By far the cleanest place I’ve stayed at while on vacation! It was amazing. Such a cute place. And the outside seating was amazing. Capt Al was great and so easy to work with. We got in in the middle of the night but everything was set and easy to get to. About a block from the sand and another from the water. It was as close as I’m used to at other states. With never being to Florida the sun burnt me to a crisp. Amazing place over all! Pretty quiet and a unique experience

If you like cottages that are old like I do this is the place for you. Very clean and Al and his crew were very accommodating to whatever you needed. The beach is right down the end of the road which was fantastic! Shops and restaurants are within walking distance which is another plus. Would definitely recommend staying there.

I love these cottages!

High rises and fancy hotels are ok in foreign countries but if you want to experience Clearwater Beach the way it used to be you need to check these out! Wonderful historic cottages lets you feel like you LIVE on the beach instead of just visiting. The staff is great, the cottages are authentic. The feeling is amazing. I've stayed in 5 star hotels - when I visit CW Beach I want to feel like I'm home. Highly recommend for those who want to really relax. I will DEFINITELY stay here again!

The Tiki Hut is a one of a kind experience! Perfect for my needs. Dog friendly, the manager is on site for questions or assistance but he does not make himself a nuisance.

As reviews state the property could use updating but we were comfortable in our stay. The living room space stays much colder than the other rooms when air is on but we bought a fan and directed the air to the other rooms and it worked fine. Captain Al is very responsive to any text messages. The location was great, minimal walk to beach and we could walk to restaurants and shopping

Perfect!

We had no problem finding the place. Plenty of room for six grown adults and older kids to sleep. This property is not directly on the beach but a short walk down a dead-end road to it. Absolutely no problems. We took advantage of the hot tub, and when I asked captain Al a question, he responded very quickly. Great memories were made.

Close to beach

It was very close to the beach, steps away but not on the beach and no view of the beach from cottage. Cottage has some repairs needed for floors, sink holes where we were afraid to step,especially in the kitchen. Sofa bed is really bad but kitchen Murphy bed and bedroom bed is good. Location is great, you can walk to everything. Nice palapa in front yard, great place to sit and people watch.

Clearwater Beach

The evening we arrived another guest had taken our bungalow by mistake. I called Capt Al and he immediately resolved the situation by placing us in the Captain’s House which was an upgrade! The location is perfect! We were within walking distance to restaurants and most importantly to us, the beach that allows dogs. The house is close to the road and yet it is very quiet. We plan to return in the near future and recommend Capt Al’s place to you too!

About the host

Hosted by Capt. Al

Host profile image

Hello Friends and thanks for visiting my profile. Capt.Al has been a property manager for this beach cottages, and vacation rentals in Clearwater Beach for 15 years. Originally from New Jersey, I have always dreamed of living at the beach. When you come to visit, my first mate Karen, and myself will be happy to show you around, and how to have the best beach vacation ever.

Why they chose this property

This is really the very last real beach cottages left in Clearwater Beach on the beach side of Mandalay ave. It is just a rare piece of Old Florida History, just like Palm Pavillion ( First Bath House in Florida). While most old historic hotels and properties have been torn down, the Cottages still stand. It's like vacationing when you were a kid,, or camping, where the Guest get to mingle in the common back yard with wood party deck and tin roof gazebo. Sit aat the Tiki Hut and watch the Tourist and Local skateboard or bicycle by.

What makes this property unique

Sleep a family of 6 for the price of hotel room, and save a ton on meals, with Weber BBQ grill and full kitchen. This is a house, not a hotel room, so you can feel at home. It is a one bedroom house with Murphy wall bed in kitchen, with door, and queen sofabed in living room, Not a two bedroom, but a great value.and central Air conditioning and Central Heat.
