Beautiful stay, affordable!

Loved the place, price, and location. If I had to complain about anything would be the pool wasn’t very clean. Water was were we spent all our time, very convenient access but daughter was disappointed in the pool. Enjoyed it, just wish we were there longer!

Perfect place for some time away

This property provided great access to the Gulf. It is within walking distance of the pier. Also because of its proximity to the state park, it was less crowded than condos further west. Overall it was exactly what we needed

Great location with an accommodating household

The vacation home was small yet efficient. Beach access was great, and the pool was maintained well. The view of the beach from the balcony was great. We will definitely stay at this location again.

Beach front for cheap

The dishes and utensils were dirty upon arrival and the place really needs some major upgrades but very well priced. Great location, not super busy, and great communication from the rental property.

Short stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were very pleased with the condo. We would definitely stay here again. Only suggestion would be to make sure the lamps in living room work and update coffee pot to K-cup style.

Wonderful stay

I have been staying at the Clearwater condos the same week for the past 10 years. This is my 3rd yr using Vacasa and they have always been pleasant and have never had any issues. This yr I stayed in 5C and have to say Thank you to the owner and cleaning crew. This is the cleanest and best decor of any I’ve stayed in. Beachy feel but not over the top! The Kitchen cookery supplies and utinsels were the best, which I appreciate! Well stocked with assortment of pots n pans etc. The building and pool itself is not anything fancy but that is my personal preference for our group.

No secure internet

If you are planning on doing work and logging into a private/ secure internet then this isn’t the place to stay. It is a great location and great views. I would suggest upgrading the patio furniture with anything but the plastic table and chairs.

Steps away from a small piece of paradise…

Great condo away from it all. Steps away from the beach and no stairs to get to beach. The day we didn’t go to the beach, the daughter just imagined she was on a cruise ship since all you saw and heard was the ocean. Well equipped but could use some extremely minor maintenance.

Vacation

Ice maker took 24 hours to fill the tray. Sliding glass door did not lock. Overall was okay. Maybe look at chair rental company, paid $200 for chairs but sat far enough back that there were people setting up in front of us. Noticed two other companies had there's up closer so people could not block the ocean view

not as expected

There were dirty towels in the washing machine. There was a few dishes that were dirty in the cabinets. The TV in the living room was glitchy. The wifi did not work from the bunk beds or the bedroom. There was a lot of sand on the floors. It was so bad we cut our stay short and left after one night.

Condo used to be nice, but was rented out and abused

Where to start. The bedroom: needs blackout curtains to help block out the exterior light that shines in it all night and makes it bright as day at all hours of the day, the bed mattress is tired and needs to be replaced, squeaks pretty bad any time you move. The bathroom: not pictured in the ad for good reason. Has not been updated. The toilet needs a new wax ring or a total replacement because it smells like pee every time you flush, the shower curtain liner needs to be replaced because it’s stained and ripped, the hand towel bar and toilet paper holder are missing so there’s no place to put either except on the .1 sq feet of counter space in the bathroom, the exhaust fan doesn’t do anything except shake the ceiling in the bathroom. The kitchen is nice though we didn’t use much of it, oh and there was a cockroach hanging out in there on our last morning. The living room is decent, the couch is so tired and will swallow you, it looks comfortable but isn’t. We didn’t use the tv. There were no wifi instructions given and no wifi network for the specific condo, we had to use one for a neighboring unit. The balcony furniture is ripped or unusable, though you won’t want to be out there because the surrounding condos are full of chain smokers and it’s not enjoyable to be out there. The AC unit does work well even though it causes condensation buildup on the windows and doors. Aspects of this condo were nice before it was used and abused by renters. Could use some more owner attention. Way overpriced for the condition! We won’t be back.

Somebody dropped the ball

We liked the unit itself .It was a little better than others we've stayed in at that building. We did have problems with the Wi-Fi coverage, lots of drop-offs and slow speed. Also, the balcony door lock is non-functional. But "somebody dropped the ball" the unit had not been serviced between tenants. It was dirty in numerous areas, the beds had not been changed, there were dirty towels in the bathroom, and the previous tenants parking tag was all that was available. We spent several hours arrival night getting these things corrected.

Great location but needs thorough cleaning.

We loved the condo location. Was close enough to walk everywhere. And the condo had everything needed to cook, watch RV, play video games, including the games, read, books provided. The only downside was the need for a deep cleaning and attention to dryer noise. I am sure it has been rented all the time which probably explains the lack of intensive cleaning. But with everything going on, it would be advisable to take a day or two and do that. Would rent it again even with that being said.
