Lovely Stay

We spent 4 days here. Loved having morning coffee on the dock! The nearby park around the lake was a lovely walk. We were able to walk to dinner at Rusty Bellies, a wonderful restaurant with water views. The beach is just a short drive away and the pastries downtown are not to be missed!

Great short getaway to Tarpon Springs

The property met all of our expectations plus more. Well stocked with everything we needed. Close to fun stuff and amazing food but quiet plus on the water. Manager communication was excellent. Would love to come back another time.

Very comfortable home with great views of the water

We totally enjoyed our stay in Tarpon Springs. The house was very quiet and comfortable for my husband and I. We especially enjoyed spending time outside on the dock looking at the water and seeing the fish jump. What a great central location to the sponge docks, restaurants, beaches, and downtown. Great communication with the host and plenty of amenities available. This is the best place to stay in Tarpon hands down!

Perfect for our family

We absolutely loved staying at this home… hoping to make it our Tarpon Springs home for each break, since we visit grandparents there. My 6yo son loved fishing off the dock (he caught a catfish on our first night)! We loved being able to walk into town, and the short drive to Howard Beach. The house was well stocked - we didn’t need anything! And it was easy to host family dinners with grandparents over.

We had an amazing weekend at this lovely house on the water. The place had everything you needed, very clean & lots of restaurants/bars in walking distance (about a mile or less). We absolutely loved the dock & spent most of our time out there. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

10/10 recommend!

We booked this place to stay while visiting friends in the area. Not only were the beds comfortable, but the property is beautiful! The water is lovely to wake up to each day, and we even saw dolphins during our stay. We loved spending our evenings out on the dock and back deck. I wish we could have stayed longer. It's the perfect spot to unwind and relax. I'll definitely be booking again.

Such a cute little house. Very comfortable with everything you might need. Easy walk to the docks as well as a park. We were a little concerned about the shared driveway and the connected studio next door but it was not an issue at all - very quiet. We will definitely stay again!

Fabulous waterfront spot with dock

Maxwell House is a wonderful, comfortable place to stay in Tarpon Springs. The living room, dining area and kitchen are spacious with a lovely view of water. Sitting areas outside to enjoy on dock or back deck. Didn’t hear people in attached rental but did have a brief chat. The two rentals are completely separate. Would highly recommend and hope to return.

Love the little Greek town. This condo is on a dead end street, very quiet. Loved that. Loved the park. Dryer was on top of the washing machine - too high! My husband needed to do all the controls , I couldn’t reach them. Loved the fenced in back yard, too.

A long weekend Tarpon Springs

Enjoyed the property on the water as we docked our boat there. Not enough parking for vehicle and trailer. We thought the additional studio rental would be a separate building but we could hear the other guests in their bathroom every day and the door to seperate the two rentals was inside the home directly. Although secured with a deadbolt I did not like having strangers that close. But for cleanliness, sleeping, and home with water access all was great. Would stay again if I rented both sections of the house.

Visiting family

The location of the property was convenient, being in close proximity to the sponge docks and the town center. However, the area was notably congested. The house itself was pleasant but required some maintenance. The sheets had an unpleasant odor, and the floors were quite dirty. Additionally, the studio setup was less than ideal, as noise from other guests was easily audible. In summary, while the location was advantageous, the overall experience was impacted by these issues.

Fit For a King & Queen

This place was ideal. We loved that the backyard was fenced in with a nice looking fence….our 2dogs loved it! The landscape was excellent & the deck was perfect. Everything a person would need was there & in perfect condition. Usually a kitchen isn’t equipped as well as this one was. The only problems were the one & only bathroom had to be gotten to by the main bedroom…maybe not good if 4 people stayed there.: also, we didn’t like the Apple TV. There were no instructions for it & we couldn’t figure how to get to the local stations & most of the others you have to PAY for! Other than those 2 things everything was top-notch! LOVED IT!!!
