The property and our guest experience there exceeded not only my actual expectations, but also anything I would have dreamed up if I had a more vivid imagination! The cottage is perfectly situated in Dunedin -- which is a pretty perfect place itself -- and was a very convenient and welcome home base for a bunch of family business in the Clearwater area. Barbra is a lovely, thoughtful host and has completely spoiled me for future "guest" experiences anywhere else.
