We have stayed many places in Dunedin, and the Cottage by the Gulf was the most perfect one. It was very clean and open, the kitchen was a dream to work in, and the patio was like an extra living room. Location was a cyclist's dream, and the neighbors were very friendly. We will never forget this one!

Birthday party weekend

Property was clean and well laid out, we were able to put the baby in the second bedroom which was great for naps. The convenience of walking the Trail to restaurants and shops was great! The kitchen had everything we needed. My only recommendation is to have more hooks in the bathrooms to hang towels to dry.

Great place to stay! We loved the location of it being right by the trail. My husband and I took the bikes out one day for a ride. There was a small park right across the road for the kids to play and a bigger one right down the road. We hope to be back soon!!

We loved staying at this little cottage! Literally right off the Pinellas Trail, 10 min walk to downtown, and even a shorter walk to a bench overlooking the bay! Great Location!The house was well appointed. Even snacks and water when we arrived! Plenty of towels! The owner was super responsive and kind! AC worked great!Good Hot water! Great house for 4 or less people. The only negative I can think of is the size of the kitchen. Galley style and hard for more than one person(at least in our family) to be in there at a time. but that’s not even worth half a star, IMO. We loved everything about our stay. If we are ever in Dunedin again, we would definitely stay here!

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! :)

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!
