Welcome To Your Dunedin Duo Guidebook
Consider this your digital welcome binder. We’ve gathered the arrival details, in-home tips, and local recommendations you’ll need to settle in quickly and make the most of your Gulf Coast getaway.
Arrival & Check-In
- Smart lock access: Your unique door code arrives via email and text 3 days before arrival (and again the morning of check-in). Codes activate at 4:00 PM and automatically expire at 10:00 AM on departure day.
- Parking: Each home includes dedicated driveway parking for up to 4 vehicles plus free street parking. Please avoid blocking sidewalks or neighboring drives.
- Wi-Fi: Network and password are posted on the kitchen counter and inside your pre-arrival email. Gig-speed service keeps remote work and streaming seamless.
- Climate & comfort: The homes cool quickly; feel free to adjust the smart thermostat, but please return settings to 74°F when you check out.
During Your Stay
- Direct host support: Text or call (727) 339-5750 for anything you need. We live locally and can assist with mid-stay cleans, maintenance, or special requests.
- Quiet hours: 10:00 PM–8:00 AM per city guidelines. Outdoor amenities (pool, fire features, pickleball court) are welcome to enjoy with mindful noise levels.
- Housekeeping: Starter supplies are stocked for the first few days. For longer stays, let us know if you’d like a refresh or grocery delivery; we’re happy to coordinate.
- Pool & spa: Heat is included when outdoor temps dip below 70°F. Please keep covers on when not in use to maintain temperature.
Local Favorites
- Beaches: Honeymoon Island State Park (10 min) for nature trails & shelling; Clearwater Beach (20 min) for lively waterfront fun; Caladesi Island Ferry for quieter sands.
- Dining: The Living Room on Main for tapas and live music, Lucky Lobster for fresh seafood, and Barrio Coastal Cantina for family-friendly tacos & frozen palomas.
- Cafés & treats: Dunedin Coffee Company, Strachan’s Ice Cream, and Kookie Krums for bakery goodies.
- Out & about: Ride the Pinellas Trail, tour the Dunedin Causeway by kayak or paddleboard, catch a Blue Jays spring training game, and explore the murals downtown.
Plan Ahead
- Airport runs: Tampa International (TPA) is 30 minutes; St. Pete–Clearwater (PIE) is 25 minutes. We can recommend trusted shuttle and car services.
- Stock the fridge: Need groceries waiting? Ask about our delivery partners or ship Instacart orders the morning of arrival.
- Gear & rentals: Baby equipment, beach cruisers, and golf carts can be reserved in advance—message us for vetted vendors.
