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.

Place was really good. Rooms were as described in post. Loved that was on the beach! Plenty of space for a family of 5. Captain Al was responsive and quick to greet us. Overall amenities are good. Many places to eat around that are great. You can walk everywhere! Very safe and this side of town is quiet, which I loved!

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.

Not as advertised

Upon arrival no one knew what room we had, too at least half hour to find out. The propertwas no help, he was off to another area. Finally finding where we were to stay, the maintenance person showed us the room. Walk down a narrow walkway, up 2 flights of dirty stairs to the attic. Bare studs were painted, wall were slanted and bed tucked in the slant. Even the person showing it said he was ashamed to show us this place. We did not stay, we loaded back up and went home. Almost 600 dollars for one day and we couldn’t stay in such a place. This place is for college kids for a drunk weekend stay, or someplace to house homeless person, not for a family. It’s rundown and not well kept. Your description and photos of this place is definitely a misrepresentation. You should be ashamed of your company for not checking out places before you advertise them and expect a family to stay there. Your selfishness and just want to profit should be against the law. You profit and the customer losses. Again, we did not stay, we seen the room and walked out. We would like our money back, misrepresentation of this property is an understatement. Profit is all you care about as well as the property owners. You should be turned into a consumer agency. Yes, I did call your company and spoke with an agent as well as his supervisor. They were no help. You need to ask yourself why these people would leave after paying that much.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Capt. Al

Host profile image
Hello Travelers, and welcome to my Owners Story. It 's very long but in a nutshell, I am retired Doctor in Florida , licensed since 1976, and love the vacation rental business. Now living in Clearwater Beach, I enjoy swimming in the warm Gulf waters in summer, taking my guests out on my 21 foot runabout, enjoy the Salt Life of this cute little island, and the company of my like minded congenial neighbors. When you come to visit, my first mate, Karen and myself will show you how to loose yourself in the Clearwater Beach lifestyle.

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, loft for the price of a hotel room. No streets to cross, your at the beach, and can see the Gulf of Mexico with a 45 degree limited view from the window. 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 SURGCHARGE $300 thanks to the New Green Deal)
