Relaxing get-away

Amazing quiet location, yet walking distance to attractions. Located right on the canal allowed for endless dolphin sightings! We will definitely be back SOON!

.4th of July

.This apartment was perfect for me and my husband. Clean, location is perfect. We stay here on the 4th of July and seen the fireworks display from the water deck and didn’t have to fight the crowds down town! We also seen dolphins almost every morning swimming in the canal! I definitely will stay here again.

We had a wonderful week long stay here. Our apartment was right on the inter-coastal. We looked out our living room and bedroom windows and just saw water. The place has plenty of closet and drawer space so it is easy to unpack. It is a great location just a few blocks from Clearwater Beach and the restaurants downtown. Parking is right out front and we never had an issue finding a space. Check in and Check Out was easy. There are new Pickle Ball courts a couple of blocks away if you have that interest. The apartment building was very quiet and there were no issues. The WiFi worked fine. We would definitely rent again if we are in Clearwater.

Rental on the water

Very happy with location. Loved being next to water and beach one block away. Many good meals but love The Beachcomber restaurant, very special. Bed was comfortable and extra blankets and pillows. Shower was aimed at the wall so very ez for water to leak on floor. Found out at check in that building was just painted and our east windows had plastic covering them the entire stay which was too bad. It was windy so they rattled like crazy.

Hi Kathy! Thank you so much for your 5/5 review. We are so glad you had a great time! With that being said, there should not have been any surprises regarding the building being painted. I have this message on my listings (towards the bottom) stating: "Please note, this property is currently undergoing some renovations, including exterior and interior painting and general remodeling." If you would have made it known to us that the plastic was rattling on the window we would have made every effort to rectify the situation. We apologize about that, but again, we did not know. Hopefully you can travel to Clearwater Beach again in the near future and give that gorgeous view another try!
