Santa Clara was the perfect vacation rental for us. We visit the island frequently for the day but have not stayed overnight. Staying in a Safety Harbor home was definitely the best choice and renting through Tortuga Properties was a huge bonus!
When booking, we also needed to arrange docking for our boat. Safety Harbor Club was the best option for overnight docking our 39’ center console. The largest slip in the Island Club is 31’. Safety Harbor has lay along docking on each end of the marina which is only available to residents and is first come, first serve. When renting a home, the homeowner/host will need to notify the club you’ll be using the dock and will provide you with a pass.
Upon our arrival our Tortuga Properties concierge met us on the dock to assist us with our luggage. Santa Clara is perfectly located; directly next to the dock. From the home’s top floor, you can see the west side of the marina, giving us a visual of the boat and making it quick and easy to go back to the dock.
Santa Clara’s location is not only convenient to the docks but it’s also located very close to the ferry stop in Safety Harbor, the Safety Harbor clubhouse pool and the Island Club pools/Mangos. Santa Clara has a golf cart available to use to go to the Safety Harbor Club beach and exploring the island.
I would absolutely recommend this property and am confident that any other property Tortuga Properties is managing would also be a good choice as well. Our trip was 10/10!
