Pink Gulfside cottage.

Excellent location. Easy walk to all the activities we were looking for. The cottage was a little dark with the shades and the bathroom shows its age, but rest of the cottage was perfect.

Great little beach cottage

The location is perfect for whatever you want to do. It's close to the beach, restaurants and shops but it's a couple streets north of the hustle and bustle so the street is quiet. Capt. Al responds by text quickly and will do whatever he can up make your trip work for you.

Perfect beach bungalow

We tend to visit clearwater about 6 times a year and after staying here this time i am so upset i never found it before! The owners and employees were so welcoming and friendly but werent pushy like anywhere else you stay! Also, the amount of items necessary for a day at the beach was an extra bonus i didnt know we needed. Absolutely recommend 100% and will be staying here again!!

We loved staying here. It is just steps from the beach. It was so quiet, we never heard our neighbors. Very easy to get around. I definitely recommend staying here! Capt. Al was great to work with and only a call away if we needed him.

The right way to enjoy Clearwater Beach

Capt. Al treats you like an old friend. The location can't be beat. Beach towels, chairs, bicycles, and the real feel of being in a Florida Beach House. Who could ask for more.

This property was absolutely perfect for our girls trip. Super close to everything. We walked everywhere. The staff was SUPER friendly and accommodating. We could not have had a better location! If you want a relaxed environment with everything you need (beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, floats, tents, towels, etc) then this is your place.

Amazing cottage for an amazing price

This is a great cottage for familes that can get along in tight quarters. We stayed in the Gulfside cottage and had 4 adults and a toddler. We were able to make it work, but you have to be okay with little privacy. Beach was beautiful and never too crowded. Main strip of restaurants, bars, and shops are less than a 10 min walk away. The staff made us feel welcomed and made sure we had everything we needed.

Great location! Steps from the beach.

We had a wonderful time. Very short walk to the beach. The location can not be beat. Cute cottages. We stayed in one and a friend stayed in another. The kiddos were safely running between. They are very nice old cottages. Cant beat the location. Capt. AL always responded. Thank you! We had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Capt. Al

Host profile image
Dear Friends:
Thanks for visiting the owner profile. Originally from New Jersey, I would enjoy Spring Break in Florida for years. . Now 50 years, later, I am fortunate to live in this tropical island, My self and first mate Karen from California, enjoy swimming in warm water, fine local resturants, and congenial like minded neighbors who all enjoy the Salt Life. When you come to visit, we hope to show you around and help you have a great beach vacation,

Why they chose this property

While most historic hotels and and cottages been torn down and replaced with new ritzy hotels and condos the owners of the Old Florida District have fixed up the 1925 cottages and rooming houses into fine vacation rentals. These 3 blocks are literally the last few streets left with vacation rentals from days gone by.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy that Old Florida feeling where guests sit on the porch and enjoy a drink, say hello when you walk by, and have real Florida vacation. Enjoy an entire house for the price of hotel room and save a ton cooking in the updates kitchens Great for families with lots of kids Has shared tropical key west style backyard where you can chill out after your day on the beach.
The Key West style recreation area has a massive Ficus tree that sheds its leaves daily and Capt Al loves his Nautical Stuff around. The area is not manicured and some picky fussy guest have said so, so if you don t like my junk just stay at the Hilton Sandpearl or other expensive hotels with all concrete for twice the price.
