We were very pleased with this condo. The layout is nice, and it was clean and nicely decorated. The view of the bay from our balcony was beautiful. The beach is an easy 5 minute walk, and there are lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. There were plenty of beach towels and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could possibly have needed. Communication with the hosts was excellent from booking to checkout.

Great communication. Beautiful, incredibly clean condo. So close to everything you’d want to do in Clearwater! Nice view of the marina and easy parking. We can’t wait to come back! My daughter’s friend also left her AirPods, their cleaning person was honest when she found them. The host mailed them to us. Thank you again for everything!

Excellent location with relaxing view as well as walking distance to the beach and several nice restaurants and bars. Clean and spacious apartment with all ammenities needed to have comfortable family vacation. Spacious parking place. 7-10 minutes drive to a Publix store, 20-30 min to Costco, 35-40 minutes to Tampa airport (of course depending on the trafic). Also, very attentive and eager to accommodate hosts. Strongly recommend!

We're happy you enjoyed our condo! We're also sorry that your recent knee injury made the 1.5-block walk to the beach seem extra long. We hope to see you back in the future!
My family and I had a fantastic week at this location. It was clean, convenient, great communication from our host. Very short walk to everywhere. We will definitely return for our next Clearwater trip!
This property was perfect for our vacation. The condo is conveniently located and has plenty of room inside. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need. If we visit Clearwater again, we would definitely consider staying here.
Dock Holiday is just perfect. Perfect location! We were able to walk everywhere. We got to see dolphins every morning in the cove. The condo was clean and had all the amenities we needed.
We loved our stay at Dock Holiday. The place was so cute, clean, and within a short walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Our rental also included everything we needed for our vacation from washer and dryer, dishwasher, to extra blankets, and all the beach necessities (chairs, umbrella, wagon etc). If we come back to Clearwater, we will definitely stay here. Highly recommend!
Would stay again ! Very clean. This is the most well stocked and thought out rental I have stayed in. Photos very accurate! They have everything you need. Kit was so welcoming and responsive to any questions , and the check-in /checkout process was so easy. I stayed with my family, including three boys under the age of seven. They even provided a toddler bed on request. They had a step stool for the bathroom a high chair for use- no renting baby- anything needed! The walk to the beach was about five minutes. The property included a beach cart, couple chairs, and an umbrella, which is all we really needed. There were plenty of towels. Laundry accessibility in the unit was a must and that came in so handy! They even provided detergent. The kitchen was so well stocked (spices, oil, you name it) which was helpful to whip up a quick breakfast or picnics for the beach. There were plenty of DoorDash options for groceries or dinner if you didn’t want to leave. The rooms were adequate with appropriate bedding and pillows that were comfortable. The board games were a nice touch as we sat around the table and played every evening after being in the sun all day. We created some amazing memories this week and a lot of it was because we were so comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Kit & Gary Elert
We fell in love with Clearwater Beach the same way many of our guests do—one vacation at a time!
Gary and I are originally from the Midwest, and once our kids headed off to college, we knew we wanted to escape the cold winters. After several visits to Clearwater Beach, we rented a condo here for a month in 2012. We loved it so much that one month became three the next year, then five the year after that. By then, we knew Clearwater Beach was where we wanted to be.
We eventually bought a home on North Clearwater Beach and now spend most of the year here.
We personally own and manage our vacation rentals, so when you stay with us, you're communicating directly with the owners—not a large property management company. Because we live right here on the island, we're happy to share our favorite restaurants, activities, and local tips, and we're nearby if you need us.
We hope you'll fall in love with Clearwater Beach just as we did!
Why they chose this property
We chose Dockside because it offers the best of both worlds—a peaceful waterfront setting and an incredibly walkable Clearwater Beach location.
In 2017, we purchased and renovated our first condo here, Dock of the Bay, after touring several buildings in Clearwater Beach. Dockside won us over with its beautiful harbor setting and unbeatable location—just a five-minute walk to the sugar-white sand, with Pier 60, restaurants, shops, the marina, activities, and entertainment all within easy walking distance.
Guests loved Dock of the Bay, so when the condo right next door became available in 2019, we jumped at the opportunity. We purchased it, completed another major renovation, and Dock Holiday was born.
We love that guests can enjoy the quieter harbor side of Clearwater Beach while still being close enough to walk almost everywhere. You can park the car—or skip the rental car altogether—and enjoy your vacation on foot.
And because Dock Holiday and Dock of the Bay are side by side, larger families and groups can also reserve both together as Dockside Duo.
What makes this property unique
What makes Dock Holiday special is the combination of an upscale, thoughtfully designed condo, flexible sleeping arrangements, and a peaceful waterfront setting in the heart of Clearwater Beach.
After purchasing the condo in 2019, we completed a major renovation with the help of a professional carpenter and interior designer, creating a comfortable, upscale coastal retreat. With one KING bedroom and a second bedroom with TWO QUEEN beds, Dock Holiday is especially well suited for families, couples, and friends traveling together.
Step outside and the waterfront experience continues. The heated pool, sundeck, picnic area, and dock all overlook the harbor. Enjoy beautiful sunrises, watch the boats pass by, and keep an eye out for dolphins and manatees.
We’ve also tried to anticipate the little things that make a beach vacation easier—from a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds to beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, and a beach wagon ready for the short walk to the sand.
Best of all, you can enjoy a peaceful harbor setting while being just a short walk from the beach, Pier 60, restaurants, shops, and everything Clearwater Beach has to offer.
