Excellent location. Easy walk to all the activities we were looking for. The cottage was a little dark with the shades and the bathroom shows its age, but rest of the cottage was perfect.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
