This original grove keepers cottage with original tractor barn which once laid claim to an expansive working orange grove in the 1940's. Although the grove has been sold off and developed over the years the remaining 1 acre provides a private tropical sanctuary for its guest in the geographic center of charming Dunedin. .
Cottage #1, has a fireplace, Cottage #2 has tiki hut .


Less 10 minutes and you will be to the quaint shops and restaurants and right 15 minutes to Dunedin causeway and Honeymoon Island State Park. "About the property" as pictures illustrate, The gated property is a tropical oasis that the owners have nurtured over the last 20 years. Enjoy vistas of native and subtropical plants and trees. Start your day with a stretch in the private Zen garden, yoga mats provided.

Feed the turtles and Koi in the Koi pond. Take a dip in the lagoon pool (not heated) or just relax on the hammock under the tiki hut. Landscape lights on at night create a romantic setting for couples. "About the cottage", dine in style inside or out, upscale Bohemian furnishings combine with eclectic original artwork set the stage for a truly awesome holiday experience. You will be hooked and be back like so many of our guests, again and again.

Nice and clean with all the amenities. The grounds were very pretty and the pool area was beautiful, however the weather did not allow the water temp to be comfortable for us to swim.. maybe next time we would come later in May..We used the available bikes to access the Pinellas Trail to go into Dunedin.There were neat little coffee shops and bars that backed up to the trail.A nice, relaxing place to unwind and the hosts were very nice and responsive.

Thank you so much for a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay. The mermaid cottage was clean, quiet, comfortable and felt very private. I loved feeding the fish and turtles and the quiet mornings on the front patio. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

The Mermaid was a lovely cottage in a lovely location. We especially liked the fact that it was pet friendly. Our dog Sarge absolutely loved watching the fish in the fish pond. And the huge old oaks on the property are priceless.

Quiet Hideaway

Beautiful property. Just off the beaten path enough to be secluded and feel like you are in a remote tropical hideaway. Surprisingly quiet and yet close to downtown Dunedin and the beaches.The pool area is an absolute dream, a very relaxing area to chill out for a few hours.
