About this property

Waterfront Retreat~Central Location~Walk to the Beach~Beach Gear Provided

Welcome to Dockside Escape-305, your Clearwater Beach home away from home! This is a 2bd/2ba 1100 sq ft non-smoking condo located in the heart of south Clearwater Beach on the intracoastal waterway. Enjoy coffee on the balcony while watching dolphins at play, or take your latte to go for a short 1.5 block walk to the public beach access. Everything is within walking distance of this condo!

We rent Saturday to Saturday. Please contact the property manager if you wish to book during a different time frame.

About the Space:

Dockside Escape is an 1100-sq ft condo that sleeps five. The condo has a fully stocked kitchen with coffee bar, living room, and separate dining area. This split floor plan features a master bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a guest bedroom with queen- and twin-sized beds. Both bedrooms have their own bathrooms and include large, flat-screen TVs, closet space, plenty of drawers, and nightstands with built-in electrical and USB ports.

Our condo evokes a rustic beach vibe with coastal decor throughout, custom-built sliding barn doors, and beach-themed furnishings and linens. A wall of windows floods the kitchen and dining and living rooms with tons of natural light, and frames the palm tree-lined harbor where you are sure to see dolphins, and if you’re very lucky, a manatee.

Spend the day at the beach with chairs, towels, an umbrella, cooler, and cart all provided for you, or enjoy an afternoon in the community heated swimming pool. However you decide to spend your vacation, be sure to check out Clearwater Beach’s Pier 60, where nightly entertainment takes place. The area has so much to offer, and our beach house is in the middle of it all!

The building has on-site parking, a heated pool overlooking the marina, community grills, and a fishing dock.

Please reach out with any questions about our property. We look forward to providing you with a perfect beach getaway!

Our family of four (kids 15 and 13) had an awesome time at this place. It was located within walking distance of restaurants, beach, grocery store, and shopping. The place was very clean. The hosts were great and responded within a very timely manner. It was especially nice to have a beach buggy, chairs, umbrella, and towels provided. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for having us stay at your beautiful seaside escape. Btw, saw dolphins and manatees right off the balcony in the inlet!

We stayed for 5 nights (husband/wife, and two toddlers) and had the BEST stay. The condo was so clean and well equipped to meet all of our needs. We loved the view so much from the balcony and that we could spend the late evenings on the balcony without disturbing the sleeping kids. The beds were comfortable, kitchen had all of the things we needed, and the provided beach equipment (chairs, towels, toys, etc) was amazing. We were walking distance from everything we needed and the area felt very safe. We can't wait to come back next year!

Perfect stay for our girl cousins getaway. So clean, comfortable & all the beach gear ready to go included! Suggestions would only be to have more wash clothes & bath towels. But washer-dryer was great we were able to wash them each day! And loved the beach cart so whenever you're upgrading that to have one that travels more easily across soft sand. But we all LOVED the condo & we plan to come back next year! THANK YOU!!!

Perfect Stay!

This is our second time staying at this condo and it was just as wonderful as the first time! Perfect proximity to the beach and just far enough outside of town to get away from all the hubbub at night! Condo is super clean and beautiful. We love this place so much. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Super cute condo

This condo was adorable and very well laid out. It was perfect for our family and 3 teenagers. Location was great and walkable to most places. Great view over the bay, perfect view of the fireworks on the bridge. Aiden and summer were great hosts and available to answer any questions we have. We will be back!

This is a wonderful condo with a kitchen that has everything you need to enjoy homecooked meals but is in walking distance to many restaurants as well. The fishing dock is right in front of your unit and the beach is only a block away. The condo comes with a wagon, umbrella and beach chairs as well as plenty of beach towels! The elevators were slated to be replaced, so hopefully that happens soon :) Overall, this is a wonderful condo in a great location that enables you to enjoy the beach as well as fishing off of a dock right outside of your condo door.

Fabulous vacation in this lovely condo.

My husband and I stayed a week in this beautiful condo and very sad to leave. It has everything you need plus more! Lovely furnishings and bedding. Very, very clean. Owners Jewell and Michael have anticipated your very need. They communicated often to make sure everything was OK. The building is close to many restaurants and a block to the beach. We will definitely stay here again.
