Paradise Cottage Largo-No Neighbours-7mins to beach | Cottage in Largo, FL

"...Nestled in old live oaks and a forest of greenery is the new creation of a small, sweet, serene and quite private cottage; a delightful hideaway, 1 1/2 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Close to Indian Rocks Beach, Belleair Beach, Clearwater Beach, Indian Shores, Reddington Beach, Reddington Shores and the many others that dot the Pinellas County coastline, including Madeira Beach, Treasure Island Beach, Sunset Beach, St. Pete Beach and Pass-a-Grille Beach!
Owners/Partners Ron and Mike have created a little paradise adjacent to their 1887 Arts n' Crafts home reputed to be the oldest in Largo. This is a two story, five gable/dormer wooden house made of heart of pine which had been countrified by previous owners; we have converted it to its original Arts n' Crafts style. It was moved in the early 1960s to its present location retaining most of its external integrity. Using this as their primary residence for over 30 years, "... they have painstakingly restored this house, inside and out - continually improving, upgrading and designing walkways, patios, and garden areas with imaginative inventiveness..." as stated in a review!
Here are the pictures of what we call our cottage. It is a respectful distance from the rear of our home, connected with a new deck which surrounds two sides of the cottage and the complete back portion of our home.
The "Cottage" is a totally separate building - not connected to the house except by decking. Parking is just 75', a few steps from the cottage over-sized front door.
It was designed and completed in March of 2016 with everything new including: stove, refrigerator, double sink, dishwasher, garbage disposal, granite counter/bar with 1950's swivel stools, complete with a new central air conditioning/heating system including vent to the bathroom thermostat controlled by the guest in residence. With a totally brand-new bathroom - shower - with all fixtures by Moen. Indeed, even all the blinds are brand new. The stackable washer/dryer (used, but excellent) is off the back deck, a few steps from the kitchen back door housed in its own built-in add-on. There are two closets with plenty of hanging/storage space; one next to a granite topped, two large drawer dresser for your convenience. There is a wall mounted flat screen, Smart Television and Wi-Fi via Spectrum/BrightHouse.
As seen in the pictures, there
are two matching, Queen Memory-Foam fold out beds of the most superior quality and comfort level on the market - high end couches which convert to queen beds. These are highly rated as seen in the reviews! One is fully dressed/prepared for relaxing/sleeping and is left in the open position for ease and comfort. The other remains in the closed position for daytime comfort and relaxation. But, with advanced notice (only), can be prepared/used for sleeping as well. This obviously decreases the open space in the room, but we are happy to make this conversion when requested and under conditions we accept. 99% of our guests are couples who share the same bed, and we prefer to keep this arrangement as it follows the intended design and function, we envisioned when we created this space.
As pictured, there is a step up into the bathroom and another
step up into the kitchen area. The bar is on the same main level as is everything else.
We are very proud of what we have designed and constructed and are continually fine tuning, in an attempt to always make it better - continually - in any way we can. We pay attention to details and are always striving to improve.
My heritage is Dutch/English and am true to my roots reputed for fastidious cleanliness and order. Perhaps, on the obsessive side, if this is a prerequisite/quality you seek. And, I will attempt to make everything as comfortable and pleasant for you as possible.
I take reviews very seriously - no one liners from me. You've graced us with your presence, your trust and your money, and we feel a sincere, personal and truly thoughtful review of your time here is the best thank you/testament, we can oblige.
With the views of a golf course, open fields and no neighbors
being located at the end of a "NO OUTLET" street, privacy prevails, and, minimal to no traffic, after 5:00 pm. There is Largo Medical Hospital, The Diagnostic Medical Center, The Eye Institute, The Amish Country Store, The Pinellas Trail (a major county long walking/running/biking path), Brookdale (Pinecrest Place - an upscale retirement condo complex)- all within 2 blocks! There are restaurants, thrift stores, an Ace Hardware, a Publix Supermarket, jewelry stores, gas stations, a veterinarian and so much more within a 1/4-mile walk - including Taylor Park - a wonderful, and very large, lake centered, county park open from morning to night!
Sound like paradise? It is to us, and we hope you'll spend some time with us!!!
Most Sincerely,
Mike & Ron (Website hidden by Airbnb)
WAIT!!! There's more...
Update - As you can imagine, we are constantly making improvements: upgrading, adding more amenities and performing the highest degree of maintenance, not only in the "Cottage", but on the property grounds as well, to attain the highest standards of living conditions and environment for our guests' enjoyment. We have been working with Airbnb since March 9, 2016 and have achieved its best reviews, accolades and awards with Super host status from the beginning. We have decided to add Vrbo as visibility with Airbnb has become a problem they are unable to solve.
Just saying...
I have added new pictures which show the addition of a large flat screen Smart TV wall mounted, 2 real cool ceiling fans, a super kitchen stove exhaust fan, 3 new end tables with drawers (yellow to match the carpet shades), and various storage/organizational components for our longer-term guests. Another item is a water cooler so there will be plenty of cold, or hot H2O for you.
We take this very seriously and encourage you to email us with any concerns, questions or considerations.
...And we follow the CDC enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed with expert guidance in lieu of Covid-19. Here are a few highlights:
I sanitize high-touch surfaces, down to the doorknob
I use cleaners and disinfectants approved by global health agencies, and I wear protective gear to help prevent cross-contamination
I clean each room using extensive cleaning checklists
I provide extra cleaning supplies, so you can clean as you stay
I comply with local laws, including any additional safety or cleaning guidelines
Happy and safe traveling...
Sincerely,
Mike & Ron
P.S. Please acquaint yourselves with the House Rules and the House Manual while also checking our reviews as they accumulate.
Thank you for your time...
Our Motto:
Live and Let Live with love, respect and an open mind serving as our cornerstones.
