About this house rental

Five generation family home now available for short-term rentals. Superb location-two or three blocks to the water, downtown restaurants and shopping, baseball stadium, parks, marina, playground, the Pinellas bike trail, and .6 miles from the Fenway. The house faces south to bask in the sun on the prettiest street in Dunedin, quiet and green with huge old trees dripping with Spanish moss. Upstairs is the airy master bedroom with a super comfortable king bed and an ensuite bathroom that overlooks the trees. Also upstairs, a second large bedroom has a king, a double and a twin bed, and a hall bathroom. The downstairs queen bedroom opens into the office and has a hall bath. There is an airy living room, separate dining room, a beautiful sunny kitchen, a front screened porch and an open, unshaded front porch for the winter days when the full sun feels delicious. Full of historic charm and original details, while freshly updated with modern conveniences.

We had a wonderful time in Dunedin and this home was the perfect place to kick off our fun. It was not even a block away from where we could pick up the free ride car and rent bikes to explore more. Loved reading about the family who own the home.

Perfect location to enjoy all that Downtown Dunedin has to offer. We were in Dunedin to attend a wedding. We were able to walk to all the activities associated with the wedding. I would definitely stay here again. The house had plenty of room for all four of us with the three large bedrooms. It is a very interesting home as well with all the history displayed in it. The neighborhood is beautiful and very quiet for being one block away from downtown.

Great location, 2-3 blocks to all restaurants, shops, fair grounds, and water. Older home with upgrades. Clean, relaxing and comfortable describes this location. Sitting on the screened front porch at night was enjoyable and perfect after a busy day. An enormous amount of cooking, eating, food prep appliances and dishes/glasses available. Lots of personnel effects left behind from owners which was different but also inviting.

It's a great rental! Loved the location and the screened porch and the kitchen and pretty much everything except the televisions. We were two 82 year olds with minimal tech savy regarding televisions and television service providers. We could not get the tv in the living room to turn on and reached out to the host who promptly responded but could do nothing to help. We had better luck with the tv in the first floor bedroom, however, it appeared we needed to subscribe to some type of streaming service to get programs we really wanted to watch -- such as the Super Bowl on CBS. We found ourselves frustrated -- likely due to our ineptitudes. It would have been nice to have been told about the tvs in advance and to have some printed guidance in the rental for each tv.

We had such a wonderful time renting this house. It was absolutely perfect and was fully stocked! We felt like we were at home. It’s super close to shops and dining; definitely walking distance. We will absolutely rent again. My husbands family is in Clearwater and it’s much easier for us to rent a home vs renting hotel rooms (and even cheaper most of the time). The hosts went out of their way to be in contact with us about check in, check out, and anything else we needed. I’d give more stars if I could.

Thoughtful extras included like towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler for the beach. Would give 5 stars except the upstairs AC went out our last night. Will stay again.

The home was beautifully maintained and quiet. Rooms were spacious and had a strong, enjoyable sense of the home's history. Waverley responded quickly to inquiries and was very helpful. Looking forward to staying there again in the future. Thank you.

Absolutely precious vintage home within walking distance of shops, great restaurants, the waterfront, docks, bike trail, weekend craft shows, etc. With 3 baths, it was very comfortable for 3 couples. Perfect for families or a girls trip! Did I mention the short walk to great restaurants!?! The large kitchen is well equipped if you want to prepare meals. There's a dining room and living area with TV, but the majority of our time at the house was spent on the screened front porch. If you appreciate the quirks of a well loved older house vs the shiny and new, I highly recommend Waverly's charming home.

This is the second year that we have rented this beautiful historic home - we call it the Mansion. I live in Dunedin and when my friends visit, we rent this home as an extension to my residence. Initially, it was simply convienient for the additional space close to my home and downtown to accommodate guests. But now it has become a focal point and everyone enjoys game night and dinner at the mansion! It is beautifully furnished yet very cozy! You feel like you have stepped back to a simpler time in the "Old Florida".

We stayed at this lovely Dunedin home for s surprise 90th birthday party for family in the area. The house was perfect! Every amenity you could want was provided, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the beds were so comfortable. It was also immaculate. The location is perfect---just a short walk to downtown as well as to the waterfront and marina. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful stay at Waverly's house in Dunedin. We were down to visit family over the holidays. Waverly's house allowed all of us to stay comfortably. We took many walks into delightful downtown Dunedin and enjoyed pleasant times just sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. The house was well stocked and very clean. While we didn't get around to using the bicycles, we did use the barbecue grill for several dinners at "home". Waverly - though we never met - is a thoughtful accommodating hostess and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Thanks, Waverly.
