Big Beach Block Apartment Sleeps 6 Pets OK, Daily Rentals

The hosts were the best hosts I’ve ever had. The place was older and we needed to request a few things at times. Unfortunately, the weather was very cold too. The manager ( Capt Al), and housekeeper (Nancy). took care of our concerns immediately. They went above and beyond to help meet our needs ALL the time. Capt Al truly expects the guests to comply to the rules, and yet seems to have a big heart. There's a sweet balcony off the living room which was nice, if the weather cooperates.The location was great, right on the main road. The beach is directly behind the location. The pool is about 1/2 block down the street. It's very large and looks great and is only open in the summer. We enjoyed the large hot tube on our very cold evenings. Overall, I'd give this place a 9 and I thank them for their prompt assistance and kindness.

Clearwater was amazing. Captain Al was accommodating when we added more travelers. He was able to move us to another beach cottage. We had everything we needed.

Found everything just as the listing said. Short walk to the beach, great beach toys for the kids, good grill for eating in, easy walk to restaurants and strip for souvenir shopping. Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay.

Loved the location and the atmosphere. Felt right at home and beachy

The property was not as advertised! It said it had two baths and there is only one! The listing said washer/dryer and there is not! I was told there was a laundromat two blocks away and it was shut down and out of business! I don't mind the old things in the property but would expect them to be clean. There was years worth of dirt on the pictures and flowers in the apartment. The listing said upgraded cabinets and only the fronts had been changed so it looks nice in the pictures. However, these were fronts that had just been slapped on and not even very well. The twin bed was held up with a 4x4 post that had been put there to support the bed. Only one teaspoon in the whole unit. The high end appliances that are advertised are clearly old and used. A few antiques were actually very nice but anything that was called new looked to be purchased from a Goodwill store or out of outdated condos. However, even that wouldn't be so bad if it was CLEANED!! We definitely would have demanded a refund and actually checked on other properties but none were available. We were VERY disappointed. I have used VRBO properties in the past and I have never had any problems. If an amenity is listed, I expect it to be on site. No pool. No tennis. Why are these listed? And to make matters worse, the manager suggested that if my children needed underage alcohol they could find it at a neighborhood bar! I am appalled!

Capt Al was welcoming, available and helpful.

Great location, spacious apartment, clean. We loved it.

This is a great place for a family... plenty of space for larger families. Could it use some updating (mostly in the bathroom) YES, BUT... it was clean, stayed very cool, had amble supply of towels, plenty of hot water for showers, for the most part was very quiet at night and has very comfortable beds for everyone!!!!! The best part of this condo is EVERYTHING you need for the beach is provided. We flew into Clearwater and couldn't pack that much. It was great having free access to beach chairs, umbrellas, ice chests, beach towels, sand toys and floats, and even bicycles!!!! To rent all of these items would cost a fortune. It was all included with the condo. Staff was friendly and super helpful. Plus... walk out your front door, down the stairs, turn right, turn right again, walk 150 steps and you are on the beach!!!!!

We stayed in the New Orleans apt and you can't beat the Location! Steps away from the beach and walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. Capt Al was a great host and very responsive to any questions had. Will stay here again when we come to Clearwater!

We were told to text captain Al when arriving. He never answered our text nor our calls. When we finally found him, he told us we were in wrong place, which we were not. He was not friendly at all.he had another family in our condo and no idea that was our place. We had to wait for the family to pack a nd move and for cleaning ladies tp clean our condo. We waited hours. Than Capt Al told us we owed state taxes that Vrbo did not collet which was a lie. He just ruined our whole vacation. We would never go back. The place is not managed right.
