Highly recommend!
Loved our stay!! Ellie is the best! Don’t worry about packing beach supplies, she has everything you need. And if you forget your nail polish remover, she has that too! LOL! We will absolutely be back. And we loved playing with Kovi (the sweetest lab ever) in the pool.

We had a wonderful time. I wish I had the owner to help me keep my house as clean as this bungalow was! The only thing I wish we had looked into the area about a Doggie Beach because Clearwater doesn’t allow pets on the beach! But that was on us we had a great time!

Fun trip to Florida
This place has a great location and an excellent host in Ellie. The pool and hot tub were great. Due to the moisture in the area, there were some annoying bugs in the back yard, but nothing not manageable with some spray. Overall, I would definitely recommend this stay for a group of 2 or 3 people. It's very close restaurants in a nice neighborhood, and it is a short drive to the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Ellie Krackenfels

Host profile image
I'm a transplant from Michigan and have always detested cold weather. My parents immigrated with 4 of my older siblings from the Netherlands. They also loved the cooler weather. I moved here in 1990 and bought my house with the little cottage thnking my parents would love it for a place for them to retire part-time. But unfortunatley they passed on so I decided to turn it into a seasonal rental. I love meeting new people and have made many great friends by starting this little venture. It truly is a joy for me to make my guests comfortable and happy. I have a knack to know when the visitors want privacy or a bit of a 'talk'. We know that people value their privacy and respect this. So far this has been a great experience for me and my husband and We love it!
I also am an artist {potter} and enjoy working in the warm weather.. I love making things that people can use for everyday type cooking.
Any guest, male or female or both can 'play' in my studio free of charge. Chlidren love it! ( Pottery studio undergoing remodeling, currently not open)
(dependent on studio being open)

Why they chose this property

I just knew that this was the perfect place for my husband and me.
If you read the visitor comments you will get an idea why this is such a popular place. Actually in order to book for the winter months it should be done a year in advance. Summer bookings are not as difficult.

What makes this property unique

The best thing about living here is the close proximity to our beach!
I also love the small town feel of the area. I love to garden and having a fenced private yard is like owning a private park. I also love doing pottery in an on-site studio and when available you are welcome to watch or even get dirty trying your hand at it!
A great benefit is the biking trail close by, beach 1.5 miles away and so many shops and restaurants in walking distance. I know the area very well, so as a result I am able to give you some different ideas and 'tricks' than the normal theme parks to visit. St. Petersburg has some of the best museums to visit, including the 'Salvador Dali' and 'Chihully Glass Museum'
I also know of some 'secret' dog beaches and all of the tricks for free parking at the beaches. Some nearby beaches have free parking which is an added bonus.
On site pottery studio. Free to get dirty :)
Best thing is!!!!! Thisis not your typical condo/hotel stay. No trying to find and save a lounge chair by the pool. Plus quiet and peaceful unlike a condo or hotel.
