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.

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

Host profile image

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.
