Great Studio - Under 2 minute walk to beach where dogs are welcome
This bright and airy loft apartment, custom built for the owner, sits atop the rear of a two bedroom rental home. It is the 5th home off the beach (a mere 250 feet), and on a one-block long street which ends at the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico, 75 steps away. You enter this unit upstairs from your own large private deck, which has a water view and is complete with table and chairs, umbrella, loungers, and a gas grill. It is an ideal spot for tanning, outdoor dining and get-togethers, and simply enjoying the sunset and gulf breezes. The unit is approximately 500 square feet. It sits atop the rear of the two-bedroom house, which sleeps five. All units are separate, self-sufficient and the only shared feature is the washer/dryer which is in a common area. I doubt you'll ever bump into other guests.
The unit is very warm and welcoming, decorated in the subtle tones of sands and surf. The open floor plan features a queen sized bed, dining table for four, a sitting area, walk-in closet and a fully functional kitchen. It is outfitted with plenty of dishes, utensils, linens, accessories and small appliances. As it was designed for two persons, there is no dishwasher. Wireless internet service (WiFi), use of the washer/dryer, TV with cable, beach chairs, linens and towels, are all included. Just bring your vacation clothes, relax and enjoy. Off-street parking is included free of charge for one vehicle in front of the house. There are so many things to do on Clearwater Beach, you name it, we've got it. Frequent volleyball and other tournaments and contests are held here, and many restaurants and bars feature live music by day and night. Our restaurants have an exceptional assortment of fresh seafood, as the docks are located nearby. There are several golf courses nearby. For the family, the Clearwater Aquarium, miniature golf courses, street festivals, activities on the Pier, and more are held on a regular basis. Splash Island Water Park is just down the coast on St. Petersburg's beach. Major attractions in Tampa are the Lowry Park Zoo, Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, just to name a few. Within two hours you can get to everything in Orlando: Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Theme Parks and more. Thank you. Joe

Great location close to the beach and included chairs and an umbrella. Owner was great and helped out with anything needed. Would definitely stay there again.
The location was great. We parked the car and didn't drive it for the 7 days that we were there. Everything was within walking distance. Linens were all provided. Well stocked kitchen. We could have easily moved in. Thanks Joe, for an enjoyable week.

Hi Peter, thank you for the wonderful review. I’m glad you had a great experience. I giggled about your comment about being able to move in. That is always my goal when outfitting the units. o me back soon. I’ll probably have more new stuff in there. See you next time. Joe
A clean older property but ideal ... Joe was very responsive to any questions we had. Very close to the beach. Nice deck area to relax with morning coffee

Awesome, thank you. Ideal is good. Take care. Come back soon.
We had an amazing week staying at Joe’s property at Clearwater Beach. Joe responded quickly to any questions we had. Everything you need for the beach is there. It is a quick walk to the beautiful beach. Chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach cart if you want it. The kitchen had a drip coffee maker, a Keurig and an electric tea kettle. Laundry facilities are also available which really helps. We ran into Joe several times and he was so nice. Walking distance to all the restaurants and a great deck to hang on. The area is quiet and peaceful. Looking forward to returning. Thanks so much Joe!

Hi Jeff. You are so welcome. Thanks you. It was a pleasure meeting you both. You are welcome here anytime so I’ll look forward to your next visit.
Excellent location and service support from host was exceptional. The unit has everything you need. Little bit of clutter, organization could go a long way. Great spot if your focus is spending time at the beach. Great short term rental space.

Thanks for your visit and review. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. Take care, Joe
Great place! It had everything we needed and much more for a short weekend stay. The location was fantastic - easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Check in/out process was easy, and communication with the owner was great. Will definitely stay again!
Great place to stay. Perfect location. We had everything we needed. Joe was great to work with and answered all our questions. We would definitely stay again!
What a great spot for a weekend getaway! This house is tucked away on a small residential street just steps away from the beach. The location is out of the hustle and bustle of tourism but close enough to walk to shops and restaurants, etc. The rental was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We would definitely come back. The host (Joe) is an outstanding communicator and was fantastic to work with!

Hi Rich. Thank you very much. I’m very happy you had such a great experience. I appreciate your kind words. Come back anytime. You’re always welcome here.
We had a great time staying at this cute property. I can’t say more about the location and having chairs and umbrella available for us to take to the beach was a bonus! Was able to take our dog with us who enjoyed swimming for the first time in the ocean and play with the other dogs which were plenty out there.Everyone on the beach were super friendly as well and it was like hanging out with old friends. My only comment of improvement would be to clean up the grill and downstairs area as it would add even more value to an amazing property!

Hi Cori, Thank you for your kind comments. I’m very happy you found everything so pleasant. I’ll pass on the request about the grill. Hope you can make it back sometime soon. Best wishes, Joe
The property had great beach access. A lot of bug bites, the owner said maybe it was sand fleas?

Hello Nicole, thanks for your visit. I’m sorry to learn of the inconvenience resulting from whatever bit you. When I learned of that I quickly inspected the apartment and found nothing that could have caused that. I also spoke to several guests who were there prior to you and also guests who stayed after you departed. None reported a similar experience. I appreciate you letting me know but all was well in the apartment. Thank you.
Wonderful apartment! Clean and has everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful time. Steps from the beach. Great deck to sit for morning coffee or evening wine!! Joe is a superb host! Have stayed before and will come back.
