This property is in a perfect location to be able to enjoy all that Main Street in safety harbor has to offer. It sits back on a quiet street and is very private. The patio is a nice touch for kids and dogs. The owners had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Our stay at Casa del Tren was most ideal. The home was plenty big for our needs, it was a bright, cheery, peaceful space, it was very nicely appointed, the owners were very hospitable and always available should any questions have come up, the location is ideal with it only being a short walk to the downtown, the beds were comfortable and the place was kept clean. Casa del Tren was a wonderful base of operations for our adventuring in the area. Thanks so much, John and Ellen, for making our Safety Harbor vacation so positively memorable.

This cottage was an excellent place to stay. We enjoyed the coffee, snacks and wine and grilled fish from the seafood market for dinner one night. We walked into town every day and thought Safety Harbor was lovely and had a laid back vibe. Farmers market on Sunday was fun!

Holiday Visit

We had a lovely stay at Casa del Tren over the holiday. The home was comfortable and well-appointed with everything you need. It was very near to town, yet in a quiet and peaceful location. The fenced-in and well lit patio was great for our family and the hosts were very communicative and accommodating.

Wonderful Stay!

John and Ellen are FANTASTIC hosts! They truly care about their guests, pay attention to every detail to ensure comfort, and are readily available to answer any questions and help in any way. And Casa del Tren is a wonderful home nestled in a quiet area and so close to everything! My husband and I (and our sweet dog) had a marvelous time! We will definitely be back and have recommended their homes to all of our friends and family :-)

Life in Safety Harbor

I loved the area, lots of places to walk and visit, Folly Farms is a fun place. Many good eating place in SH and out on 19. Shopping was easy with several Publix nearby.
