House at North Tampa 3BR & 2BA + Backyard
Thank you Karina. We loved the house. Felt welcoming & cozy. See you another time 🙋🏻♀️🌴✈️

Beautiful Home In S Tampa Near Water & Downtown
My husband and I stumbled on this place for a last minute, short trip to Tampa and it was amazing - very spacious and more than two of us really needed, but such a lovely stay! The walk to the bay took maybe 1 minute, and it was a wonderful, private location to get back to when we weren’t out and about. It’s a great spot with a great host, and we would love to come back and stay, especially if we travel with some family. Thanks, Jason!

Waterfront Luxury Heated Pool/Hot Tub 5 bedrooms
The house was well stocked and very clean. The pool was at a perfect temperature and also clean. Location was great, close to many restaurants and beaches. Great for a family vacation with little ones. The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The only downside (to be expected) is the number of biting bugs in the morning/evening - there were no outdoor screened in areas, and there were a lot of raccoons that came into the backyard at night. Not a great place to spend nights outside, but this is discouraged by the host understandably, as the house is in a neighborhood with mostly locals. All in all it was a great experience and we would recommend it to friends/family, and stay again.

Huge & Heated Pool Home 5 Minutes Away from Beach!
Mark's place was great. I would definitely stay there again with my family highly recommend his place.

Luxury Home centrally located in Tampa Bay!
It was easy to find and check in. Ray was helpful when had a bug issue and addressed it immediately.

Bungalow near the sea
Jeff is great with communication, location is fantastic very close to everything!

Twin Duplexes (6 total Bedrooms) in Tampa Heights
Great place centrally located to downtown. We rented both units A & B to accommodate our family for our daughter’s graduation. We were able to reach all venues w/in minutes. Great restaurants close by as well. Beds were very comfortable but know that 1 of the bedrooms you are basically on the floor. Luckily my husband and I are still able to get up off the floor. Ha!

Delightful elegant lake home
This home truly exceeded our expectations! Immaculately clean, incredibly spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—including a generous supply of essentials like paper products and cooking spices. The serene lake and inviting pool created a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere, while the centrally located, peaceful neighborhood made our stay even more enjoyable. Each of the four beds provided exceptional comfort, and the ample living room seating easily accommodated our family of five. If you're visiting the Tampa Bay area, this rental is an absolute gem—we highly recommend it!

Amazing water front view home newly renovated
Fantastic stay!! Highly recommend.

Beach Side STEPS TO BEACH!
This is our second time staying at this house, but our first time in the second floor unit and it was even better than our first stay. Extremely close to the beach and John’s Pass. The actual condo was super clean, comfortable, and accessible. We loved our stay here and cannot wait to come back again soon.

Steps to a Private Beach Clearwater Belleair
We wanted a beach visit after our family spent the week at Disney. It’s a quick easy drive from Orlando. You can’t beat the location of the home! Thanks for allowing us to stay!

#3 Beach house 2/1 only 3 min walk to the beach
Our stay with Vanessa was perfect! The location was so close to the beach, the 5 minute walk with a crossing signal was key! Also, the unit was very clean and well equipped. We cooked most meals at the unit and enjoyed sitting outside near the big banyan tree. Highly recommend this place.We visit the area often and I would love to stay here again!

Heated Pool & Hot Tub 0.7 mile from Beach
We came to the west coast to celebrate Mother’s Day with our daughter who lives here. Aaron and Amy’s home was perfect, We were greeted with a nice basket of goodies.

Tiny Container Home Oasis Near Bush Gardens
Cesars place was lovely exactly what is needed for a couples get away! Less than 5 mins from Bush gardens

THE HOUSE - 32 Steps to the Beach - Beautiful Clearwater Beach Home just across from the Beach - Drive to your door.
This was our 2nd stay and it was just as pleasant as the first time! The extremely short walk right across the street to the beach, quiet neighborhood, less crowded section of the beach, along with the close proximity to restaurants makes it the perfect little getaway! It's probably the most well stocked home with everything you can think of needing (including both a hot pot and tea pot for your tea, beach towels, beach chairs, wagons, boogie boards ECT) It's a clean, comfortable place that makes us feel right at home. We also love the option of the hot tub to relax in for the evening. The hosts are very kind/helpful. It's the perfect little beach getaway. Thank you again! This place has a special place in our hearts. Happy memories made!

Private Beachfront 2BR BUNGALOW*POOL*PETS ok
Amazing place to stay for a relaxing beach vacation!!! The cottage is adorable with a gorgeous view and you can’t beat walking right out the back door to the beach! We love staying here!

Mini-Golf 2/1 with Heated pool.
Really accommodating hosts!!! The place was cute and the backyard is absolutely gorgeous, the best part of this stay. Ac works well thank goodness; The beds are comfortable but the sheets stay very hot. Place is clean enough to feel at home, the only thing I would say is the floors ( i have a crawling child so this stood out to me) could use a deep clean but were still obviously mopped so it was acceptable. There are most beach supplies which is so helpful, we left some sand toys. This is very family oriented stay and was wonderful with a toddler. We recommend montys pizza near here (really good pizza and a retro environment10/10) If you plan to cook often the kitchen has plenty of dishes and enough supplies to get the job done, and a regular coffee maker ( i hate k cups lol) i do hope to stay here again.

Pass-a-Grille Historic Cottage Unit 2
My family had a very enjoyable 4 night stay at Jacqueline’s cottage. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The beach supplies left by past guest was also very helpful! Private parking was also a plus since area gets quite busy. All around great trip and looking forward to our next visit!

Brisas Del Mar private space near the airport
Moraima is an exceptional host and highly recommended. She is always there if you need anything but very respectful of your space. The property is very clean with a very comfortable setting and great selection of coffee.

Global Inspired pool Retreat Oasis
The house is spacious and well equipped with everything you’d need to feel comfortable. I enjoyed sitting on the back porch, watching nature, and swimming in the pool. Thomas was incredibly responsive, when a few minor things happened, he made sure to take care of them quickly. He also went out of his way to make recommendations for local areas to rent a home. I’d definitely stay here again!

Private rental unit - St Pete - 10 Min to Beach
Was super location and perfect for commuting for work. Room was set back, so you didn't hear the traffic. Close to planet fitness which was great.

Your guide to Clearwater
All About Clearwater
Sitting on Florida’s Gulf Coast, just 20 miles northwest of Tampa, Clearwater is a blend of small beachside town and metropolitan hotspot. Here you can bask in the sun on the sugar-white sand beaches while boats bob in the Clearwater Harbor Marina. Along the Beach Walk promenade flagged by mangrove trees, five-star restaurants bump elbows with casual beachside seafood eateries, featuring local specialties like freshly caught stone crab or grouper sandwiches. In the evening Pier 60 holds a nightly sunset festival, where vendors set up stalls and street performers show off their music, magic, and more.
Caladesi Island State Park, which can be reached by ferry, offers miles of hiking or biking trails and the chance to kayak over the crystal clear waters of the gulf. This pristine island is home to several natural habitats that are crucial to the survival of native plant and animal species.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Clearwater
With Clearwater’s location on the Gulf Coast, the city experiences mild weather all year round. Summer brings high heat and humidity, and the start of hurricane season means this is Clearwater’s slow season. In October, temperatures start to cool off but there are fewer visitors than in the peak winter and spring season, so this may be an ideal time to book your Clearwater vacation rental if you’re looking for a quiet getaway. Snowbirds and spring breakers come to the area in the winter and early spring to enjoy the warm weather and beautiful beaches, making this the busiest time of the year.
Clearwater hosts a music and arts festival every May, and each June the streets transform into a living gallery during the Art Walk. Foodies looking to indulge in the region’s cuisine may want to visit in late October when the Stone Crab Festival celebrates the local delicacy.
Top things to do in Clearwater
Sand Key Bridge
The views from this concrete bridge connecting Clearwater with the more secluded Sand Key Park make Sand Key Bridge worth visiting. On one side of the walking path is the beautiful Clearwater skyline, with shimmering glass skyscrapers reflecting the waters of the Gulf. Opposite that are the swaying mangrove trees, salt marshes, and white sand beaches of Sand Key Park, where you can take a quiet stroll through the park’s trails.
Clearwater Dolphins Trail
During your visit to Clearwater, keep a lookout for colorful life-sized dolphin statues. This collaborative art project sponsored by the city comprises more than 120 dolphins designed and created by local artists. The dolphins are made of glass, ceramic, and fiber art, and they are hidden all throughout the city.
Moccasin Lake State Park
This 51-acre nature preserve is an exhibition of the plant and wildlife native to Clearwater Beach, like peacocks, gopher turtles, and birds of prey. Explore miles of trails and boardwalks that pass over gentle streams in the shade of massive oak trees. The preserve is also a rehabilitation center for birds of prey, like the iconic Bald Eagle.
