The location was great. Right on the beach and Just a 10 min walk to the shops and restaurants and only 20 min walk to the pier. If you don’t need a kitchen the cottage was perfect with 2 rooms and 4 beds and communication was great Captain Al was always quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break

The stay was a great time. The location and neighborhood was excellent. It was a one minute walk from the beach. However, it was just very small and hard to move around.

Great location to beach but not truly pet friendly

This is conveniently located right by the beach, just a short walk and you’re there. We loved the location! However, there is a $100 pet fee (which I understand having pet fees) for a property that doesn’t give your pets a place to relieve themselves. There is no grass anywhere on the property. This posed to be a major inconvenience. Also, the ceiling is slanted on both sides… so watch your head at all times. Overall, good property and great location.

Weekend

The old Florida cottage was old Florida. It was clean with history and very friendly property management. I grew up in this area and this is what vacation was before all the resorts cluttered the beach. I mis booked our cottage and the manager met me and fixed it without argument. Close to the beach and far enough from south beach that you had some peaceful time off. Would definitely go back and have already recommended to several friends and family.

Great rental space for a last minute trip to Clearwater. Had everything needed and space for everyone to sleep. Good location to the beach and just over a half mile walk to the pier. Nice to have access to chairs, beach toys, hot tub, and bikes.

Exactly as advertised

The place was very clean and exactly as advertised. Definitely not for really tall people. But if you are looking for a reasonably priced, well located, comfortable and clean, slightly quirky place, then this is the spot for you. Owner was very responsive and provided everything we needed. I would stay there again.

Nice long weekend

We had a nice stay at Capt Als. The loft has some character but fit our needs and is literally steps from the beach. If you’re an early one to bed it may not be for you as the bar across the street tends to be loud into the early morning hours.

Cute and Quaint

Super cute almost like a doll house. Awesome location. Clean,no bugs. Not recommended for tall people at all. We not super tall but I’m 5 8 and my husband and boys are 5 9 and 6 foot. We did keep hitting our heads on the ceiling because of the slant. I didn’t give it 5 stars because one it says sleeps 6 I don’t think if we had 6 people we would all fit and we almost did.And it’s pet friendly which was why we chose it there is nowhere to walk the dogs. No grass you literally have to go across the street and it’s scary at night by yourself. My suggestion is that they make a designated spot for dogs. Besides that it’s cute and quaint for shorter people, but we did enjoy our stay!!!

About the host

Hosted by Capt. Al

Host profile image
Hello Travelers, and welcome to my Owners Info.l Originally from New Jersey I have always loved the Jersey Shore. The Cottages are the very last beachside Mom and Pop with 1925 Beach Cottages. Here we enjoy swimming in warm calm water, enjoy fresh seafood off the boat and socialize with our congenial minded beach lover neighbors. As a scuba diver I have been to most Carribean Islands, have hiked through most South American countries, and have Jet Skied most all waterways in Florida. Now I enjoy taking my guests out on my run about boat and enjoying the beauty of the islands off the coast of Clearwater Beach. Hope to show you how to loose yourself in the Clearwater Beach Lifestyle, Capt Al

Why they chose this property

This area called Clearwater Cottages are the very last few streets left on the beach side of the island with cottages, vacation rentals from the 1920 s - 1950 s with that Old Florida feeling, while South Beach all the cottages and older homes were torn down for the new expensive ritzy motels. This loft is a new renovation in a 1948 building, cool, cozy, and affordable .

What makes this property unique

Enjoy a private, cozy,2 bedroom loft for the price of a hotel room. No streets to cross, your at the beach, Open the door and get the Gulf Breeze. You have all the amenities of Clearwater Cottage, at no additional cost, which includes wood party deck, Key West style backyard at the beach, Weber BBQ grill, use of Capt. Al's , beach chairs, beach toy, and boat excursion in summer when available. Gas surcharge is $250 half tank
