We had a wonderful time at the property and enjoyed all of the walking distance attractions. You are so close to the beach and dozens of restaurants and bars. The cottage was a perfect home base for exploring Clearwater Beach. We’ll definitely be returning, this place is a gem!

Walk everywhere you want extremely convenient to restaurants and the beach! Brought my 2 labs and they had a great time. They are 10 yrs old so the 1 level cottage was perfect. Will definitely stay here again.

Cute Place
The cottage was cute and well-kept. Actually a little bigger than we expected. I feel like better photos could be taken to allow families to know they wouldn't be as cramped as you think you will be due to photos. We were excited to use the hot-tub for our 6 & 8 year old, but once we got there the information was provided that no children under 8 were allowed in the hot tub, which would have been nice to know prior. The backyard area was nice, but unfortunately no one else was out there when we stayed. We were hoping for other families to be there, but obviously couldn't be controlled. Close to the beach, and had sand toys for the kids. My kids loved the pool across the street, but it is not free, you get a discount for staying there. Came out out like $5 for the whole family.

Beach trip
This is very very very overpriced for what you get. Sleeps 7 but so tight you can hardly move. One hot tub was broken, location is just okay. I thought this was beach views and it was not. Not well maintained baseboards dirty not enough pillows so be sure to bring your own and our neighbor next to us said she found a roach in the bathroom. Would not stay here again even if it was half the price.

Perfect Location
Couldn't be happier with our stay. The location was perfect. Close enough that all of the attractions were convenient, but far enough away from the main tourist area that we weren't fighting crowds. We have a 7 month old puppy, and the acceptance of pets was important. The space was cozy with the cottage feel as described. The kitchen had everything we needed. The back yard provided a nice shaded and quiet location for morning breakfast, and an evening cocktail. Best of all I can confirm that the beach is 100 steps away. The staff was attentive and quick to respond and help, wether it was with fresh linens and towels when requested, or to provide assistance when locked out of the unit. Thank you Capt. AL and staff. Thank you Capt. A

Perfect Location, eclectec decor, small and cozy
Our family of six (2 Adults, 4 kids) rented this cute cottage for a week to get away from the -3 degree freezing temperatures in Chicago. The decor at the cottage was very eclectic, and we liked that the bedroom had plaid curtains on one window and palm tree curtains on the other window. It had a very laid back beachy vibe. It was not pretentious in the least. We were able to walk to many places to eat within a few minutes. It was easy to walk over to the beach and watch the nightly sunset, since it was so nearby. There was a small patio with a couple chairs right out our back door, which was nice to put the kids out on for breakfast. There was no way that we could have eaten as a family inside the cottage since the kitchen table was very tiny and only had 2 chairs. However, there was a kitchen, stove and fridge, so making a simple breakfast was possible. The cottage was a bit quirky; but in a practical minimalist sort of way. The sleeping situation included a Murphy bed off of the kitchen ( in the room that doubled as the dining room.) and a pull out vintage sofa bed in the living room. When these two beds were open and being used, there was literally only a small path and no other place to move in those two rooms. Not a deal breaker, but I wish I would have realized how close together we were going to be. The staff and Captain Al responded very quickly when we arrived and I had a concern. They went above and beyond to remedy the situation and were friendly at every encounter we had with them.

Amazing vacation!
The cottage was a great location! With 2 little kids it was so easy to walk right down to the beach. The area of the beach wasn’t super crowded. We parked our car and we’re able to walk to everything we did all weekend (gas station for drinks, restaurants, shops, etc.) Capt Al had an amazing selection of beach items we were able to use, which helped with the amount of items we had to bring. The cottage was clean and cute. We didn’t spend much time there because there was so much to do, but we enjoyed the time we were there. Housekeeping stopped and asked if we needed anything. Capt Al walked past a few times and checked in. It was a very welcoming and a fun stay! We are excited to come back!
