About this property

Dockside 204 + Dockside 205 = Dockside Duo! Double the space, double the fun! Two beautiful 2BR/2BA side-by-side condos in the heart of Clearwater Beach. Perfect for two families with kids or four couples traveling together. We’re right on the bay and a 3-minute walk from beautiful Clearwater Beach with its sugar sand beach, beachwalk, restaurants, shops, nightlife and more! We provide a beach wagon in each condo so that you can easily transport items to/from the beach!

Combined, there are four large bedrooms, four full bathrooms, two kitchens, two dining rooms, and two living rooms. Three of the bedrooms have king-size beds (one with a twin bed as well), and the other bedroom has two queen-size beds. Each bedroom suite is on the opposite side of the kitchen/dining room/living room, so perfect for privacy. Each living room also has a very comfortable sleeper sofa. There is a shared balcony with tables and chairs – perfect for drinking morning coffee or an evening cocktail while overlooking the bay and watching the dolphins and manatees play! A grill is also available for your use.

Both condos are newly remodeled and exquisitely designed with a coastal/beach theme. Each condo includes all the conveniences of home -- plus some! All bedrooms have large closets, dressers, flat-screen TVs, and nightstands. In each condo, there is a bathroom with a tub/shower and another with a walk-in shower. There are also hotel-style safes in each condo and you can set your own passcode.

The fully-functioning kitchens includes stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, dishes, pots, pans, and all the utensils you need to make your own meals or enjoy take-out food from any of the several nearby restaurants. A full-size washer and dryer, large closets, a flat-screen TV with Roku streaming, a DVD player, WiFi, high-speed Internet, and free parking are all included in each condo. The swimming pool and sundeck overlook the bay and are shared with the Clearwater Beach Hotel next door.

We supply beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and beach towels that you are welcome to take to the beach or pool.

Non-smoking guests only please. Sorry, no pets. Our cleaning personnel follow all CDC cleaning and sanitation procedures.

NOTE: Each 2BR/2BA condo can also be booked individually, when available. In the search field at the top of the VRBO page, search for 1216483 (Dock of the Bay) or 1818575 (Dock Holiday) to check availability and book either condo separately. (The video in this listing is for Dock Holiday; go to the Dock of the Bay listing to check out that video as well!)

Family Vacation

Dockside Duo was such a good find for us! We were all able to be together (5 adults, 2 children) but still give our daughter and her family their own space for the kids’ naps/bedtime. We were close enough to the attractions and shopping areas but not in the thick of the traffic and noise in the area. The walk to the beach was easy, and the owners provided chairs, towels, a small cooler and even a “sand wagon” to transport it in. Having a swimming pool on property as an option for a quick cooling off was an added bonus. Looking out over the water in the mornings and evenings was such a pleasure for all of us too. Can’t say enough about the owner’s responsiveness and attention to detail throughout both units. We would absolutely plan a stay here again.

After Christmas Getaway

We rented the side by side condos for our group of 11. The condos were just as the pictures described. Everything was very clean and we had a few supplies to hold us over until we got our groceries. The welcome basket was so thoughtful. It had snacks and wine. The owners were very easy to reach and super responsive if we had a question. The place is in the perfect location to walk to the beach or walk around the beach area. We walked everywhere and it was so easy to get to the beach with the wagons and chairs that were provided. We were all thoroughly impressed and had such a great time. We are hoping to book for next year as well.

Family Trip

The dockside duo was the perfect space for our family of 7. Having the 2 condos back to back was so convenient. Perfect walking distance to pier 60 and Beach Walk. Traveling with 2 toddlers it was great to have high chairs and pack and plays available. Plus all the beach supplies available at our fingertips. Kit kept communication open and was accommodating allowing us to check in a couple hours early the day of our arrival. This was our first time booking through VRBO and I couldn’t be more pleased with our choice.

Beautiful property

Dockside Duo condos were everything that was advertised and more. Very clean, beautifully decorated and great location. So many things to do and within walking distance to so many great restaurants and shops and most importantly to the beach. We loved our stay and will be back again.

About the host

Hosted by Kit & Gary Elert

Gary and I are from the Midwest and knew that once our kids were off to college that we wanted to live someplace warm during the winter months! We had visited Clearwater Beach several times over the years, so chose to rent a condo for a month back in 2012. We liked it so much, we rented for three months the next year and five months the following year. At that point, we knew that Clearwater Beach was where we wanted to stay, so we bought a house on North Clearwater Beach and now live there eight months of the year.

Why they chose this property

In 2017, we decided to invest in a condo that we could use when family and friends came to visit, plus rent out to guests looking for a great beach vacation and/or to check out Clearwater Beach for a potential winter vacation spot, just like we did years ago. We looked at several buildings, but selected Dockside Condominiums because of its superb proximity to the beach, shops, restaurants, marina, and other local attractions. Since our first condo was so popular, we decided to invest in a second condo in 2019. We purposefully purchased the condo directly next to our existing condo to accommodate multiple families traveling together. Families can maintain privacy by being in two separate condos, but enjoy the benefits of being side-by-side for easy planning and adverturous! You can walk anywhere and you will hardly need a car except to explore areas off the beach. Though we're in the heart of the Beach, our condos face the Bay so you rarely hear the nightlife once you turn in for the night.

What makes this property unique

The balconies, patio, pool, sundeck, and docks all overlook the bay. You'll see gorgeous sunrises and dolphins playing right from your dining room windows!
