ABOUT DUNEDIN
If you've never visited our lovely corner of the world—affectionately called "Delightful Dunedin"—you're in for a treat. This quaint coastal town boasts a naturally beautiful setting and award-winning beaches, plus an exciting arts, dining, music, and micro-brewery scene—so you can take part in the excitement or just relax and enjoy Mother Nature.

Home to the Toronto Blue Jays and Honeymoon Island, Dunedin is Florida's first Trail Town and one of the Sunshine State's top walkable cities. You can spend all day wandering between the beach, marina, restaurants, and galleries. Plan your visit to catch one of the town's many vibrant festivals, celebrating everything from arts and crafts to music to dogs. With downtown just 2 blocks away, it's easy to get there by foot, but golf cart and bike rentals are also available.

Spend evenings with your toes in the sand watching the sunset from the marina. Or venture out further—the Pinellas Trail leads to Honeymoon and Caladesi Island, and the new Clearwater Ferry Water Taxi will take you to Clearwater Beach. Plus, charming destinations like Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs are just a short drive away or accessible by the Jolley Trolley.

Theme Parks: Just 1.5 hours to Walt Disney World and 1 hour to the Florida Aquarium and Busch Gardens in Tampa

Family and baseball in Dunedin, Florida
With two adult sons who love baseball, decided on a family spring fling to watch the beloved Blue Jays during spring training. We were 5 adults and a 2 year old. This accommodation was perfectly equipped for our family. The master bedroom with the ensuite bathroom was large enough to accommodate the roll away crib. The other two rooms were comfortable and a second bathroom was nearby. Beach toys, strollers and a wagon was available for use. The kitchen was well equipped. Appliances and cooking ware were clean and appeared new. When I notified the host that we were hoping to use the barbecue and needed the propane tank refill, they immediately attended to it and produced a whole new barbecue. The location was great. A 15 minute walk to the stadium. Close to all the downtown shops and restaurants and an easy drive to several beaches. Thanks to the hosts for providing such a well equipped comfortable home.

Hands down, this house is the best! This was our first experience with renting a vacation house, and it was perfect for us in every way. The kids loved it, but most importantly the wife loved it! We'll definitely be looking to rebook this one. Location and plenty of space and beds are what we needed and this house exceeded our expectations in ever way.

Exactly what I wanted!
After visiting Dunedin a year ago, I was so excited to spend time getting to know the area. It was exactly what I was hoping for and this home made all the difference. It was very clean, decoratively so beautifully and was just a wonderful and calming place to return after a day of activity. So close to everything and I couldn't have wanted for more. My friend and significant other agreed! Jen was incredibly responsive and fun to talk with. I can see why she gets such incredible ratings. They are well deserved. Thanks Jen for sharing your lovely home with us! What a fabulous time we had!

The place is in one of the best locations in Dunedin!!!!
From the first reach out by the host Jen to the end, Jen went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable and all set to explore Dunedin. This house is VERY comfortable and is right in the middle of all of the exciting areas to see and experience in town. I live in Dunedin but my family and kids were coming to visit and have never been. So I rented this place to house everyone and it came with baby carriages, coffee, all the things you would need from home but don't want to bring. We were here with eight people and everyone had room to sleep and plenty of bathrooms. Plenty of parking with three slots and a huge front and back porch for sitting around and catching up. Highly recommend this place and I'll be coming back for sure.

The home is well equipped for anything you would need for children and enough kitchen utensils to cook if you’re inspired to do so. The decor is soothing and enough to put this home into a 5-star VRBO experience.

We love downtown Dunedin
This was a great spot to stay for our long weekend in Dunedin! Easy walk to everything — restaurants, marina, shopping, drinks. The house was good for our group of 5 adults. The smaller king bedroom is a pretty tight squeeze (but a comfortable bed) which made unpacking tricky, but still doable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed (and then some). We’d definitely recommend this house.

Outstanding
We use VRBO quite a bit- This property was BY FAR the best host we have encountered. The house is very clean, comfortable and had all and more of the amenities you want /need for vacation. Jen provided the little things which made our stay amazing. (example- sleep sound machine - blow dryer/ straight iron / clothes steamer/fans/ all new beach items ……. Many extras provided ). She was very communicative and helpful. We had zero issues but Jen checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed . The property is located within walking distance of everything in Dunedin and is a short drive to many local beaches . The house is in a perfect location and is very family friendly or adult vacay - whatever you choose- I highly recommend this property and we hope to go back again soon . We had a great week.

Late summer getaway
Accommodations were great. Location is perfect. Owner provided everything we needed for a week long stay. We felt very safe and at home the whole time. We were in close walking proximity to the Pinellas Trail and downtown. We highly recommend heading north to Rusty Bellies for a great meal. We would definitely return to this property. The umbrellas and chairs for the beach have seen better days but that is typical of most condos that provide these. Grab a bag of ice if you need to make some adult beverages when you walk in the door. There is no ice maker, just trays to make your own.

Downtown Dunedin
This house was very clean and very well stocked w shampoo, paper products, etc. Two disappointing concerns were as follows: Florida is extremely hot and humid in July and the air conditioning was intentionally locked so we could not lower it. All bedrooms upstairs were too warm. Also the A.C. Unit is very loud keeping us up. Also one bathroom upstairs has a difficult cast iron tub which is very unsafe to use. Plumbing struggling to get water pressure.

Pleasant stay
Girls getaway to my old hometown… The house is located a short walk from downtown. The house is clean and bright and beachy. Nice cold A/C! We loved the room setups for 3 and bathrooms worked out well. The amenities from coffee and creamers and filtered water was very appreciated, you can walk 900’ to a cappuccino and breakfast cafe too. We also were very appreciative of beach towels, chairs, umbrella and toys to use while we were there. We would definitely stay here again and plan to come back. Also, as a side note, we took the cooking workshop at Dunedin Fine Arts center a short drive away, on Paella night. It was fun, great 3 course meal and great chef. BYOB and music and just a great night. Had leftovers the next day too! Jen was a pleasure to work with, great experience overall!
