Steps to Gulf Beach | Family-Friendly Condo w/ Water Views & Pool

Summary:

Schantzis on the Gulf 201



The Space:

Schantzis on the Gulf is a beautiful home-away-from-home beach condo on the intracoastal.

From our family to yours.... We have gone to great lengths to ensure that Schantzis on the Gulf will leave you comfortable and relaxed, offering you the perfect home base for your time in Clearwater Beach. From sunrise to sunset, our home is bright and airy. Enjoy watching breathtaking sunrises over the Clearwater bridge through the living room's panoramic windows or from the comfort of our East-facing patio chairs. And when sunset comes, swing around to the South side of our large, well-appointed patio. Indoors, our home boasts a roomy 1800+sf with 3 elegantly decorated bedrooms, each with its own smart streaming TV and DVD player, and 2 whimsical bathrooms, one with a jacuzzi tub and separate shower and the other with a tub/shower combo. With a king, a queen, and two twin beds, our home comfortably sleeps 6. And with two hotel-grade roll-away beds and a porta-crib, a few extra children can make themselves at home. Our spacious kitchen has all the appliances and kitchen gadgets needed to prepare a gourmet dinner or a wholesome holiday feast. Wifi is accessible throughout and on the patio. We are easily accessible on the 2nd floor, just above the covered ground-level parking area, with direct access via the stairwell on the south side of the building or elevator in the lobby (your parking pass will be waiting for you when you arrive). You will enjoy amazing views of the intracoastal waterway, where you'll see dolphins swimming, schools of fish and the occasional manatee. The pool is readily accessed from the patio. And a gas grill is available for your use. But as much as you will love it here, we know how important your beach days will be—check out the closet in the second bedroom, which is stocked with beach toys, a cart, coolers, floats and a beach tent. Upon your return, you can use the wash-up area near the lobby entrance to wash off the sand; toss your things in the full-size washer dryer in our laundry room; and be ready for whatever the next day brings.

Fantastic place!!!!! Great location. Great price. The only thing that could improve is the check in instructions. They say go to the concierge but one does not exist. Host helped us with that promptly.

Thank you for staying at Schantzis on the Gulf 201 and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and value.

We’ll update the instructions so future guests have clear directions. Glad the host was able to assist promptly. Thank you again for choosing our property, and we hope to welcome you back.

The property itself was everything we needed for our beach vacation. It was clean and had all the beach essentials. It was nice being able to walk down the steps and be at the sidewalk to be on our way. This is our second time staying in this building and I think we will be back again. The check in process was a little confusing as we did check in early, but nothing that didn’t ruin our vacation.

The property was beautiful! Pool shared with another condo property and was very small. Communication with the management company was fairly decent. I would go back just because the inside was so beautiful and large. Great area also!!!

The property was very clean and nice! The only issue we ran into was that our code for the front door didn't work on arrival. Communication was great and we were given a code to retrieve the key. We received a new door code the next day- communication was great! We were surprised that the front patio area was shared, although most of the time we had ours to ourselves and it wasn't an issue. We also were surprised that the pool was shared by another property. The only issue we had there was the first evening, it was completely full with both kids and adults and very loud. We had a great time at this property- the views were beautiful and we had easy walking access to restaurants, shops and beach.

We appreciate you choosing Schantzis on the Gulf and for sharing these helpful notes. It’s great to hear the location and views added to your stay. We’ve reviewed the keyless entry process to improve reliability, and we’ll clarify the listing about shared outdoor spaces so expectations are clear. We’d love to host you again when you’re back in the area for another relaxing visit.
