Best beach a bike ride away, and Charming Dowtown Dunedin a quick walk away

This absolutely charming 3/1.5 bed/bath single family home is the perfect getaway. Close to the beaches, 1 mile north of the town center of Dunedin, and 30 minutes to Tampa International Airport. The house is comfortable, with 1 King, 1 Queen and a twin day bed. The eat in kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, and you will find all of the necessities PLUS in the house.
For those considering a home office, the breezeway is fully enclosed, air conditioned and equipped with a wireless printer, wifi and a desk/chair. This is actually the best room in the house with windows on two sides.
The garden area out back features a screen enclosed seating area, and an outdoor shower; Jim added hot water last year and its a really nice option.
Very private and lushly landscaped.
Less than two blocks from the front door is the Pinellas Trail, a 30 plus mile rail to trail horizontal park, for walking, biking and skating. Three blocks away is a little bit of old Florida: 80 acre Hammock Park with walking trails, a butterfly garden, kayak launch and frisbee golf. Oh, and a playground and picnic pavillions to share.
The town of Dunedin boasts great restaurants and bars, plus the first local Brewery, Dunedin Brewery. Add to this weekly farmers markets and festivals. You will not be bored here!
Points to the north take you right out to Honeymoon Island and the beach there, and ferry to Caledesi Island. Points south lead you to downtown Clearwater and the Capitol Theater for live music and performance art. Cross the bridge to the most desirable sand beaches in Clearwater or Sand Key.
Golf courses, art museums and a delightful casual lifestyle greet you each day.

GREAT LOCATION

HOUSE WAS NICE WITH GREAT AMMENITIES. ONE BATH SHOWS BEING A TOILET WITH A TUB SHOWER COMBO. IT IS ACCUALLY A TOILET WITH A STAND UP SHOWER LOCATER IN THE GARAGE THAT IS WITHOUT HEAT. ON-LINE PICTURES ARE QUITE OLD AND THE YARD IS A JUNGLE WITH NO SUN LIGHT EVER. OUTDOOR SPACE CAN'T BE USED UNLESS THERE IS EXTENSIVE CLEANUP. LOCATION IS WONDERFUL EXCEPT WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT ON 19A (IT'S A BLIND CORNER SUGGEST USING OTHER EXITS). OWNERS RESPOND QUICK WHEN ISSUES ARRIVED CLOSE TO THE BEACH, RESTAURANTS, BIKING AND WALKING PATHS.

Dunedin House

We really enjoyed our stay at your lovely house close enough to the Jolley Trolley route that we skipped renting a car. Roomy, comfortable, and well maintained this location provided a relaxing vacation experience. The owners were very responsive and we would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks!

An Angel Dropped A Little House From Heaven Right In the Middle of a Tropical Garden of Eden

I'm still not sure what mistake I made that caused this home to pop into my screen - I was looking for a condo, not a whole house for pete's sake!!. This mistake is my best ever. Happiness is the color of every room, the kitchen cupboard has enough staples and spices to get you started, the best ever beds (and pillows), gleaming floors, extra shelves in the bathroom, a make-yourself-comfortable kitchen, too. The writer's space is practical. I (we) loved this house. If they ever sell this gem, it's mine!

FINALLY, A REALLY GOOD RENTAL

This rental was exceptionally clean as compared with some others. Despite being close to Alt-19 road, the rental was mostly quiet. Our only concern was the inability to operate the TV remotes due to the complexity of the TV system. The two flat screen TVs were excellent.

Great spot in Dunedin

This was a wonderful place to stay for multiple reasons. The "hosts" were fantastic, responding to questions before arrival and to comments during our stay. The location is great - as noted in the ad -- very near the trail to parks and downtown Dunedin. The house accommodated adults and child: beautifully furnished inside and outside . Although hosts can't take credit for the weather, that was also first rate -- maybe it is the March timeframe? We will most certainly keep this location at the top of our list for future FL trips. Thank you.

Perfect rental in Dunedin

Cant say enough about this beautiful home and the owners. Nancy and Jim were wonderful to rent from, we had to extend our stay several times on short notice and they were always more than accommodating. The house itself is very comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. This cute home is in a great location for spending time outdoors as well as being close to restaurants and shopping. My husband and I really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay here again. Thank you again Jim and Nancy!

Great find!

We had a great time in Dunedin. Pinellas Trail and Hammock Park , a few blocks away, offer wonderful walking/biking paths. Nancy and Jim are wonderful hosts and are quick to respond to any inquiries. The house is very comfortable, especially the bed in the master bedroom. The outside covered seating area is greatly appreciated on hot days. We highly recommend it. Bob & Sally

This house is just right.

Just the right size, right location and the right combination of lived in and pristine. I stayed in this cool, beach house for almost two months while working in Clearwater. The bike trail is a block away, Hammock Park is a great spot to spend time, and the gorgeous Honeymoon beach is a five minute drive. This house is comfy and very well decorated. There are many places to hang out , both inside and outside the house. I recommend this classic Florida coast bungalow home away from home.
