Less 10 minutes and you will be to the quaint shops and restaurants and right 15 minutes to Dunedin causeway and Honeymoon Island State Park. "About the property" as pictures illustrate, The gated property is a tropical oasis that the owners have nurtured over the last 20 years. Enjoy vistas of native and subtropical plants and trees. Start your day with a stretch in the private Zen garden, yoga mats provided.

Feed the turtles and Koi in the Koi pond. Take a dip in the lagoon pool (not heated) or just relax on the hammock under the tiki hut. Landscape lights on at night create a romantic setting for couples. "About the cottage", dine in style inside or out, upscale Bohemian furnishings combine with eclectic original artwork set the stage for a truly awesome holiday experience. You will be hooked and be back like so many of our guests, again and again.

Hidden Oasis
We absolutely loved our stay here!The pool area was a tropical paradise (just wish the pool had been heated)! It was so relaxing and peaceful. Our unit was beautifully decorated and very comfortable.The location was perfect for us - Dunedin is a quaint little town, close to Clearwater, but off the beaten path.

Amazing
You would never know this little paradise was right off of the street. So well kept , and our cottage was spotless and gave us everything we needed for our 10 day stay. Lori and Gary were wonderful (and my husband knew Gary and hasn’t seen him for years…a great reunion). We will, definitely, go back there, without a doubt. A wonderful place, relaxing, stress free, and overall, the best.

We really enjoyed this property! It was like being in a tropical garden. We stayed in the Mermaid Cottage for our 30th anniversary. Very convenient to downtown Dunedin and Honeymoon Island & Caladesi State Parks. Several good restaurants and breweries close by. Owners live on site and were very friendly.

Mermaid Oasis
The property is everything the description and photos depict. Grounds are like staying in a piece of paradise. The Mermaid cottage is furnished with period furniture and the bedroom looks out over the beautiful lagoon pool patio. We were not "wanting" for anything more during our stay. Our host was very responsive. The location was perfect for short rides into town. Parking on the property was plentiful.

Tropical Getaway In Town
Serine zenlike gardens for a relaxing getaway with easy access to all amenities Dunedin has to offer. Lagoon style pool and hot tub. Wonderful grilling and lounging areas. Our dog Daisy was fascinated watching the turtles and fish in the coy pond. Gary and Lori are wonderful hosts.
