The air conditioner worked fantastic. Close to nearby shops and restaurants. The dock was super nice saw dolphins and fished off the dock. The place was super nice. Lots of room.
I love the property it was amazing. Very close to the beach and food. I love being able to seat on the deck and look at the water. I highly recommend staying here.
Host was spot on when ask a question. Thanks for that. Place was clean inside and out. Walking distance to everything is true. Only used our rental car 1 time.It was true about the smoke alarm going off when the toaster was used but we just laughed about it so was fine.
Nice little facility perfect for a couple to spend some time. A dock to sit on and enjoy a beverage and and easy walk to experience the beach and nightlife Communication, check in/checkout, finding the place.. everything went very well.
This was a great little place! We loved the proximity to the beach, shopping and food. It was 3 blocks to the beach which was great We had a little issue with the door not locking and the property manager was friendly and prompt. The location was quiet but also close to whatever you wanted to do in Clearwater.
Anchors Up #1 was everything the listing described. The setting is so peaceful and yet close enough to walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, and more. We loved coffee on the dock and evenings enjoying the patio space. It had everything we needed for a quiet respite. We would happily stay here again!
If you need beach chairs, beach towels, or other equipment, area shops have them available for purchase or rent.
Location was great but be prepared to walk to eat and the beach. It was Spring break week so area was busy. I was disappointed we had to go buy paper towel, toilet paper, plates etc. Otherwise we had a fantastic stay. We saw several dolphins on the bay in the morning and evening.
Loved it being so close to the beach, shopping, and entertainment. It was clean, well kept, and provided us with privacy. We met the sweetest, most friendly lady during our stay.
Great condo! Great location! Had everything we needed for a weeks stay and will definitely be staying again when we come down! Great communication with the owner too!!
It was very cute & cozy & was in walking distance of everything. I especially loved the mornings drinking my coffe in the very back on the dock, the view was beautiful. We would definitely stay there again.
