North Beach Clearwater- Captain Al

My family and I had a great time at Captain Al's, Captains bungalow. The best part was access to the beach! My kids, parents and I could walk to many great restaurants. We were also able to cook and eat at the house. Plenty of room for three teenage girls to find their own space. Overall it was a great trip! We'll be back!

Great location!

Park your car and then forget about it. We loved that we could walk everywhere. We even enjoyed a walk to the Aquarium but there isn’t a lot of shade so if you are having a really hot day maybe take caution, we walked with a nice breeze and mid 70 degree weather.

Almost Awesome

Honestly, it was great except the floor plan was insane so there was no barrier between rooms. Literally, all the rooms were connected and there was zero privacy. I just think that should be known upfront. I probably would not have minded if I had known upfront but we had a baby so everytime the baby napped everyone had to be absolutely quite. There was no room that we could isolate the baby in. I would have chosen a different condo if I had known. And the pictures of the place were from a different rental. Really frustrating. There would be nothing wrong with the rental if everything had been known upfront. It felt misleading

A month on the beach

We spent most of February in this cute beach house and really enjoyed our stay. While there aren't a lot of fancy frills to the house, the kitchen was great, the beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed. The internet was fast enough to support two kids in online school and two adults working remotely. Captain Al was great and fixed any issues we had right away! We hope to be back!

Location can’t be beat! Funky historic cottage.

This cottage is full of character and the location is terrific- just steps to the beach. Captain Al is so nice and responsive- easy to access. The kitchen has updated appliances - and overall this is a great place for a low maintenance beach place with room for six. The pizza place across the street was really great so make sure to try that as well. Thanks Captain!

Funky Little Courage

Great location - able to walk everywhere fun. It is on the corner of a busy street, so there is road noise. Also there is a night club across the street that got noisy at times. If you like historical homes, this is for you! I enjoyed trying to determine the original house as built in the 1920s vs. s as it stands today. The layout is cozy, having to pass through bedrooms to get out the back door. The ceilings are low. None this was a problem though. My only complaint were the floors that were sticky and turned the bottoms of our feet black. Also something in the front room smells of urine. Those are easy to fix.
