The Blue Gecko house was perfect for our family Christmas. They had great quality baby equipment, and the separate living space for our newlyweds. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces were comfortable and well equipped.
Great communication with the owners as well.

6 adults stayed here for Phillies spring training games. The house is in a good location within walking distance of Safety Harbor shops, restaurants and the waterfront. It’s about a 15 minute drive to the Phillies complex and about 25 minutes from Clearwater Beach (depending on traffic). The house and the additional outbuilding were perfect for the 6 of us. The main house slept two couples while another couple used the completely self-contained extension of the garage. It was everything we needed for our quick getaway. If I could give the hosts more than 5 stars I would. They were very accommodating to our separate arrivals and eventually delayed departures, and they were very responsive to our needs.

This clean, comfortable home was just right for our family group. The members with children stayed in the main house, while the grandparents enjoyed peace and quiet in the backyard apartment. So many nice little touches…toys and games and a fenced yard for kiddos, ample supplies (including facial tissues), and the snacks and K cups for the Keurig machines (one in each kitchen) were much appreciated. The location is good for easy access to Tampa and Clearwater, but we didn’t realize how much we would enjoy Safety Harbor. The town is an attractive, walk-able village boasting a variety of good local restaurants just a few blocks away from the house on Main Street. The owner was very responsive and friendly. When we initially experienced a glitch in our booking dates, he immediately responded and resolved it. We would be happy to return!

We booked this property as part of a large family reunion for Thanksgiving. It was perfect. A HUGE back yard that was great for the littles under 3 (bonus that toys were available in the garage) and the guest house was absolutely clutch for our group. Well appointed kitchen and plenty of seating. Easy walk to Main St and a quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend!

My group and I really enjoyed this home. The biggest perk is the kitchen. We wanted to save money so made all our meals at home. The kitchen has everything you need and then some. Mike and Beth were great hosts as well. We had a problem with the garbage disposal not working and Mike came out in less than an hour and fixed it quickly. Overall a great experience and would stay here again.

My husband and I came down to the area for our baby shower and needed a place to stay with a few out of town friends. Very comfortable place, everything was clean and host communicated well. Would definitely come back!

Perfect Family Getaway!
My husband and I stayed here with my sister and brother-in-law and their three children. The property is wonderful- plenty of space for all of us. The adults enjoyed sitting out and having coffee in the backyard together every morning and it was an easy walk to Main Street, which has plenty of delicious restaurants and great shopping. My husband and I also worked remotely for the entire week and had zero issues with the wi-fi. And Mike and Beth were extremely communicative and helpful. We hope to stay here again next summer!

Just got home from a month in Safety Harbor, what a trip! Mike’s house was everything we needed. Location was great, less than a 5 minute walk to the middle of Main Street, 10 minute walk to the Safety Harbor Spa where you can sign up for a guest pool only membership. The washer and dryer were brand new and great to have. The back apartment was really nice for a couple or single person. The front house had everything we needed. The internet was fast and having cable and Netflix on the smart tv was great. We would definitely recommend to any larger group or family.
Make sure to check out:
1. Third Friday on Main Street
2. Bassanos Cheesecake-Great Cheesecake
3. Cafe Vino Tinto-good breakfast/coffee spot
4. Nona Slice house-great pizza
5. Safety Harbor Chamber commerce for events
This location is great for access to a variety of grocery stores “Publix and Whole Foods” and many big box stores all within 15 minute drive.
We definitely stay at Mikes place again.

Family Greek Wedding
Great location to Main Street Restaurants and Shops. Great walking neighborhood to the waterfront and Safety Harbor Spa. Enjoyed the spacious yard and amenities. The separate back house provided privacy and a quiet space for some with an open house for gathering. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking family meals.

This was my family's first visit to Safety Harbor. We loved that Blue Gecko was a short walk to restaurants, bars, shops, and the waterfront. The main house and guest house were clean, nicely decorated, and well-equipped. The outdoor space, front porch and back deck, were very pleasant. Our hosts Mike and Beth were attentive to our needs. They left clear instructions, making check in and out and finding things around the house easy. We would definitely return to Safety Harbor and stay at Blue Gecko again!
