Property was clean inside and out. Location, location, location was everything. We walked everywhere we went. One block from beach access, 8 min walk to Pier 60, bars and restaurants located all around within 10 min walk. Waking up each morning and having coffee on the dock was peaceful and beautiful. We fished off the dock and caught quite a few fish. We also fished at Pier 60 and caught several fish. The host was quick to respond to my questions before we arrived. Had no issues while there. We used the charcoal grill and enjoyed relaxing in the patio area. Neighborhood was peaceful and we had no issues walking through it during the day or late night. Make sure you bring your groceries if you plan to cook, nearest grocery store 1.5 miles away. If your looking to party or dance a little check out Shepards tiki bar and grill and there night club which is also within walking distance. This location was quite but close enough to enjoy what Clearwater has to offer. Would definitely stay again. My husband and I stayed 4 night's and 5 days at this property and enjoyed every minute.

Peaceful and relaxing

The property was exactly as advertised. The location was within walking distance of places to eat, a huge store for shopping with a cut through to the beach, and live music. The outdoor space was nice. Seating on the dock was perfect. We saw dolphins every morning right after sunrise. There was extra seating in the courtyard and a grill if you wanted to use it. The inside space was clean and cozy. The location was perfect to get in a few extra walking steps each evening. The hosts also provided k-cups, creamer, beach towels, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and extra toilet paper. Would definitely booked again! Thank you for sharing your home.

We had a relaxing and very enjoyable stay. Location was primo... we're able to park and walk everywhere we went. We sat waterside, got some sun, sat in the court yard and got some shade. Very peaceful place to crash while adventuring in Clearwater Beach!

About the host

Hosted by Mickey Moore

Host profile image
I grew up in Oklahoma(BOOMER SOONER!) and Li grew up in mainland China. We met as coworkers in Tampa in 2008 and the rest is history. We both got in to real estate in 2016 and then discovered the vacation rental industry. And we love it!

Our home base is about an hour from the beach. We enjoy our dogs, RV travel, and playing poker(Li is a semi-pro).

Why they chose this property

We always wanted a place near the beach so we jumped on this gem when the opportunity presented itself.

What makes this property unique

Back by the water is sooo relaxing! And the location is perfect for walking everywhere on the island.
