About this property

Great Studio - Under 2 minute walk to beach where dogs are welcome

This bright and airy loft apartment, custom built for the owner, sits atop the rear of a two bedroom rental home. It is the 5th home off the beach (a mere 250 feet), and on a one-block long street which ends at the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico, 75 steps away. You enter this unit upstairs from your own large private deck, which has a water view and is complete with table and chairs, umbrella, loungers, and a gas grill. It is an ideal spot for tanning, outdoor dining and get-togethers, and simply enjoying the sunset and gulf breezes.
The unit is approximately 500 square feet. It sits atop the rear of the two-bedroom house, which sleeps five. All units are separate, self-sufficient and the only shared feature is the washer/dryer which is in a common area. I doubt you'll ever bump into other guests.

The unit is very warm and welcoming, decorated in the subtle tones of sands and surf. The open floor plan features a queen sized bed, dining table for four, a sitting area, walk-in closet and a fully functional kitchen. It is outfitted with plenty of dishes, utensils, linens, accessories and small appliances. As it was designed for two persons, there is no dishwasher.
Wireless internet service (WiFi), use of the washer/dryer, TV with cable, beach chairs, linens and towels, are all included. Just bring your vacation clothes, relax and enjoy. Off-street parking is included free of charge for one vehicle in front of the house.
There are so many things to do on Clearwater Beach, you name it, we've got it. Frequent volleyball and other tournaments and contests are held here, and many restaurants and bars feature live music by day and night. Our restaurants have an exceptional assortment of fresh seafood, as the docks are located nearby. There are several golf courses nearby.  For the family, the Clearwater Aquarium, miniature golf courses, street festivals, activities on the Pier, and more are held on a regular basis. Splash Island Water Park is just down the coast on St. Petersburg's beach. Major attractions in Tampa are the Lowry Park Zoo, Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, just to name a few. Within two hours you can get to everything in Orlando: Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Theme Parks and more. Thank you. Joe

What a great spot for a weekend getaway! This house is tucked away on a small residential street just steps away from the beach. The location is out of the hustle and bustle of tourism but close enough to walk to shops and restaurants, etc. The rental was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We would definitely come back. The host (Joe) is an outstanding communicator and was fantastic to work with!

We had a great time staying at this cute property. I can’t say more about the location and having chairs and umbrella available for us to take to the beach was a bonus! Was able to take our dog with us who enjoyed swimming for the first time in the ocean and play with the other dogs which were plenty out there.Everyone on the beach were super friendly as well and it was like hanging out with old friends. My only comment of improvement would be to clean up the grill and downstairs area as it would add even more value to an amazing property!

The property had great beach access. A lot of bug bites, the owner said maybe it was sand fleas?

Hello Nicole, thanks for your visit. I’m sorry to learn of the inconvenience resulting from whatever bit you. When I learned of that I quickly inspected the apartment and found nothing that could have caused that. I also spoke to several guests who were there prior to you and also guests who stayed after you departed. None reported a similar experience. I appreciate you letting me know but all was well in the apartment. Thank you.

Had a great stay. Fantastic location, away from the hustle and bustle of the hotels and condos area of the beach. Just steps away from the beach. Loved it. Also, I’ve stayed at quite a few Vrbos and I must say Joe is the best property manager. Very kind and communicative. I appreciate everything about our stay. Thanks Joe!

Hi Joe. Thanks for the good review. Enjoyed meeting you. For those of you reading this the apartment is actually about 2/3 of a mile to the pier so it’s more than 5 blocks. It is an easy walk that takes about 15 minutes. He’s right about the deck though. It’s a naive place to relax.

About the host

Hosted by Joseph

Host profile image
Just a happy man who wants to make your visit as pleasant and trouble-free as possible.
P.S. - that’s not the rental unit but it is me

Why they chose this property

Its special. The location, the unit itself, (high, vaulted ceilings, skylights) it's other features.; Its very peaceful and private.

What makes this property unique

While it has a view of the water from the attached deck I do not market it as water-view, or waterfront. Its very close to the beach (about 90 steps).
