1923 Arts & Craft Cottage - ★Best Tampa Vacation Rental★ Award

Our focus is on 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 and 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 of the Arts and Craft period. In early September 2022, we completed our most recent interior design program during which we replaced everything: all upholstery, fabrics, queen bed, sheets, towels and lampshades.

Even though we’ll take you back in time with our decor, modern design & convenience is still available for your use: Free Wi-Fi, UV Smart Phone and Facemask light box, multidevice charging station, washer and dryer (located in our Bungalow steps away) SmartTV, Streaming, DVD collection, microwave, and off-street parking.

★★ 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 ★★
The Cottage at Erehwon Retreat is located in the historic neighborhood of Seminole Heights with beautiful craftsman style homes and tree-lined streets.

★★ 𝗕𝗘𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 ★★
The cottage sleeps 2 in its beautifully-decorated bedroom with comfortable queen bed. The side tables and warm lighting make it the perfect space to read and rest after a long day out. The City of Tampa limits occupancy to 2 person per original bedroom.

★★ 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠 ★★
The cottage has one bathroom, complete with toilet, sink and walk-in shower. It’s sparkling clean, like the rest of the house. We provide luxurious custom-made Erewhon Retreat tea olive soap, made right from the plants found around the home. Toilet paper, towels, and shampoo are also provided.

★★ 𝗞𝗜𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗡 & 𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗚𝗘 ★★
The fully-stocked kitchenette has everything you need. There is a four-burner gas stove, microwave, mini fridge, sink, coffee maker, and basic pots and pans, dishes and silverware. You can sit at the breakfast table with your morning coffee and plan your day. We stock breakfast foods in the fridge and pantry, including cereal, pancake mix, real maple syrup, spices, butter, milk, fresh Florida orange juice, tea, coffee and more.

The cottage’s lounge continues the nostalgic theme, with a charming sofa, newly upholstered chair, and a TV. Curl up with a book, watch a favorite DVD, and make memories here. We want you to feel at home.

★★ 𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘 ★★
The front porch is a great place for relaxing. Sip tea on the porch and listen to the native birds. Enjoy our large Florida Native Plant garden and the quaint historic neighborhood (1911-1926), where hundreds of restored bungalows and Mediterranean homes date from the turn of the century.

★★ 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒 ★★
There are several cameras on the property: 1 video doorbell each the bungalow's front & backdoor (to laundry room). Cottage & manager's office front doors each have a video doorbell. 2 cameras on home's side overlooking pathway by fence, & pine pathway on the other side. All cameras record sound & audio upon motion activation for 30 seconds.

The Cottage was as depicted in the photo. It was clean, and the host was very responsive. It was a little difficult to find it, and some repairs needed to be made. All said the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, and there were plenty of towels. The orange juice and eggs in the fridge were a nice touch. Thank you.

A quick trip for some sunshine
What a cute little cottage. So well stocked, and SO clean! Super cozy bed. Good fans and a/c works well. Judy was excellent in responding to questions. Instructions were clearly laid out. Great location. 15 minutes to TPA, downtown, Ybor city, Busch Gardens. Great little coffee place steps away. And a pub 5 minute walk away with amazing food and prices! Wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay here again. I think there are 2 things that were a "bother" (and I use that very loosely). The hot water in the kitchen does not get hot (easily remedied by boiling water, or microwaving some). And the couch helps keep you from sitting around for too long. 😉

1923 Cottage reminiscent of simpler days
My best friend of 47 years and I had a magical 5 night stay at Erehwon Retreat the end of January 2024. This cozy and comfortable cottage is reminiscent of simpler times. Our morning walks netted many smiles and waves as well as a few delightful conversations with neighbors out in their yards. Great proximity to the airport, necessities, and easy access to Clearwater, St.Petersberg, Tarpon Springs, etc. Google “Erehwon” to learn the meaning and “Old Seminole Heights” to learn more about the area. I will definitely stay here again on future Tampa area visits.

Comfortable and pleasant stay
We enjoyed the cottage for 2 months. It had all we needed to just relax and enjoy getting away. The neighborhood is pleasant and is great for walking. Henry, our host, was accommodating and saw to it that all our needs were met.

Barry Q., Oak Island, North Carolina

Initially cute, lots of foliage, owner has issues
We had many unnerving confrontations with the owner. He accused us of not using the soap he told us to, we did, told my husband he was taking advantage of his laundry policy. It took so long because the owners linens were in the dryer so I folded them. My husband calmly told him we only did the two loads he allowed. We went to laundromat so to avoid confrontation. One one occasion he ask my husband if we had an iPad in the rental. We wondered how he knew that and if our communication was really private? My husband was also told that the owner knew more about us than we know. Puzzling statement? He also explained how vacation rentals worked, their structure, and charges and to save money call the owner directly. It seemed inappropriate for a business person. The final straw was receiving a text as we pulled in the driveway that we had violated the fire code by having our plastic suitcase box in the cottage. We immediately removed it and he charged out, to the truck, shaking his cane and yelling at my husband accusing us of moving furniture, and changing his "design", violating his contract and he could kick us out right then etc. My husband kept saying he was sorry but the owner just keep ranting. Needless to say, we left to cool off from a litany of insults over the previous week's. We returned to the cottage and began to pack up and left ahead of schedule to stay elsewhere.

A wonderful retreat, just right for two. The proprietor made sure everything was perfect.
We were looking for a quiet place in the warmth of Tampa for the Christmas holiday. Our choice was excellent. The bungalow offered the privacy we sought with the amenities we wanted. The pictures actually how this 1020s era bungalow which has been updated to the 2000s. Henry, the proprietor, was a wealth of knowledge and his book of information made our vacation perfect. The refrigerator was stocked with the fresh food and condiments. Henry had thought of everything. We will be back!

Cozy, Clean, & Conveniently located!
This cottage brings the amenities of a hotel suite into a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. It is well maintained and cleaned regularly. Starter groceries and staples are provided. Privacy is respected, and social interaction is available. The general atmosphere is homey and inviting. As frequent travelers, my wife and I especially appreciated the comfortable bed and the large, plush towels. We highly recommend this cottage and hope to visit again in the future.
