We have the best cleaner on the beach, just read our reviews. During COVID: She is spending extra time disinfecting and sanitizing. There is hand sanitizer inside the condo for your use.
From the moment you walk into this home, you will be mesmerized by the view. You don't get any closer to the beach than this. Our two bedroom/two bath condo has been remodeled from floor to ceiling including all new stainless steel appliances and furniture. The living room has two leather love seats, a huge 50inch television ready for your netflix account, and the best view in the house--13ft sliding glass doors to the balcony where you can watch the dolphins playfully swim by and gorgeous sunsets every night. The kitchen is fully equipped to make a meal for 2 or the whole family. The dining area has seating for 6. There is a full size washer and dryer. The Master Bedroom has a king size bed and sliding door to the balcony so you can wake every morning to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico or fall asleep at night to the light of the full moon glistening off the water. The Master Bathroom has an over-size walk in shower and two sinks. The second bedroom has 3 beds: 1 full size bed and twin bunk beds. We provide beach chairs and beach towels for you to use. There is also a pac-n-play and high chair.

We truly enjoyed staying here. Check-in was a breeze. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and then some. Wifi access was superb and our son was able to connect his Xbox without any issues. We plan to stay here again.
This condo was exactly as described and so perfect for our stay! It was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed for the week! Would absolutely stay here again!Very responsive hosts.
We loved this location: a very clean well-kept condo in a small complex right on uncrowded North Clearwater Beach with easy walking distance to the rest of Clearwater Beach and all of the action.
The property was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a family vacation. My parents came down with my son and I for a spring break and double digit birthday celebration. The balcony was a favorite for all of us from morning coffee, midday reading, to breath taking sunsets. Robin was extremely responsive to all questions and provided everything we needed to enjoy the beach. Highly recommend this property and would definitely book again in the future.
It was a blast staying there. The kids loved playing uno on the deck listening to the waves and waking up early to go swimming. Its the perfect location.
This is a fantastic property, well equipped and taken care of. The property is right on the beach with excellent security. I have stayed here before and will definitely be back
Definitely would stay here again! From the moment we stepped into the condo we felt relaxed. Robin and George had everything we possibly needed for our stay. The condo was immaculate and you can’t have a better beach view from their unit and
seeing the dolphins everyday was just amazing!
Everything was absolutely amazing and beyond what we expected! Robin was so wonderful! Always very helpful, accommodating and understanding. We can't wait to make more memories there for years to come and already planning our next stay.
The condo was in pristine condition when we got there - clean and well cared for. It was easy to find, had a well lit parking area and entrance, and was always very quiet. The sunsets from the balcony were awesome! Thank-you, Robin and George for sharing your vacation home with us.
Perfect location. The condo was secure, clean, comfortable, and very nice. Beautiful sunsets. Close to shops and restaurants. Amazing!!! Best Florida stay ever. Thank you!!!!
Very Clean. Condo was even nicer than the pictures on VRBO. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything that we needed. You will love this place if you want a peaceful and quiet beach vacation. Many bars / restaurants / shopping are only a 10-15 minute walk. Would definitely stay here again. Having our own designated parking spot was also very helpful.
Wow. This place was fantastic! I could sit in the condo and hear the waves and seagulls. You can step right out from the property into the white powdery sand. There were seashells galore along with viewing of dolphins, jelly fish, and other oceanic animals. Highly recommend this location for anyone wanting the quietness of the beach but yet having the nightlife within a walk away.
Our family of five (older kids 22, 19 and 16) enjoyed our after Christmas week stay in the Colony Surf unit. Views of the beach were beautiful from the second floor. Unit was very clean and well equipped. The unit is about a 5-10 block walk to restaurants, shops and the pier. I would definitely recommend. This end of the beach is very quiet.
This is our second time staying at this property. The location is amazing directly onto the beach looking out to the ocean. We watched the sunset every night from the balcony and walked along the beach every morning. Quieter side of Pier 60, only a short walk away from shops/restaurants.
The property is well equipped, has a washing machine and dryer, and extra bedding, pillows and towels.
The property owners are extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries.
We won't hesitate to book this property again in the future.

Heaven on earth
We are Clearwater-Fans since 1990 and this was our best place to stay ever. In this Condo it is as if you are staying right on the beach. Beautiful sunsets every day and the best living-room-view possible on Clearwater-Beach. The condo itself has everything in it, to feel home and comfortable. We will be back as soon as possible (overseas flights :o( )
First and foremost, this was the cleanest condo/rental I have ever stayed in! All of the amenities were as described, the location was great- in walking distance to restaurants, shops, and attractions but far enough north to be out of the more crowded areas. Owners were very responsive to all questions. Check in instructions were very detailed and easy to follow. They had a binder full of information that was very thorough. Would highly recommend this rental to anyone!

About the host
Hosted by Robin and George Kruse
We originate from Illinois. We are semi-retired and bought a 'winter' home in Central Florida a few years ago. On one of our winters here we started 'beach hopping' to find the best of Florida's many beaches. We instantly fell in love with the Clearwater Beach area and bought a condo. We plan to fully retire to Clearwater Beach soon.
Why they chose this property
Clearwater Beach has so many activities for every age group. Colony Surf is located on the quieter North end of the beach. But it is still within walking distance to all of the tourist hot spots including Pier 60. You can check out the many restaurants and shops on your stroll down to the Beach Walk and Marina where you can charter a fishing boat, take a sightseeing cruise, rent jet skis and bicycles, or take a Segway Tour. What better way to get familiar with all that the area has to offer.
