Casa del Tren — Renovated Cottage on a Rare Downtown Lot That Pays Its Own Way It's rare to find a lot like this so close to everything: an oversized 50x140 parcel with mature trees, privacy, and room to imagine, minutes from the shops, restaurants, parks, and waterfront of Downtown Safety Harbor. And the home that sits on it lives up to the setting, a beautifully renovated classic Florida cottage, professionally updated and thoughtfully decorated, with a bright, open great-room layout that feels like home the moment you enter. A top-rated elementary school sits just two blocks away. Out back, a privately fenced and lighted paver courtyard offers shade and seclusion just off Main Street, a favorite with pet owners and an easy place to unwind. With space to garden, expand, or simply breathe, the lot is the kind of rarity that's almost impossible to find this close to downtown. It offers real peace of mind, too: set in low-risk FEMA Flood Zone X and the safer Evacuation Zone D, it has never flooded, evacuated, or sustained storm damage in eight years. Here's what makes Casa del Tren truly special: it's a wonderful home that can also pay its way, entirely on your terms. Live in it full-time, keep it as a winter retreat, or let it earn when you're away. For eight years it has quietly thrived as one of Safety Harbor's most-loved vacation rentals, with hundreds of 5-star reviews, a loyal following, and an established brand, website, and online presence. The proven income engine is here if you want it, and no obligation if you don't. It's offered fully furnished and rental-ready, so you can step into a turnkey operation from day one, or simply make it your own. There's no HOA and no special permitting hurdle to rent it, and detailed financials are available on request. Casa del Tren has been lovingly run by the owners under their "Stay in the South" brand, a small collection of hospitality-driven homes known for meticulous care. That same attention to detail earned their Nashville property, the Heidtke House, a feature on the international travel series "Sense of Place." Now ready to slow down, they're passing this one on in turnkey condition to its next owner. This is a rare opportunity to purchase in one of the most sought after areas in Downtown Safety Harbor.
