About this property

Cozy Coastal Villa - Close To Beaches, Parks, Shops, Walking & Bike Trails

Located on the Dunedin Causeway, a.k.a. Curlew Rd on the mainland, this newly renovated villa is uniquely situated. From here, you can walk, bike, or drive to stores, restaurants and beautiful sandy beaches. The Causeway and Islands areas have long been a favorite for all kinds of water activities and is generally a more local/low key alternative to the more well-known Clearwater beach, which is also nearby.

On across the Causeway, Caladesi and Honeymoon Islands offer swimming, birding, shelling, kayaking, sailing, paddle boarding, and wonderful sunsets. In the quaint little town of Dunedin, you'll find festivals, shopping, antiquing, and many fine and reasonably priced restaurants or you can hop on the Jolly Trolley and explore all the way from Clearwater up to Tarpon Springs to see the sponge divers.

Just steps away from the villa is the Pinellas Trail, a multi-use recreation trail extending from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, providing a unique, protected greenspace for walking, jogging, skating and biking. Bike rentals are available just two blocks away.

For the sports-minded, Dunedin and nearby Clearwater are the homes to the spring training facilities for the Toronto Blue Jays and the Philadelphia Phillies.

A unique property in a unique setting, there is something for everyone ... whether you are snowbirds, weekend warriors, professional athletes, interns, retirees, or anyone else looking for a true Gulf Coast getaway. We love it and hope you will, as well.

Wonderful Location

Mary and Amanda were a joy. They were quick to answer any questions we had, including how to work the tv remote! The villa was clean and well equipped. The location couldn't be any better! Watching the sunset from the causeway was just beautiful. We spent many hours in the pool, enjoying the Florida sun! In the middle between Clearwater and Tarpon Springs, Dunedin is a delightful area to be! Thank you Mary and Amanda for sharing Oma's Boat House!!

I've never seen so many people and so much traffic.

My rental unit was clean, with a great location, attentive owner and a reasonable lease cost. The problem I had was with the area around Dunedin, Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor and Oldsmar. It is so overcrowded with people and traffic that there is hardly a square foot anywhere that isn't developed into a shopping center, a trailer court or housing development. The traffic was lined up a quarter mile long at the stop lights and that was 3 lanes wide! I've been to Panama city beach and Destin many times and never felt intimidated to drive my car around that area like I felt driving in the Tampa area. My brother lives there and I will never go back even to visit. I'm not a timid driver but the people there drive like they are nuts. Just not my cup of tea. Sorry.

Wonderful vacation!

I've been staying there for several years now and it's perfect. The condo is very clean and fully equipped, including cable TV and internet. The pool is very nice also. It's in a great location, very close to Honeymoon Island State Park and near grocery stores and restaurants. Many local restaurants featured outside dining, which I really enjoyed. The woman who owns the condo is extremely nice. I hope to return next summer.

Causeway Comfort

Enjoyed being close to some of our favorite places like fishing spots and parks. Also, it was a central location for visiting friends in St. Pete, Tampa, and Palm Harbor. Communication was easy, bed was comfortable, and villa and kitchen were well equipped.

Perfect summer getaway

This is the 4th time I've stayed at Oma's boathouse and it's always wonderful. It's very nicely decorated and has everything I needed to cook my own meals. The pool is lovely and I love how close it is to Frenchy's and Honeymoon Island. I hope to return next year.

Beautiful villa

I went back to this villa for the second time because I enjoyed it so much last summer. It has everything needed for a month long stay, including beach towels, bags, water bottles etc. The pool is very nice and it's great having the washer and dryer right by the pool. I hope to return again.

Excellent location. Beautiful place and owners

Before we rented the villa, the owner was very accommodating to showing it to us beforehand. The home is very nicely decorated. The owners are super friendly and kind. They respond to emails or text within maybe 2 or 3 minutes. They will do whatever it takes to make your vacation very enjoyable. We loved the place and the location right on the causeway close to nice restaurants, honeymoon island, Dunedin downtown. We highly recommend this villa.

Location, location!

Tha villa is a little gem right on Dunedin Causeway on the way to Honeymoon Island. We were pleased to see the villa stocked with many nesessities. The pool was kept very clean and we used it frequently. May was extremely hot and we could have used a second air conditioner in the livingroom which would make cooking in the kitchen cooler. All in all we had a most enjoyable stay. Thank you Mary and Amanda you were great to work with.

A Great Place to Spend the Winter!!

We had spent several winters in the Palm Harbor area in an RV park. We really enjoyed the area and decided to look for a condo/villa in the area so we didn't have to haul our trailer down. We found Oma's Boathouse, had the chance to look at it before booking and thought that it would be perfect for us. The location is perfect, close to both the Pinellas Trail and the Dunedin Causeway/Honeymoon Island. It is a short drive to a number of really nice beaches (including Clearwater Beach) and there are a lot of wonderful restaurants in the area. The Villa is well appointed and is very comfortable. We used the grill and pool a lot. The other folks who live or were renting at Tahitian Villas were very friendly. The owner Mary and her daughter Amanda were terrific to work with We were very happy staying there and liked it so much we have already booked for next winter. It was a delightful spot. Can't wait for next February.

I loved Oma's boathouse. It's decorated in a very cute, beachy style and had everything I needed for cooking, including some spices, oil, etc. The pool was nice and there were washers and dryers. It's very close to Honeymoon Island, restaurants and a grocery store. It was a short drive to Tarpon Springs and Clearwater Beach. I definitely want to go back there.

Cozy Coastal Villa

We love the villa "Oma's Boathouse" which we rented for the month of March. It was newly renovated, very clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect - close to grocery store, drug store, restaurants and bus/trolley routes. The Pinellas Trail was very close for anyone who likes biking or walking. You can rent bikes beside Dollar General. The causeway is the perfect place to walk/run were you can see dolphins off shore or you can watch the sunset. The heated pool was well maintained and just steps away. The neighbors we met were very friendly and welcoming. The owner Mary and her daughter Amanda were both very friendly and great to work with. Any questions we had were responded to immediately. We would definately go back.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Bird

I live in North Carolina and my family lives here in Clearwater. We bought this villa so that I'd have a place to stay when I come to visit. Since I can't come as often as I like, we decided to share it with you. We've spent a lot of time making it just as we'd like it, so we hope you will feel the same way.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in Florida and spent many days at the beach. I love my mountains, but I miss the relaxation of the ocean waves. This villa is in just about the best relaxation location I can imagine.
