    Everything was perfect and corresponded to the information on booking. The accommodation was very clean and prepared, the equipment had everything you need. The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly. The pool was very clean. There was absolute and pleasant peace at night. Plenty of parking spaces. Short walking distance to the beautiful beach and restaurants. Absolutely perfect, fast and helpful communication with the accommodation provider. Next visit to Clearwater will definitely be in this accommodation, I recommend it!

    We loved where our room was located on the property. The bay was basically right outside our door along with the pool. The pool water temperature was excellent. If we had any issues in our room, the issue was addressed appropriately. We saw dolphins, a sea turtle, and herons on the bay.

    Overall a good stay, but a few things could be improved. We rent apartments mainly to have easy breakfasts, and while the kitchen was well-equipped for that and more, the frying pans weren’t great, very hard to clean after anything fried. A simple nonstick pan would easily fix this. It would also be helpful to have a few pantry basics like pepper and salt. The shower head was set very low; if you’re around 5’7”, you’ll have to squat to rinse your face. Replacing it with a handheld shower on a hose would make a big difference. No shampoo was provided, just bar soap—which was fine for us since I brought my own, but just an FYI. The air conditioner worked well, though it was quite loud, so we turned it off at night to avoid being woken up. A small drying rack for beach towels and swimsuits would be a helpful addition.

    Just a perfect location—about a 7–8 minute walk to the beach in a quiet area, yet still close to many restaurants and bars. Lovely docks in the back, great for fishing or simply relaxing. Everything was clean, and the people at the property were very friendly. There were enough plates and glasses, and both the air conditioner and fans worked well. Plenty of towels were provided for our 5-night stay, and free parking was included. Knowing all this, I would definitely come back.

    Although very good proximity to the beach and restaurants the road was a bit quiet / didn't look like the nicest of neighbourhoods, however we didn't see or have any issues. Some bits of communal areas were tired / in need of a refresh. We were informed that all of Clearwater had flooded last year, so it may have been related to that. Overall very positive and we would stay there again.

    Lovely big rooms, well furnished, good Aircon. Loved sitting by the water with a tea in the morning, we saw loads of wildlife. Pool was nice, and not at all busy. Friendly place.

    The only thing I noticed was the plumbing could probably be updated. The sink in the bathroom did not drain very well.

    We love the location and the view of the bay! It’s very quiet here. This location is walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. I love the owner and the quick responsiveness to accommodate us on our needs. When we arrived the first day our unit did not have a dresser. We were staying nine days and really needed someplace to store our clothes. I reached out to her and let her know our concerns and she quickly responded and was able to provide us another unit with a dresser. We are very thankful. The cleaning staff were excellent and very friendly.

    The apartment was clean and well stocked. We were comfortable and relaxed as the location was really quiet, with facilities right on the water, which was tranquil, with the occasional boat or dolphin passing by. Perfect location for getting into the main shopping and eating area, and the beach.
