Steps to the beach? Yes but also inches from the highway. Ever wanted to spend a relaxing vacation under a freeway overpass? Well this place might be for you. Despite all the deliberate lies in the property description, the beach itself was very nice. The property however, is a complete shame. It is listed as being within walking distance of the state park, but is in fact, 7 miles away from where it shows. It is on the map and where they claim that it is located. It is in fact, only a few steps to the beach, but the property is sitting on an extremely busy and very loud road and there is nowhere in that place that you cannot hear the traffic noise. The air conditioner only works at night and the temperature in the property will steadily rise during the day until it is almost 80 at midday. The property description says that there is an icemaker which there is, but it does not work. It is very nicely decorated and so if that is the only thing that matters to you then great. The property is managed by a company that does not apparently believe in answering their phone. The only way you will ever be able to contact them is by text and they donât give you the number to text them until itâs too late. My wife and I have rented properties around the world, and this was the most mismanaged, misrepresented and overpriced place we have ever stayed.
Perfect 2 bed 1 bath vacation getaway. Kitchen and bathroom fully stocked. Beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards provided. Washer and dryer always a plus. Just steps away from the beach.
This unique cottage is a comfortable base to pursue any and all vacation endeavors. Located conveniently bewtween St. Pete's and Clearwater Beach, you are either a short walk or drive to a range of restaurants and shopping opportunities. Or simply walk to the beah (only steps away) and watch the world pass by. The property manager is very attentive and will provide a nice overview of usefull tips to eliminate any stress about how to get around and where to find key resources
The loved our stay in the canary house! The decor is delightful, and our kids loved the super-short walk to the beach. We saw a stringray and dolphins and enjoyed watching the pelicans.
We left just days before hurricane Helena. Listing is as described. Beautiful weather & sunsets! Cute & Cozy! Short walk to the beach. Very quiet for being off Main Street. Would return, thank you!
We like to stay directly on the beach and while this cottage is not right on the water, it is a very short walk down a path, so just as good as right on the water! The home is clean, well stocked, and everything we needed. Host was a great communicator. We didn't need a thing while we were there, but I'm sure we would have been well taken care of if we had. We stated in mid September, so the area was pretty quiet. A short drive to St. Pete or Clearwater, even into Tampa. It's away from the busy cities, but restaurants were a short drive. Beach was clean and quiet. Cottage is very small, but perfect for the 2 of us. We would not hesitate to stay again!
The beach was calm and peaceful- not over crowded. Beach Cottage was decorated cute and it was nice to have stuff other families left - beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, boogie boards, first aide kit etc. Outside shower was great. Host was very nice and had great communication, especially days prior to arrival.
A few downsides: VRBO shows the location icon very close (3 minutes) to Clearwater Beach on Sand Key Resort, but itâs actually in Indian Shores- nearly 25 minutes away. Both beds were old and uncomfortable, and though the linens were professionally cleaned- many had large stains that remained. Only other downside was you are close to a busy street and hear traffic noises at night instead of the beach.
Nice little cottage thatâs is just a few steps from the beach, great location between Clearwater and st Pete, would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a beach vacation.
Nice Bungalow just off the road. Indoors was what my wife and I needed for comfort. They had a 1980s vintage video game that was fun. The beach was great for walking. If we return to the area, we'll stay again.
We canât recommend this place enough! Seriously had the best time! The location is perfect!! Right next to the beach and place was spotless and soooo comfortable! We will definitely be back!
This was the perfect little cottage for a quick family getaway. The house was conveniently located, close to the beach, and the perfect size for the three of us. We appreciated the beach towels, beach chairs, and available washer/dryer in the bathroom. The house had a cute beachy theme and my husband and son loved the arcade game.
We really liked the cottage. If grilling were allowed Iâm sure we would stay here time and again. Having the pac man tournaments nightly between adults was amazing. Took us back to our childhood.
We loved our stay in the cottage. It was clean, comfortable beds, attentive owners, well equipped kitchen, tv in every room, washer and dryer in the unit and cool vintage video game that helped our kids to get thru rainy day. Definitely recommend staying there and will consider renting again!
