Clearwater, Dunedin & North Pinellas vacation rentals

North Pinellas is the mainland side of the coast, a string of older towns along St. Joseph Sound and Tampa Bay. Dunedin has a walkable downtown with Scottish roots and is the spring training home of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dunedin Causeway leads to Honeymoon Island State Park, and from there a passenger ferry crosses to Caladesi Island State Park, a barrier island with no road to it.

Farther north, Tarpon Springs grew up around Greek sponge divers, and the sponge docks on the Anclote River still have Greek bakeries and boat tours. Safety Harbor sits on Old Tampa Bay with a small main street and Philippe Park, and the Pinellas Trail runs through most of these towns on its way south to St. Petersburg. Rentals here are mostly homes in established neighborhoods, many on canals or near the water, a short drive from Clearwater Beach.
