Great beach cottage
This was our 2nd time staying at the Egret cottage and we had a lovely stay. House is just as it’s pictured. Clean and comfortable. The location is great. Close to the beach yet away from the crowds.

Beach Getaway
The property was as listed, close to the beach, restaurants, and nice kitchen. I saw dolphins from the kitchen window one morning. Beach chairs, toys, and a wagon were provided. The street is listed as a stop on the trolley route, but you may need to flag down the trolley as this stop is not marked on the street. We also walked from here North to Caladesi Island one morning. You do have to navigate thru some mangroves to get there and is about 2 1/2 miles one way. Take sunblock! We also took advantage of the public pool a couple blocks away for a few dollars per person. Overall great stay at the beach.

Perfect last minute trip!
I was looking for a very last minute trip for my family of 4 plus doggie to Clearwater over the long 4th of July weekend and couldn’t believe this gem was still available. We are fairly local so I booked the day we wanted to leave and the Owner was SO accommodating with all of our requests (we had a lot!). She really went above and beyond. Great communication the entire time. This property is unique and owned and managed by a family which gave it a great vibe. Everyone was so friendly! It was the perfect space for a small family with little kids or would be even better for a couple. The place is nicer than the pictures. The location was perfect - great spot on the beach, but out of the busiest area - and we were able to walk with our kids (5yo, 3yo) everywhere for dinner. We didn't get in our car for 3 days! It’s close to the dog beach so our yorkie got to join us each evening for sunsets on the beach. One thing that was unusually handy in the condo was a lot of hooks for hanging suits etc throughout. I’ve been to a lot of beach rentals and this was a really great and thoughtful perk! The bed was comfortable enough and our kids enjoyed the ikea pull out. It was middle of summer and the a/c had a hard time keeping up, but this was not a problem for us (could be for others). Great kitchen for cooking breakfast, nice shower (great for kids). The w/d was outside the unit which would have been inconvenient on a longer trip. But all around a great time! Thanks!!

Great location
The Egret cottage is perfect for a romantic couples getaway. Super close to the beach and just a few blocks from some really good restaurants and bars. A little bit of a walk to the main downtown but totally doable. Having a dedicated parking space is a really nice feature. Pics were true to what you get. Bed is a little on the hard side. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

A wonderful get away!
We loved that the Egret was within walking distance to shops and restaurants, and loved even more it was so close to the beach. We had our dog with us and the area of the beach that allows dogs is only 2 short blocks down. The cottage was very homey and exactly what we were looking for!

As advertised - a nice cottage by the beach
We wanted something close to the water. Egret Cottage was quaint, clean and about 400 paces to the water. Perfect. We brought our own groceries (as advised beforehand), and walked to local restaurants so even the car got a few days off (free parking!). A nice place for a beach vacation.

Excellent little cottage for a weekend getaway.
My wife and I had an awesome time despite the threatening storms. Reached out to Jenn and she was super helpful in accommodating our needs. Even got some dining advise from her father that turned out to be spot on. If I had to ask them for one thing in this cottage it’s better pillows for the bed. Other than that we will be back. You won’t go wrong with this rental.

The perfect place to Rest and Relax
Great location and a great place to spent time with our feet in the sand. It is close enough to the main tourist area to make it convenient, yet far enough away to be quiet and serene. The beach is within steps and it is amazing! Silky white sands and warm ocean waters. We enjoyed the sunsets each night and our walks along the shoreline. Jenn was amazing in her communication and even checked in to make sure everything was going well. Hope to come back soon.

Attractive and Convenient for a Single or Couple
This attractive, well-appointed attic-conversion apartment is just a short walk from Clearwater beach. You can even glimpse the beach from the kitchen windows to check out conditions! Renters should be aware that you have to climb two sets of stairs to access the apartment and that the washer and dryer are located by outside access. This was not an issue from me and my husband, but should be considered. We found the place very comfortable for a weeklong stay.
