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.

Thank you for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure meeting you both. We love to help out and like our guests to have a good experiences in our cottage with lasting joyful memories. :)
Location was perfect for our needs. Beautiful park across the street. Our host was very quick responding in the emails. Clean comfortable home. Only a couple thing that might need attending; Bathroom sink drained slowly. Thicker mattress pads needed. Overall stay we really enjoyed the home. We would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home.
Great little house, great neighborhood, seamless check-in and out, and a very accommodating & nice landlord.Very relaxing and fun place to visit. Lots of nearby good restaurants, sights to see and activities to partake in.
Loved walking across the street to a beautiful walk along the river and through a beautiful park with beautiful fountain area or sit on a peaceful bench in the park or a nice walk downtown to shop, eat, drink...Will definitely try to visit here again!

So glad you enjoyed our town and our little cottage. We would love to have you back any time. 😊
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!
Cottage had everything we needed. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Great location on the park and walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. We appreciated the beach chairs which we used often. Highly recommended!
We found the cottage and its location to be better than we'd hoped for with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Andrea was a perfect host and available if needed. We would highly recommend this cottage.
Thank you for a wonderful few weeks

Thanks for your lovely comments. We enjoyed having you in our cottage. 😀
Great location Perfect for walking along the canal and to downtown area with restaurants and shops. Nice Winn Dixie close by . Able to walk to recreation center and play pickleball
We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is just perfect, close to everything but still private. The cottage was so cute and very clean. I love Muscovy ducks and there were plenty to see and feed. Andrea was wonderful and very prompt with communication. 10/10 would stay here again. Thank you!!
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.
My son decided to extend his stay a day at the last minute. Andrea accommodated our change. The cottage is lovely, right across the street from Sims park. Lots of walkable places to visit, eat at etc. I wouldnt hesitate to book again when the kids come back to visit.

Thanks for your lovely comments. So glad you enjoyed having your son to visit with. :)
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!
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.

Thanks for your wonderful note. Was great having you back :)
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.

Hi Karen, thank you for taking the time to evaluate your stay. :)
Would you mind telling us what it would take for us to get a 5 Star rating from your viewpoint. We would like to know how we can improve. Much appreciated, Best, Andrea
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!

Thank you for such a lovely compliment. It has been and absolutely pleasure to have you back in our cottage. You have been such wonderful guests.
The location was perfect! We regret that due to colder weather, we did not get out to enjoy the park and riverwalk. The heart of New Port Richey is very charming and easily accessible on foot. Communication with Andrea was excellent. Since we used the front door to come and go, a walkway, if some sort, to the driveway would have been handy to avoid going through the yard. The cottage was very comfortable for our needs. A pod type coffee maker would have been nice, as we did bring pods from home. Furniture was comfortable and it was nice to have a few fleece throws to use. The outlets on the bedside clocks were a welcome find! We would definitely stay again if in the area. .
