Memorial Weekend
Captain Al was great—very accommodating to our needs...came around and checked on us periodically to see how we were doing. They have a lot of things to use so you don’t have to bring much. The outside shower at the yellow cottage was nice having for when you get back from the beach. It’s an old building with a lot of charm, so it’s definitely not a resort, but if that’s what your looking for then this is the perfect place. The front tiki hut area was great for eating, People watching, and just hanging out. It’s also kid friendly. We brought our 5, 4, and 1 year old and they loved the tiki hut area and enjoyed being so close to the beach.
Awesome beach house
Great locatiom. Great vintage beach house

About Capt. Al
Hello Friends and thanks for visiting my profile. Capt.Al has been a property manager for this beach cottages, and vacation rentals in Clearwater Beach for 13 years. Originally from New Jersey, I have always dreamed of living at the beach. When you come to visit, my first mate Karen, and myself will be happy to show you around, and how to have the best beach vacation ever. I love to cruise the strip in the Golf Cart at night, or take guest out on my new 21 foot runabout. Hope to see you soon.
Capt. Al purchased this House in 2005
Why Capt. Al chose Clearwater Beach
This is really the very last real beach cottages left in Clearwater Beach on the beach side of Mandalay ave. It is just a rare piece of Old Florida History, just like Palm Pavillion ( First Bath House in Florida). While most old historic hotels and properties have been torn down, the Cottages still stand. It's like vacationing when you were a kid,, or camping, where the Guest get to mingle in the common back yard with wood party deck and tin roof gazebo. Sit aat the Tiki Hut and watch the Tourist and Local skateboard or bicycle by.
What makes this House unique
Sleep a family of 6 for the price of hotel room, and save a ton on meals, with Weber BBQ grill and full kitchen. This is a house, not a hotel room, so you can feel at home. It is a one bedroom house with Murphy wall bed in kitchen, with door, and queen sofabed in living room, Not a two bedroom, but a great value.and central Air conditioning and Central Heat.
