Great Studio - Under 2 minute walk to beach where dogs are welcome
This bright and airy loft apartment, custom built for the owner, sits atop the rear of a two bedroom rental home. It is the 5th home off the beach (a mere 250 feet), and on a one-block long street which ends at the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico, 75 steps away. You enter this unit upstairs from your own large private deck, which has a water view and is complete with table and chairs, umbrella, loungers, and a gas grill. It is an ideal spot for tanning, outdoor dining and get-togethers, and simply enjoying the sunset and gulf breezes. The unit is approximately 500 square feet. It sits atop the rear of the two-bedroom house, which sleeps five. All units are separate, self-sufficient and the only shared feature is the washer/dryer which is in a common area. I doubt you'll ever bump into other guests.
The unit is very warm and welcoming, decorated in the subtle tones of sands and surf. The open floor plan features a queen sized bed, dining table for four, a sitting area, walk-in closet and a fully functional kitchen. It is outfitted with plenty of dishes, utensils, linens, accessories and small appliances. As it was designed for two persons, there is no dishwasher. Wireless internet service (WiFi), use of the washer/dryer, TV with cable, beach chairs, linens and towels, are all included. Just bring your vacation clothes, relax and enjoy. Off-street parking is included free of charge for one vehicle in front of the house. There are so many things to do on Clearwater Beach, you name it, we've got it. Frequent volleyball and other tournaments and contests are held here, and many restaurants and bars feature live music by day and night. Our restaurants have an exceptional assortment of fresh seafood, as the docks are located nearby. There are several golf courses nearby. For the family, the Clearwater Aquarium, miniature golf courses, street festivals, activities on the Pier, and more are held on a regular basis. Splash Island Water Park is just down the coast on St. Petersburg's beach. Major attractions in Tampa are the Lowry Park Zoo, Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, just to name a few. Within two hours you can get to everything in Orlando: Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Theme Parks and more. Thank you. Joe

Excellent location and service support from host was exceptional. The unit has everything you need. Little bit of clutter, organization could go a long way. Great spot if your focus is spending time at the beach. Great short term rental space.

Thanks for your visit and review. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. Take care, Joe
Great place! It had everything we needed and much more for a short weekend stay. The location was fantastic - easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Check in/out process was easy, and communication with the owner was great. Will definitely stay again!
What a great spot for a weekend getaway! This house is tucked away on a small residential street just steps away from the beach. The location is out of the hustle and bustle of tourism but close enough to walk to shops and restaurants, etc. The rental was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We would definitely come back. The host (Joe) is an outstanding communicator and was fantastic to work with!

Hi Rich. Thank you very much. I’m very happy you had such a great experience. I appreciate your kind words. Come back anytime. You’re always welcome here.
We had a great time staying at this cute property. I can’t say more about the location and having chairs and umbrella available for us to take to the beach was a bonus! Was able to take our dog with us who enjoyed swimming for the first time in the ocean and play with the other dogs which were plenty out there.Everyone on the beach were super friendly as well and it was like hanging out with old friends. My only comment of improvement would be to clean up the grill and downstairs area as it would add even more value to an amazing property!

Hi Cori, Thank you for your kind comments. I’m very happy you found everything so pleasant. I’ll pass on the request about the grill. Hope you can make it back sometime soon. Best wishes, Joe
Great place to stay. Perfect location. We had everything we needed. Joe was great to work with and answered all our questions. We would definitely stay again!
The property had great beach access. A lot of bug bites, the owner said maybe it was sand fleas?

Hello Nicole, thanks for your visit. I’m sorry to learn of the inconvenience resulting from whatever bit you. When I learned of that I quickly inspected the apartment and found nothing that could have caused that. I also spoke to several guests who were there prior to you and also guests who stayed after you departed. None reported a similar experience. I appreciate you letting me know but all was well in the apartment. Thank you.
Wonderful apartment! Clean and has everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful time. Steps from the beach. Great deck to sit for morning coffee or evening wine!! Joe is a superb host! Have stayed before and will come back.

Thank you Jami, always a pleasure to have you both here with the little ones. Thanks for taking such good care of the apartment and your return visit. Take care, see you next time.
Had a great stay. Fantastic location, away from the hustle and bustle of the hotels and condos area of the beach. Just steps away from the beach. Loved it. Also, I’ve stayed at quite a few Vrbos and I must say Joe is the best property manager. Very kind and communicative. I appreciate everything about our stay. Thanks Joe!

Thank you Ryan, very kind of you.. You’re very welcome. Your review says it all. I hope to see you on another visit. Enjoy your summer.
Great location to beach and only about 5 blocks from Pier 60. Sit on loft deck in the morning with a cup of coffee. The owner, Joe, is the best. He is available for any issues or questions.

Hi Joe. Thanks for the good review. Enjoyed meeting you. For those of you reading this the apartment is actually about 2/3 of a mile to the pier so it’s more than 5 blocks. It is an easy walk that takes about 15 minutes. He’s right about the deck though. It’s a naive place to relax.
Perfect location on the west side of Mandalay Avenue, literally 5 doors down from the beach. This pet friendly find is a rare gem on North Clearwater Beach. Located near the pet friendly entrance to beach. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The outdoor patio was great for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Looking forward to returning in the near future. Thanks Joseph for the great hospitality.

We had the greatest time at Clearwater Beach. This studio was perfectly located right by the beach and within walking distance of all of the attractions downtown. Joe was the best host. He had great communication and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks Joe!

About the host
Hosted by Joseph
Just a happy man who wants to make your visit as pleasant and trouble-free as possible. P.S. - that’s not the rental unit but it is me
Why they chose this property
Its special. The location, the unit itself, (high, vaulted ceilings, skylights) it's other features.; Its very peaceful and private.
What makes this property unique
While it has a view of the water from the attached deck I do not market it as water-view, or waterfront. Its very close to the beach (about 90 steps).
