Home Away From Home
The house itself and the overall experience were outstanding. Safety Harbor is a wonderful setting, with something for everyone – nature lovers, foodies, people watchers, etc. In addition to providing easy access to a number of top attractions in the area, the house was spotless, well decorated, well equipped and comfortable for our extended family. The large yard and children’s toys and equipment made it especially fun for our multigenerational group. The hosts were amazing – thoughtful and responsive to every situation and need. We give “Blue Gecko” our highest recommendation.

Perfect girls trip
This property is clean, well decorated and cozy! The neighborhood has a school close by and is well lit for some evening pickle ball. It is close to Safety Harbor downtown. It was an easily drive to Crystal River. Mike, the owner, was super responsive to our needs! We would book here again in a heart beat.

Wonderful!
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.

Blue Gecko in Safety Harbor
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.
