Pleasure boaters, including those from the sailing club across the street, are always out ...
If you're looking for CLEAN and BEAUTIFUL, look no further! The makeover for 2012 included a BRAND NEW KITCHEN and master bath upgrade - recent tenants have raved!

Downstairs you'll find two pools, two hot tubs, grills, a billiards room, fitness center, tennis courts and of course, a stairway down to a beautiful beach. Crescent Beach Club is a gated community (recently fully renovated with new carpet, paint and gym), always recognized as one of the best on Sand Key.
Sand Key has been named one of the TOP BEACHES in the U.S. and offers easy access to LOTS OF ACTIVITIES. Directly across the street from CBC is great shopping and eating, including the world-famous Columbia Restaurant! Five minutes walk is Sand Key park and the Community Sailing Club. Just north is Clearwater Beach, with shops, restaurants, boating (the Pirate Ship!) and a recent beach transformation - google "Clearwater Beach Walk." South on Gulf Blvd. is a string of beach towns, an eclectic mix of restaurants, from gourmet to local hangouts, putt putt, parks, ice cream, etc.. A bit further and you reach John's Pass, Madeira Beach and then St. Petersburg. Tampa is only 30 minutes away - shopping, pro sports, Busch Gardens and Ybor City!

Map & Owner's Profile
Spacious Crescent Beach Club Condo: Renovated and Wonderful!
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Sand Key
Sand Key is a great area - top quality beaches, kid-friendly activities and easy access to restaurants, groceries, bars etc. The Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area has so much to offer, whether it's one of the best beaches in the world or a full range of Florida activities ... you'll find it here.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Fully renovated, large private condo. Panoramic views of the Gulf. Moments away from the pool, beach, tennis courts. Shopping and restaurants across the street. Sand Key Park only 10 minutes on foot. Clearwater Beach less than 5 minutes by car. All this only 30 minutes from the Tampa Airport.
World famous Cuban and Spanish food - our personal favorites are Cuban bread, ropa vieja and white sangria!
Wonderful array of fresh, local seafood, with outdoor seating overlooking the inter-coastal water.
Great food (Crabby Bill's), great fun (Parasail City or Captain Memo's Pirate Cruise) and great adventure (Queen Fleet deep sea fishing or private charter boats).
The infamous Red Lion - English Ales, Irish Stouts and excellent pub grub go great with billiards, darts and that perfect late night jukebox! A classic beach-side pub.
Owner's Map of Sand Key
We enjoy the property with both family and friends. It was best described by a recent tenant as "just like home" ... we do all we can to ensure that the total experience (from inquiry to vacation to return travel) is a positive one.

What a great vacation getaway! The Crescent Beach Club property was immaculate and the location was perfect. It's located on the best section of Sand Key Beach. The condo itself was very spacious and well accomodating. The owner was great to work with. We would definitely stay in this condo again! We had an amazing time!
Owner response:Glad to hear! Since your stay, we've completed a total kitchen renovation AND master bath upgrade. Your words - immaculate and perfect - are likely even more appropriate! We'll look forward to hosting you again sometime soon.

My family ( wife, son, daughter-in-law and grand daughter ) stayed here in April of 2011. We were very impressed with the cleanliness, size, amenities and great location of this condo. The description was exact and the owner was most accomodating and helpful. This condo has a balcony on the ocean ( over looking the pool ) where we ate all our breakfasts. The Crescent Beach Club is in a super location near restaurants, Clearwater Beach ( a little over a 1 mile walk to Clearwater Beach ) and a small mall across the street. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a safe, fun-filled vacation to sunny Florida.
Owner response:Glad to hear you enjoyed the balcony! I almost forget sometimes how nice it is to be looking out to miles of only sand and surf! That's the definition of location, location, location ...

Matt's condo is wonderful with beautiful views from both bedrooms and living room. The condo was very clean and the property was well maintained. The beach is large and there were beach chairs, towels, umbrellas for us to use. There are some shops and restaurants within walking distance and lots of things to do just a few miles away in Clearwater Beach. I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a relaxing vacation at the beach.
Owner response:So glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We're happy to ensure the property is well maintained - even as we plan a total kitchen upgrade - we also give credit and thanks to a good, long-term cleaning crew! Now, the beach and panoramic views are simply part of the deal and we're just lucky to be on that particular, wonderful stretch of sand ...

A Wonderful Stay

Matt's condo was well-equipped, spacious and extremely comfortable. The location was ideal with the beach steps away and restaurants and attractions all easily accessible. Above all, the condo afforded beautiful views of both the Gulf and the Inter-coastal waterway. With BOTH front and rear balconies in the condo, you could choose sun & warmth or shade & cool ! We had a wonderful stay and plan to return. P.S. Matt, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with.
Owner response:Thanks Arlene! Although it's not my "full-time" job, I really enjoy working through the process and ensuring that our place is the right fit for someone's Florida vacation. We understand this can be a big decision, especially as travel costs keep rising. It's important to me that visitors are happy - when we treat people fairly and help them make a good decision, they'll return to our condo again and again ... and recommend others check us out! By the way, we will look forward to hosting YOU again next March and greatly appreciate your vote of confidence!

My wife and I spent a month at this condo in Spring 2011. It is a very spacious, clean and well appointed condo in an absolutely beautiful setting....on the Gulf. The condo building is well managed and clean, with very nice pool and hot tub facilities right on the beach,.The condo is kid friendly with plenty of room to play. Matt is a very accommodating owner and made us feel quite welcome. We hope to rent it again very soon!
Owner response:We're so glad you enjoyed your stay - the condo, the building and the beach! We've hosted families, retirees and everyone in between and ALL seem to appreciate the extra space our large unit offers. We work hard to keep the process simple and ensure that every visit is fun and relaxing. Obviously, we LOVE repeat visitors and will look forward to having you back! By the way, thanks for the recent referral - looks like they'll be coming to stay this summer.

What a great location and great condo. The owner made the process quick and easy and offered additional information that made our stay extra special. We have rented this condo several years in a row and the renovations have made it better and better every year! We will come back over and over again. Thanks

Great condo in a superior location, but the real surprise was the condo owner. The owner actually responds to inquiries in a timely manner, highly unlike other owners on VRBO. We were able to lock-in our vacation plans within a very short period of time. This eliminates the stress out of vacation planning. The condo is as-advertised and very roomy, directly on the beach. The owner made the rental easy; great communication, great follow-through & our deposit was refunded promptly.
Owner response:Very nice, thank you. We aim to keep the process simple - before and after we agree to a rental - and yes, Crescent Beach Club is a great building, on a great beach. We welcome anyone looking for a nice, relaxing getaway with lots of room to enjoy!

Owner response:Thanks for the kind words - as we say online, it's DIRECT beachfront. Our cleaning crew has been with us 4-5 years and does a great job - it's part of the reason we're confident that when someone walks through the door, they'll be pleasantly surprised!
