Dunedin, Florida
Located on the Dunedin Causeway, a.k.a. Curlew Rd on the mainland, this newly renovated villa is uniquely situated. From here, you can walk, bike, or drive to stores, restaurants and beautiful sandy beaches. The Causeway and Islands areas have long been a favorite for all kinds of water activities and is generally a more local/low key alternative to the more well-known Clearwater beach, which is also nearby.
On across the Causeway, Caladesi and Honeymoon Islands offer swimming, birding, shelling, kayaking, sailing, paddle boarding, and wonderful sunsets. In the quaint little town of Dunedin, you'll find festivals, shopping, antiquing, and many fine and reasonably priced restaurants or you can hop on the Jolly Trolley and explore all the way from Clearwater up to Tarpon Springs to see the sponge divers.
Just steps away from the villa is the Pinellas Trail, a multi-use recreation trail extending from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, providing a unique, protected greenspace for walking, jogging, skating and biking. Bike rentals are available just two blocks away.
For the sports-minded, Dunedin and nearby Clearwater are the homes to the spring training facilities for the Toronto Blue Jays and the Philadelphia Phillies.
A unique property in a unique setting, there is something for everyone ... whether you are snowbirds, weekend warriors, professional athletes, interns, retirees, or anyone else looking for a true Gulf Coast getaway. We love it and hope you will, as well.
I had a great time. The house is really nice and so conveniently located, near the beach, stores and restaurants. The kitchen is fully equipped and the pool is very nice.
We love love love the home and always wish we could stay longer! Mary and Amanda are excellent hosts. The property is clean, has a great location and includes everything you could want/need for a vacation! Looking forward to our return in 2024!
no issues
My rental unit was clean, with a great location, attentive owner and a reasonable lease cost. The problem I had was with the area around Dunedin, Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor and Oldsmar. It is so overcrowded with people and traffic that there is hardly a square foot anywhere that isn't developed into a shopping center, a trailer court or housing development. The traffic was lined up a quarter mile long at the stop lights and that was 3 lanes wide! I've been to Panama city beach and Destin many times and never felt intimidated to drive my car around that area like I felt driving in the Tampa area. My brother lives there and I will never go back even to visit. I'm not a timid driver but the people there drive like they are nuts. Just not my cup of tea. Sorry.
Oma’s Boathouse is a sheer delight! This was our third stay at this lovely villa that is so clean and comfy! Close to the Causeway and lots of restaurants. Mary and Amanda are the best hosts, eager to help and always responsive. Will rebook for next year
I've been staying there for several years now and it's perfect. The condo is very clean and fully equipped, including cable TV and internet. The pool is very nice also. It's in a great location, very close to Honeymoon Island State Park and near grocery stores and restaurants. Many local restaurants featured outside dining, which I really enjoyed. The woman who owns the condo is extremely nice. I hope to return next summer.
Enjoyed being close to some of our favorite places like fishing spots and parks. Also, it was a central location for visiting friends in St. Pete, Tampa, and Palm Harbor. Communication was easy, bed was comfortable, and villa and kitchen were well equipped.
Mary and Amanda are fantastic hosts and the condo was perfect for Al and me. Close to fishing on the Dunedin Causeway and to the beaches and walking in Honeymoon Island State Park. The Boathouse has everything we needed for our vacation! We are already planning our return in 2022!
Property was clean and had everything needed for an extended stay. Beach blankets, towels and chairs provided.
Great location and nice accommodations.
