Why the Owner Chose Clearwater Beach
Having lived in London and the NYC area, location is extremely important to us. We wanted to be near a large metro area with all the amenities such a place can provide, and Tampa Bay is that place. We also wanted to be right on the water, and our balcony and Clearwater Beach itself is perfect! The area, as a total, is a complete winner.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The Harborview Grande is in the middle of everything on the beach, including terrific restaurants, shopping and Pier 60. The views of the gulf and bay are wonderful from our condo. The beach community is amazingly kid-friendly — and friendly to everyone. The Tampa Bay area provides the best of everything, including theater, dining, music , shopping, sports, to mention just a few. The entire area is splendid in general, and Clearwater Beach with all its amenities is fantastic in particular.
Owner's Map of Clearwater Beach
Hello! We are Norman and Nancy Stewart, owners of this condo in the gorgeous Harborview Grande. Our home is in the St. Louis area, but we try to get to Clearwater Beach as often as possible. Norman was a university president for a number of years. He now runs his own higher education consulting firm which takes him all over the world. Nancy was a university professor of education and now writes children’s books full time. She loves getting inspiration walking on the sugar sand beach and writing on the balcony! It is our hope that you find the comfort, happiness and serenity that we do in this beautiful place called Clearwater Beach.
