Adorable house, close to lots of things to do. Love the garden themed backyard, very peaceful & relaxing! Neighbor had some type of pet bird that would whistle and squawk from time to time, sometimes you could get it to whistle along with you. Overall we enjoyed our stay, it was nice to set back and relax. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at Escondido. Everything was great including the back deck, bath, kitchen, TVs, and driveway with off street parking. My wife and I took several bike rides both on the bike path as well as around the neighborhood. We sat on the new park benches less than a block away and watched the beautiful sunsets over the water. If and when we’re back in the area I’ll definitely want to stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Escondido! This adorable bungalow in Palm Harbor is cozy, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with comfortable beds and the cutest decorations that make you feel right at home. The kitchen is well stocked, too. Hosts Mark and Susan were wonderful—responsive, friendly, and so easy to work with. The location is fantastic, with several beautiful beaches nearby. We especially loved that the bungalow provides bikes, which made for a beautiful ride along the Pinellas Trail. They also thoughtfully provide boogie boards, beach chairs, and an umbrella.The outdoor space was another favorite! I spent time relaxing in the hammocks and enjoying a good book—such a peaceful way to unwind.We highly recommend staying at Escondido and would absolutely stay here again! It’s a charming bungalow with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Great place

Pictures dont do justice how calm and relaxing this hideaway is. Just a few steps from the ocean, and very scenic area. Take advantage of the bikes and ride up the trail to good food and several breweries.

The entire house and both porches and the outdoor space were all beautifully decorated. The screened porch was an awesome place to relax and read a book with my morning coffee. The private back yard was a lush little jungle area. There are bikes and a kayak available to use. We took a short bike ride on the Pineallas Trail, would love to return and go for a longer ride. The location was excellent too!

We loved our stay at this house. Good location easy to get to Honeymoon Beach and Clearwater Beach. The house is better than the pictures. So fun. The swings seats in the porch room were our favorite place to hang out. The house is also very clean. We walked to the local beach for amazing sun sets. They also have bikes that were in good shape and beach chairs. Would stay here again just for another chance to start my day with a swing on the porch.

I loved our week stay here. It was so peaceful and everything was pretty convenient. I found shelling as a new hobby while in the area. The only thing I would say is maybe stock up on bug spray if you are going to hang outside. I had to get some bug spray for myself so I can bath in it. Haha! Mosquitoes love me. I love being outdoors and that’s what this oasis gave along with tranquility.

A very lovely home.

My children and I stayed here for over a week. It’s such a cute cozy little sanctuary. It’s tucked away lots of plants. It was very clean and we loved every moment of staying there. Also, the owners are so kind. They were eager to help with anything that I needed and I would definitely love to stay at this property again and recommended to my friends and family.

This was one of the cooler houses that we've stayed at. The house feels like an interior decorator put it together. The sunroom is amazing with two of the most fun chairs i've ever sat in. the backyard is so creative and beautiful. the beds were comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped. The bikes and beach chairs are nice. just a really great house.Things to know:....there is a publix about 1 mile away.....there are a good grouping of restaurants about 1.2 miles away.....the nearest beach is honeymoon state park, about 12-15 min drive. 8 fee. there are other beaches to drive to as well.....you could take the kayaks out at the inlet just steps away. you could fish from the pier as well.....there are very fun bike trails very close by.....there are a bunch of breweries within a short drive or bike trip.
