Overall, we had a good experience staying at this property and would likely do it again. The location is great, easy walking distance to many restaurants, literally right across the street from the beach. Also other properties charge $30+/day to park, so 6 days of not paying for parking was great.
The pool needed to be cleaned. The filter in the bottom of the deep end was completely covered in paper and other misc. things (including hair). There was someone that came by to skim the top of the pool but the water did not feel as clean as it should have been.
The room was spacious. The decor (and the property, in general) was dated but nothing too bad. The futon bed was surprisingly comfortable, as was the queen been. There was a sign on a little pole inside the room saying to please make sure you return the beach chairs when you're done, but there were no chairs to be found. The owner said they do not provide chairs. Perhaps they should remove the little area that says "beach chairs" inside the unit then....
For the money, I felt this property represented a very good value and I would stay here again. There are nicer, fancier properties out there, but this one checks enough of the boxes for us that I would do it again. During the night of our last evening there the bath tub from the unit above ours started to leak into our unit. We contacted maintenance and they came in immediately and addressed it. They were courteous and professional, just like the owner and the people at the front desk.
Overall, we felt this was a positive experience and we would stay here again. It's not the most luxurious place on Clearwater Beach but you're close to everything, can comfortably sleep 4 people, have a big pool right outside your door, and are literally steps from the beach. And, of course, parking is included.
For budget-minded travelers that want to be right in the thick of things without paying an arm and a leg, I would give this property a good hard look.
