IMPORTANT: We do NOT advertise on Craigslist! Be safe and only deal with the owner.
COVID-19 Pinellas County is open for short term vacation rentals with guidelines that we are following in full.
We take the safety of our guest and cleaning staff extremely seriously. Our cleaning crews are using sanitizer and disinfectant on all surfaces before your arrival and as cleaning is taking longer than previously it is unlikely that we can offer early check-ins or late checkouts. Our houses have well equipped kitchens and we believe that separate units are the best option for vacationing in the time of Covid-19.
Florida is seeing an increase in cases at the moment and we stress the importance of guests taking travel insurance that would cover them in the event that they no longer want to travel to Florida. In the event that the administration halts vacation rentals we would of course refund guests as we could no longer accept them. We have to stress that after two months of cancellations and re-bookings we will not be able to offer refunds if Clearwater Beach remains open for vacation rentals but guests decide not to travel.

Everything was exactly as it looked in pictures! The beach was the perfect distance and it was never crowded. The provided amenities, like chairs, wagon and other beach toys were an awesome plus!! The house was great and homey, would love to go back every year!
Enjoyed a lovely stay here for my 40th bday! The house & cottage are some of the nicest & most clean rentals we’ve ever stayed in! Everything you need is at the property & walking so close the beautiful beach is amazing!

Dear Nancy, Thank you so much for your great review, we highly appreciate it! Wishing you all the best and hoping to have you back. Warmly, Tanja
Had a great family vacation. Beach was perfect
Kitchen was well stocked. Could use more kitchen towels.
King master bath is shared with the 3rd bedroom and the rest of the house
We had a great time at the house and cottage. Everything we needed was there - kitchen supplies, towels and linens, beach supplies, etc. The patios and hot tub were very nice. We sat outside a lot. The beds, pillows and furniture were also more than satisfactory. Having the beach so close was the best. We love walking so this place was ideal. We had a car but didn’t mind the 3/4 mile walk to restaurants and shops. There was a Publix supermarket less than 10 minutes away which was convenient. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. We did not hear traffic or any other noise. Amy and Ryan gave us the perfect amount of communication- told us all we needed to know when we needed to know it, but did not intrude on our privacy whatsoever. The whole trip was great including the weather! We would gladly stay here again.

Very comfortable and clean house. Great location to the beach.
We loved the kitchen and cooked most our meals there. TV controls were a little tricky, but once we figured it out we were good. Lots of beach items in shed that made our beach outings enjoyable and comfortable: umbrellas, chairs and many sand toys. Plenty of beach towels provided. We found a booster chair for our 2 year old to use at the table. There were pack n play baby beds in the closet, also a high chair. .Parking was covered and on the property. We were met with a lovely gift of wine, chips and Halloween candy, Duncan Donuts coffee and toiletries were provided. Wonderful experience for all.

Dear Pat, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely and detailed review. We truly appreciate it and are delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay at The House and Cottage. It was such a pleasure to meet you and share our home with. Have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving and please visit us again. Warmly, Tanja
Our family spent the week of July 3-10 here for vacation and had a great time. When you’re on vacation you want everything to be easy and that’s exactly what Ryan and Amy did for us. From the booking process through check-out, they communicated with us every step of the way. During our stay we had a couple of issues and when we reached out, they were very timely with their response.
The house itself is in a great location. You can’t be any closer to the beach without being on the beach itself. It was very clean upon arrival and well stocked with everything we needed for the week; fully stocked kitchen, paper towels, toilet paper, bath towels, beach towels and bed linens. We also enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and private beach access the house provided for us. With the main action happening at the pier approximately a mile away, it was close enough to walk when we wanted to be part of the “the crowd.”
We highly recommend staying here for your next beach vacation!!
We had a great time over Christmas at this house. The kitchen was fully stocked for Christmas dinner. The beds are comfortable. The hot tub is hot which was perfect for really really cold Christmas weather. Stay here. You won’t regret it!
We loved our cottage and home in this quiet neighborhood! We had ample space for everyone, and everything was clean and cozy. This is really a fantastic spot in Clearwater—just steps from a less-crowded beach! Thank You, we will return!
Quiet neighborhood, very close walking distance to beach and one mile walk to restaurants and entertainment versus driving and paying for parking everywhere on the main roads towards the center of Clearwater Beach. House was stocked with everything we needed and more. Ryan was very helpful in solving a couple minor issues that day.
This is a beautiful property, very clean and everything you need for a comfortable night stay. The property is only a few steps to the gorgeous white sand beach, which is away from the crowds. Downtown Clearwater is a few minute car or bike ride with amazing food and shops.
I stayed in this house with my spouse, two kids, parents, and sister and found it to be as good as promised and better. The house was very clean and in great shape, and even with so many people it felt comfortable and spacious. We had everything we needed and were delighted to find that the shed was full of beach toys, umbrellas, coolers, and other fun things. The location was fantastic, not too close to the craziness of downtown Clearwater, but literally steps from the beach. Evening walks along the sand were a true highlight, and we found so many beautiful shells and saw so much wildlife, including dolphins swimming just beyond the surf. I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay with family or friends.
We came to Clearwater for our son's wedding and the house and cottage were perfect. Very clean, super cute and the perfect location. The host Jan was very accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend this property. :-)
My family and I came to the area for a wedding and thoroughly loved the house and the patio with dining table and hot tub. The house was immaculate and comfortable.
The location was amazing. Away from the hustle of the main drag but still accessible. Beach across the street made for easy access and quick clean ups! Our family had lots of fun at the house playing cards and watching movies, the hot tub was a great feature.

Thank you Taylor! We are so glad that you had a good time.
Upon arrival we had an issue with a lock on a closet door in a bedroom. Abby was very quick to respond and resolved the issue for us. We decided to book the cottage as well giving us ample space for our large family. This home was very clean and attention was paid to every detail. Everything needed was supplied. We chose to stay in a couple of nights and forego the dinner wait as we had a party of 11 including a toddler and teenagers. This home had two grills making grilling a very quick process. The short walk to the beach was the best thing of all. We could go back and forth to the house at will. We chose to check out a little early because of Tropical Storm Elsa possibly making landfall in Tampa. I would definitely stay here again.
We rented the house and cottage together for a family trip. We absolutely loved the house. Very well stocked kitchen and utility room with toys, floats, chairs, and a cart. Rinse off at the back door! Kids loved the hot tub!
This beach house is EXACTLY as described, maybe even better than the provided description. You can see the water from the patio/hot tub, the house is spacious and well decorated, and the pictures just do not do this little place justice. It was super clean and well stocked, the hot tub was PERFECT, and the beds were insanely comfortable. It was the best spot for a weekend birthday celebration with a close group of friends. Thank you so much!!
We really enjoyed being right across the street from the dunes entrance to the beach! The house was well-equipped and my family was quite comfortable during our visit. We also enjoyed the hot tub!
