Date of Stay: 04/01/12 Review Submitted: 05/10/12

We have returned from a one month stay at this unit in April 2012. We were delighted about everything with this unit. It met all of our needs, our expectations and more. The condo had all the amenities a couple would want and it was very clean and well decorated. The pool and pool area are absolutely marvellous. This condo is extremely well located with access to the beach in 7 minutes. There is easy access to several malls, stores, restaurants, parks and other attractions. There is a grocery store, a liquor store and several other establishments within walking distance of the condo. We will definitely be returning to this condo. We will highly recommend this unit to others. The owners are absolutely amazing.

The condo is clean, well appointed, and shows pride of ownership. Cavell is a delight to deal with; very cooperative and helpful. You won't find a better owner. The location of the condo is excellent -- close to Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, and Honeymoon Island. I wouldn't hesitate to rent any property owned by Cavell. Ben

Exactly as described

Guest: Katie F. (Atlanta, GA, USA)
Date of Stay: 12/23/11 Review Submitted: 01/17/12

The condo was exactly as described, with lots of great things not mentioned! The TVs are Sony Vizios with tons of channels and in the bedroom, we were able to get our Netflix and Hulu+ services to watch movies. There is WiFi that worked great for all our needs. There is a washer/dryer which we used every day so we had only a small bag of laundry when we got home after a week's stay. The washer & dryer are HE front loaders and in great condition. We spent most of our time in Dunedin with our family, but enjoyed the time we were in the condo. Parking is ample and we were able to park right next to the unit every time. I would definitely stay here again. On the recommendation of other travelers, we visited Mugs (easy walk) and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is VERY reasonably priced and has great service, food and drinks.

Owner response:Thanks Katie for the great review. We appreciate it very much and are very happy to hear them. Mugs is one of our favorite spots too...especially for Wednesday wing night. Thanks again. Cavell and Rudy

We just returned from a fabulous week in Clearwater! The condo had absolutely everything that we needed such as wireless internet, washer/dryer, free local and long distance phone service, luxurious bath towels, beach chairs, towels and other beach apparatus. In addition, it was exceptionally clean. Also, the condo is in a gated complex which made us feel very secure during our stay. It is in an ideal location as it is close to the beach, grocery store, restaurants, and shopping centers. The owners were fantastic to deal with and were there to answer any questions that we had. It was truly a home away from home!! We strongly recommend this condo to anyone visiting the area!

Owner response:Hi Stephanie and George, Thanks very much for the lovely review. We are so happy you guys enjoyed yourselves and found the condo to be equipped with everything you needed. We would be happy to have you stay again. Cavell and Rudy

Nice Condo ... Great Stay

Guest: buckeyes (Ohio)
Date of Stay: 10/05/11 Review Submitted: 10/20/11

We just returned from a 6 night stay at this condo in Clearwater. Our stay included a little business and some vacationing fun as well. Condo was exceptionally clean & well equipped. The condo is in a gated complex and was very peaceful and quiet. The location was nice as well. It is located directly across the street from a grocery store & is close to other shopping and restaurants. We were not familiar with the area so it was helpful that the condo was located near major roads and streets which helped you get around easily. Oh and did I mention just a short car ride through downtown and you are crossing over a bridge to the beach?!? Overall met all of our needs. The only negative thing I can say is that we had to come home!

Owner response:Thanks Charity for the nice comments. We agree the location is excellent, close to everything. Glad it met your needs. As for having to come home, well, all good things must come to an end. We would be delighted to have you again. Thanks again, Cavell

Another Excellent Stay!

This was our second time here and it was just as good as the first. We had everything we needed and the place was immaculate. The owners have been nothing but fantastic to deal with. You can expect to find the place exactly as described. Our travel day was full of cancellations and delays and we got in much later than expected but we were so warmly greeted by the person who lets you in and gives you the key that it helped to make the end of a very long day more bearable. We are planning to go to Clearwater again next year and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else!

Owner response:Thanks again Beth. Your lovely comments are much appreciated. We are so happy all worked out so well and you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you again next year!! Take care.

Fantastic apartment

Guest: Jonathan (Wales, United Kingdom)
Date of Stay: 05/31/11 Review Submitted: 07/11/11

The apartment was a great choice for a stay in the Clearwater area. Clean, comfortable and well located. The owners had ensured that the apartment was fitted out with everything you would need for an enjoyable stay - this was very much appreciated and just made for an easy, comfortable holiday. The owners appear to be very nice people also which made it an absolute pleasure to rent from them. Would definitely return.

Owner response:Thanks Jonathan for your nice comments. Happy to hear you found the condo to be outfitted with everything you needed and you enjoyed your stay. We would be delighted to have you stay again in the future. Take care, Cavell and Rudy

Home away from home

Guest: Keith (Mount Pearl, NFLD, Canada)
Date of Stay: 04/01/11 Review Submitted: 06/21/11

We spent five weeks in this beautiful well kept condo. It was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location was great, close to supermarkets, excellent restaurants, shopping centres and beaches. We felt very safe in this gated community. We loved the pool and the fully equipped gym and we meet some wonderful people there. We would not hesitate recommending this condo to our friends. We are looking forward to returning again in 2013. Thanks Cavell and Rudy for checking in on us on the first day we arrived to ensure that everything was ok. Thanks too, for the tourist information provided at the condo, we found this very helpful in planning our daily activities.

Owner response:Thanks Keith and Kathy for the nice comments. We agree the location is excellent and we also love the pool and the close proximity to the beach. Glad you guys enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return in 2013. Take care, Cavell and Rudy

Fantastic Clearwater Condo

Guest: Caygrif1 (Florham Park, New Jersey)
Date of Stay: 12/18/10 Review Submitted: 01/07/11

My husband and I traveled to Clearwater to visit family over the holidays and we stayed here. The condo was clean, safe and had everything we needed for a great stay. A few of my brothers stayed with us for a few days, and we had plenty of room for everyone to sleep; also,there was more than enough supplies - bedding, linens and towels - to support the guests. It was not only a far better place to stay than any area hotel, it was also offered at a better price! The amenties and location were great, and I recommend this condo to anyone visiting the area! In fact, I cannot wait to stay there again on my next visit.

Owner response:Hi Charissa, Thanks for the nice feedback. We are happy you enjoyed the condo and got to spend the holidays with your family. We like to hear that our tenants find everything they need for an enjoyable stay. Glad your brothers got to visit you too. Take care, and we would be happy to have you again. Cavell

The following comment was sent to me in an email: Comments: We just spent a week in this condo. We served Christmas turkey dinner to 9 people, and found the kitchen well equipped for this huge task. We made many trips to Countryside Mall, Clearwater Beach, and Indian Rocks Beach, and coming back to the condo was always like coming home. Grocery and other big box stores were convenient. Within the condo unit itself, the laundry duo served us well and frequently, and bed was comfortable. Phones and TVs were reliable The condo was generally quiet.

Wonderful 9-day stay over Thanksgiving | Convenient Location

Guest: Rich (Lexington, KY)
Date of Stay: 11/21/10 Review Submitted: 12/11/10

The condo was exactly as described in the vrbo listing. It worked out perfectly for us as a convenient location between Dunedin/Tarpon Springs and the beach at Clearwater. We had our 17 month old with us, and with just a few minor adjustments, the condo was child proof. The pool area was beautiful and spacious, and rarely was there more than one other person/couple there, so we often had it to ourselves. We would have liked the pool to be heated higher, but that was our only minor complaint. Overall this condo was like "new" and is highly recommended by this KY couple.

Owner response:Hi Rich and Marta. Thanks so much for the nice comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We absolutely love lying by the pool too. There may have been an issue with the pool during your stay as we left just prior to your arrival and I thought the same thing about the water temperature. I will be sure to mention this to the office. Thanks again. We hope to have you again in the future.

Excellent Clearwater Rental

Guest: Lynne (Spring, Texas USA)
Date of Stay: 07/28/10 Review Submitted: 08/14/10

This condo is even better than described on the VRBO site. It was very clean and easy to keep up with (tile floors throughout) The amenities were wonderful--washer/dryer, wireless internet, free local and long distance phone service, luxurious bath towels, beach chairs, towels and other beach apparatus, extra airbed for visitors. It is in a gated community so I felt safe and secure as a single traveler. The owners provided information on a variety of activities to do in the Clearwater area--museums, dining, beach activities, hiking on the Pinellas Trail with maps of the entire area included. They called to check on me during my stay. I was very pleased with this visit.

Owner response:Thanks Lynne for your nice comments. Glad you enjoyed your stay and got to walk some of the Pinellas Trail. We thoroughly enjoy that too. Hopefully you can stay again in the future. Cavell and Rudy

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The location worked really well and it was convenient to get to anything in Clearwater or back over to Tampa if necessary. The condo was immaculate when we arrived and had everything we needed. The owner was very easy to deal with and the arrangements for getting a key, etc. worked just as I was told. The pool was lovely. We felt very safe within the community as well. There are restaurants and a grocery store right nearby. Overall it was a great experience and we hope to visit again!

Date of Stay: 04/09/10 Review Submitted: 05/03/10

In a word, Fantastic!!! The Accomodations were excellant for my wife and I. The pictures enclosed on this site were exactly as described. The Condo was very clean and comfortable. The location was excellant for going to the beach, shopping and playing golf. After each outing, my wife and I would return to the condo in the afternoon and relax around the heated pool. The weather was sunny and warm in the low 80's each day. I would recommend this condo to my family and friends. Look forward to returning next year.

Owner response:Thanks for your nice comments Leon and Christine. Glad you guys enjoyed your stay and had some great weather. We would be happy to have you stay again next year.

Dear Cavell: I posted a review but vrbo now wants me to confirm the review. I tried but failed to make contact. My review stated that I enjoyed my 2 month stay despite the weather and that despite minor problems the owners were great people to deal with. Feel free to post this if vrbo doesn’t accept my review.
