together with a moderately sized bathroom, large bed, and an open dining/common area. The amenities were very nice and we used the grill, toaster oven, fridge, and dishes extensively. The outdoor shared area was much better than expected and was very enjoyable to relax in the mornings/evenings. We would recommend staying here, though our group would love to stay at the palm cottage if possible. Lauren was a very informative and helpful property manager and helped address all of our needs!
We didn't need much and weren't staying for a long time. This place is small, but was fine for us. If you follow the directions everything is pretty easy to enjoy the accommodations. We were able to walk downtown or drive if we wanted. Nice to be able park in a nice parking lot close to the living area. Patio is nice and we didn't use the grill but its close to the living quarters. We had a great time and will definitely consider renting again when in the area.
This property was perfect for two guests on a weekend trip.
Location was great with easy access to shopping and dining. My only complaint would be if you could possibly have a trash can for renters to use that is closer. Smallest complaint ever. LOL Thank you for allowing us to stay.
The Acorn cottage is a cute (very small) space that has everything one or two people would need for a short getaway. It’s clean and comfortable and the courtyard is beautifully landscaped and a nice place to sit and relax. It’s close to great food and fun in Tarpon Springs and the neighborhood is very quiet at night. The only downside is that it’s located next to city hall and there is currently construction going on at city hall so it’s noisy on weekdays, but that’s not a problem if you don’t plan to sleep in late. Overall it’s a great place to stay and we would definitely stay there again.
The location is not even close to the water front view. That photo is around 10 blocks from the property. Shower is not working properly. Place really clean and rich on details but the location is not related to the photos.
Enjoyed our stay. Comfortable and convenient. Room was clean and the patio was pleasant. Toilet flushed slow sometimes and gurgled some. Might need to be looked into.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Very difficult to get from parked car to unit. High steps from street level need railing, had to open gate to drive in to unload but sign said do not open gate. Best thing was location close to activities.
The place is "as advertised" and was perfect for our needs. It was in great condition and very clean. The renovations well done. Would definitely stay there again.
