We had a great stay in your cozy cottage that is so close to everything! Your cottage is so neat, clean and quiet. We definitely will plan to come back again.
A perfect place to stay away from the crowd, but close to the action. One block off the walking and biking trail. Clean property, hardwood floors were beautiful.
Great stay. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Location couldn’t be any better for walking around, getting to the trail, and many restaurants nearby. Will be back! Thank you again :)
Jennifer, the host was first-class in her communications & her description of the Cottage. Nice quiet neighborhood, the perfect location for a real easy walk to the downtown activities and nice restaurants. The Cook Cottage, tucked away behind the main house was perfect for our short stay in Dunedin. We hope to return in the future.
The Cook Cottage is very conveniently located in downtown Dunedin. We loved walking to all the shops, restaurants, breweries, and up and down the Pinellas Trail. The overall property has bicycles available, which we appreciated. The cottage itself is charming and cozy, perfect for two people (and a dog). Jennifer was super-responsive when any small issues or questions arose.
My husband and I loved our stay here so much that we may consider one day retiring this wonderful coastal gulf town. We pick this cottage because it was within walking distance of the marina and boat ramp. The host allowed us to park our jet ski on the property and was very accommodating. We loved hanging out on the back porch in the evenings, walking in to town and enjoying the local breweries and restaurants. We also walked to the local fish market to get our catch of the day! It was the perfect getaway!
This was our first trip from the midwest to Florida during the winter in search of sun and warmth! Friends recommended Dunedin. It is a lovely small town (cute perhaps) and is not as congested as places south. Cook Cottage served us well. It is well appointed and really fits two adults well. The best part is the location. You can walk to town or the bay from there easily. We'd recommend this warmly.
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. We absolutely hand a wonderful time. Everything was so clean and organized and you guys really thought of everything a guest could possibly need for a beach vacation. Thank you for allowing our dog he had a great time at all the breweries around town and on Honeymoon Beach. My wife and I really enjoyed the golf cart and used it to go down to the park for sunset every night. We really wanted to try the bikes on the trail but it was just to hot this time. We will for sure be staying here again. Five Star Rating for sure from us. Thank you again for making our vacation one to remember.
Sincerely,
Andy & Jennifer

We loved this little cottage! Completely updated and fully stocked with everything and more you would need for your home-away-from-home. The owner was quick to answer any questions and we felt very comfortable during out stay. Everything you want or need is within walkig distance ie groceries (organic market), a multitude of restaurants, shops and boutiques. We loved that it was a quick 15 minutes to Clearwater Beach but even better was taking the ferry over to the beach which was lovely! We were 15 minutes from most places we wanted to visit but most of the time we spent just enjoying the town of Dunedin. The home is behind the main house; separate and private.. Parking was easy right in front of the home. We would love to return. I will add we took a tour of the main house which rents as a Bed and Breakfast style and is absolutely gorgeous.

Our stay in the cotrage was very enjoyable and comfortable. The location was perfect for being close to everything you need and fun things to do. Jennifer was a great host an always available.
Absolutely loved the cottage-very cute-loved the back porch. Private yard. great location-we were able to walk everywhere. Loved Dunedin too! We will definitely stay here again!
Walkable to everything, but the golf cart was an extra nice amenity too! We really enjoyed our stay here and Jennifer was a thoughtful and attentive host.
This cozy cottage was everything we hoped for and more. It was charming, quiet and extremely comfortable, close to all activities in Dunedin - the Pinellas trail, good restaurants, shops and more. We would definitely love to stay again the next time we visit.
