About this property

Charming, Bright and Spacious Historic Home in central Downtown Dunedin

Five generation family home now available for short-term rentals. Superb location-two or three blocks to the water, downtown restaurants and shopping, baseball stadium, parks, marina, playground, the Pinellas bike trail, and .6 miles from the Fenway. The house faces south to bask in the sun on the prettiest street in Dunedin, quiet and green with huge old trees dripping with Spanish moss. Upstairs is the airy master bedroom with a super comfortable king bed and an ensuite bathroom that overlooks the trees. Also upstairs, a second large bedroom has a king, a double and a twin bed, and a hall bathroom. The downstairs queen bedroom opens into the office and has a hall bath. There is an airy living room, separate dining room, a beautiful sunny kitchen, a front screened porch and an open, unshaded front porch for the winter days when the full sun feels delicious. Full of historic charm and original details, while freshly updated with modern conveniences.

About the host

Host profile image
I grew up in Richmond, Virginia but have worked for the last 30 years in international public health in Africa, Asia and Latin America. I have always enjoyed staying at VRBO properties and am delighted to share our Old Florida home with you!

Why they chose this property

My great-grandfather built the house in 1922. My grandmother and mother both grew up there, and my mom was married in the church across the street in 1952. More than 60 years later, my parents still live here part time. I used to love driving down from Virginia to visit and smelling the jasmine and orange blossoms when we arrived in quaint Dunedin. Our wonderful property manager lives nearby.

What makes this property unique

It's such a pretty neighborhood and just two blocks to Dunedin's Main Street, with the farmers' market, shops, restaurants, festivals, etc. Downtown Dunedin is such a cute little Old Florida small town tucked away far from the strip malls. This home has most everything you need. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and dry goods (spices, salt and pepper, plastic wrap, paper towels etc.) We have fresh new linens including beach towels, vases for the jasmine and hibiscus growing around the house, some lovely china and elegant but comfortable furnishings from family travels all over the world. There are beach towels, beach chairs and a cooler on the back porch.

The front screened in porch is our favorite place for lunch and drinks in the evenings, a great place to watch passers-by out walking their dogs or heading for the farmers' market. Such an easy stroll to restaurants or the water's edge for sunset. Enjoy our wonderful Old Florida home!
