Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Sunny - Key West Vibe Cottage - Pool - Walkable
My husband and I had a wonderful stay. Walkable to anything you would need! Fun little pool and seating area! Would definitely recommend if looking to stay in Dunedin! Thanks Antonia!

Hot tub, 2 floors riverfront, Bush Gardens, kajaks
Everything was perfect! Absolutely beautiful!

Downtown Luxe Comfort Cottage with Hot Tub!
The cottage was perfectly located in Safety Harbor, close to everything and had all the amenities to enjoy every experience the area has to offer.

Happy Camper Cottage | Cozy Oasis with Hot Tub
Anna was extremely helpful and accommodating for our last-minute trip with the kids. Her place was super cute and very clean and well kept and we would be happy to recommend it to friends and family or return ourselves. Thank you so much, Anna!

Family FUN~Pool, GameRoom+Bikes, Near Beach/Trail
Great stay for our family! The home is very clean and decorated with a beachy, fun vibe! Great bathroom, comfy beds and lots of places to hang out! The dryer was very helpful with wet towels and beach gear was great. Our favorite part of the home was the backyard. The plunge pool was so fun and we loved the game room and golf. Private yard and we enjoyed the birds over coffee each morning! Recommend for any family!

Hidden Oasis #1, hot tub near the beach
Ame is a wonderful host! This is the cutest little house, stocked with everything you might need for a stay in sunny Florida! Clean as a whistle, too. Location was perfect, groceries, the beach, pizza and shopping all close by.

Cottage - Pool - Free Parking - Walkable
The cottage was perfect for my stay. The area was clean and quiet. The common building was inviting with comfortable areas to relax and free coffee! I had a small issue with the lock and Antonia and her staff responded within seconds with a quick resolution. I could not be happier with my stay. You can’t go wrong staying here!!

Castle Keep Guest House
Tim and Jeannie are the best hosts ever! Communication and local recommendations are top notch! If you are like us, you’ll be on the go because Saint Petersburg offers so much with arts, culture and outdoor recreation that most of the time was being out and about. However, when you get back, you’ll feel like you’re at home and everything you need is right there! Sleep in and eat breakfast at the cottage, come back early and watch a movie or hit the hot tub or just do another load of laundry and hit the beach one more time! It’s so convenient and the best location ever! Thank you Tim and Jeannie :)

The Pelicans Roost / Gulfport
Excellent place to stay - had everything promised and was perfect for 3 people. Loved the backyard

Cozy Cottage Near Downtown + Waterfront
Michael’s Citrus Cottage was perfect for our 6 day stay in Dunedin! It had all the amenities we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower was one of the best I have seen in all the Airbnbs I have been to. The location is perfect also. Less than a 10 min walk to many restaurants, to 7 microbreweries, and many stores to satisfy your shopping itch. I would stay at Michel’s place again should we travel to Dunedin again.

Live Simply Cottage: Spacious 4-Bedroom Home!
We had a great stay at Sandy Feet VR! The house is clean, comfortable, and located in a lovely, walkable neighborhood—perfect for morning strolls or quick trips to nearby spots. It’s a great place to relax and unwind. The home is well-appointed, though it could be stocked a little better for longer stays—just a small consideration for future guests. That said, it’s a wonderful place overall, and we’d definitely stay again. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Artsy guest house; near downtown w/ private patio
We LOVED staying at Christopher’s. The apartment was exactly what we needed. The neighborhood is adorable and so close to downtown. Christopher was an absolute gem of a host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. So grateful! Would return.

BEACH COTTAGE II
The house was very nice, not huge, but very accurate with what the pictures showed, and it was actually a lot brighter inside than I expected based on the pictures. Everything was clean and with 5 people, there was plenty of space. They provided beach chairs and an umbrella which was wonderful. We also used the grill which we enjoyed having access to. The only thing we would recommend is more pots/pans/serving bowls, etc. for use in the kitchen - that was a little lacking. Otherwise, communication with the host was outstanding. We had a couple of minor issues that were resolved immediately. They let us check in early and stay late based on our schedule and the fact that no one was coming in behind us. Finally, the location is awesome - right across the street from the beach with easy beach access. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this house.

Alafia River Cottage
The Alafia River House did not disappoint. Check in was easy with helpful photos & directions. The neighborhood is pretty quiet but yet close to everything too. The house is tucked in right on the river, the yard is lush & Florida tropical, it is the perfect place to sit & read, eat a meal or take a nap. Watching the chickens and surrounding nature are an added bonus. The home is old with character, but so clean & refreshing. All the things you need and more are carefully stowed in antique furniture. Martha is easy to contact, but you shouldn’t need anything. The kitchen is up to date & has all of the extra things that you probably forgot to bring. My husband and I had a sweet trip & the Alafia River House was a gem. Thank you Martha.

Gulfport Art District - One Block From Beach!
This is probably our favorite Airbnb to date! The location is fantastic, on a street full of restaurants and bars, about a block from the beach. Yet, it was quiet! The place is very comfortable, with awesome and quirky decor, two bedrooms, and an air-conditioned, screened-in front porch, which was our dog’s favorite part! Great value!

Serene Waterfront Cottage with Tranquil Setting
This was the best Airbnb we have stayed at!!!! We travel alot for basketball and this was a favorite for all 9 of us. The house felt so cozy and decor was amazing. Krista was so generous and flexible with the check in/out times and process. The outside was so relaxing and peaceful, along with so much to do. We will be back!!!

Cottage by the Coast 2 bd - Pet Friendly
Our original plans to stay on Indian Rock Beach were changed due to last fall’s hurricanes. Luckily we found Jennifer’s place in Largo, only a short distance away from IRB. Her space is one of the nicest and most comfortable, we have stayed at in our many years spending part of our winters in Florida. The home was very clean and well appointed. The neighborhood is quiet and easily walkable. A County Park (Taylor) is very close, with nice trails, wildlife and a picturesque lake. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

Crystal Beach Yellow Cottage
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the cozy cottage. The location to Crystal Beach is great! We loved sitting on the screen porch. The house is just like the pictures. We had everything we needed to spend one month. Joni is a responsive host. We would be happy to stay again.

Beach Cottage- Pass a Grille- Steps to beach
Very responsive, went above and beyond!

Mango Cottage, pet friendly, steps to gulf
We had a wonderful relaxing stay. The home was as pictured and had a cozy welcoming feel. It had everything we needed, included lots of towels and linens, and extra toiletries for any forgotten items. We also enjoyed the morning show of bunnies and birds! A quiet neighborhood and we slept great in very comfortable beds. Thanks for a nice break!

Tampa-Retreat I Homestead with 5th Gen Floridians
We arrived at night days late due to flight cancellations from home weather. Ashley and Josh were very understanding and welcoming. They were responsive and kind throughout our stay. Their daughter showed our kids around the property and shared her toys, making everyone feel welcome. The back house was comfortable, clean, and well stocked. The area is beautiful and we felt very safe with our small children. We enjoyed walks to feed the cows, playing with the dogs, finding frogs, watching lizard play, listening to birds, dipping out feet in the pool, and collecting eggs from the chickens. The location was convenient for getting to many locations in and around Tampa.

Old Florida Paradise Secret Lair Cottage
We loved staying Dean’s Secret Lair! It was peaceful and had what we needed. Dean was very helpful with information and recommendations, and accommodating our requests. Would stay there again-highly recommend!

Elegant Crystal Beach cottage within sea glimpse
This super cute cottage is very clean with up-to-date appliances and beautifully decorated with well-thought-out use of space! We stayed for 10 weeks and slept soundly every night due to the comfortable mattress, peaceful & quiet safe neighborhood. The newer fixtures and large washer/dryer were so convenient. Communication with Mary Jane was fantastic. She’s very responsive to questions and even though she lives next door, never intrusive. She’s so gracious we’d be back in a heartbeat! 💗 Truly one of the best experiences we’ve had in the nearly decade of staying in Airbnbs. Location is a bonus as is very walkable to Bay/Beach or bicycle to the Pinellas Trail. This area has so much to offer with beaches, trails, restaurants, fairs, etc

The Cook Cottage sleeps 4 in Dunedin
I've stay here a few times and it's very consistent. Perfect walkable location and very clean and comfortable. Thank you.
