Property was clean inside and out. Location, location, location was everything. We walked everywhere we went. One block from beach access, 8 min walk to Pier 60, bars and restaurants located all around within 10 min walk. Waking up each morning and having coffee on the dock was peaceful and beautiful. We fished off the dock and caught quite a few fish. We also fished at Pier 60 and caught several fish. The host was quick to respond to my questions before we arrived. Had no issues while there. We used the charcoal grill and enjoyed relaxing in the patio area. Neighborhood was peaceful and we had no issues walking through it during the day or late night. Make sure you bring your groceries if you plan to cook, nearest grocery store 1.5 miles away. If your looking to party or dance a little check out Shepards tiki bar and grill and there night club which is also within walking distance. This location was quite but close enough to enjoy what Clearwater has to offer. Would definitely stay again. My husband and I stayed 4 night's and 5 days at this property and enjoyed every minute.

Excellent location, easily walk everywhere!

We had a relaxing and very enjoyable stay. Location was primo... we're able to park and walk everywhere we went. We sat waterside, got some sun, sat in the court yard and got some shade. Very peaceful place to crash while adventuring in Clearwater Beach!

Location!

The Location of this place is amazing! You can walk anywhere you want. Super close to the beach! We loved it! The place is clean. The place is nice. I would recommend staying there. Bring beach towels and anything else you might need for the beach! The bed seems a lot more like a double than a queen. We noticed a sign in the neighborhood that said, don’t drink the water, but we were not told that by the host. So, just be prepared for that.

The place was a cute place. Nice for 2 people. Would not want more than that in there. I don’t understand waterfront property because I expected to open windows and see waterfront. I saw from the living room the courtyard which was ok. Saw garbage cans lined under our bedroom window. Nice site to see. I went to hang clothes up in the nice big closet. Had 2 hangers for 2 people for 3 nights. Ended up taking bench from kitchen and placing it under the bedroom window and lived out of the suitcase. Gave the boyfriend the chest of drawers. Then we saw a sign 2 house towards the beach that said this community uses collected water. Do Not Drink the Water! Did it apply to this property we had no idea. We got bottled water. I guess I expected more. ( we use VBRO for most of our travels and I had my house up for short term rental with another company for 2 years so I guess I expected this place to be like these). Great location. We walked everywhere. Close enough to catch the trolley Took the trolley to Tarpon Sorings. I am trying to pick my words nicely because the place was a nice cottage . Didn’t cook because of water issue. Would we stay here again. No. Not what we expected or thought it was.

Somewhat disappointed

There were only 4 towels including the two made into animals on the bed when we arrived. There was info sheet that I could find on the property that I could find. Would have been nice to have more info on trash, towels, laundry and the area. Only had dark roast coffee. The couch was very uncomfortable. The unit AC and shower worked well and the bed was comfortable. The location was close to everything. Overall it was good.

Practically perfect in every way!

The location is perfect! It’s right in the midst of everything, but just far enough away to be out of the noise. We Ubered in from the airport and then had Walmart deliver some groceries. You definitely do not need a car. It’s just a short walk to the two best restaurants on the beach, Frenchies and Crabbys. We had a dolphin visit our bay, which was amazing, then the next day we were basically swimming with a pod of three manatee’s at the beach! A once in a lifetime moment. It’s about a five minute short walk to the restaurants and another minute from there to the beach. The property was perfectly appointed and clean, and classy. The bed was comfortable and so was the couch. We have no complaints and will easily choose this place again. :)

Peaceful and relaxing

The property was exactly as advertised. The location was within walking distance of places to eat, a huge store for shopping with a cut through to the beach, and live music. The outdoor space was nice. Seating on the dock was perfect. We saw dolphins every morning right after sunrise. There was extra seating in the courtyard and a grill if you wanted to use it. The inside space was clean and cozy. The location was perfect to get in a few extra walking steps each evening. The hosts also provided k-cups, creamer, beach towels, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and extra toilet paper. Would definitely booked again! Thank you for sharing your home.

About the host

Hosted by Mickey Moore

I grew up in Oklahoma(BOOMER SOONER!) and Li grew up in mainland China. We met as coworkers in Tampa in 2008 and the rest is history. We both got in to real estate in 2016 and then discovered the vacation rental industry. And we love it!

Our home base is about an hour from the beach. We enjoy our dogs, RV travel, and playing poker(Li is a semi-pro).

Why they chose this property

We always wanted a place near the beach so we jumped on this gem when the opportunity presented itself.

What makes this property unique

Back by the water is sooo relaxing! And the location is perfect for walking everywhere on the island.
