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.

Excellent location in a quaint home

We had a wonderful time in Dunedin and this home was the perfect place to kick off our fun. It was not even a block away from where we could pick up the free ride car and rent bikes to explore more. Loved reading about the family who own the home.

Perfect spot. Could not have been more perfect. The house was wonderful and very spacious. We had 2 seniors with us and still it was a 5 minute walk to baseball, a 5 minute walk to the marina and 2 minutes to Main Street. Cant say enough positives!

Historical Gem

Perfect location to enjoy all that Downtown Dunedin has to offer. We were in Dunedin to attend a wedding. We were able to walk to all the activities associated with the wedding. I would definitely stay here again. The house had plenty of room for all four of us with the three large bedrooms. It is a very interesting home as well with all the history displayed in it. The neighborhood is beautiful and very quiet for being one block away from downtown.

Perfect location with historic charm.

Great location, 2-3 blocks to all restaurants, shops, fair grounds, and water. Older home with upgrades. Clean, relaxing and comfortable describes this location. Sitting on the screened front porch at night was enjoyable and perfect after a busy day. An enormous amount of cooking, eating, food prep appliances and dishes/glasses available. Lots of personnel effects left behind from owners which was different but also inviting.

A Wonder Rental Except For

It's a great rental! Loved the location and the screened porch and the kitchen and pretty much everything except the televisions. We were two 82 year olds with minimal tech savy regarding televisions and television service providers. We could not get the tv in the living room to turn on and reached out to the host who promptly responded but could do nothing to help. We had better luck with the tv in the first floor bedroom, however, it appeared we needed to subscribe to some type of streaming service to get programs we really wanted to watch -- such as the Super Bowl on CBS. We found ourselves frustrated -- likely due to our ineptitudes. It would have been nice to have been told about the tvs in advance and to have some printed guidance in the rental for each tv.

The name is in the title...charming!!

We had such a wonderful time renting this house. It was absolutely perfect and was fully stocked! We felt like we were at home. It’s super close to shops and dining; definitely walking distance. We will absolutely rent again. My husbands family is in Clearwater and it’s much easier for us to rent a home vs renting hotel rooms (and even cheaper most of the time). The hosts went out of their way to be in contact with us about check in, check out, and anything else we needed. I’d give more stars if I could.

Adorable!

Absolutely precious vintage home within walking distance of shops, great restaurants, the waterfront, docks, bike trail, weekend craft shows, etc. With 3 baths, it was very comfortable for 3 couples. Perfect for families or a girls trip! Did I mention the short walk to great restaurants!?! The large kitchen is well equipped if you want to prepare meals. There's a dining room and living area with TV, but the majority of our time at the house was spent on the screened front porch. If you appreciate the quirks of a well loved older house vs the shiny and new, I highly recommend Waverly's charming home.

Be a part of Dunedin history

This is the second year that we have rented this beautiful historic home - we call it the Mansion. I live in Dunedin and when my friends visit, we rent this home as an extension to my residence. Initially, it was simply convienient for the additional space close to my home and downtown to accommodate guests. But now it has become a focal point and everyone enjoys game night and dinner at the mansion! It is beautifully furnished yet very cozy! You feel like you have stepped back to a simpler time in the "Old Florida".

We stayed at this lovely Dunedin home for s surprise 90th birthday party for family in the area. The house was perfect! Every amenity you could want was provided, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the beds were so comfortable. It was also immaculate.

Great location, great house, great host.

We had a wonderful stay at Waverly's house in Dunedin. We were down to visit family over the holidays. Waverly's house allowed all of us to stay comfortably. We took many walks into delightful downtown Dunedin and enjoyed pleasant times just sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. The house was well stocked and very clean. While we didn't get around to using the bicycles, we did use the barbecue grill for several dinners at "home". Waverly - though we never met - is a thoughtful accommodating hostess and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Thanks, Waverly.

Experience Old Florida style in lovely Dunedin home!

Pleasant and relaxed living was ours for a long weekend in this traditional, comfortable, and attractive home. Located in the picturesque coastal town of Dunedin , this home is spacious and well-appointed. It was very beneficial to us that this home had a downstairs bedroom and bath as one of our family could not do stairs. The home included three spacious sleeping areas that were both comfortable and private. Waverly, the very accommodating owner, provided a pristine location, well-stocked pantry and linens and start-up supplies, and tips about sites, activities, restaurants, and shops. We found time to visit Honeymoon Island, Caladesi State Park (voted Best Beach in the U.S), and the pier at Edgewater Park to watch the sunset; we also had ice-cream at Strachan's, shopped at quaint little shops, and enjoyed several incredible meals. We had delicious cheesesteaks at Delco's, amazing brunch selections on Sunday at The Living Room , and wonderful breakfasts at Kelley's . Incredibly, almost everything was within comfortable walking distance! We especially enjoyed visiting the beautiful nearly one-hundred year-old church across the street. There was time for a delicious home-cooked meal, enjoyed in the lovely dining room, and board games afterward in the living room. While the ladies rested, the men took the Dunedin Brewery Tour...a big success. All weekend was a fulfilling, much-needed break at a gorgeous locale. We will happily return for future visits. Thank you so much, Waverly, for providing this wonderful "home away from home".

The perfect vacation home in Dunedin

We had the good fortune to select this charming home in Dunedin for our recent visit with Family located in the surrounding area. This property provided us with a great location very close to the main street with some of the best dinning and local attractions. Notable for a truly special dinner is the Black Pearl which is an absolute must, as well as Bon Appetit which was also very good with the added bonus of a clear view of the evening sunset. The house itself is well appointed, kitchen completely stocked, and the bed's very comfortable. We enjoyed the screened in porch in the evenings, and riding the Pinellas trail with the bicycles provided in the cooler mornings. We visited Clearwater as well as Honeymoon beach, both were quite nice but we would recommend avoiding the weekend causeway traffic. The property owner, Waverly, was very helpful providing detailed information on activities and local dinning before we arrived which helped us greatly with our pre-planning. When we are again in Dunedin we would certainly look to return to this home.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Gallozzi

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!
