Almost two weeks before the reserved dates, 11 days actually, the trip was canceled. The hotel was notified immediately that day and asked to refund the full amount. The reaction was hostile and negative saying some gibberish about a refundable rate and a non-refundable rate. After the manager refused any refund to my credit card, I asked the the credit card company to investigate and after doing so it credited the full amount back to my card. I then posted a negative review of my experience after which the manager called me threatening a $50,000 lawsuit. I suggest before reserving a room at this place that you read all the reviews. Some are disturbing. Under no circumstance will I ever give this place a second chance and suggest you beware.

Dodt house at that time was comprised of 1 room accommodations with a private bathroom and some offered a heart shaped whirlpool. In keeping with the times, the owners have retired, and the HH complex has been renovated and reconfigured with the main house now being closed to the public and the Dodt house has been remodeled to accommodate larger groups (it is now a 6 bedroom and direct Gulf Front rental - from https://annamariaisland.com/harrington-house-accommodations). I have fabulous memories of this place! It's steps from the beach, and the room costs included a delicious, filling, homemade breakfast every morning (at that time in the spacious dining room of the main house), parking, kayaks, bicycles, beach chairs, towels, snacks/cookies, and at least one swimming pool. I was really impressed with all the amenities included in the room fee!!!! The proprietors and staff were so friendly and helpful embodying the motto "Come as a Guest, Leave as a Friend!" I smacked my finger while kayaking and it would not stop hurting and the staff were very helpful in getting us to a doctor, and of course, I broke my finger (totally my fault, Momma didn't name me Grace!) who x-rayed it, bandaged it up, and I was all set after that! Amelia island is a lovely, quiet, beautiful 7-mile island and so easy to bike and very bike friendly at that time! I really enjoyed biking the island, and ocean kayaking to a nearby restaurant - I think it was The Beach Bistro, or the Oyster Bar on the pier. It was so fun to "park" the kayaks and walk up to the beach front dining! A far cry from my landlocked hometown of Huntsville, AL. Holmes Beach/Amelia Island is my favorite FL destination and I'm happy, although reconfigured, Harrington House still offers a variety of vacation rentals.

Not that we didn't think of going often, but the stars jut didn't line up for a while. Well finally we were able to go. Megan welcomed us with open arms. It felt so good to be back. If you are ever looking for a true relaxing getaway, Harrington House is your place. Each room is unique and cozy. Some rooms overlook the gulf and you can see the sunset from your room. Some rooms have a balcony. Or you can choose to stay in one of the bungalows. There you have a full kitchen, and a bit more privacy. No matter if you are in the main house, the carriage house, the cottage or a bungalow you will be treated like you are family. The breakfasts that are served are not to be missed. Each day is different, but there us always some sort of home made baked bread. Afternoons you can often enjoy home made chocolate chip cookies. Jo and Frank and their son Mark are the Inn's owners. Along with Ann, Megan and Jeanette, they all do all they can to make your visit the best that it can possibly be. The white sugary beach is just out side your door. There are rarely more than a dozen people at the beach at any one time. It is so peaceful and relaxing. Anna Maria Island is a true gem and Harrington house is the crown jewel. Thank you to all of you for creating such a paradise. Can't wait to see you again soon.

First Impressions of the Hotel…read more I've just arrived at the hotel for a business trip, and I must say the first impressions are mostly positive. The hotel has a charming exterior and an interior with a vintage vibe, but in a good way. It's got character. Upon arrival, the receptionist was friendly and helpful, which always makes a great first impression. The parking situation was a bit tricky, though. There is limited parking on-site, but they do have an overflow lot not far away, which is convenient, but still something to keep in mind. The room itself is spacious and adequate. It includes a nice balcony, a TV, and a desk for work. However, there was no refrigerator, which I found a bit inconvenient. Also, there was a slight odd smell in the room, but it wasn't overpowering or unpleasant--just a bit of an odd first impression. One of the highlights of the stay is the complimentary breakfast, which is always a nice touch. But I do have to mention a one thing. There was a small bench at the foot of the bed that I didn't notice was possibly damaged. When I sat down, I unexpectedly sank into it, which was a bit of a surprise. All in all, the hotel meets my needs for this trip. It's got some character and charm, but there are a few areas that could use some improvement.

My husband and I went for a quick honeymoon getaway, just 2 nights of our Florida trip because our room was booked over the weekend. There was plenty of parking in front of the hotel which was perfect because we didn't need our car in Dunedin. Check-in was seamless and the communication with the front desk was excellent. We stayed in the Zen Suite which has a patio facing the street. There is a lovely wine bar with live music across the street. Both nights we sat outside and enjoyed the music but do visit Stirling Wine (I reviewed them as well, great crowd). The Zen Suite is so comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. Anything you need is already in the room including dishes, flatware, refrigerator, iron, blow dryer and robes. It was easy to relax. The king bed was very comfortable. We found everything in the room easy to operate - TV, AC, door locks. We also enjoyed the pool area. The pool wasn't heated so it was too cold for me but my husband enjoyed it. I relaxed on a lounge chair with an umbrella. We also took advantage of the breakfast promo with the red next door which was very convenient. Overall 10/10 doesn't cut it. We cannot wait to visit again and will stay at least 3 nights!

The pool is a great place to sunbathe, cool off and meet people, although it's not uncommon to have the pool to yourselves. The rooms each have their unique charm and are quite comfortable. Plenty of shower pressure and hot water in the bathrooms. The entire place is clean and outstanding from a decore perspective. The owners are very prompt in their communications. On top of all this you are essentially in the middle of downtown Dunedin with plenty of bars, restaurants and stores within walking distance. Even though we just had a three day stay, I'm already looking to book another stay here!!

The people that work here are friendly and nice, ready to accommodate almost anything. Our favorite bungalow #102, is perfect with only one draw back.

In our mid-70's the current tub is a problem for us to get in & out of. We still love this resort & especially this particular bungalow. We're coming back soon!

The hotel provides everything you need for a relaxing day at the beach, chairs, towels and umbrellas. Our room was spotless and had a fully kitchen equipped with everything we needed to prepare a meal, coffee and teas as well. We also had table and chairs on our veranda. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly. Bikes are available if you are inclined. The Inn provides 5 star accommodations with a more intimate feel. I definitely recommend if you are thinking of staying in Pass A Grill.

They do not do their job and when Airbnb renters go to the property they have to clean and do repairs themselves. Kruz rentals then lies and says nasty things on their review about the renters to save themselves from looking bad and not doing their job. We paid for a clean and ready property but instead we had to spend time to clean appliances/grills/ floors/ change batteries/ thermostats/front door lock etc. We were also in touch with the actual owner of the property so she knew everything and was so very nice and she must have mentioned to Kruz rentals and she left us a bad review even though we did their job of maintaining the property. Kruz rentals most likely uses peoples airbnbs for their own use and friends because owner is in another state. Terrible unreliable and untrustworthy company! Stay away.

She was very helpful showing us around the house, and pointing us out to where everything was.  We had breakfast and snack items galore to make our perfect customized breakfasts at our convenience. We felt very comfortable immediately. We loved every thing including the decor, how clean it was. Our bed mattress and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was huge and had a very nice Jacuzzi. The living room, dining room, and kitchen had everything we needed and more. This home felt like paradise to us.  Our favorite place in this home was the lanai and pool.  It was just so beautiful beyond words. We loved going for a swim at night. The water was perfect. It was so relaxing, and it was an all-around spa-like feel.  We are definitely planning our next visit to Royal Bed and Breakfast. I would rather keep it a secret just for us, but I would rather not, so everyone can share the happiness and relaxation that we felt. Englewood Beach, Placida, and Boca Grande which are all beautiful beach towns are all about 15-20 minutes away. It's a great location!  We appreciate Liane very much! P.S. Mocha Coconut, our sweet, spoiled shih Tzu pup loved it as well!
