Beautiful Oasis

Stumbled upon this beautiful oasis, but will absolutely be coming back here. A wonderfully planned and manicured landscape. We truly felt we were not in Florida during out stay. Can't wait to plan my next stay here.

Amazing!

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here! The property is exactly (actually better than) the pictures shown. Spotless and well stocked with essentials as well. The hosts were quick to respond to questions and recommendations for area activities and restaurants. We are already looking forward to staying here again on our next trip to Dunedin.

Visiting family in nearby Clearwater

Exactly as described by previous reviews and through the pictures. Our stay was singular in its experience from the moment we pulled into this oasis, with its relaxing sights and sounds as well as a cottage that was balance in its decor without clutter, yet with everything one would need when away from home. Lori and Gary are accomplished hosts, allowing privacy as well as generous information when needed. We are grateful for finding and having the privilege of staying at their peaceful haven.

The grounds are beautiful & the place is conveniently located near downtown Dunedin in a charming quaint neighborhood. Loved it and would definitely go back!

Wonderful property in a tropical setting. Very quiet location and not too far from downtown. Owners were very helpful with a quick response if you had any questions. Bikes and helmets were available for riding the Pinellas trail. Looking forward to staying next year !

Great Stay!

The place was exactly as described on-line but better! It was well-kept, nicely decorated, very clean and well-stocked with kitchen supplies. With the well-maintained landscaping, you wouldn't know that the place was between two communities. It was located in a quiet area. However, you were walking distance from the hub bub of downtown Dunedin and a short driving distance from other beaches and towns. We would definitely stay here the next time we're around!

Gorgeous little getaway

My husband and I stayed for 3 days as a late/extended birthday celebration for me. What a beautiful and peaceful spot! Driving down the road to the property you’d never expect such a wonderful place to be through the front gates. The space was airy and comfortable and clean and we really enjoyed our time. The outside space is gorgeous and the pool is nice and refreshing. We hope to make it back some day and maybe stay a little longer. 😊

Simply fantastic

Great and welcoming hosts. A beautiful rental in an awesome tropical paradise. Rental was extremely clean, well stocked and nicely appointed. The grounds and amenities are amazing - so very well thought out. This was truly a home away from home. We loved it as soon as we drove into the beautiful secluded oasis. Other guests were quiet and respectful. Close to beaches, shopping and dining. Less than a mile from the bay. We enjoyed feeding the turtles and fish. We enjoyed the grounds, so relaxing to sit and take in the beauty of the landscape. If we could score this higher than 5 out of 5 we would. Thank you Lori and Gary for a wonderful stay. We look forward to returning. God bless!

What are you waiting for? Book your stay asap!

This slice of heaven in the middle of a bustling town was worth every penny. Not only was it affordable, it was updated, had many amenities including laundry detergent and dryer sheets, was secluded from other guests, close to everything with ample uber rides available and felt like we were in Jamaica. The kitchen was a good size, clean and full of pots and pans/essentials. The king sized bed and couches were comfortable and soft. The space was open and bright and the carpet felt new and clean. Theres a lovely lit up entrance/walkway with tons of greenery that leads to 4 different units and another unit by the pool. The pool was beyond spacious and this entire property would be ideal for a larger family vacation where people want space but would also like to interact frequently. There was also a fire pit, grassy area for kids to play/swing, and a hot tub. I didnt want to leave! Thank you for a great first stay away from our kiddo!

We loved staying at this beautiful tropical get away. The grovekeeper cottage was beautifully maintained. We had everything we needed. The landscaping felt like a secluded little paradise. The place was super clean. Check in and check out was super easy. The pool area was so beautiful and the pond with the little turtles and koi fish. It was such a relaxing few days. We will definately return. This was unlike any other vrbo we have stayed at. Just the best!

Relaxing Getaway!

This is a gorgeous hidden gem! The whole property is like a lush resort. We used the pool (with fountains!), the hotub (secluded), and so enjoyed feeding the koi in the pond. The landscaping is stunning and gives a true Florida-feel. We rode our bikes to downtown Dunedin daily, which was an easy & quick trek. The house itself is very clean, organized, and comfy. Property owners were super kind & friendly. What a lovely trip!
