The photos of this property do not do it justice. Every room has a water view. We hosted a family reunion/Thanksgiving week at the property and had a total blast.
While probably not suitable for smaller children, we had a few ranging from 10-13. For both the children and adults, between daily swimming in the pool/jacuzzi, playing pool, ping pong, hide-and-seek, and walking the short distance (1 block) to downtown Dunedin's park, marina, breweries, coffee houses, restaurants and shops, we were all happily, thoroughly exhausted at the end of each day. Even though Clearwater is about 10 minutes away, we only went there one time.
Every single bedroom has it's own en-suite bathroom (with the exception of the "8th" bedroom which probably an office, but set up as a bedroom if you need it) and all but one room has a balcony. Two of the bedrooms are located in a suite with a separate combined kitchenette (w/full-sized fridge)/living room.
The kitchen is well appointed and the home also boasts a great movie room with electric reclining chairs that seats 6 (note: you'll need your own laptop or AppleTV to watch movies in that particular room). The glass sliding doors open all the way, allowing the ocean breezes in. My father is unable to traverse stairs but thankfully there is an elevator that covers all floors, including the huge rooftop deck where you can watch the sunset.
Some things to be aware of:
- Bring your own soaps and shampoos (or buy them when you arrive), but there are plenty of towels and hair dryers in each room/bathroom and a good supply of laundry and dish-washing soaps/pods.
- Two beds are King, the others are Queens, but they were all reported to be comfortable (unless you like extra-firm beds).
- Although the neighboring building is far enough away, the noise carries from this property to theirs (not so much the other direction) when the kitchen slider doors are fully open.The neighbors called us only once from their deck and politely asked if we could close the doors, which we did.
- Depending on what time of year you're there, I highly recommend paying the additional cost to have the pool heated - you will not regret it! We literally spent at least 6 hours each day in the pool/jacuzzi
Last but not least - Diana was awesome. She's very responsive, easy to work with, and very nice! We'll definitely be back.
