Hemingway’s Cottage is perfect for me. The cottage is well maintained and printed instructions are inside for any questions you may have. Located across the street from Sims Park, the location could not be better. New Port Richey is a wonderful place, with lots of community activities, good restaurants and places to check out. The landlord, Andrea, is very accommodating and responsive whenever I reach out.

Excellent location

My parents and I enjoyed our stay at the property. The location is perfect for walks around the park or into town. My parents are elderly so the handicap accommodations were perfect! The host is very quick to respond to questions and she made our stay very comfortable. Highly recommend this property!

We loved the fact that we met our host. She was willing to help us with the TV set up and came over to help. She also contacted us mid vacation to make sure we were good with everything. The house was well stocked which was appreciated and all the appliances worked perfectly. Love the location of course being at Sims and a quick walk to town.

Cozy house with lots of nearby activities.

Went to Florida to visit my son and family. This place was close to their home and had lots of things to keep the kiddos busy while visiting us - games, playground and park nearby. The host was great at communicating with me. Thanks so much for sharing your place.

We enjoyed our stay at Hemmingway Cottage!

Great location in the center of revitalized Downtown New Port Richey. Right across the street from Sims Park and Orange Lake and the Cotee Riverwalk. Great surroundings for activities and daily walks. Downtown has a wide variety of restaurants, craft breweries, ice cream shops, theater and the renovated Hacienda Hotel has a great restaurant. The cottage suited us perfectly and Andrea, the host was a pleasure to deal with, always ready to help with any needs. Would definitely recommend a stay at The Cottage!

Complete comfort

New Port Richey is a wonderfully laid back small city and this rental is the best! Completely walkable to all the town has to offer and right across the street from a beautiful park on the river. The landlord Andrea is very nice and helpful with any questions and the cottage is clean and supplied with everything to make you right at home. Can’t wait to visit again.

The cottage is quaint and was comfortable for two people. The park is right across the street and Main Street is on the other side of the park with lots of shops and restaurants. for walking during the day. All of this you see while you walk along the river.

Wonderful return visit to Hemingway Cottage!

Stayed with Andrea last year and couldn’t wait to come back! Clean, comfortable home with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing and stress free vacation. Located on the edge of Sims Park we strolled along the Pithlachascotee River and thru the beautiful Park to the vibrant New Port Richey downtown many times…peaceful and perfect for us. Andrea continues to be a great Host as evidenced by our thoughtful accommodations and her clear and immediate communication when needed. Treat yourself…come to the Cottage, unwind and relax!
