We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and downtown. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing.The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a few meals, and the living room was cozy and great for relaxing after a long day in the sun. We especially loved sitting outside on the deck. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful beach vacation!
Loved the egret cottage!! Very nice and cozy. Within waking distance to some great restaurants/bars! Not even a block from the beach. Can see the water from our balcony! Would definitively stay here again.

Karen was a great guest! She took fantastic care of our cottage and we would welcome her back anytime!
Positives: host communication within minutes; kitchen spotless ; bed comfortable; loved the rooftop deck; free parking; beautiful beach. I cleaned lots of dust on bedroom lamps plus pet hair in living area.
The host was very welcoming and helpful prior to and during our stay. The location of the cottage is great. We were just steps away from the beach. We chose this location since it was dog friendly and North Clearwater Beach allows dogs on the beach. The cottage was very comfortable and felt very homey. The deck with gas fire pit was a welcome surprise. My wife and I play pickleball and there are 6 new outdoor courts just 2 blocks away. We played most every day. Having Frenchy’s Hideaway and Palm Pavilion just 2 blocks away was the icing on the top. We will return!
My family throughly enjoyed our stay. Location can't be beat as it's literally steps to the white sands of Clearwater Beach. Would certainly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in this area of Clearwater.
Loved the Upstairs unit with Fully equipped kitchen, clean, comfortable bed. Very spacious for a one bedroom for me and my husband.:).they have thought of everything here :) I love the private deck walking to restaurant and bars and convenience store:) . Obviously would rent here again since we have stayed here two times within 6 months:)
Great location and amenities! The place was cozy and the short walk to the beach was amazing. The bed was a little stiff and was a little warm being on the upper floor of the house but still a great stay overall!
Loved the cottage. We had the ebat 10 year wedding anniversary! So many places and shops to walk to, and the beach is right there! Definitely will be back!
The cottage was very quiet peachful and well located. The property provides all the needs of someone on vacation, fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, and board games. You walk outside and the beach is right there. A great small pizza place right across the street. A short 10 minute walk to local restaurants and bars. We loved staying there and will be coming back.
Absolutely perfect!!!! Everything was exactly as stated. So close to everything!! Safe neighborhood . Fit our family of four perfectly. Jenn was fantastic to work with and easy to communicate with.
Our visit at Egret Cottage on Clearwater went so well! Cottage had everything we needed - comfortable and convenient with easy walk to beach and short walk or ride to great restaurants and shopping. Kitchen was well equipped. Living room area, bedroom and bathroom were perfectly setup for the beach. Our pet was welcome and loved the beach. We hope to return in the future for another very enjoyable visit!

Beverly,
Thanks again for taking such great care of our cottage and we’re so glad that you enjoyed your stay! We can’t wait to have you back!
The kitchen is beautiful and offered everything we have in our own home. Providing so many things that duplicate what we all have in a home was comforting. We loved everything about the fully stocked kitchen with any appliance you would need. And, we had a view from the kitchen window that allowed us to see what the Gulf was doing each day. This place satisfied my husband and me and our 'Chester', small dog, very much. The decor, linens, amenities, convenience of location, and owner's desire to make everything well with the customer was much appreciated. No one should second guess staying here, whether you are alone, a couple, with kids, and a good pet. Everything provided. Enjoy by booking it! Super easy walk to an absolute beautiful beach - even the dog beach is just as beautiful. Chester made 2 good friends! Dogs rule!
We had a wonderful week in this cute, comfortable, well equipped cottage. Beautiful beach and great places to eat and drink are a quick walk away. Easy to book with an attentive host. We hope to return soon!
Accurate listing Very pretty place with beautiful view from kitchen window Very clean and stocked it with everything we needed and moreWalk to restaurants and shops and steps to the sand and oceanAlready booked for another trip here for later this year🥰 Owner and property manager are very nice and accessible If needed
This was our 2nd time staying at the Egret cottage and we had a lovely stay. House is just as it’s pictured. Clean and comfortable. The location is great. Close to the beach yet away from the crowds.
Place was well furnished and looked just like pictures online. Small issue with sink but handled quickly the next morning. Location perfect with short walk to beautiful beach.
The property manager was very helpful. She answered several of our questions during the process of planning our trip. She was also in touch with us personally several times during our stay to discuss certain issues. Great to work with!
We loved that the Egret was within walking distance to shops and restaurants, and loved even more it was so close to the beach. We had our dog with us and the area of the beach that allows dogs is only 2 short blocks down. The cottage was very homey and exactly what we were looking for!
We had an amazing week. This place is perfect. On the quieter part of Clearwater Beach, but close enough to walk everywhere. So clean, updated, and everything you need. I feel we were so lucky to stay here and would absolutely love to book this place again.

Wonderful place, great location.
The place was great, recently remodeled and very clean. The walk to the beach couldn't be easier and there is a great pizza place across the street. The Shipwreck bar across the other street is the perfect local dive bar. Brittany was great to work with and keeps the place perfect. Can't say enough about this place. We will be back.
The Egret cottage is perfect for a romantic couples getaway. Super close to the beach and just a few blocks from some really good restaurants and bars. A little bit of a walk to the main downtown but totally doable. Having a dedicated parking space is a really nice feature. Pics were true to what you get. Bed is a little on the hard side. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Altobelli
I've been a children's dentist in Rochester, NY for 30+ years and my second career is designing, building, and renovating homes. I've owned this property for 20+ years.
Why they chose this property
Clearwater Beach is hands-down the best beach in the world. Well, at least we think so! This property is private and quiet — away from the tourist hub — and only 43 steps to white-sand beaches. Restaurants, bars, and the famous Pier 60 are just a few minutes' walk away.
What makes this property unique
A 1920s old Florida cottage with brand new amenities and beach access less than 100 steps from the front door.
