Wonderful place!

The Urban Nest was a wonderful place to stay. It’s in a quiet neighborhood and Janice makes it really welcoming and comfortable. It’s become our “go to” place to stay in Seminole Heights.

So cute and comfy!

Very cozy little spot. It was very nice that while being a guest house, they fenced off your part of the backyard so you were separate from the main house and it felt like your own area. Everything was really well-stocked and super clean.

About the host

Hosted by Janice F Watkins

I have two very sweet and friendly rescue dogs named Bella and Dexter.

Why they chose this property

The Urban Nest will be your home away from home. I use only natural, certified cruelty-free Puracy products in my guesthouse so they do not contain artificial dyes or scents for those who may be sensitive. All linens are washed with free and clear detergents.

What makes this property unique

The Urban Nest is close to all local attractions and events and is very close to I-275, yet is very quiet and peaceful. Old Seminole Heights is full of beautiful, mature Grand oak trees. It's only about a 35-40 min. drive to the #1 beach in the U.S., Clearwater Beach. Only 11 min. from Busch Gardens and 14 min. from The Seminole Hard Rock Cafe and Casino.
