This cottage was in a great area. Very clean, spotless. My husband and I were very impressed. It is a 2-3 minute walk to the beach, and there are several great restaurants within walking distance.

Cute, bright, clean cottage - walking distance to beaches and services

We enjoyed our stay. All appliances in kitchen nicely up to date. Very comfortable bathroom with double sinks and beautiful, large walk in shower. Comfy living room, steps from restaurants, gulf beach, inter coastal. Nearby to Clearwater and Dunedin. Host is very responsive to any and all needs.

Mother Day & Birthday for wife

Very cool little cottage, nicely updated to modern look, with all you need to kick back and relax. Accommodations were spotless and everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Check in and check out was quick and simple. Short walk to beaches and food. Communication with owners was almost instant response. Will definitely come back to this cottage in the future.

vacation in paradise!

Our one-week trip was amazing. Mary and her crew made the cottage perfect for us. It was bright and clean and happy, isolated from other properties with readily available shared laundry, a fenced-in backyard with a new deck (perfect for our dog), and drop-ins for paddleboarding easily in the bay to the east or with a short walk to the gulf to the west, with dolphin sightings in the gulf. We comfortably prepared meals many days/ nights in the updated kitchen, and also splurged on walkable restaurants (and ice cream stores!!) within blocks nearby. The grocery store is a quick drive over the bridge, as are some cool nature preserves to run to. The beach is beautiful and clean, with many turtle nests marked too. It was perfect for reading under the tent, digging holes, and playing Kadima. We cannot wait to return!
