There is the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, half an hour away, if you have a rainy day, or check out the Aquarium in Clearwater, where the famous dolphin Winter lives, who was made famous in the movie and sequel Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale Two.

Just a little further is Tampa - 30 minutes drive, Busch Gardens - 40 - 45 minutes, Disney, Universal, and Sea World - 1.5 hours.

There is excellent golfing at the Belleview Biltmore, just a couple of miles away on the mainland, as well as at many other golf courses in the area.

We are located on a barrier island, which is narrow, but very long. There are public trolleys which run up and down the main road which cost $2.00 per ride or unlimited daily riding for $4.50 per person. On one side is the intercoastal waterway and on the other side is the Gulf of Mexico with beautiful beaches, palm trees, exotic birds. and stunning sunsets. The island has bridges to the mainland close by. We also have sea turtles nesting on our beach.

The beach is great for swimming, kayaking, and wildlife watching. You can see a variety of birds - pelicans, seagulls, herons, and egrets. If you keep an eye out on the ocean, you can see the dolphins swim by in groups of two to five.

A car is recommended but not required. Beach trolley buses run about every 30 minutes and you can go from Clearwater Beach to the north all the way to Pass-a-Grille in the south, and back.

If the dates you want show as booked on the calendar please send us an inquiry because we might have availability in the second identical apartment. 031823

We love this location! You walk across the street and are on the beach - in 4 minutes! The beaches are lovely all up and down the Gulf Coast. The property has a huge private deck which we used nightly. Everything is laid out so well that it's convenient to cook, go on the deck or relax inside. You can't go wrong with this place.

Great place to stay!

We had a wonderful time at this property. They had everything we needed for an awesome day at the beach and for play at the park. There was a great pizza place right across the alley in the back yard and coffee and ice cream just two blocks away. The kids had a great time exploring at the beach and it felt like coming home at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend!

Minimalist Stay

The location as it pertains to walking to the beach is fantastic. It met our needs for the purpose of the trip Things to consider: It’s across the street from a popular pickle ball court’ POP POP POP POP. People play early in the summer. Laundry: Coin operated laundry. I don’t know the last time I held a coin. This is far from ideal for a beach vacation in humid Florida where stepping outside in the summer soaks your clothes in sweat and nothing ever dries

Great location but….

Close to the beach in a nice neighborhood. It’s tough to get out of the driveway whenever an event is going on. Owner was notified the cleanliness of the unit was not good as the floors were filthy and many utensils were dirty. Bathroom window is clear so showering was uncomfortable. Owner never responded to my comment about the cleanliness issue so I felt compelled to share on a review.

Ideal Location & Stay for Families

We stayed in the back apartment (left driveway), and loved it. Vadim has done a great job setting the place up. It's clean, well appointed, and designed for long beach days (hosing off sandy feet, doing wet/laundry, etc.). Location is epic: 16th Street entry to Indian Rocks Beach is a stone's throw away, totally walkable, and right next to Guppy's (get the fish tacos for lunch). If you have small kids, like we do, the park across the street is handy, CVS is right down the street (perfect for re-stock of sunscreen & bandaids). And be sure to get some ice cream at the Kooky Co-Conut, further up the road. The drive to Clearwater is short & easy, which was great for us. Our kids attended day camp at the aquarium every morning. So we were really thrilled w/the location. Thanks again Vadim! We plan to return in 2020!

Great place to stay!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Everything we needed was there and it was close to many of the places we wanted to go. Beds were comfy and the beach was gorgeous!! Do your grocery shopping before going onto the island, the grocery down the street was 4x what we paid for the same items at Publix, cost us $45 just for breakfast items.

Great getaway

We enjoyed our experience. The place was super clean and comfortable. Parking was ample and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Location was walking distance to great restaurants, bars and convenience stores. Beach was super close, too. The deck was nice and spacious. We never used the laundry room but took a peak and it was well stocked with beach toys and rafts. If you choose this location be sure to bring a USB adapter because unlike hotels there are none. The check in process was easy and my family had a great time. Thank you!

This is a wonderful property.

Owners have gone the extra mile to make this a beautiful and relaxing home away from home. We had difficulty with the wifi the day we arrived and our last two days. Not sure if it was weather related. Beach access is perfect...so close. Our adult family of 4 had all the room we needed to spread out or come close whenever we wanted. One bathroom was sometimes an issue but that was no surprise. It was a wonderful week!!!!
