Casa Artista | 5 Min Walk Downtown | Art & Nature | House in Safety Harbor
2 Bedroom House in Safety Harbor
Welcome to Casa Artista — a vibrant, turquoise home tucked on a quiet brick-paved street, a five-minute walk from downtown Safety Harbor, with four award-winning local restaurants along the way, and many more on Main Street. Inside, art and comfort are woven together: stained glass at the door, original paintings from local artists, hand-crafted touches from the kitchen to the patio — a home where you unwind completely and find beauty in the details.
TOP 3 REASONS GUESTS LEAVE 5-STAR REVIEWS
————— 1. Steps from the Best of Safety Harbor —————
Walk out your front door, and four of Safety Harbor's most popular local restaurants are within five minutes: The Southern Fresh, Parts of Paris, The Kitchen, and The Tides Market. No car needed, no parking to worry about.
A waterfront pier stretching over Tampa Bay is just steps further. Every third Friday the whole neighborhood comes alive with live music, street food, and art right outside your door.
And if you're traveling with family, Safety Harbor Elementary — a highly regarded elementary school — is just three blocks away, a detail that tells you something about the neighborhood.
————— 2. A Nature-Wrapped Oasis Unlike Any Other —————
Step outside and find yourself submerged in nature. Casa Artista sits on a lush, one-of-a-kind lot — cactus, palms, and a neighbor's mango tree whose branches reach generously over the fence.
Start your morning on the front porch with coffee and bird watching, or roll out a mat for sunrise yoga. Settle into the fully enclosed sunroom to read, sketch, or simply sit as soft morning light pours through the windows. As the evening cools, gather around the Spanish chiminea (clay fire pit) in the courtyard.
Traveling with your dog? The fully fenced front yard gives them plenty of space to roam and explore the tropical surroundings too.
A private creative sanctuary surrounded by nature — and downtown is still just five minutes away.
————— 3. Hosts Who Think of Everything —————
John and Ellen have been welcoming guests for over 11 years and know exactly what makes a stay feel truly special.
Every room is professionally cleaned before your arrival. Every bed is dressed with memory foam mattresses, bamboo mattress toppers, and memory foam pillows — guests have actually reached out after their stay to ask us where we got them, that's how comfortable they are.
A welcome snack basket and bottle of wine await inside. WiFi that typically delivers around 550 Mbps — ideal for video calls, streaming, and remote work — and a fully equipped kitchen with a dedicated coffee corner (Keurig machine and all the supplies) make it easy to work remotely if you need to, or completely unplug if you don't.
And if you need anything at all, expect a response within minutes.
THE CASA ARTISTA STORY
Casa Artista — Spanish for "Artist's House" — reflects the spirit of Safety Harbor: a small waterfront town with a long history of attracting artists, and a community that has always celebrated creative souls.
Every corner and detail carries an artist's touch — integrated into fully updated modern comfort and convenience. Walk through the original stained glass front door, sit at the marble-top dining table, prepare a meal on the wood-block kitchen counter, and fall asleep surrounded by original paintings and curated art collections. Staying at Casa Artista is staying inside a piece of Safety Harbor's artistic soul.
