Exclusive Aqua Escape | Beachfront | Private Pool

Beachfront Gulf of Mexico Home on an Island with Heated Pool

Exclusive Aqua Escape is a direct beachfront home on the Sand Key barrier island only 8 miles away from Clearwater, FL that's rated #1 beach on the East Coast of the U.S. This exclusive property boasts a private heated pool and offers captivating Gulf views from three balconies. It's the same gorgeous turquoise water beach as Clearwater but not crowded. Facing the beach, the house features a private fenced yard and a heated pool. The beach has "white sugar" sand and clear and warm Gulf waters with low waves. Restaurants, bars, and a shop for renting paddleboards or bicycles are within a short walking distance. The home is also within 2 hours’ drive to Orlando Disney Parks and Universal Studios, if you wanted to make it a day trip. Other destinations around the house include Treasure Island, St. Petersburg boasting The Dali Museum and other attractions, and Tampa. Within a 2-minute walk from the house, there is a park with tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts and a playground.

The Exclusive Aqua Escape is located in a gated community. It boasts a distinctive Key West style of a bright-colored cottage with multi-story wrap around verandahs. Windows throughout the three floors provide endless water views. Expansive balconies offer the perfect space for gathering with loved ones and enjoying the most spectacular sunsets.

Great location! Beautiful sunsets.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was located right on the beach which was great.The home was clean enough, but could use a good deep clean. The beds were great. The couch was very stained and dirty. I am more comfortable with a leather couch when staying away from home. Home could use some updates.The pool was dirty when we arrived, it was supposed to be cleaned rMonday and Thursday....I had to call and they arrived on Wednesday.We had 3 cars and their is parking for 2. It was very difficult to find parking for our 3rd car.We did have a great time, and the house was nice enough. For the money I think I could have done better.

Great property in great location!
We stayed here with friends (kids and adults) over spring break. The property is beautiful - great sized rooms to fit multiple kids with large beds and a lot of storage space, great space for large group eating both outside and inside, and direct beach access. The location is also very close (walking distance) to good restaurants and coffee shops. The kids loved having the pool as well! Definitely would recommend as a great place for a large group or family!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The very best vacation home for a family gathering. Perfect in every way. The location was steps away from the ocean and beach. The huge backyard pool was crystal clear. The home was spotless and had everything anyone could possibly need. We have been here 2 times and plan to return as soon as we can. Best family times ever!

Very nice beachfront home
We had a group of 10 family members, six adults and four children. The house was large and accommodated us all comfortably. It is right on the beach and has a nice size heated pool. We would happily stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house, location, proximity to the gulf, huge balconies, comfortable beds, & pool with overflow were all amazing. Owner has beach umbrellas & a few beach chairs. Joanie at the agency was easy to work with. Would go again. Only downside is for older people- the spiral staircase is a workout!

Reviewer Comments: It’s our 2nd time staying at this house. It’s just steps to the beach and the pool makes it great for those that don’t like the beach. Great places to eat are an easy drive just minutes away, but this house has everything you need if you want to cook or grill.

Magical Family Celebration
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing home with everything you could ever dream of needing. The pool was much larger than a typical personal pool with numerous chairs and pool toys. The 2 decks made watching the waves and especially sunsets unbelievable. the family sized tables, inside and one the deck made meal time extra special. The amount of personal spaces in this vacation home gave everyone the ability to chill when needed. The weather was a true blessing...including the afternoon and evening storms and rainbows. With the beach and the clear and calm waves just steps away, our family celebration was truly magical.

So much closer to beach than in pictures!
Our family spent a week here and loved every minute of it. We never wanted to leave and spent most of our time at the pool, beach (which is even closer than the pictures show), and on the 2nd level deck. The house is nicely decorated and has everything you can imagine stocked in the closets and the kitchen area. The appliances are all top line and in great working condition. The outside deck furniture, pool area and outside bins filled with beach toys & equipment were great for us and our 2 year old. The outside covered area near where the grill is located is a great place to hang. The architectural work on the cabinets and counters make it a wonderful place to serve dinners and lunches at. The outside bar area with bar stools was great to be able to stay outside by the pool and eat. The neighborhood (6 houses total) had great privacy with the fenced in gated entrance. This house is one of (if not the best) locations being oceanfront and having a larger yard and pool area. Only complaint was that the MB upstairs had no tv or night lights or lamps. It only had 8 overhead lights that were very bright especially at night. We inquired about the TV but no one got back to us where it was. Not that we watched a lot of TV but it would have been nice to catch the weather a couple times with some storms approaching our area. Overall, this is an awesome house and we are already talking about another family vacation here again with another new addition to our family coming!

Perfect for our family!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of ten, my husband and I, our adult children, and our four grandchildren loved the pool, the large balcony with a table that we all ate around, and the view! Gorgeous sunsets! The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of pool toys and beach towels. Do not bring an extended SUV. It won’t fit in the garage. We enjoyed our stay! The house and property were very clean and just like the pictures!

A great place for a family retreat!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a week here in late February and it was all we could have hoped for. The weather was fantastic which set the stage but the house and property were the real stars! Given we had two young grandkids with us the second floor outdoor veranda was the focal point for much of our activity. This veranda was right off the main floor kitchen and family room, was well furnished, shaded, had a gorgeous view of the beach with beautiful warm breezes. Because of the railings and gate on the stairs this was a great place for kids to run around. From there we could easily take the outdoor spiral staircase down to the pool and beach which we did many times each day. We paid extra to heat the pool and it was a good investment. We all loved splashing around several times each day. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to eat all meals outside on the veranda where we enjoyed the view and breezes. The five bedrooms worked perfectly and gave everyone lots of privacy. It was a beautiful spot. One thing that surprised us was the garage was a very tight fit for the van we had rented. I noticed that large vehicles had problems fitting in the garages at the other houses in the complex too. Not a deal breaker by any means but good to know in advance.

The location is perfect, close to restaurants and attractions and most importantly the beach! House was clean and the balconies were a delight. Pool had very little shade but was terrific. Furnishings and appointments were fine. Only difficulty is getting large (mini vans) in and out of the garage. Very tight fit. Would love to stay again next year!

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You do not pay for a “heated pool” it’s false. You pay extra for a heated spill over that heats the pool. Tot lie. And I was told it would be at 85 degrees. When I went to check it out. The temp was 65 the first time. And after the pool was cleaned. It was changed to 77, after I had complained. Also major fruit fly situation. We would not leave anyone out. One night we opened a bottle of wine. And when we went to pour a second glass. They were all over. And we tossed it out. Parking and getting in and out was difficult bc the homes are so tight together. Beautiful view.

Great vacation rental
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great home for our extended family of 6 adults and 4 small children. Our own private West facing pool(very hard to find) and steps away from the beach and ocean. The best of both worlds and greatly desired with our little children & varied naps. We enjoyed the beach and ocean while they were awake and then the pool while they napped. Never having to give up being outside. The location was very convient to Clearwater with its pier, excursions, and aquarium. The grocery store was also close. There was a quaint indoor/outdoor restaurant steps from the house that we sampled a few times and a convient store for quick supplies. Though we rarely left the property, I also know that St. John's Pass was just south of us had we wanted to do any shopping, as was Clearwater. The home was very clean and well maintained. Each adult couple had their own room with bath and the kids each had bunk bed rooms. The 2 balconies offered great ocean and sunset views. It has a large kitchen and island for meal time and another large table out on the deck. Plus a recreation area off the pool area but we never really used this. The garage is a very tight squeeze. We rented 2 minivans and we had pull them all the way in touching the back wall to close the garage doors. Also, the only direct pool access, other than using the side (front) door and walking around the yard, was through the lower floor bedroom. We had a small issue with the kitchen icemaker not working so we just bought a bag of ice. There is a second frig in the garage. We had payed for pool heat but it must not have been working properly. Management did refund me after we got home.The only reason I gave management a 4 was I felt the "checkin" person was not very helpful. We arrived later in the evening so I understand why she wasn't there to meet us, like it said in the email, but she had the lights turned on for us. I informed her right away of the icemaker and of the pool heat but no f/u.

The house was great - very clean. A couple of things that we loved that weren't noted in the listing - garage fridge and the added spiral staircase down from the kitchen level to the pool. We loved this house so much we are looking to find a time when we can all make it back again, to the same house! We usually like to explore new areas, but this house had everything we needed and more!
