The location of the house was great as we bought our bikes to ride along the trail and it was close to some pretty beaches.

The cottage was perfect for us! Our daughter and her puppy vacationed with us there. The cottage was clean, well-appointed regarding linens, furnishings, etc. Our host, Denay was very good at communicating important info to us. And the location is perfect...right next to the Pinellas Trail and walking distance to the gulf and the downtown area of Dunedin. Highly recommend this cottage, in fact we will probably rent again in the future! :)

Perfect!

We stayed at this location for my sister’s wedding at the Fenway. Just by walking in you felt at home. Everything was so clean and put together with simple rules to follow before leaving. We took a little walk down the road to see a beautiful sunset and watch some dolphins playing! If that’s not a perfect destination to stay I don’t know what would be!

Great location and hosts!

The cottage is located next to the Pinellas Trail which leads straight to historic downtown Dunedin. We were able to walk everywhere. Power was out the first night of our stay, but our hosts immediately dropped off a portable a/c and worked with the power company to have it restored. The accommodations were perfect and would love to go back!

Cottage by the bay

My stay was wonderful. The cottage was a perfect location for me. Right off Pinellas Trail. Which takes you right into Downtown Dunedin, loads of cute shops, breweries, and so many eateries. And two blocks from the bay, sun sets are beautiful from there. I am looking forward to returning. The cottage itself was perfect . Very welcoming.

The property is very clean and well equipped for cooking. Our questions or concerns were very quickly addressed. It was easy to communicate with the owner. The proximity to the Pinellas Bike Trail and bicycles available for use at the property was a very happy and wonderful surprise. I would not hesitate to return or recommend this property.

A Week In Dunedin

The house was well cared for and conveniently located. We mostly ate out, but had a full kitchen if we wanted to cook. The only thing I thought they could've added was to have some condiments in the frig. We had a wonderful time in Dunedin and surrounding areas of Tampa. Our time at the beaches was wonderful and being able to go into the Toronto Blue Jays stadium to watch the fireworks was an added bonus.

The Cottage

When we arrived at the property I was given earlier the door combo so we were able to get in. It was very clean and inviting as you walked thru the door. The Kitchen was a gallery and a bit small but very nice and well equipped. We were impressed as a basket of snacks and some waters were on the counter for our use. We were never given snacks and it gave us a good feeling that our hostess cares and is very thoughtful. The area was quiet but we couldn't get much to watch on the TV.

Great Stay

My husband and I just spent the month of March at Denay’s lovely home in Dunedin, Fl. From start to finish, our stay was wonderful. Our check in was very smooth. We arrived at night and there were lights on for us, which was nice. The home is beautiful, very clean and spacious and well equipped for a longer stay. The location can’t be beat. You are literally right next to the Pinellas trail and across the street from Blue Jays stadium and also a short walk to downtown. Denay is a superb host. She responds very quickly and addressed a few minor concerns that came up very promptly. She even sent us over a brand new Keurig coffee maker when we asked for one! We enjoyed many pleasant mornings sitting on the porch with our morning coffee. We also appreciated that her home is pet friendly. It was great to have our dog with us for the month. We would not hesitate to stay here again and we highly recommend Denay’s home to anyone looking for a great place in Dunedin.

Great location, modern appliances, great hosts

Being at walking distance from Main st and EV charger is a winning combination. They were so many nice details. Variety of coffee, cookies, hypoallergenic laundry detergent and bath soap. Modern appliances, microwave fridge, washer and dryer. Hosts followed up daily. Even the outside of the house is well preserved. We will be back!

Dunedin 23

The house was cute with a perfect location right on the Pinellas Trail 5 min walk to Main St Dunedin with all of it's shops, breweries & restaurants. You can see the Toronto Blue Jays ball park from the front yard. Parking could have been confusing as there are two rentals on the same lot. Luckily the other building was not rented during our stay so the parking was not an issue.

Amazing locations. Comfort of a true home. Unparalleled customer service.
Mike and Denay are local real estate agents with a passion for providing their guests with an exceptional stay in their beloved area. They are happily married with three kids and two pups. They only purchase homes close to a "downtown" area filled with shops, restaurants, playgrounds, breweries and other local attractions. They have lived in most of their short term rentals, therefore the homes have been tailored to be a true "home away from home".
