This home is gorgeous! Old Florida vibe with massive wood and leather furniture, beautiful kitchen with granite countertops, and yet packed with all of the modern conveniences that you may need for your stay. My husband and I enjoyed the deck off the upper floor with the Tampa Bay view and beautiful landscaping where we could enjoy private dining and birdwatching. It was ideal to celebrate our 50th anniversary and so convenient to Dunedin, Tampa and St. Petersburg. We will definitely be back!

This was our 2ND time staying at The Safety Harbor Bird House. We really enjoyed our stay. It was very comfortable and clean! Sitting on the upper deck looking out over the beautiful back yard we could watch the birds. It was so calm and peaceful. We look forward staying there again in the future!

Relaxing Oasis

The owners provide everything you can possibly need in this clean and well maintained Old Florida house. It is in a perfect location down a side road, under Live Oak trees - walkable to Main Street Safety Harbor and a short drive to all of Tampa Bay - a relaxing and special Oasis. We loved our stay!

Tampa Vacation

We spent 6 nights in this wonderful, cozy house. Very relaxing to watch the birds and squirrels and we even saw an armadillo, a raccoon and a coyote! You can get to Tampa and Clearwater Beach very quickly, so well located for exploring the area and a Publix is just around the corner. The house is very well equipped with everything you need, many thanks to the owners!

Bird lover

Mark’s house was lovely! Very clean and spacious. The four of us had more room than we needed and two kitchens! It was a nice walk into Safety Harbor for restaurants and shops. But the best part was watching the many birds in the yard and the osprey flying to and from their nest in a distant tower. Great weekend in Tampa!

Wonderful Safety Harbor Experience

This is a gem of a property in the Safety Harbor area. The logistics of the stay were perfect. The property itself is top tier from an upkeep standpoint, while being nestled into the Safety Harbor area with close proximity to both downtown and neighborhood walking. Spectacular deck with a great view of both Alligator Lake and Tampa Bay in the distance. Great birdwatching! Highly recommended. The owners are great and friendly.

The Birdhouse

My husband, adult granddaughter, and I enjoyed our stay at the Birdhouse in Safety Harbor. We loved sitting on the upper porch watching the birds and other wildlife in the area. We were able to have a couple of meals with our daughter who lives in the area. The dining room table gave us plenty of space. We hope to be able to come back again.
