Wish it had some outdoor space to eat and relax
The cottage was fine, however a few things worth mentioning: Good- great number of outlets, comfortable bed, plenty of closet and bureau room, great shower, great location. Nice to have cleaning products and garbage bags under sink. Recommendation: Need more dinner plates, would have loved more outside space, sofa very uncomfortable.

Thank you for the review. Our little cottage sleeps 2 guests and our kitchen is set up with place setting for 4 guests. The front and backyard both have sitting areas to sit and enjoy the Florida sun.

Cozy and charming!
Location could not have been better. Just minutes from restaurants, bars, shops, and the marina in Dunedin, yet far enough out to be quiet and relaxing. We didn't need our car at all and just walked everywhere. Beautifully furnished, we loved it!

This cute little place is located right in the middle of everything! We were in town to visit some breweries and everything was in walking distance. We will book here again if we come back to Dunedin.

Amazing place to stay!!
We came down for a wedding and have never been to the area. Everything about the place was great! It was in such a convenient location to downtown but far enough away. It was super clean and a perfect size for the 2 of us. Erin was a great host and we would definitely stay at one of her properties again.

Beautiful, peaceful, cozy home near conveniently located
Thank you Erin for your hospitality and kindness. I love how you decorated the house and all the details you put into consideration. There was cold water inside the fridge, and a full kitchen with all necessary appliances. In the bathroom she had shampoo, conditioner, soap and more than enough towels. There’s also a washer and dryer to leave with your clothes clean. The water from the shower head felt amazing! The house was super cozy, peaceful, homey and beautiful. I didn’t want to leave. My husband and I fell in love with the house and the location. All kinds of restaurants nearby. We could walk everywhere and the neighborhood was safe and beautiful. The covers on the bed felt so good. We will definitely be back! We fell in love with the area and the cozy house. We felt like honeymooners. She constantly checked on us through message to see how we were doing and if there was something else she could do for us to make our stay more pleasant. Last but not least, we took our jetskis and it was so safe and convenient to bring them and park them all the way back from the street and it was so close to the water. Totally recommend!

Gorgeous Getaway!
We absolutely LOVED the Hideaway! It was so clean, fresh, beautiful, well-maintained, close to downtown, easy to access, cozy, and charming! Erin & Bill even included a filtered water pitcher, which we appreciated, in this FL heat! The space is gorgeous, has everything you need, and has such a "home away from home" feeling. Highly recommend!

My husband and I absolutely loved this little cottage! The linens were lovely. It was decorated so well and not cheaply done like many rentals. The place had everything we needed including an amazing high pressure shower. We were interested in booking a larger property of Erin's and she was kind enough to take time out of her day to give us a tour. We would definitely stay in any property that Erin has again! Great stay!

This is a small and quiet place, perfect for two, hidden behind a bigger house which you share the driveway with. The location is walkable to all of Dunedin’s best. If I had to critique anything, it could use a small cooler for day trips to the beach.

Cute hidden cottage
Cute one bedroom with a great location. We love to walk and ride our bikes, so we couldn’t have asked for a better location. We were disappointed that we couldn’t warm up leftovers in an oven or even a toaster oven ( only has a microwave). My biggest complaint was the tv system was for streaming. For others this would be fine, but was an issue for my championship football game. I just wish I would have known ahead of time. We had to go out and buy a cable. A nice touch was a board where people left suggestions for restaurants or drinks. We would definitely stay in this cute cottage again!

We wish you would have reached out about the tv. We could have walked you through using it to watch your football game. We always appreciate ideas on how to make our cottage better so we will look into a toaster oven as well. Thanks so much !

Cozy Modern Cottage
This guest cottage is within walking distance to Dunedin and is a quick drive to the lovely beaches on Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island. The cottage is very clean, well stocked and decorated with such attention to detail. We really appreciated Erin checking in on us after the first night to make sure we had everything we needed. It was also very quiet! We would definitely stay again1

Convenient, Clean, Cozy and great Communication
The Hideaway is in a practically perfect location -- to enjoy downtown Dunedin (5 min walk) or to venture out to beaches, restaurants, shopping in and around Dunedin. Erin was instantly available to answer questions (or to solve problems/issues, if we had any -- we didn't). The cottage is actually bigger than it looks in photos, plenty of room for two people, and was stocked with everything we needed for a three week stay. We're coming back!

The perfect spot
The spouse and I found ourselves time for a long weekend after business in Tampa. This cottage really hit the spot. Perfect for us to relax, see the local sights, beach day, and partake in some great dining. Everything from communication with host to needs were met. Walking to great restaurants, yet far enough away from what can be a busy little town. Would stay here over and over again.

If location is top of your list, this property is about 3 blocks from the main drag of downtown Dunedin. It appears to be a nicely renovated garage. Note there is no oven or dishwasher, but if you are planning to dine out this is not an issue. Good communication with the host.

The cottage is absolutely adorable. It feels like a home away from home and had everything I needed. Great location, walking distance from the charming downtown. The Hosts checked in with me the day of my arrival to let me know the cottage would be available earlier and to let me know they were available if I needed anything. I really enjoyed my stay and look forward to going back.

Fantastic cottage!
Highland Cottage was perfect for our 6 night stay in Dunedin! Erin & Bill are excellent hosts, and thought of everything when putting the cottage together! It was clean, perfectly organized and decorated. Really appreciated the wifi, the TV and streaming services. They’ve thought of everything. The walk into town (and/or the Pinellas Trail) was very easy and we loved the access. We heartily recommend the cottage for a couple (or single) person looking to visit the area, and look forward to seeing Erin & Bill again in the future!
