Perfect!

We had no problem finding the place. Plenty of room for six grown adults and older kids to sleep. This property is not directly on the beach but a short walk down a dead-end road to it. Absolutely no problems. We took advantage of the hot tub, and when I asked captain Al a question, he responded very quickly. Great memories were made. Walking distance to just about anything we needed.

Clearwater Beach

If you like cottages that are old like I do this is the place for you. Very clean and Al and his crew were very accommodating to whatever you needed. The beach is right down the end of the road which was fantastic! Shops and restaurants are within walking distance which is another plus. Would definitely recommend staying there. Thank you Al for a great week.

We booked this property due to the pictures of the pool that we saw, there is no pool at this location. The pool pictured is a community pool in the area. The kids were pretty bummed. However overall good stay, the hot tub was nice, the location fantastic, walking distance to many restaurants, shops and activities and only steps away from the beach!

Close to beach

It was very close to the beach, steps away but not on the beach and no view of the beach from cottage. Cottage has some repairs needed for floors, sink holes where we were afraid to step,especially in the kitchen. Sofa bed is really bad but kitchen Murphy bed and bedroom bed is good. Location is great, you can walk to everything. Nice palapa in front yard, great place to sit and people watch.

Clearwater Beach

The evening we arrived another guest had taken our bungalow by mistake. I called Capt Al and he immediately resolved the situation by placing us in the Captain’s House which was an upgrade! The location is perfect! We were within walking distance to restaurants and most importantly to us, the beach that allows dogs. The house is close to the road and yet it is very quiet. We plan to return in the near future and recommend Capt Al’s place to you too!

Just as described

This Clearwater Beach property is exactly as it is described - GREAT location and lots of character. There are tons of beach chairs, toys, towels, and umbrellas available on-site. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance and our boat ride with Captain Al was a treat. Everything you need to know is in the listing and printed in a welcome binder. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great Family Mother's Day weekend

This was the perfect little getaway. It was a wonderful experience and continued even up until check out. The Host was absolutely as kind and generous as they come. He was very attentive and made himself very available. There was never a need to go hunting for him as he checked in with us and was always around to conversate. The home was so cozy and clean, Beds were all great, location, bedding, extra linens, just any and everything you would need. I will definitely stay again. There was also the I believe housekeeper who was the sweetest person, I felt as if we had know then for years. Super friendly, We loved every bit of our short stay at the Cottage.

Unique Property and Great Location!

We stayed in the Tiki Hut Cottage and it was very clean and well kept. We had plenty of space with my husband and two adult children. We loved the hot tub and the easy walk to the beach and local restaurants. Capt. Al was around and open for questions. The hospitality staff was very quick to send more towels and bedding and always friendly. My daughter and I used the bikes and explored around the island. We also loved that there were chairs and beach toys available for guest use. Everyone we met around the property, from Capt. Al to the guests, were friendly and we really enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again as it was truly a unique and great property.

About the host

Hosted by Capt. Al

Host profile image
Hello Friends and thanks for visiting my profile. Capt.Al has been a property manager for this beach cottages, and vacation rentals in Clearwater Beach for 15 years. Originally from New Jersey, I have always dreamed of living at the beach. When you come to visit, my first mate Karen, and myself will be happy to show you around, and how to have the best beach vacation ever.

Why they chose this property

This is really the very last real beach cottages left in Clearwater Beach on the beach side of Mandalay ave. It is just a rare piece of Old Florida History, just like Palm Pavillion ( First Bath House in Florida). While most old historic hotels and properties have been torn down, the Cottages still stand. It's like vacationing when you were a kid,, or camping, where the Guest get to mingle in the common back yard with wood party deck and tin roof gazebo. Sit aat the Tiki Hut and watch the Tourist and Local skateboard or bicycle by.

What makes this property unique

Sleep a family of 6 for the price of hotel room, and save a ton on meals, with Weber BBQ grill and full kitchen. This is a house, not a hotel room, so you can feel at home. It is a one bedroom house with Murphy wall bed in kitchen, with door, and queen sofabed in living room, Not a two bedroom, but a great value.and central Air conditioning and Central Heat.
