About this property

Safety Harbor Bird House with Lake View

Imagine dropping back in time to old Florida at its best - oak trees draped in Spanish Moss, Alligator Lake in view, and sunrises & sunsets filling the sky with beautiful pastel skies. Welcome to the Safety Harbor Bird House.

With a view of a scenic, fresh water lake located on the edge of Tampa Bay, the Bird House is perfect for guests who enjoy a natural setting while also being very close to the conveniences and small town amenities that Safety Harbor has to offer.

We call it the "Bird House" because of all the birds that can be spotted on or nearby the property - herons, egrets, ibis, pelicans, hawks, wood storks, parrots, gulls, cormorants, woodpeckers, ospreys, songbirds, and more. It is a unique, sanctuary-like setting and a cabin feel.

Two levels with three bedrooms, two baths and an inviting 32' x 10' covered deck. A sanctuary-like setting with birds and other wildlife. Centrally located in Tampa Bay.
The upper level includes the living room, kitchen/dining area, master bedroom with a king-size bed, a small bedroom with a twin bed, and a shared bathroom with a tub/shower, and the 32' x 10' covered deck with great views of the back yard and the lake.

The lower lever features a living/kitchenette area complete with a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, sink, granite counter tops and cabinets. Yes, a second kitchen!! The living/kitchenette area has double glass doors leading out to a deck area and the back yard. There is also a bedroom with a King size bed and another set of double glass doors to the deck and back yard. The bedroom has a second room in the back, with a twin bed and a barn door to close it off for privacy. Shared bathroom with shower. Utility room with a washer and dryer is also on the lower level.

May not be suitable for young children due to steep inside staircase, outside staircase to deck and pond in neighbor's unfenced yard. Contact host to discuss further.

My House is The Bird House
We're picky about where we stay. MUST be clean, quiet, good location, well-stocked, good communication, prompt assistance when needed, quality furniture (& mattresses), and reliable appliances. The Bird House met all our requirements and EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. We are picky and we had not a nit to pick. Mark and Cynthia are EXCELLENT hosts. It was immediately apparent from our first communication that they make every effort to accommodate their guests, and they succeed. We have rented many properties (30+) over the last 20 years and the Bird House has been our BEST EXPERIENCE.

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!

Bird House is a Rare Bird
Not often do we rent a house that had absolutely everything! Mark and Cynthia have lovingly restored this lake front home leaving a few hints and touches of the Old Florida I recall growing up in mid-century, while adding in every modern convenience. Gorgeous new kitchen appliances, sparkling bathrooms, excellent lighting for either a romantic mood or bright enough for older eyes to cook and read. Comfortable furniture throughout and most all of it solid hardwoods or carefully curated antiques. They carried the Bird House and sea side theme throughout— original art, handmade pottery, bed and bathroom linens, and accessories. All carefully chosen and placed. Everything we needed was at the house from the reverse osmosis water filter on the two kitchen sinks, bottled water in each refrigerator, snacks, pantry items, flashlights, batteries, binoculars, and even umbrellas in a basket by the front door. Anything you would want, you just looked in the logical place for it and there it was. When the front door lock gave a low battery notification, Mark was over at the house within the hour changing out the batteries for us. When a line of storms came through, and we were under a tornado warning, we headed downstairs and found a room with no windows and a barn door to close behind us. Fortunately, we received only rain and enough wind to blow some leaves off the trees, but I had to laugh at how the house even had a safe room! What a rare find this house truly is!
