Wonderful Stay!!

We had a great stay at Dock Holiday! Kit checked on my family multiple times throughout our stay to make sure that everything was going well. The location was perfect and was an easy walk to the beach and there was even a wagon provided with an umbrella and beach chairs! Our family loved walking to multiple restaurants and shops, especially the ice cream shop on the corner! The condo was decorated so nicely and it was great having a fully stocked kitchen and a washer and dryer in the residence. We were very sad to leave and will hopefully be back next summer. Thank you for a great stay!!

Amazing!

I can’t say enough good things about our stay here. The location, cleanliness, check in, and communication with the host - everything was superb. The condo is also very well stocked and had everything we needed plus more during our stay. We have a 1 1/2 year old, and there was a high chair, pack and play, and even utensils and plates/bowls/cups for him! We loved the private dock, where we were able to fish and hang out to watch the dolphins! We hope to return and definitely recommend to others who are traveling to Clearwater.

Beautiful Condo

We have stayed at Dockside the last 4 years and always enjoyed our stay but this was by far the best condo experience. It was laid out beautifully and perfect for our needs. We have a 6yr old and 19 month old and was it was very child friendly. We look forward to coming back and hopefully staying again. Communication was great between owners and thank you so much for the welcome basket. 5 stars!!!

Best of the best

This property exceeded our expectations. It is in a great location, short walking distance to the beach but far enough from the noise of the beach area (spring break). The condo unit is located in the center of the building which gives it an outstanding view of the bay. Inside, everything was impeccably decorated and stocked with everything you need. The furniture was new and comfortable. It was a home away from home. And to top it off, the deck furniture was so inviting we spent most nights watching dolphins, pelicans, boats and much more on the bay. We are so glad we booked our stay next year already! I highly recommend the property!

Everything about the property, area and total experience was top notch. Check in process was easy. The property was updated and nicely decorated, clean and well stocked with bathroom towels, kitchenware and even beach gear (beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels, toys...and a beach wagon). The location was great as we walked everywhere including the beach (two short blocks), restaurants (too many to name), coffee shops, icecream shops, souvenir shops, etc. The kids also enjoyed the onsite pool as a break from the beach. The owners, Kit and Gary, were very attentive and very responsive. An overall great experience. Next time we're in Clearwater Beach, Dock Holiday will be the place we stay!

A huge bonus was it was fully stocked with essentials like beach gear, coffee and so much more for cooking. We enjoyed the sunrise from the comfy outside chairs.

Great Vacay to Clearwater

We had a great time at Dock Holiday. The location was perfect to walk to multiple restaurants that were really yummy! The beach is a very short walk and the provided wagon and chairs make it a breeze! There was EVERYTHING we could have needed for the trip. Plenty of paper towels, a great start on toilet paper, ALL the things you could ever need to prepare your own meal at home. There was even a complimentary bottle of wine in the fridge, such a nice surprise after a long day of travel. The grocery store is 10 minutes away and was fully stocked. Check out the house before heading to the grocery store though, there were a lot of spices and condiments supplied. We saw dolphins and a manatee multiple times in the bay and dolphins everyday at the beach. The porch was a great place to watch the afternoon rainstorms after a day at the beach. The pool was a great treat when we weren’t feeling the sand. We grilled out multiple times and found the grill to be in perfect order and had plenty of propane. Although it’s for the whole community, we never ran into an issue of two people needing it at the same time. We would definitely stay here again!

Not as described

This was supposed to be a newly renovated unit. It was at one time, but not currently. The dishwasher brackets that hold the dishes were broken off and rusted, the door cent has something growing out of it. The washer and dryer is noticeably leaked and is rusted. The bathroom tile in shower is black from not being cleaned and maintained. Master bedrooms bed was worned out and pillows were flat. The towels looked worse than my mop rags and could use a ton of bleach. In the master there were 4 towels, 2 handtowels and 2 washclothes. We had to do laundry everyday because we dont reuse our towels. The hosts were nice and responded quickly and when we found ants they sent pest control out right away. Overall unit was clean.

We stayed here for 4 nights and just wish we could’ve stayed for longer! Beautiful Condo, the owners have thought of everything that you might need during your stay. It was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. My favourite part was sitting outside on the veranda having my coffee overlooking the stunning bay.

About the host

Hosted by Kit & Gary Elert

Host profile image
Gary and I are from the Midwest and knew that once our kids were off to college that we wanted to live someplace warm during the winter months! We had visited Clearwater Beach several times over the years, so chose to rent a condo for a month back in 2012. We liked it so much, we rented for three months the next year and five months the following year. At that point, we knew that Clearwater Beach was where we wanted to stay, so we bought a house on North Clearwater Beach and now live there nine months of the year.

Why they chose this property

In 2017, we decided to invest in a condo that we could use when family and friends came to visit, plus rent out to guests looking for a great beach vacation and/or to check out Clearwater Beach for a potential winter vacation spot, just like we did years ago. We looked at several buildings, but selected Dockside Condominiums because of its superb proximity to the beach, shops, restaurants, marina, and other local attractions. We renovated that condo and named it Dock of the Bay. That condo was so popular, we bought and renovated the condo next door in 2019 and named it Dock Holiday,

What makes this property unique

The first thing we did after purchasing our condo was to hire a carpenter to do a major renovation and an interior designer to create an upscale "beachy" concept. We are thrilled with the results and hope you will be too! The patio, pool, sundeck, and dock all overlook the bay. You'll see gorgeous sunrises and dolphins playing right from your dining room window!
