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! :)

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!

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!

Nice clean little home just off of Pinellas trail and next to baseball stadium. At first, I thought it was a little far from downtown, but actually a very easy .5 mile walk! I would stay here again

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.

Friends getaway
This was an adorable little cottage and perfect for 4 people. I love the beachy decorations and beautiful outdoor area. The kitchen has everything you need, beds were comfortable, and everything was very clean. The location is perfect and loved walking the Pinellas Trail right outside the house leading to Downtown Dunedin. Would totally stay here again!

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.

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".
