Winter vacation 2025 & visit with grandkids

The stilt house is an amazing property to rent for a vacation. It is clean and has everything you can possibly need for a visit. The view of the gulf is beautiful & just across the street so if you want to catch an amazing sunset. The private mangrove behind the house overlooks the bay and was our favorite place for mornings. Karen is always available if you need anything . We’ll definitely be back to stay there.

Amazing Location

The stilt house is a wonderful place to stay. The owner provided everything we needed to have a wonderful beach vacation.... even a wagon to transport it all to the beach. It's in a perfect location with great views. It's far enough away from the city to be peaceful but close enough to grocery stores, shopping, great restaurants, and fun activities. Karen was very patient with us as first time VRBO users and made everything easy. I would definitely recommend this rental. You won't be disappointed!!!

Great Sister Trip at the Stilt House

We are 4 sisters from PA, GA, and FL that stayed at the Stilt House for 8 days. The house was amazing, the Sunset and Sunrise views from the house were spectacular! The short walk to the beach was great! We enjoyed several local restaurants, the Sugarsand Festival in Clearwater, the Seaside Bird Sanctuary, and John's Pass Boardwalk. Loved the convenience of the elevator and the private dock was great! We will definitely be back!!!!

Wonderful vacation property

The property is everything as advertised and more. Easy access to two pieces of paradise - the long stretch of sandy beach out the front, as well as a private dock on the inter-coastal waterway out the back. Everything is provided for a relaxing vacation. We really appreciated the top notch kitchen supplies, from quality cookware, dishes and cutlery, to the slow cooker. The home is very clean, and well laid for two couples, with a clear separation in sleeping areas. We also appreciated the quality furniture and TVs, and the internet worked flawlessly. The elevator is awesome for moving luggage, as well as for those guests with mobility challenges. The host provides prompt and courteous communication.

Enjoyable Stay

Our family had a relaxing and enjoyable stay here. The house was nice and had a good view of the ocean and the waterway in the back. We were able to see manatee at the dock as well as go fishing. The elevator was a big help. The walk to the beach was very manageable and not very far. The sunsets were amazing! Dogs are not allowed on the beach here or in many other places in this area. There are some designated dog areas but we just stayed on the property or took walks down the street. But overall a good experience.

Great Place!

This was one of the best places we have stayed. Clean, updated, and great location. It reminded us of our home. Very open and spacious. Even though there were 3 of us, you could have 4-5 and not feel on top of each other. The only downside was a place to walk our dogs too but they adjusted well and brought them home when I left. We will definitely look again for this in the future. Great communication between the owner once I got there. Didn’t need much guidance after that. Everyone was friendly and helpful at the beach too. Beach was in great shape, beautiful sunsets, sand dollars, and shark teeth. Great local places to eat and convenient to grocery. Nice dock out back to fish.

Wow! What a great property!

This place is beautiful. The views of the intercostal and the ocean are beautiful. The place was spotless when we got there. Lots of great beach items and bicycles. Lots of kitchen items, great linens and comfy beds. The elevator was a godsend when we carried in the groceries and luggage. You don’t see too many beach homes with an elevator. Also, the beach is soooooo close. We enjoyed the short walk as it made going back to the house for something we forgot that much easier. There is an adorable cottage in front of this house. If you need more room, rent that out to accommodate more family/guests. We looked in, don’t worry, Karen told us we could. It is perfect for a small group. One note: the pictures do not do this place justice. The views are great!

Beautiful Views, Private Dock and Stunning Beaches

5 Star views of both the beach and intercostal! The house was clean and updated. Gorgeous beach access just a few steps away. The owner is very nice and communicative. Would have given it 5 stars except: the noise - the highway in front of the house is quite busy and there was some disruptive late-night/early-morning noise from the second property at the unit. Also, the wifi drops often and is problematic if you are trying to do work or anything that requires significant bandwidth. But, overall, we had a wonderful stay and the home is definitely good for beach access and awesome views -not to mention the super cool private dock in the mangrove lagoon. You can watch the sunset and rise from the living room! Beautiful rental!
