We have the best cleaner on the beach, just read our reviews. During COVID: She is spending extra time disinfecting and sanitizing. There is hand sanitizer inside the condo for your use.
From the moment you walk into this home, you will be mesmerized by the view. You don't get any closer to the beach than this. Our two bedroom/two bath condo has been remodeled from floor to ceiling including all new stainless steel appliances and furniture. The living room has two leather love seats, a huge 50inch television ready for your netflix account, and the best view in the house--13ft sliding glass doors to the balcony where you can watch the dolphins playfully swim by and gorgeous sunsets every night. The kitchen is fully equipped to make a meal for 2 or the whole family. The dining area has seating for 6. There is a full size washer and dryer. The Master Bedroom has a king size bed and sliding door to the balcony so you can wake every morning to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico or fall asleep at night to the light of the full moon glistening off the water. The Master Bathroom has an over-size walk in shower and two sinks. The second bedroom has 3 beds: 1 full size bed and twin bunk beds. We provide beach chairs and beach towels for you to use. There is also a pac-n-play and high chair.

We loved this location: a very clean well-kept condo in a small complex right on uncrowded North Clearwater Beach with easy walking distance to the rest of Clearwater Beach and all of the action.
The property was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a family vacation. My parents came down with my son and I for a spring break and double digit birthday celebration. The balcony was a favorite for all of us from morning coffee, midday reading, to breath taking sunsets. Robin was extremely responsive to all questions and provided everything we needed to enjoy the beach. Highly recommend this property and would definitely book again in the future.
It was a blast staying there. The kids loved playing uno on the deck listening to the waves and waking up early to go swimming. Its the perfect location.
Definitely would stay here again! From the moment we stepped into the condo we felt relaxed. Robin and George had everything we possibly needed for our stay. The condo was immaculate and you can’t have a better beach view from their unit and
seeing the dolphins everyday was just amazing!
This is a fantastic property, well equipped and taken care of. The property is right on the beach with excellent security. I have stayed here before and will definitely be back
We had a fantastic time, property as described and we are looking to arrange another trip. Had an issue with the water heater and they were all over it in repairing/replace the unit with no interruption to our trip.
I have stayed on Clearwater beach for over 20 years and this place has the best views I have had.
Had a couple issues that the owner took care of right away.
Would definitely stay again.
Everything was absolutely amazing and beyond what we expected! Robin was so wonderful! Always very helpful, accommodating and understanding. We can't wait to make more memories there for years to come and already planning our next stay.
Beautiful condo right on the water in quiet area of Clearwater Beach but close to everything!
Loved the firm bed in the primary bedroom and all the tvs. Washer/dryer also great to have. Beach chairs, towels and coolers also provided and there were lots of beach toys if you have kiddies.
Perfect location. The condo was secure, clean, comfortable, and very nice. Beautiful sunsets. Close to shops and restaurants. Amazing!!! Best Florida stay ever. Thank you!!!!
The condo was in pristine condition when we got there - clean and well cared for. It was easy to find, had a well lit parking area and entrance, and was always very quiet. The sunsets from the balcony were awesome! Thank-you, Robin and George for sharing your vacation home with us.
Very Clean. Condo was even nicer than the pictures on VRBO. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything that we needed. You will love this place if you want a peaceful and quiet beach vacation. Many bars / restaurants / shopping are only a 10-15 minute walk. Would definitely stay here again. Having our own designated parking spot was also very helpful.
Wow. This place was fantastic! I could sit in the condo and hear the waves and seagulls. You can step right out from the property into the white powdery sand. There were seashells galore along with viewing of dolphins, jelly fish, and other oceanic animals. Highly recommend this location for anyone wanting the quietness of the beach but yet having the nightlife within a walk away.
This is our second time staying at this property. The location is amazing directly onto the beach looking out to the ocean. We watched the sunset every night from the balcony and walked along the beach every morning. Quieter side of Pier 60, only a short walk away from shops/restaurants.
The property is well equipped, has a washing machine and dryer, and extra bedding, pillows and towels.
The property owners are extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries.
We won't hesitate to book this property again in the future.
Our family of five (older kids 22, 19 and 16) enjoyed our after Christmas week stay in the Colony Surf unit. Views of the beach were beautiful from the second floor. Unit was very clean and well equipped. The unit is about a 5-10 block walk to restaurants, shops and the pier. I would definitely recommend. This end of the beach is very quiet.

About the host
Hosted by Robin and George Kruse
We originate from Illinois. We are semi-retired and bought a 'winter' home in Central Florida a few years ago. On one of our winters here we started 'beach hopping' to find the best of Florida's many beaches. We instantly fell in love with the Clearwater Beach area and bought a condo. We plan to fully retire to Clearwater Beach soon.
Why they chose this property
Clearwater Beach has so many activities for every age group. Colony Surf is located on the quieter North end of the beach. But it is still within walking distance to all of the tourist hot spots including Pier 60. You can check out the many restaurants and shops on your stroll down to the Beach Walk and Marina where you can charter a fishing boat, take a sightseeing cruise, rent jet skis and bicycles, or take a Segway Tour. What better way to get familiar with all that the area has to offer.
