Great location

We liked the location being so close to the beach and close to a restaurant and a gas station. Everything is within walking distance, even a big public pool. Would have liked extra locks on the two back doors that lead outside, but we didn’t have any issues. 3 beds and an additional pull out bed. Great customer service.

Awesome Location!

I loved my stay at Sandy Shores. The location is absolute perfection. Across the street from the Palm Inn Restaurant and steps from the beach which could not have been more convenient. From there it's just a five minute walk to the shops and restaurants of Clearwater beach. The place was much bigger than I thought and was presentable and comfortable. Allison from Belloise realty was also extremely helpful in the setup process. A 10/10 trip

The Great, The Good, and The Surprise

The Great- the property is literally steps away from the beach. Our family of 6 loved being so close to the ocean. The Good- the house was very spacious and clean. Beds were super comfy! Kitchen had everything we needed too! The Surprise- we booked our stay through VRBO. Our paid receipt stated (adults, children, pets). The day of check in we get a call from Belloise Realty that our pets haven’t been accounted for, that we will be charged (and were) for them. The warning here, better check on your fees before (thinking it’s ALL PAID for.

Beach House

Registration was a breeze. Received numerous emails with information needed and information for us prior to check in. Check in was easy. Received email with the door code a few hours before check in time at 4pm. Once we arrived, it was as we expected. An average beach house that has seen a fair amount of use over the years. Nothing super nice, nothing super junky. If you’re going to Clearwater for a vacation, you’re not going there to stay inside, only need a place for your stuff. The place came with all needed dishes, single beach chair, several beach towels, some little kid beach toys, one beach umbrella. The A/C blew nice and cold. My only issue was with the hot water. It never stayed on. In one shower it would go from cold to hot 6 times in 10 minutes. Don’t know if it was an on demand tankless water heater or a very small water heater. I never saw it. One other issue was our rental was set up through Verbo. It asked if we had a dog, which I marked yes. Verbo did not charge the pet fee and I received a phone call after check out asking if we had a dog. I said I marked yes on Verbo when the reservation was made. The manager an apologized and said that they haven’t been able to figure out how to get Verbo to charge the pet fee, so they would have to charge me the fee themselves. Easily walking distance to all the downtown attractions. Exit the front door, turn right and walk 30 steps and you’re on the beach. We will stay here again.

We really enjoyed this beach home and it's close proximity to the beach, the bar, and the convenience store. It was far enough away from the chaos, yet an easy walk when we chose to venture downtown. The home was clean and comfortable with modern furnishings. I would definitely stay there again, and probably will.

Wonderful location

We really enjoyed our stay! It was very family friendly and the location was perfect. We had a small child and elderly with us and were able to easily come and go from the beach. The only thing I wish I knew was how well equipped the house was so that I didn’t pack as much as I did. We loved it and will be back!

Sandy Shores II

We had a great time, the property was just as it was described, it was less than a minute walk to the beach, and I'm not a fast walker, it's a older property, but well maintained and decorated very cute! We had a great time there, and would recommend it to budget minded vacationers!

I love this location and I love this older house! The location is phenomenal to eateries, bars and shopping! I have been a renter here for 7 years and the best part of being here is 30 steps from being on the sugary white sands of Clearwater Beach!!

The Perfect Beachside Vacation Location, Location, Location......

Sandy Shores II is perfectly located in the heart of Clearwater Beach, literally steps away from the beach. Should you choose to venture away from the beach and the perfectly appointed accommodations, everything you could ever need is within walking distance, including fantastic restaurants, bars, etc. White sugar sand, and gorgeous sunsets. The perfect beach vacation location!

Old home with charm

House was a good location to the beach. Sad to see so many high rises going in & the old homes disappearing. This was an older home for sure, but had everything we needed.

It is an older property, but very well maintained and very spacious. About 10 steps from the front door and you are literally on beach sand. Will definitely stay here again. Love the fact that you can walk the beach or either the shopping strip. Its all in a comfortable walking distance.

This "Old Florida Charm" home has captured my heart for 8 wonderful years! If the walls could talk, I am sure the stories of the days of old would be plentiful! If you're looking to capture full moons, fabulous sunsets, and the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico in Clearwater Beach, look no further! Relax, and enjoy. This IS the place!

Steps from the beach

We enjoyed that the beach was only a few steps away from this property. There was plenty of room and could have had more people stay there. We liked the bathroom, living space and kitchen. The beds were not to our liking and had difficulty sleeping. I would suggest investing in new beds for the property.
