We enjoyed our stay at Anchors Up #1 and the rental was very clean, well decorated and everything was relatively new. It is located on a quiet street which is only a 5 minute walk to the beach and numerous restaurants. We would stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean and everything was as advertised. Mickey reached out to us to make sure all was okay for our check-in. Process was seamless. Loved that the place was close enough to walk everywhere but far enough to not feel like you were in the middle of it all. Would definitely stay there again.

Host was spot on when ask a question. Thanks for that. Place was clean inside and out. Walking distance to everything is true. Only used our rental car 1 time.It was true about the smoke alarm going off when the toaster was used but we just laughed about it so was fine.

Cute little gem

This was a great little place! We loved the proximity to the beach, shopping and food. It was 3 blocks to the beach which was great We had a little issue with the door not locking and the property manager was friendly and prompt. The location was quiet but also close to whatever you wanted to do in Clearwater.

Relaxing Get-away close to beach

Anchors Up #1 was everything the listing described. The setting is so peaceful and yet close enough to walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, and more. We loved coffee on the dock and evenings enjoying the patio space. It had everything we needed for a quiet respite. We would happily stay here again! If you need beach chairs, beach towels, or other equipment, area shops have them available for purchase or rent.

Had a great time!

Location was great but be prepared to walk to eat and the beach. It was Spring break week so area was busy. I was disappointed we had to go buy paper towel, toilet paper, plates etc. Otherwise we had a fantastic stay. We saw several dolphins on the bay in the morning and evening.
