Great Little Cottage

Pros: Location, cute beach aesthetic, and the amenities. The water pressure is enviable! The main bedroom bed is firm but comfortable and the sheets were soft. Three teens slept comfortably enough on the fold-outs in the living room. Plenty of linens and pillows for all. Correctable Cons: The main bedroom's wall unit AC contains mold/mildew. There was significant termite residue on kitchen floor on arrival (I thought it was spilled coffee grounds at first.) There is no dishwasher in this unit, but there was no drain plug, dish rack, or dish towels with which efficiently wash and dry dishes. A can opener, spatula, and a full roll of paper towels would have been helpful. Suggestion: If possible, include updated descriptions of the specific unit and house rules in VBRO welcome email. The documentation in the room seemed to be for a different property so I stopped reading it. Therefore, I missed the requirement of reservations for the communal hot tub. This led to a minor misunderstanding with the teens and property management.

Okay Getaway

Location was close to the water, and within walking distance of the Rockaway bar, which we enjoyed. This particular cottage was on corner of the street which I didn’t realize until I arrived. Nice that it was dog friendly, but the only close place to walk my dogs was across the street in a sparsely grassed area near construction; which was not well lighted at night. Also the room was not ready when I arrived after 4pm, which was two hours behind the set check in time due to heavy traffic as original check in time was at 2pm; so this was a little frustrating.

Corner Blue Cottage

The Cottage was not cleaned prior to our arrival, garbages in living area and bedroom full, sand all over the floors, and sink smelled like sewer. If windows were open in the bedroom you smelled the garbage cans outside the window. It also showed photos of the beach with blue half shells that you can rent on the beach, but that is more than a half mile walk to get to those. The beaches are beautiful in the area! Uber easily available. I would not stay in these cottages again.

Perfect location to the beach! Just a few steps away. Easy walk to great restaurants. Capt Al and Dominic were extremely helpful and made our stay more enjoyable. The Shipwreck bar across the street had a few rowdy patrons but overall was ok and not every night.

Right on the beach

It is ideal for 2 people. Cute cottage steps from the beach. We liked the shared recreation area and the beach chairs cart and umbrella that we borrowed for the day. Relaxing vibe. Private property sign might be good so beach goers don’t mistake it for a cute shop. Yes that happened while we were there. Overall location was awesome and host was patient and warm.

Buyer beware! Property details and amenities received were most definitely not as described in the ad. Confirm details before booking. Spent a decent amount on an attic space we couldn’t stand up fully due to slanted ceilings. No kitchen just microwave and mini fridge. Shower in the middle of the whole space! If I hadn’t planned for only one night I would have been EXTREMELY disappointed. Ask if you are renting “Pineapple Loft” if so don’t do it unless you like teeny tiny! Place was clean but nothing like as described!!

Nasty unclean dump that smelled musty

The place was so run down and nasty. Kitchen sink had bucket under it for water drip, toaster was rusted and covered in grease, silverware in the drawers had grease and food on them, coffee pot was molded, pot itself looked like it was never washed, bathtub felt like it was gonna fall in when you stood in it, bathroom shower could be seen from the window on the front porch. Worst vacation home ever!! We only stayed here because I couldn’t afford to rent another place and this was the first time my grandson had been to the ocean. It was so bad, he wanted to leave the trip early. Pictures of all these cottages must be from 20 years ago, NOTHING looks like it does in the pictures. THIS PLACE IS NOT WORTH WHAT THEY CHARGE PER NIGHT. This place is a cheap $60 a night place and that is a lot for how nasty it was. We found old water bottles behind the nightstand, many extension cords plugged into other extension cords, complete fire hazard. I have pictures that I took of everything I wrote about here. Awful place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Capt. Al is the property manager and guests relations. Contact him for info.

Capt. Al, the Property Manager, Reservaton Agent, and Cottage Counselor is originally from New Jersey, and was a camp counselor at Club Getaway. Having enjoyed living close the Jersey Shore my dream has always been to live at the beach in Florida. For 35 years I have enjoyed this beautiful little island. Here we get to swim in the Gulf of Mexico as the sun sets, enjoy local fresh fish, and have great congenial neighbors who are friendly and enjoy the same 'Salt Life' . When you come to visit, Capt. Al and his first mate, Karen will be happy to show you around.

Why they chose this property

These are the very last real beach cottages left in Clearwater Beach so close to the beach. Designated as the Old Florida District, by the City's Beach by Design, they give you the feel of Old Florida, in day 's gone by. These cottages are in North Beach in a quaint area with cute beach houses . These cottage and a few Guest Houses and small houses on these 3 streets are the very last of the Old Florida District in Clearwater Beach

What makes this property unique

Beach Cottages are fun. Cute little houses right by the sea. No cold elevators and halls to walk down. No stuffy neighbors. Just walk out the door and one hundred steps and you enjoy the best beaches in America. Most are much larger than the rooms called cottages in the large older homes in the neighborhood. Most are real little houses or a duplex with full new kitchens , new Stainless Steel appliances, and entertainment systems in most bedrooms.
