About this property

Pickets Cottage is a quaint and comfortable 2 bed, 1 bath located just 2 blocks from the heart of Downtown Dunedin. If you enjoy beaches, baseball, biking, breweries and boutiques then you'll LOVE Dunedin! Here's a guest review that really says it all....

"Even though the photos on the web site adequately reflect the cottage, it becomes more amazing once you step inside. The cozy, homey atmosphere wraps around you. It is clean and uncluttered. It is well stocked with the basics upon your arrival....The location of the cottage is just as perfect as the cottage. It is located a half a block from Pinellas trail (a 38 mile walking and bike path) It is located a block and half from downtown Dunedin where you can experience a variety of art fairs and farmers markets as well as restaurants, bars and gift shops. The Toronto Blue Jays stadium is just a few blocks in the opposite direction. Dunedin is a very alive community...Even though downtown area is so near, the cottage is located on a fairly quiet street. I felt very safe in the area as well as in the cottage. I would certainly return as well as highly recommended it to my friends".

Dunedin Cottage Stay

What a wonderful stay I had at this property! Big enough to be comfortable, yet small enough to feel like home. Everything you need was provided. Location was the best! Just a couple of blocks to almost anything you could want or need. I miss my walks already, sigh. If you are looking for a carefree, comfortable place in a great location, this is the cottage for you. Enjoy!!!

Absolutely Charming

Pickets Cottage is the perfect place for enjoying all Dunedin has to offer. Turn left from the front gate, and you're 2 blocks from the restaurants and shops, or 1 block from the Pinellas Trail. Turn right, and you're in a lovely vintage neighborhood with brick streets and stunning live oaks. The house had all we needed for a comfortable month-long stay, lots of storage and beautifully decorated with casual charm. The fenced front yard is perfect for hanging out with the dog and visiting with passers by. Sophie is a wonderful host and very responsive to any inquiries. We've been visiting Dunedin for 12 years or so, and the cottage is the best place we've stayed by far. Can't wait to come back!

A perfect home in a perfect location!

If I could give this more stars in every category, I would! We are already planning to stay here next year. You could not ask for more! From the minute you open the door, you feel like you're at home. It's beautifully decorated and so comfortable. Spotless, too! Loved the outdoor living space (4 chairs around the firepit) out back, and the two chairs in front of the house (where my husband and our dog sat every day for lunch and people-watching). Have the fenced-in front yard was great! The street where this house is located is quiet and filled with lovely houses (and lovely people; we met and talked to many during our two-week stay). It's just a few blocks from the heart of beautiful Dunedin -- the site of art shows, farmers' markets, charming shops and restaurants, and the marina (where we saw manatees!) And to top it off, the owner was super-responsive (as far as a few questions we had) and proactive (sending us recommendations and ideas). In short, this is a perfect 10, as far as we're concerned!

Beautiful property with a great location!

We loved Palms Cottage! The house was beautiful and on a very nice and quaint neighborhood street. We loved the fun beachy wallpaper in the bedrooms, and the entire property was modern and super clean. The location was perfect for quick walks (2 short blocks!) to downtown Dunedin with its cute cafes and shops, and to the marina. The washer and dryer were so convenient to have, and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. We had easy and quick communication with the owner, who was very kind and helpful. Honeymoon Island and Caladesi were wonderful and about 10 minutes away. We also rented bikes and rode on the Pinellas Trail, which is close by. We would 100% stay here again, and hope to!

A Wonderful Escape!!

Our recent stay at this charming cottage in Dunedin, Florida was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and tranquility of this hidden gem. This picturesque coastal town, combined with the exceptional hospitality, made for a truly memorable and relaxing vacation. The decor was tastefully done, immaculately clean, and every detail had been thoughtfully attended to, creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Sophie was friendly, attentive, and always available to assist with any inquiries or requests we had. Her genuine warmth and dedication to customer satisfaction truly made us feel valued as guests. The cottage itself was equipped with all the conveniences we needed. The well-appointed kitchen allowed us to prepare light meals, and the cozy living area was perfect for relaxation after a day at the beaches. The comfortable and clean beds ensured a restful night's sleep. Our stay exceeded all our expectations. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or simply a tranquil retreat, I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting Dunedin or Clearwater Beach. I am already eagerly looking forward to my next visit!

About the host

Hosted by Sophie Basford

Hi! Thanks for visiting Pickets Cottage in Delightful Dunedin, part of Pickets & Palms Vacation Rentals. Pickets Cottage is one of 2 rental cottages (check out Palms Cottage property ID 3099948) located at the same address in Downtown Dunedin. The cottages may share the same driveway but otherwise they are private from one another.

Why Dunedin? Originally from the UK, my husband and I visited much of Florida before choosing to call Dunedin home. During our decade of living in the town we particularly enjoyed its friendly, hospitable people and the many fun activities to enjoy both in downtown and on the water. Combine this with the easy driving distances to Clearwater Beach, St Petersburg and Tampa and its no surprise why Dunedin is such a well-loved town and an increasingly popular destination for travelers looking for that village feel on the water.

As Owner and host, I will be your main point of contact throughout your stay (available day or night by phone/text) with a ready, willing and able on-the-ground team available to assist you locally if the need arises. Be assured we will do our utmost to cater to your needs and ensure your stay is a happy one.

Look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

Location! Steps away from the heart of Main St, the Pinellas Trail. Short walk to Dunedin Marina and Edgewater Park. A quiet cottage but close to all the delights of Downtown.
