Truly on the beach

Location can't be beat - area is safe, beach is literally 50 steps out the door, house was clean and very comfortable. Everything needed was provided and owner was totally available if needed. Would stay here again if returning to this same area - very relaxing trip!

Beautiful Beach

Bellaire is a truly gorgeous beach, and the proximity to Clearwater was handy! The cottage was comfortable, the beds were great, and the owners were working hard to recover from substantial hurricane damage. They were very friendly and responsive to our many issues and suggestions about things that were needed, but there are still some things that need to be done to bring it up to the highest VRBO quality.

Great little stay on the beach

My family of four stayed and loved how close the beach was! Beautiful! If you’re looking for a less crowded beach this is it. But also very close to all the restaurants and shopping, etc. Cottage is just how described…we hope to come back!

Worst experience using a vrbo or airbnb

We planned this trip sort of last minute for a family vacation. The listing is pretty inaccurate and hasn’t been updated. This area was hit by a major storm last year so understandably some things outside looked different than the photos. Inside you could tell there was water damage and things had been painted over. This is all understandable.What is not understandable is the cleanliness of the property. The owner was staying upstairs while we were there and he apparently “cleaned” the property. The place was very dirty, we saw bugs, the mirror had the previous renters splashes all over it from brushing their teeth… again, I’m capable of wiping off a mirror and we got bug traps from the owner so OK I can look past this. The entire time we were there, which was shorter than we had booked as we left early, the owner was working on the property. Sawing, hammering nails, drilling, at one point other people were there with a ladder right where our outdoor shower was to clean off as we came back from the beach… he was replacing the siding on the house while we were there! I contacted Vrbo when we left two days early asking for those two days back and sent them photos and short clips of videos I took of the sounds via email as I couldn’t send the full videos due to their size. It took them a full week to respond to me saying they weren’t giving me back anything. Needless to say I won’t be using vrbo again and definitely don’t recommend this property.

Location and property is clean and safe. Great beach access. Would return 100%!

Check in and check out was a breeze. Property is very clean, convenient to town, but out of the way at the same time. Beach access is perfect! Property manager is very helpful and available to answer any questions. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxing and worry free getaway.

We loved the place, walk-out the back door and you are steps from the beach…everything was as described, kids had a blast, & pretty much everything u need is there…beach chairs, tent, umbrellas, wagon…the house was great, and Randy, the owner was super nice, made contact with us to make sure all was good. We will definitely be back again!

Best vacation home on the beach

Looking for a cozy cottage on the beach? This is the one! With its beach decor charm with 1 full bathroom and 1/2 plus washer and dryer amenities and access to the beach my family loved staying here. The owner met us as we pulled into the driveway. Randy was delightful and was there if we needed anything. No need to bring anything, It is all there from having a beach wagon, beach chairs, canopy, sand toys, and even sand roll out mats. The living room and both bedrooms had smart TVs for those rainy days for inside activities. Looking forward to staying here on future Belleair Beach vacations.

Older Quaint beach cottage

Perfect location right on the beach. Cottage is older and could use some updates. Queen size mattress needs to be replaced as they have a foam topper on it. Ceiling fan blades in family room need to be cleaned.

Amazing views of the Gulf

Lovely, cozy cottage steps from the Gulf! We had an amazing vacation. This cottage was so cozy and very clean. We enjoyed our stay, spent our evenings either on the beach, on the deck or out and about. There is so much to do and see , from the little restaurants to Clearwater and Johns Pass we had plenty to do for all ages. Our only mix up was that the key wasn’t left out for us so we had to call and wait outside but eventually found that the back door was left open. Not really a big deal and it was taken care of quickly. Also there needs to be a curtain on the kitchen door as there is another cozy cottage behind it and we had busy back door neighbors The beds were very comfortable especially the king in the master bedroom. I don’t think I have ever slept in such a cozy bed All in all it was the perfect vacation in a cottage that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place at the beach. Thank you for opening your cozy cottage to us we loved it!

Disappointing

I don't understand any higher ratings for this property. The location is right on the beach. It was sort of a dingy dated place, cluttered w cheap beach decor and pealing beach stickers on the walls. The microwave is rusty. The water pressure in the kitchen is low. The shower is extremely small, with broken dated tiles, and old rusty handles. The single bed is actually a cot. There was a toenail in the bed when we pulled back the blankets. Nothing about this place felt cozy. We've used vrbo for years...before the app and we've never been disappointed, until now.
