Spectacular Ocean View- Clearwater Beach at Sand Key

My wife and I spent two wonderful months at Joe's fabulous condo. As others have noted, not even the vibrant photos on the listing do the view justice. From dolphins and osprey to manatees and pelicans, the Gulf's many natural wonders are right outside the balcony. The panorama is completely unobstructed and watching the sea change from turquoise blue to churning brown and green (and then back again) is just magnificent. Sunsets are unparalleled and we spent many a night grabbing a beach chair and bidding adieu to the day on the beach (though the views are just as great from the balcony).

For travelers who have not been to this part of Florida, "Clearwater" is a bit of a catch-all term and it's easy to go from residential to very touristy in a hurry. Fortunately, Joe's place is on lovely Sand Key, the prettiest and quietest stretch of beach along the whole coast. For what it's worth, we decided to make Sand Key our home for the foreseeable future. If you want nightlife and people-watching at bustling beaches, you can find that scene just north over the causeway (within walking distance on a cooler day). But if you're like us and prefer peace and serenity for your escape, Joe's is absolutely the place to be.

The condo itself is immaculately furnished and very well equipped. The kitchen, in particular, has obviously received special attention and been the recipient of extensive updating. All of the furniture is in excellent condition and the master bed is very comfy. It has everything you could want. The internet connection is both stable and fast, and the entertainment unit is first-rate. The extra board games and DVD were also a welcome surprise.

Lastly, dealing with Joe is a delight. He's a very honest, highly communicative fellow and makes everything a breeze. Though he doesn't live locally, his longtime housekeeper is a great resource and offers a full orientation upon arrival. She's very friendly and it was great to know there was someone nearby to call if anything went wrong (though nothing evert did).

Thanks, Joe, for a wonderful stay! We hope to meet you in person during your next visit. :)

This beautiful condo is breath taking. Great location, close to the beautiful beach.

The condo met and exceeded our needs for our month vacation. The owners are outstanding to deal with. The house keeper is outstanding. This was our second vacation at this location and we are planning to return to this beautiful condo again in the near future. Highly recommend this beautiful condo to those wanting to be right on the beautiful Clearwater beach. We even had the pleasure of watching dolphins from the condo well eating our meals.

Words cannot express the beauty and comfort of this gorgeous condo. The gulf and beach are literally brought into the living space by the massive floor to ceiling door walls. Breathtaking!! The condo is immaculate, well equipped and very tastefully decorated. We

felt at home immediately and hated to leave after our peaceful and restful vacation. The location is perfect for shopping, dining and enjoying Clearwater Beach. It was a delight working with the friendly, yet professional owner, along with his courteous and helpful housekeeper. We thank you for that. We will definitely plan on staying here again and highly recommend this unit and resort as "a dream come true".

This unit was perfect for my wife and I. Lots of living space, well equipped including the kitchen, fantastic view of the Gulf, and an active social program in the building. We met excellent neighbours in the building and around the pool. The beach in front of the unit is seldom crowded and Sand Key is generally the same. The location is perfect: shopping and restaurants across the street, short walk into Clearwater Beach, and easy to leave the island for shopping and events down the coast and in Belleair. The owner and housekeeper were very helpful with a minor issue we had. Love to return to this unit again.

This is the most beautiful resort! Lovely furnishings, great views, and a quiet place to relax. Clearwater is a beautiful place with a world famous beach. It is also in a driving distance to St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Tampa with other beaches, museums, and other attractions. The owner handles the rental transaction in a professional and safe manner. You are met with a helpful and courteous housekeeper to give instructions who has left the condo cleaned to perfection. I recommend this resort highly!
