I feel the description was deceptive, yes there is a hot tub but have to reserve ahead of time and only available very limited hours each day, had to pay to park as a spot wasn’t available, shower in the middle of the main room with just a curtain around it, no lighting in shower, no privacy, ceilings low even my grandsons bumped there heads. It will do if you are just there to sleep but there are much better places to stay

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!

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.

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.

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 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
