About this property

Magnolia Ocean Retreat, 🏡5 min from Honeymoon Beach 🌴

The Master bedroom features a plush queen bed, luxurious side tables, a dresser, a TV, and a mini fridge and coffee nook for perfect relaxation. Direct access to the backyard and a connected master bath ensures plenty of privacy for guests.

The second and third bedrooms each offer two comfortable single beds (a total of 4 beds), a high-end down-home luxury design, and a TV for added entertainment. The fourth bedroom is also equipped with a queen bed, plenty of seating, closet space, and a widescreen TV. These bedrooms and the common areas are serviced by a full bath with plenty of towels and modern conveniences.

The recently-renovated kitchen has every modern convenience, including an electric stove and oven, a coffee and tea area, and all the appliances you need for your stay. Guests have full access to the dishwasher and washer and dryer, and detergents are included!

The kitchen opens out into the spacious dining room and living rooms, so you and your loved ones have plenty of room in common areas. A center island bar with high-end countertops is perfect for preparing your morning coffee, serving up yummy meals, or leaving out snacks and drinks for loved ones to pick on throughout the day, and the dining room seats 6 comfortably and has a warm, homey wooden aesthetic. The living room has an enormous wrap-around couch, plenty of light, and a Smart TV.

There is also a quiet corner seating area with a desk for remote workers, evening planners, or students who need to hit the books!

Throughout the property, guests will find everything they need for a convenient stay, including fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a washer and dryer, and ample backyard space. We encourage guests to enjoy some time around the fire pit and find some rest and relaxation in our home!

For the safety, security, and convenience of all guests, this property is equipped with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and top-of-the-line Google Nest technology including smart doorbells, exterior-facing cameras, thermostats, and the highest speed wi-fi available.

Dunedin is famous for its beaches, pine forests, and the natural joys of Honeymoon Island State Park. Downtown Hammock Park has a wonderful butterfly garden and is a very short drive to Clearwater. Guests love this area for its year-round weather, top-rated beaches, endless shops, restaurants, and bars, proximity to Disney, and the area's many aquariums, zoos, and world-class golf. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the myriad water sports like kayaking, canoeing, pedal boating, fishing, jet skiing, sailing, diving, snorkeling, and more!

Most guests fly directly into Tampa airport, which is a simple 20-25 minute drive from the property. There are plenty of rental car companies, taxis, Lyfts/Ubers. We recommend guests have a vehicle to make the most of their stay, but it is very possible to have a great time taking rideshare and other modes of transit in and around the beaches, like bikes or scooters.

Guests can readily contact us via email, text, or phone. We live 15 minutes from the property and are happy to help with any guest issues. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there are any concerns with your stay or with the property itself. In case of emergencies, guests should call 911 or local police and also notify the host as soon as possible.

Very nice property

We were very pleased with the house, it had everything we needed, was in a quiet neighborhood and not a busy street. We only needed 2 bedrooms, but wanted 2 bathrooms so it worked well. It isn’t far from restaurants, beaches and things to do.

Very nice rental

The property was very well maintained inside and out. Bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. Virtually everything we needed was already supplied. We were a bit concerned by the appearance of the neighborhood, but it turned out to be safe and very quiet. Dunedin downtown was lovely and about a 10 minute drive away.

Charming & comfortable

Denise has clearly poured love into this home. It’s full of special touches and provided everything we needed for our 2 week stay. She even made sure there was a yoga mat for us. The backyard is peaceful and was perfecting for unwinding at the end of the day. We really appreciated the variety of coffee machines. Having desks in the rooms was so helpful as we were working while there.

Pleasant stay in Dunedin

The house was super clean, kitchen well supplied. Towels, linens, beach towels, umbrella, chairs, wagon and cooler all provided. Denise and Paulo were always available to answer any questions and quick to remedy any issues. Our only disappointment was not having better bikes for our 31 mile ride to St. Petersburg. The neighborhood is quiet, but a few homes are in need of care. This is no reflection on the owners of this property. All in all an enjoyable stay with great memories of all Dunedin has to offer.

Awesome Family Dunedin Retreat

I could definitely tell the owners went the extra mile to create a home like feel with decor and functionality. It certainly served it's purpose for our family's stay and was very pleasant. The owner was also attentive to anything we needed (battery replacement on the front door lock, dishwasher replacement, etc.), provided a cleaning service and was hospitable. Quite a few appliances were available as well as a fully functional kitchen, plenty of towels and a lovely back yard. I would overall highly recommend. There were only two downsides which, in my opinion, don't outweigh the many pluses that would have me recommend this VRBO to another. 1) The water left extreme calcium deposits on our dishes - which is quite possibly not an issue under the control of the owner. 2) And that we were heavily pushed at odd hours (10pm) for an administrative error on a payment (payment was correct but it didn't show in VRBO system), and also pushed to write our review. Other then that, we were very happy with our experience.

Magnolia Ocean Retreat - Dunedin

We were pleasantly surprised that the property actually looked like the photos. Beautiful clean, well organized house, equipped with everything we needed from cooking appliances to beach chairs. Located in a nice quite neighborhood and isn't far from beaches. Host was very accommodating and responsive. It was great to have games for the kids, beach chairs, and toys.

All the comforts of home

The home is spotlessly clean. All the cooking supplies you will need are provided. The back yard is darling. We loved our time at this newly remodeled, nicely decorated, cozy, clean home.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Porfirio

Host profile image
We owned a single property in Portugal and we wanted to combine our investment ambitions with our love for the beach, so we decided to invest in more properties in the

Dunedin/Clearwater and Tampa Bay areas. We love the beach so much that we want to provide our guests with the same type of experiences we enjoy.

We are first-and-foremost beach-lovers and family folks! We put a lot of love and care into the smallest detail of each property and how we host. We always strive for 5-star reviews and so we aim to have strong relationships with our guests and do what we can to make sure they have excellent experiences. We know how important it is to have a great time when vacationing and we take our guests very seriously: we love when they love their vacation and know first-hand how important these moments can be for families!

What makes this property unique

Sleep 8 in this 4-bedroom premium home with a gorgeous aesthetic and attention to detail. A relaxed high-end decor, spacious common areas, and extra amenities such as bikes and games, make this a perfect property for single families vacationing in greater Clearwater. Couples will appreciate the mini-fridge and coffee nook in the master bedroom, and beach-lovers can smile easy knowing they are only 5 minutes away from the top beaches in the US.
