ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

We had a wonderful time here. I'm so very picky about cleanliness & this place was VERY clean all the way around. There are lots of security cameras & 24 hour security guards, so you never have to worry about your safety, which was great. You also can't get onto the property, AT ALL, without a key device. There's no doubt, you will not be disappointed with your stay at Mandalay Beach Club. We will be making this a yearly vacation from now on. Thanks Hans & Haydee for sharing your 2nd home with our family.

Home at the beach

My husband and I have stayed here twice now and I am online to book our 3rd stay. It just occurred to me that we had yet to leave Hans a review on the lovely place so wanted to take the time to do so. You cannot find a better place on clearwater beach. Beautiful place, beautiful view, and wonderful owners to deal with. We visit clearwater beach every year and plan on staying here for every visit. I cannot say enough about this place.

Fantastic apartment, great location and very helpful owner!

We stayed at this apartment for 17 nights in April 2012. My husband and I were travelling with our two boys, 7 and 4 years old. The accommodation itself and the Mandalay Beach Club were both fantastic and very well equipped. The communal areas are beautiful and very well maintained. We have stayed at the Sandpearl Resort in a suite and also at the Sandpearl Residences just next door and would only now stay at the Mandalay Beach Club. Easy access to the beach/pool/street. We used the bbqs by the pool on several nights. Hans was very helpful and thoughtful. He answered many queries and was very flexible. We would definitely stay again!

February 2012 at the beach

Guest J & P
Date of stay 02/01/12
Review Submitted 03/02/12

Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was nice, the view was great, the pool was great, everything outside or associated with the property was perfect. Inside we had a few concerns. The TV was very old, reception would have been good-for 20 year old technology. An HDTV would have been much better. A corresponding, upgraded programming plan would be much better. We would have appreciated having WiFi available IN the condo, not having to go to the clubhouse to check emails. Please consider upgrading the living room furniture (just not comfy) and replace the daybeds with quality twin beds.

Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

Owner response: The TV is scheduled to be replaced before summer. I agree with you there. I cannot understand why you had to go the clubhouse to check your mails. That never happened to me. I am available all the time, so a simple phone call or e mail could have been sufficient so I could have tried to sort it out. I have requested surveys in the past to guests regarding "upgrading TV programming".The vast mayority expressed they "would rather stay outside than watch TV"; therefore, "upgrading" the TV program was felt unnecessary.As I mention before, this is not just a "rental property". it is also our home, and the daybeds meet our family needs, and we are happy to share our home with those who feel the same way.Hans

Our winter vacation

Guest Sun Seeker

Review Submitted 01/10/12

Our family of five stayed at the condo over winter break and had an amazing time! Our vacation was so relaxing thanks to the space available for our kids to play and enjoy themselves. We were within walking distance of everything we needed on Clearwater Beach. We spent many evenings down at Pier 60 enjoying the local artisans. The condo was exactly as described, no surprises. We had a beautiful view of the pool and beach. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed to feel at home. We ate most of our meals in and even ate a few meals on the patio which was so pleasant. The third bed in the 2nd bedroom was ideal for our family. The property was very well kept both inside and out and the staff was top notch (very professional and helpful). Hans was great to work with and even followed up to see how our vacation went. I would definitely recommend this condo and we are even considering booking again in the near future!

Thanksgiving Week in Clearwater - Our First Visit to the Area

Guest Tina & Kevin
Date of stay 11/19/11
Review Submitted 01/06/12

My husband and our two children (16 & 23) spent the week of thanksgiving in this beautiful condo. The property was clean and had all of the amenities one would expect in a luxury condo. The views of Clearwater Beach were unobstructed. You cannot see the sunset from the balcony of the condo, but it is awesome from the pool area or the beach, of course. The beach was expansive and we never felt crowded. There are miles to walk or run on the beach and the white sand and warm gulf water was perfect. There were so many nice restaurants in walking distance. Our favorite was Clearwater Wine Co. which you could easily pass by and never know what a gem you missed. Clearsky Beachside Cafe was always good; we visited three times, great wait staff. Crabby Bill's Clearwater was a nice family place with good food and live music. The Gondolier had the most fantastic pizza, not exaggerating, super fresh toppings and tons of cheese. It seemed to have a younger family atmosphere. Cooter's rum punch was killer; get the Meyer's shot on top and "say no" to whimpy drinks! A block away from the condo is the Fun Ride Rentals (inside the Hilton parking ramp). It is a family owned business with the most friendly and patient staff. We rented four mopeds and spent the day traveling the coastline to Treasure Island. St. John's Pass was worth the trip. Dinners were a bit pricey, but that is relative to the midwest USA that we are used to. Hans was a pleasure to work with and he even brought us a small cooler for the beach. There were pleanty of beach towels & chairs. The gym, common areas and pool were perfectly maintained. There was some remodeling going on in the condo above us on one morning, but the workers were conscientious and worked swiftly to minimize any disturbance. Overall, a wonderful vacation. Thank you Hans & Haydee for sharing your home. We will be back!

Our family stayed here in Oct 2011, and found the condo clean, perfectly located, and beautifully decorated. We had searched for weeks trying to find the 'right' condo for our vacation - many were outdated, or over-priced. This condo was perfect! We were met by the owner upon our arrival, and were provided their contact information in case of any questions or problems... The owners are kind and personable, and the unit is perfect.. We enjoyed our trip, and had a real 'vacation'! (-:

We had a great time at the Mandalay. Hans was great and very accomodating. We would definitely stay here again. The place was very nice and everything we expected. The view would have been even better if the shrubs on the grounds were trimmed, so you could see the full pool, but otherwise it was still beautiful. The view of the ocean and susets right from the balcony are breathtaking.

Review Submitted 07/05/11

This was our first time to Clearwater Beach. A friend of mine told me that they had used VRBO before and that I should look into it. I am so glad that I did. We didn't know waht to expect and all we had to go on was the pictures, prior reviews and email communication with the owner. When we walked through the door to our Condo unit, we were amazed. Everything was just as it was listed and the pictures were right on. It was clean, neat and very well maintained. The view was breathtaking and the sunsets were picture perfect. The swimming area was good size. I would say that for the week that we were there there wasn't more than 20 people at the pool at one time. I used the workout facility and the equipment was very up-to-date. My husband and I have already decided that we will definitely be looking at renting this unit again next year(hopefull)! If you stay here you will NOT be disappointed.

Our stay at Mandalay Beacg Club was excellent. The property management was exceptional. Our condo unit was clean and comfortable. The views of the Gulf were beautiful. The owner were very professional and helpful. We are baseball fans and enjoyed several games in Clearwater. The restaurants in the area are too plentiful to list but we did enjoy the Island Way Grille, Sand Pearl and Vill Gallace among opthers. I would recommend this condo and this area too all my friends.

Hans and his beautiful condominium are absolutely the best! We have used VRBO with good results many times before, but have to complement Hans as going above and beyond to insure that we had a great stay. The condo was extremely well located on the beach and was in a well maintained high end building with great security and parking. I would recommend this property for anyone and we look forward to returning.

We just returned from Clearwater had such a great time. The condo was beautiful and was located in a ideal location. It was within walking distance to just about everything. Hans was very accomodating and even made special arrangements for us since we arrived late at night on our first night there. I would definitely stay here again!

My family and I go to Florida every year and usually around the Destin, Panama City area. Because of tarballs washing ashore this year we went to Clearwater. The unit that we stayed in was excellent and very well prepared. The furnishings were nice and we had such a wonderful time that we now consider going back to the Clearwater area. And if we do go back i would love to stay at tis complex again as the staff were all welcoming and professional and the atmosphere was a quiet one which we enjoy.
