About this apartment rental
Featured in the Hallmark movie "Love in the Sun", The Tropical Bungalow apartment is on the first floor of the original Safety Harbor Hotel on Main Street, built in 1914. The flat features all the comforts of home. The Inn is right in the center of downtown Safety Harbor, 15 minutes from both Clearwater (PIE) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) , 10 miles to the white sandy beaches of Clearwater, 17 miles to St.Petersburg. This is a perfect home base for your Gulf adventures. You will receive a keypad code by noon the day of your arrival upon booking. The keypad code will not work with the smart lock until it is check in time.
The flat has the laid-back, tropical Florida vibe you’d expect from the local designer (who also owns Accents by Paula on the first floor of the building) with stylish furniture and fun extras. Make the most of your stay with insider tips from a 30 year resident of the area.
INSIDE
The space was renewed from scratch and is decorated with your comfort and convenience in mind. The livable space feels immediately like home. The shower-stall bath is stocked with plush towels. The queen bed is lushly made with firm and soft pillows and throws, good reading lamps and a closet. The kitchen, living (pull-out sofa), and indoor dining are one open space. The kitchen has full-sized appliances, cookware, cutlery and necessities for people who love to cook, have their morning coffee, or to just serve their take-away.
MORE FUN
Harbor Inn on Main is on a quiet street, within walking distance to a variety of shopping, restaurants, breweries, pubs, and music venues. The city hosts many music and food events events throughout the year. With the location of this flat, you are central to all of the events held on Main St. The Safety Harbor Marina, pier, and a spa are just 6 blocks away to enjoy a stroll along the water while searching for manatees in the bay. There is a finished walk/bike path stretching 5+ miles along the Old Tampa Bay.

We spent three days visiting friends and the location was perfect! We were able to walk every where and the cottage was clean and tropically decorated. A fun town to visit and lots of weekend events were going on. Looking forward to our next stay.

Place was exactly as pictured on the website. Convenient location to nearby concert hall in Clearwater. Safety Harbor is a beautiful town and Main St. Offers many good dining options.

The location in downtown Safety Harbor was perfect. The apartment was comfortable and clean. There was a full size refrigerator so we could prepare our meals and store the leftovers.
We could easily get to restaurants and bars plus we were in town for the July 4th parade and fireworks.
Our son lived a block away in a small apartment so we got together every day.
Great visit.

Cons
Upon arrival, found cleaning well below expectations. Grimy area rug. Blinds dusty. Accumulated dust in not easy to access areas, such as under furniture. Bathroom floor needs a good scrubbing. Moldy kitchen sink stopper. Kitchen cabinets grimy at handles. Dirty around air handling ducts. Vacuum cleaner waste bin stored in open eating area and full of debris. Some mold in refrigerator.
Kitchen garbage container damaged wall.
Bathroom could use a refresh. Local painting and tile repair unprofessional. Need to hold toilet handle down to complete flush. Large drapery near tub a nuisance due to small area. Tub finish worn. Window screen worn.
Could use a small dishwasher and stackable laundry center. There is room for both.
Must drive to a coin-operated laundry.
Regret staying longer than two weeks
Bring your own wine and martini glassware.
Closet needs TLC. Rack support arm disconnected. Attic access sealed with painter’s and duct tape.
WIFI TV needs more internet speed. Often interrupted with “circle of death”.
Eating area stools not of great quality or sturdiness.
Smoke detector in common area not in working order. This is a fire code violation.
Padding on patio chair pads moldy.
Not a great value. Paid a lot for what we got.
