About this property

It’s a "Shore" Thing; Hidden Gem, Vacation's Elixir

Complex Avalon build in year 2000 is calling you to come and enjoy true relaxation in a prime location with outstanding amenities.
Once you arrive, the only thing between you and the Gulf of Mexico are beautiful scenaries and water. Getting to and from the beach has never been easier… cross the bridge, down the boardwalk and there you will arrive at one of the most beautiful beaches on the Florida panhandle (the famous turquoise gulf waters and finest white sand you will ever imagine!) where visitors and locals come to visit. And you have it all at your fingertips.

The Complex is only a short ten minute drive to Tampa, while Orlando is within a one hour and half drive, centrally located for everyone's needs.

Whether you prefer quaint beach villages to stroll through with small shops and restaurants or larger shopping venues and modern amenities, it’s all located nearby from this optimal location.

Situated in a quiet, secluded and gated community, Avalon at Clearwater in Florida’s Tampa Bay is located at 3.3. KM to the beach (about a 10-minute drive), an area known as one of the best places to be on the Gulf of Mexico.

This unit located in Building 1240 is Perfect for couples and will make you feel treated while also offering all the convenience and comfort of home living. Everything you need is right here.
The main living area has comfortable seating, a flat screen TV for your viewing enjoyment and the kitchen is fully equipped and ready to go. Whether you are making a full-blown dinner for the family or a quick lunch to take to the beach, everything you need is right there including refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave.

The bedroom features a comfortable queen size bed with quality linens. A sofa air bed sleeper with upgraded mattress provides room for two more family members or guests. The condo also includes a washer and dryer for your convenience.

Choose to eat out at amazing nearby restaurants (many in walking distance) or eat in and watch the greens (even a palm tree) right from your balcony.
The property is naturally lush but professionally landscaped giving it a clean look while maintaining a peaceful and relaxed feel.
A private community swimming pool, lawn area and patio with grill complete the courtyard of the property providing even more ways to make your stay fun and flexible.
The atmosphere at the pool is very family friendly and you will feel welcome from the very first day.
As for the Beach: "Clearwater Beach", Named again #1 Beach in the U.S. in 2019 (also 2016 and 2018) because of the quartz-white sand and warm Gulf waters... puts you right in the middle of outstanding dining options, plus shopping and entertainment selections you’ll rarely find in one place.
You will never get tired of eating at the same places because there are many fine dining and other eating establishments to find. You will also find many quaint shops, art
galleries, and live concerts and festivals along this few miles road.

If you enjoy the outdoors, besides biking, this area has great golfing, fishing, and many other outdoor activities. A short drive will give you many choices of activities to please anyone.

Finally, listen to the birds and enjoy the great outdoors from your private balcony as you enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail.

You will have the vacation of a lifetime and you'll be coming back time and time again!!!

If you need a bigger place, please take a look at our second Unit for rent under: VRBO Listing #7346839 on the first Floor with description: “Hmmm...Peace and Tranquility! Nothing but Relax”(15'from St-Pete Airport and 7' to the beach)

Loved Carmen's Place!
This is our second time renting from Carmen. As was the case before, she was a great host. While we stayed in the same complex , which is called the Avalon, this time we had a smaller unit. It was comfortable, well equipped with cookware, utensils, small appliances, pool chairs and linens. However, as per Carmen’s VRBO listing, there are a few stairs which , at 68, we had no issues with. More importantly, Avalon is a well situated gated complex with easy access to shopping, golf and the beaches. It also has a nice pool and a good gym. We plan on renting again from Carmen in 2025 and have no hesitation in recommending any of her units.

First time stay
We had a fabulous stay at Avalon. We rented a one bedroom studio suite from Alex and Carmen and it had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and accommodating. Carmen was always very quick to respond to any questions since the initial booking back in September 2023. The location was perfect for us being close to restaurants, Publix grocery store, within walking distance to parts, and less than 10 minutes to Clearwater beach by Uber. We also enjoyed the people we met staying at Avalon along with the heated pool. Thank you Carmen and Alex for being such wonderful hosts.

Amazing place to stay
This was a wonderful unit. There was nothing I needed to go buy to make my stay better. The owner was very responsive and extremely nice. Great location if you’re visiting Saint Petersburg, and Tampa. Beach is like 10 min away. Grocery and department stores very close. Very reasonably priced. Property is well kept. Pool area is very nice also. I really can’t recommend this place enough! 5 stars. The only thing I would warn is if your used to a soft bed this does not have one. It’s a beautiful bed but we are used to a very soft mattress. Everything else was above my expectations. Carmen is very helpful with any info you need.

Excellent Experience
The property was beautiful, and the grounds were immaculate. The pool area was really nice and clean. The location is convenient to restaurants and a grocery store. Only ten minutes to the beach also. The owner of the condo was very kind and responded immediately to any questions we had. Great experience all the way around!

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Carmen and I’ve been a host for the last two years and I love every minute.
I hold a “Super Host” designation on AIRBNB and a “Premier Host” with VRBO, attesting we are experienced, highly rated hosts who are committed to providing great stays for our guests.
In my role, I help make sure each and every one of my guests gets the most wonderful experience and benefits you are entitled to. I am sure you’ll agree that’s important! It is also important for us to be credible and reliable. You count on me to offer a great experience and I keep it all straight to make sure everyone gets the right attention. In order to work smart, we also make sure that our processes are efficient and we are in communication when needed. This is important in this industry that grows at this rate all over the word. We want to ensures that we do everything right from the start.
On a personal note, I was born in Romania, married my husband 25 years ago, and lived good years in Holland and Montreal. For nearly 20 years now, we’ve made Toronto our home. We love to travel, and have seen the world: Holland Belgium, Germany, Cyprus, Egypt, Panama, Bahamas, Venezuela, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, the US and all of eastern Canada… but really, there is no place like home with your family!
We have seen our fair share of hotels and Airbnb/Vrbo houses and can’t wait to “virtually” meet our fellow travelers and provide them with the same hospitality that we have been shown in many countries.
Thank you for checking out our places at Clearwater, I’m always looking forward to hosting great people. Reach out to me to see if we can be of assistance for your next vacation or business trip.
