We had an excellent vacation the accommodation and grounds were just as described if not more picturesque. the pool area and grounds were beautiful The hut was perfect and some added touches such as toiletries a welcome surprise. with the decking area at the rear overlooking the pool was a lovely place to chill at any time of the day or night Our hosts were there if needed but not overly obvious the perfect mix The grounds are just a 4-5 minute drive to beautiful Main St downtown Dunedin with a surplus of shops restaurants and cafes perfect for a vacation We would recommend and return Thank you

Beautiful property

This was my second time staying at this property, this time in Island Oak and Tiki Hut Cottage. Both places are very cute, clean and well maintained, but what draws me in is the property itself. Their landscape is a work of art and stunning. We had a wonderful stay!

The place was absolutely beautiful to stay at. The outdoor oasis was amazing and our kids loved the pool. They had mosquitos but they provided a brand new bottle of bug spray and citronella candles outside to use. The inside of the unit was very clean and well stocked. The location was amazing and close to the beach as well as downtown Dunedin. If we go back to the area, I would check to see if this place is available. Its definitely a gem to stay at!

This was our fourth stay at this outstanding property, and we look forward to returning year after year. Nothing compares to morning coffee in the Tiki Hut, or relaxing in the evening overlooking the pool and beautiful grounds. I often recommend the property when speaking to friends or even complete strangers; this year I shared a brochure with people that were behind us in the queue for the airplane on the way home. We are already looking to stay number five!

Excellent Property

Took our grandchildren over to see some other family before they started school and it just happened to the weekend Mother Nature brought a tropical storm our way. We stayed and bunkered down for 36 hours but it was still a great trip. They host is very nice, understanding and easy to get a hold of.

Tiki Hut

This was my second time staying at the tiki hut house I’m going back with another set of two weeks. This is the most relaxing place you could ever imagine. The grounds are spectacular and really smell like a tropical. I will move back again and I can highly recommend. My only criticism would be the upstair bed could use new mattresses.

Awesome Dunedin Rental

Awesome property and enjoyed the stay. Just a few things that would improve the stay. 1. New coffee machine 2. Smart TV in family room 3. Updated kitchware 4. Adequate Toilet Paper (we ran out with 2 days left in our stay) 5. Mattress in master room has noticeable indent on left side. May want to look into a new/different mattress. We love the property and the location and look forward to many more stays in the future. JH

Hidden Gem In Delightful Dunedin

We loved our stay even with our trip being cut short by a day due to Hurricane Ian approaching. Everything was as described. Kids loved the swimming in the pool, playing on the tree swing and feeding the fish and turtles in the small pond. The mosquitos we're plentiful so bring repellent if you think of it in advance. Highly recommend...we will be returning!!
