#79 The Summer Loft by Joyful Moments Vacations

The room was good.

Unit was clean & spacious & in a quiet neighborhood. It is in a convenient location between Clearwater Beach & Honeymoon Island. As a solo traveler, I felt safe. Stayed two weeks. Host Joel responded quickly to messages. I recommend Summer Loft for solo & couple travelers.

Joel (the host) was very welcoming and quick to respond to any questions I had. The amenities were in good condition and worked well. The loft was clean and included everything that would be needed for a stay.

Close to beach and downtown. Pleasant surprise to have use of beach towels, umbrella, chairs and a rolling cooler. Smart TV and new furnishings.

Pros: quaint space, about 15-20 from most areas you’d want to visit, nice for short stays. Comfortable bed. Quick responses from host. Cons: if you need quiet to sleep, being on a main and busy road will not be your friend. Has a stovetop, but no oven. I didn’t notice when booking, but hindered our plans of cooking some meals over eating out. If you’re coming with more than 2 people, the couch/second bed is pretty rough. No cushion whatsoever. If bugs aren’t your thing, be aware they may visit you in the morning. The guy pictured came running at us and there were two more downstairs waiting for my husband and his shoe. Limited hot water, if any. My first night, was an unenjoyable cold shower. While we enjoyed our time in Clearwater, I don’t think I would book here again, but appreciated the space while we were there.

We loved the location. I will hopefully be coming back again soon!

The place is cute and simple which is juat what we wanted since we weren't going to be spending a lot of time in it. There were a few major downsides though. The first two nights, there was no hot water so taking cold showers wasn't what we expected. If you are a larger person, I would caution you about staying here because the shower door doesn't open very wide. I'm not a huge person, and I had to step in sideways and could still feel the door on my back while stepping in. The second bed is a fold down futon which in most cases I'd have no problem with. I'm not real picky. However, once it's laid out as a bed I could feel the metal rods poking me in the back and there is zero cushion. Needless to say, I didnt sleep well and my back hurt the whole time. The neighborhood is less than desirable and the place sits on a main road, so you can hear all the noise. There are signs inside that say no loud noises between properties, however when we got there, there was a huge party going on and people coming out asking who we were and nowhere to park. The back patio could use some work, especially if youre the type of person that likes to sit outside a relax, which we did not do. The location as far as being close to the beach though, is perfect.

Very clean and organized. We highly recommend this place.

Very clean and well taken care of. Attention for details. Smelled great. Nice area.

Cute place to stay for two. The house was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The only downside was the couch in the living room was not comfortable at all. A replacement with a better quality couch would go far.

The property is very well maintained. Exactly as the description states. The bed was comfortable. The location is ideal. We were in town to catch a few baseball games. We would definitely stay again!

For two people this was a great little place! Located close to so much and easy to get around. Joel was a great communicator and we were very pleased with our two weeks in A Summer Loft.

This is a no-frills “cottage” that is a fantastic value, perfect for a single traveler or a couple. The location is close to the beach, downtown-activities, and great restaurants.

Will definitely stay again everything was as expected, one hiccup the water heater needs a temperature change as the hot water runs out in 5min.

Very nice

The pictures are exactly as it appears! This place was so clean and had everything my daughter and I needed for our extended weekend in Florida. You’re 5 miles from Clearwater Beach or a 14 minute drive to all the shops and places to eat. The road is a little busy but the neighborhood seemed relatively quiet. I would stay here again!!

Nice space for 2

The house itself was very cute! In a very convenient location from the beach and other activities. We had a couple things come up that we had to contact the owner about, but they were very timely and helpful with either getting someone there or getting us what we needed. We would definitely stay again!

It was a really nice and relaxing stay. Exactly what we were looking for.
