The large yard and children’s toys and equipment made it especially fun for our multigenerational group. The hosts were amazing – thoughtful and responsive to every situation and need. We give “Blue Gecko” our highest recommendation. ##### Christopher P.

They allow you to feel at home during your stay - no multiple sheets of paper listing rules and regulation for you to read. You also do not feel spied on. I love the Blue Gecko and it will be our place to stay on all our trips to the area. It is our Home away from Home! ##### Joycinth B.

My parents live about ten minutes from Blue Gecko. The rental arrangement was perfect: my husband and I stayed in the studio apartment and my son and his family in the house. Both places were charmingly decorated: appealing to adult tastes, yet whimsical for younger tastes. Clearly the owners are grandparents: toys and children's books as well as other items were available! The house and studio apartment were immaculate and well equipped. Our host was attentive and good at communicating with me before and during our stay. When the local power went off our first night there, he verified the problem with the provider and gave us more details about what was going on. He was ready to contact them directly if the problem had persisted, but thankfully we didn't have to wait too long before we had power again. Safety Harbor is a great town in a quiet area. Tampa and several beaches are nearby. Philippe Park, one of my favorite places in the Clearwater area, is about a ten minute drive from the rental. My family had a great time in Florida, and Blue Gecko was a big part of that! ##### Katherine H.

We loved that Blue Gecko was a short walk to restaurants, bars, shops, and the waterfront. The main house and guest house were clean, nicely decorated, and well-equipped. The outdoor space, front porch and back deck, were very pleasant. Our hosts Mike and Beth were attentive to our needs. They left clear instructions, making check in and out and finding things around the house easy. We would definitely return to Safety Harbor and stay at Blue Gecko again! ##### Christine S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### john g. 26 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Blue Gecko in Safety Harbor 6 adults stayed here for Phillies spring training games. The house is in a good location within walking distance of Safety Harbor shops, restaurants and the waterfront. It’s about a 15 minute drive to the Phillies complex and about 25 minutes from Clearwater Beach (depending on traffic). The house and the additional outbuilding were perfect for the 6 of us. The main house slept two couples while another couple used the completely self-contained extension of the garage. It was everything we needed for our quick getaway. If I could give the hosts more than 5 stars I would. They were very accommodating to our separate arrivals and eventually delayed departures, and they were very responsive to our needs. ##### john g.

The members with children stayed in the main house, while the grandparents enjoyed peace and quiet in the backyard apartment. So many nice little touches…toys and games and a fenced yard for kiddos, ample supplies (including facial tissues), and the snacks and K cups for the Keurig machines (one in each kitchen) were much appreciated. The location is good for easy access to Tampa and Clearwater, but we didn’t realize how much we would enjoy Safety Harbor. The town is an attractive, walk-able village boasting a variety of good local restaurants just a few blocks away from the house on Main Street. The owner was very responsive and friendly. When we initially experienced a glitch in our booking dates, he immediately responded and resolved it. We would be happy to return! ##### Janet W.

We booked this property as part of a large family reunion for Thanksgiving. It was perfect. A HUGE back yard that was great for the littles under 3 (bonus that toys were available in the garage) and the guest house was absolutely clutch for our group. Well appointed kitchen and plenty of seating. Easy walk to Main St and a quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend! ##### Morgan M.

The biggest perk is the kitchen. We wanted to save money so made all our meals at home. The kitchen has everything you need and then some. Mike and Beth were great hosts as well. We had a problem with the garbage disposal not working and Mike came out in less than an hour and fixed it quickly. Overall a great experience and would stay here again. ##### Courtney C.
