About Ann
It has been my pleasure to introduce our guests to beautiful Clearwater Beach, FL over the past 18 years. My children and grandchildren love to visit the beach. Now other families can enjoy seeing their children get to know 'real' amusement--building sand castles, looking for sea shells and playing in the gentle surf of the Gulf of Mexico!
Ann purchased this house in 1993
Why Ann chose Florida Central West
The only purpose of Clearwater Beach is to have FUN! There is everything here to do just that. The beach has been ranked as one of the top best beaches in America. The neighborhood is only beach houses with a good mix of the 50's style houses and mega-mansions.
What makes this house unique
We strive to make each of the beach houses seem just like a 'Home Away From Home' for our guests. We want their vacation to be a special experience and we hope they take away many happy memories. This home has a private, fenced tropical garden which is perfect for sun-bathing. There is also a gas grill for cooking dinner.
Guestbook comments from the owner
After our drive from Tennesse we were thrilled to find such a clean and comfortable beach house waiting for us. All of the kids enjoyed the beach and riding the beach trolley. It was very convenient location and the beach was the best! The teenagers went down to the "city" beach but decided they enjoyed our beach more as it was not crowded. They walked up to Caladesi Island one day and took the ferry over to Honeymoon Island. We loved the house and plan to return!

Excellent!

My girls and I enjoyed our stay. It truly was the best vacation my girls and I have ever had .
The property was a perfect location and had everything that we would possibly need for the week . It truly was home away from home. My girls and I would most definitely select this home once again if we were to visit Clearwater which we plan to do in the near future :) Ann ,John and Jennifer were fantastic and we're all three readily available for any questions we had. The location and beach access were additional bonuses. We truly enjoyed the entire experience .
Thank you Ann, John and Jennifer for sharing your home
Exactly what we'd hoped
We had a great stay at the Yellow Flower beach house. Location was perfect for us--quiet surroundings and an easy stroll to uncrowded beach. The house suited our needs, with everything we needed for our short stay. Thanks for your hospitality!
Positives: Great location and access to private beach; but not recommend
Negatives: there is a musty smell--could be fixed with a dehumidifier--it's not just the Florida weather.
All kitchen utensils & silverware were dirty and not usable without washing. We ended up not cooking anything because we didn't want to use the stuff.
If you want to charge top dollar--some new furniture is necessary--or at least paint the old, rusty stuff.
Showers had black mold--an equivalent priced hotel would not! Call in someone to steam clean showers and floors. I have pictures if you don't know what I'm talking about.
The backyard could use a little TLC--clean up and seed to start.
And the house isn't yellow--so you must not have been there for a while to check on it. May be worth the trip!
And last, the toilet in the master bath can be sat on while brushing your teeth--and you can spit in the sink.
Some challenges...
Though it was great to have room to spread out, a fenced yard for our small dog, full kitchen, and laundry facilities, this house was not exactly what we were hoping for. The owner was very nice, and I kind of found the her last minute, after my original reservation at another place got canceled due to overbooking by the owner. The Yellow Flower house was almost twice the cost as the first place, but our five day trip was already planned and we needed a pet friendly place to stay.
I grew up in Florida and I assumed the house would be older, funky, and well, beachy. It was a nice, quiet neighborhood. As soon as we walked in the front door we noticed a musty odor. Again, I am not unfamiliar with Florida and humidity, but this house was seriously damp inside.
Being February, it was too cool to turn on the air conditioning, so the dampness and odor remained. The second day I noticed I was coughing and my husband was complaining of a headache and sinus issues. Each day it seemed to get worse. By the fourth day we couldn't take anymore so we packed up and went to a hotel, where we instantly felt better. I feel like the upside of the house was not worth the price and inconvenience of feeling sick from being there. I would not recommend this property.
Beautiful Home in a Superb Location!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The house is clean, and well-appointed, and most importantly, right across the road from the nicest, quietest stretch of Clearwater Beach. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, and we enjoyed our morning runs and evening walks, there. The owners were nice and polite, and very welcoming, and helpful with our questions, and concerns. We will definitely consider returning to this special vacation property again!
Perfect!
I traveled with my daughters, and this was the perfect location nestled in a quiet neighborhood. It was so nice to have access to a beach (a very short walk across the street) that was away from the crowds. Aside from the beautiful scenery, the house was clean and had all the necessities. The owner is friendly and accessible, and she offers good advice. Caladesi State Park is a must. Clearwater has much to offer, and I look forward to staying here again!
