Great little beach cottage

The location is perfect for whatever you want to do. It's close to the beach, restaurants and shops but it's a couple streets north of the hustle and bustle so the street is quiet. Capt. Al responds by text quickly and will do whatever he can up make your trip work for you.

We loved staying here. It is just steps from the beach. It was so quiet, we never heard our neighbors. Very easy to get around. I definitely recommend staying here! Capt. Al was great to work with and only a call away if we needed him.

Cottage by the Beach

I've stayed at dozens of rentals over the years. This property has been the only one were we had to secure another location during the week at our own expense because we felt like the cottage was not clean enough. Captain Al is a great guy and the location is great. But it never felt relaxing in the place because just wasn't up to the standards one would expect in a rental.

The right way to enjoy Clearwater Beach

Capt. Al treats you like an old friend. The location can't be beat. Beach towels, chairs, bicycles, and the real feel of being in a Florida Beach House. Who could ask for more.

Fantastic cozy cottage!

This property was absolutely perfect for our girls trip. Super close to everything. We walked everywhere. The staff was SUPER friendly and accommodating. We could not have had a better location! If you want a relaxed environment with everything you need (beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, floats, tents, towels, etc) then this is your place.

Great location! Steps from the beach.

We had a wonderful time. Very short walk to the beach. The location can not be beat. Cute cottages. We stayed in one and a friend stayed in another. The kiddos were safely running between. They are very nice old cottages. Cant beat the location. Capt. AL always responded. Thank you! We had a great time.

Amazing cottage for an amazing price

This is a great cottage for familes that can get along in tight quarters. We stayed in the Gulfside cottage and had 4 adults and a toddler. We were able to make it work, but you have to be okay with little privacy. Beach was beautiful and never too crowded. Main strip of restaurants, bars, and shops are less than a 10 min walk away. The staff made us feel welcomed and made sure we had everything we needed.

Cute and location was excellent

It's just north of the strip but can walk into the action in a matter of minutes. It's a 3 minute walk to the beach. The property has chairs, and beach stuff to borrow. The property itself was very cute and corky! It's tight but it worked well for us. The captain was excellent with communication! Would definitely come back again. Thank you

Classic Beach House - Very Nice Shabby Chic

Clearwater Beach offers mostly soulless high rises, but this 100-year-old cottage has the character of Old Florida (something we like a lot.) This apartment is reasonably spacious and decorated with real style. The cottage is old and every surface has probably 20 layers of paint, but that is part of its old charm. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. The courtyard was a bit less cared for -- some clutter and it would have benefited from a daily leaf-blowing. I guess this complex attracts families with small children, which was nice. It really is almost right on the beach. Overall, we were charmed.

Perfect beach bungalow

We tend to visit clearwater about 6 times a year and after staying here this time i am so upset i never found it before! The owners and employees were so welcoming and friendly but werent pushy like anywhere else you stay! Also, the amount of items necessary for a day at the beach was an extra bonus i didnt know we needed. Absolutely recommend 100% and will be staying here again!!

Couldn't stay--double booked

Arrived at night to find property had been double-booked and we had no place to stay. I had texted manager during driving to let him know what time we were arriving. Manager worked with me to find a place to go (with 4 children in our group) during spring break. Extremely fortunate to find someplace that could accommodate our group, but it was more expensive. Communication between computer systems problem?? Manager had responded to a previous email and that day had answered my text, so he knew we were headed his way. Very tense hour or two, wondering were we were going to stay, or having to drive inland.

We had a very good time and would've stayed another day if it were available. This was a nice comfortable little collage. Perfect for a family of 3 - 5. The staff was very friendly and courteous. It literally is only steps from the beach (less than a 100 yards).
