This condo was perfect for us! Everything was very clean, plenty of space as well. Short walk to the beach or to any restaurants. The chair/table combos on the outside patio area were excellent to enjoy the canal. Clearwater Beach has become a VERY busy place and this condo gets you back out of all the extreme crowds.

About the host

Hosted by Kit & Gary Elert

Host profile image
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 nine 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. 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 condo faces the Bay so you rarely hear the nightlife once you're back in the condo.

What makes this property unique

The first thing we did after purchasing our condo was to hire a carpenter to do a major renovation and an interior designer to create an upscale coastal concept. We are thrilled with the results and hope you will be too! The patio, pool, sundeck, and dock all overlook the bay. You'll see gorgeous sunrises and dolphins playing right from your dining room window!
