Our stay was wonderful. Enjoyed cooling off in the pool after being out for the day and biking on the trail. We've stayed in this area before and love the location as it is a short distance to Clearwater and Dunedin. The home is well stocked and tended to regularly. Sue was very responsive to the few questions we had. Very comfortable stay. Thank you!

We enjoyed the private pool and going to the beach was a breeze with all of the supplies Sue had for us to use. Sue is the perfect host with amazing communication and recommendations.

Susan was a wonderful host and the cove was a nice home away from home!The home was very clean and lots of extra goodies throughout. I like the location because it’s not in a busy area but yet I could walk to downtown and the water because I walk every day. Decorated lovely cute and cozy yet had plenty of space. The pool was just right for cooling off!

The Cove was very cozy, stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our beach vacation. The sleeping quarters were a little tight for 2 adults, a teen, and older kid--but we really enjoyed the pool and the beach toys that were provided. We spent most of our time swimming, so it definitely had everything we needed!

I can say without a doubt that this is one of my favorite rental homes I have ever stayed in! We stayed here as a family of three adults and a small child, and it was the perfect place to celebrate a milestone week for my 40th (and husband's 39th) birthday. While the house itself is on the smaller side, it is incredibly spacious and fit our group comfortably. The home was sparkling clean upon arrival, and the beds were so comfortable that everyone got a great night's sleep. The location is also fantastic, sitting just a convenient 10-minute drive away from beach access.The owner has truly thought of everything, providing all the amenities you could ever need, which was especially noticeable in the wonderfully equipped kitchen and laundry areas. Our absolute favorite part of the stay was the private, beautifully landscaped backyard and pool area. The yard is filled with gorgeous bushes and vibrant flowers that we loved looking at, and they attracted many beautiful butterflies. We spent so much time relaxing on the lovely screened-in back patio, and having a highly convenient garage bathroom right near the pool area was a complete game-changer for regular swim days. To top it all off, the host's communication was top-notch, as the owner always responded quickly to our messages. We cannot recommend this beautiful home enough!

Our stay at "The Cove" was comfortable, quiet, and fun. The house is close to all of our favorite activities and great places to eat and NOT too close to family (we like our privacy). The Cove is a great place to stay and we'll use it again!
