We enjoyed our stay in the cottage! It was the perfect spot for our weekend getaway. The house was lovely! Extremely clean and well appointed with very comfy beds and a location that can’t be beat. Staying along the Pinellas Trail was so convenient- just a short walk to the center of town. We took advantage of all Dunedin has to offer- great restaurants and shops, a nice little farmer’s market and close to the beautiful beaches on Honeymoon & Caladesi Islands. We will return and definitely recommend this property to our friends and family. Thank you for a memorable weekend!

We have stayed many places in Dunedin, and the Cottage by the Gulf was the most perfect one. It was very clean and open, the kitchen was a dream to work in, and the patio was like an extra living room. Location was a cyclist's dream, and the neighbors were very friendly. We will never forget this one!
