About this property
Walking distance to Historic Downtown and Attractions
Our romantic "Safe Haven" is compact upscale living in a two-story carriage house located 3 blocks from St George St and steps from shopping and dining! Private garden in the back and a shared garden and patio out front. Also Safe Haven House offers a private balcony! Queen bed & shower upstairs in bedroom, basic kitchen essentials (no spices) , laundry, sitting area & TV downstairs. FREE Private and Street parking.
We are available to answer questions between 8 am until 11 pm EDT, please email/app messaging or text us your questions--thanks!
A note on ambiance: It is a quiet neighborhood albeit connected to a very busy tourist town. You will hear people, cars, the cannon fire at the fort, church chimes and the occasional trolley in the daytime. This includes the Firestone during their regular hours.
*Off street parking is provided for one small to mid sized vehicle. Full sized trucks and SUVs will have to use free public on street parking.
PARKING NOTE: There is only one onsite parking available, but ample free street parking. You may have to walk around the corner or down the street to the suite, so if you are not mobile or have multiple vehicles this needs to be considered prior to booking.
Enter through private gate next main house and walk through a shared garden to get to the glass doors (the carriage house).
Please park in front of the private blue gate. Other vehicles can park after the stop sign on Locust without yellow curbs.
The Safe Haven House lives behind our Hide-Out property (The main house) and is very private. Originally the carriage house for the property, it was renovated by the previous owners into a painting studio & apartment. One private parking available in front of private gate and free street parking available after stop sign when turning onto property street.
Downstairs sitting area with full kitchen and lovely decor. Upstairs is the queen bed with en suite bath: shower and sink are separated from the bedroom by a curtain; the toilet is behind in its own closed room. We love this space for the light and artistic romance of it; one of its most delightful aspects is the access to the outdoors. Step out the back door and you will find yourself in a very serene, very private walled garden. Have your morning coffee on the upstairs deck that overlooks the shared garden or toast and cereal in the private garden with gorgeous angles of sunlight in the early morning. Take a walk a couple blocks east and you are on the intracoastal waterway. Life is cozy and relaxed here.

Welcome to “Vintage” Florida!
We are just off the beaten path, so you may hear activity early in the morning to late at night….It is a vibrant town!
Because you are sharing the property, it is important that guests respect each other. House rules are enforced!
All of our properties are routinely treated for pests, but when the doors open bugs can come in; they love crumbs and open or unclean glasses of wine or pop, stagnant water from buckets and glasses and anywhere water accumulates, so please do your part! Definitely remember to use repellent when outdoors
We are dog friendly! If you will be bringing a dog, please let us know when booking and please read our pet rules prior to making your booking with us. Remember: Please get all pets pre-approved!
We enforce pet fees for guests traveling with emotional support animals. If a guest refuses to pay, we will not allow the emotional support animal to stay. Picture of Pet fur will be reported and Airbnb will contact guests unwilling to comply with our policies.
Service animals are not to be Left behind
