You absolutely cannot beat the location of this beautiful and clean home. Really walkable area and short drive to other attractions. Every detail was well thought out and anything you might need for your stay is here for you. The beds, pillows, and linens were super comfy (and I say this as someone who really struggles to sleep anywhere that is not my own bed; I slept great). The coffee, even milk and water was so thoughtful. We really loved our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Location was great! We could walk to many bars and restaurants. It was nice having the bike trail so close. The house is small. Parking was limited. No storage for our ebikes. Good option for a short stay. The hosts were very accommodating.
The location could not be beat, the decor and attention to detail were exceptional. The hosts are very communicative and responsive. No issues at all with the rental, just personal needs that came up. Beds were super comfortable, having a Ninja blender was clutch and loved the coffee and coffee maker. Highly, highly recommend!!!
The home was so clean. It has such a warm feeling to it. The shower was amazing!! The water pressure amazing. Parking was right in front. Location was walking to all. Host was really friendly and helpful!! We will be back.

Why they chose this property
It's got everything and has a small town local vibe while being right on the water and minutes from the best beaches in the U.S. We've grown to love the owners and managers of the businesses near by and there is always something new to explore. The town has activities and things to do every week and having the Pinellas Trail a few steps outside the door gives unlimited options of places to eat, drink and shop.
We have just fallen in love with Dunedin and stay whenever the house is available to us.
What makes this property unique
The accessibility to so many small local businesses plus the water and beaches. It's got a very quiet back yard space that is so peaceful and tranquil while being very close to all of the action in Dunedin. It's truly a very special place to stay.
