The location was great with many restaurants at your fingertips just as other reviews have noted. We are glad we chose this area. We took a trip to Clearwater and it was completely packed, people everywhere, kind of chaotic. As for the beach, it was very nice to have that short walk to and from. It was not over crowded, seemed to be family friendly. In conclusion, the stay, restaurants, and the beach were great! I recommend this area and this unit for sure!
