Great little cozy spot in Clearwater. Very clean and the dock is a nice spot to have morning coffee or evening night caps. Only thing is you need to have the ceiling fan on when cooking in order to prevent the smoke alarm from going off.

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.
