Clearwater Stay
Seashell is a great name for the beach. The location was perfect for beach access just a few steps away. The beach was in great shape considering two hurricanes went through. Some restaurants were still closed for repair but that was fine. The property could have stood to be cleaned before our stay. Sand/hair all over the house but other than that it was a very nice cottage.

Clearwater Beach House
Cannot stress enough how amazing the property and local area is. Beautifully presented yet felt homely and modern at the same time. Everything you could possibly need for a 1 night stay or 2 weeks. Literally 10 seconds walk from the beach where you can catch the dolphins and pelicans. Great communication throughout and very accommodating to our requests. Will definitely stay here again, here’s hoping for availability in May 26.

Nice Location
Right at the beach - we swam during the sunrise and two dolphins were beside us one morning. Lovely. But the house was not as clean as we would’ve liked. For example, when we pulled out the sofa bed, underneath was dirty and there was obvious trash there - it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. Also, the grill is tiny and the charcoal had been left out - it must’ve been rained on because it wouldn’t light. We had to improvise. The good thing is that there was ample kitchenware for us to move the cookout inside. Also - the washer and dryer were great. The woman who runs the property is really nice and accommodating - she answered our questions happily. Unfortunately, we left a hat there that had special meaning but didn’t hear back when we asked about it. We would’ve paid to have it shipped to us. We wouldn’t rent the property again but still had a nice time.

This was our 3rd time going back to this VRBO and I can't say enough good things about it. Host communication, location and cleanliness are 10/10. Kitchen and every day used supplies were well stocked. Walking distance to Pier 60 area. Already planning to go back next year!

Place is really cute, well kept, thoughtful in amenities for guests (directions how to do everything, enough places to store/hang clothes, towels). Layout is perfect for a couple or friend with two separate bedrooms and dedicated bath.

Spring break family fun!
What an amazing place! Everything was comfortable from the beach chairs to the beds-including a comfortable pull out couch! The cottage is so well appointed, so many wonderful details that made it feel like home. Love the game cabinet and appreciated the beach wagon. Not that it’s a far walk for the beach! Everything was just convenient (minus groceries stores being far but that has nothing to do with this sweet cottage.) The kitchen had everything we needed for all our meals (get all groceries before heading over the bridge) and tons of space to feed friends at that great table and bench. So helpful with our crazy check in times due to flight changes. Wonderful hosts! Thank you for helping our family make wonderful memories!

This was our 2nd visit to this VRBO and loved it just as much as the first time. The host is an excellent communicator, the house is about a 10 second walk to the beach and the house is very comfortable. Great, all the way around!

Very Charming beach cottage!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Sea Shell cottage! What a great find! We flew in for a family reunion for 30+ people. The cottage was very cozy, charming & cute! Linens were soft and both beds comfortable. The Kitchen was stocked with everything except for a few “chip clips”. The beach is a few steps away…Beach toys & umbrellas provided. Although the umbrellas will need to be replaced soon. Our family members who visited during our stay were extremely complimentary of the property & plan to book in the near future. The location is just perfect! I wish we could have toured the other cottages during our stay. Location, location, location!!! We were able to walk to everything within a mile. Great restaurants everywhere! The added bonus is the family owned pizza place across the street! Perfect for the teenagers who are always “hungry “ after repeated daily visits to the beach. Our extended family rated the menu 8/10 stars. Did I mention there was plenty of outdoor seating available for your morning coffee/tea or sunset glass of wine to unwind from your day. Check out is 10am. 11am would have been a better time for my family. Jennifer the property owner is accessible and friendly. We cannot wait to visit Clearwater beach in the near future! We are definitely staying at this cottage again!!! Overall rating 9.5 out of 10.

Beautiful cottage, few small issues
The location of the cottage couldn't have been better. On the quieter north side of the island, steps from the beach, couldn't ask for more. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars was the cleaniness of the cottage itself. The inside smelled a bit like smoke and there were a few too many stray hairs laying around for our liking. Nothing a quick wipe down didn't fix, but it seemed like the cleaning people could have done a bit better in between visitors. All that being said, Jenn was helpful leading up the trip and the trip itself was fantastic. We would definitely consider renting this cottage again!
