Cottage had everything we needed - comfortable and convenient with easy walk to beach and short walk or ride to great restaurants and shopping. Kitchen was well equipped. Living room area, bedroom and bathroom were perfectly setup for the beach. Our pet was welcome and loved the beach. We hope to return in the future for another very enjoyable visit! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ddee4476-3a7f-44ca-86b7-2347dc508534-1750862380553.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8686f721-7a56-45c5-b774-506d483088a2-1750862381415.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ebf9f566-ab1a-491e-baf7-819325da51e0-1750862382895.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3e526bea-6c0e-4089-a179-1f599e760add-1750862383679.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Beverly T.

Easy communication with the owner. We enjoyed our stay but really appreciate accuracy, so as not to be disappointed. We knew the cottage was not ON the beach, but we did expect an ocean view as stated. You only see other rooftops and parking lots. And although there is parking for each unit, those in the front of the alleyway cannot get out, so it creates a little tension. We had someone banging on our door late at night because they couldn’t get out. We weren’t even parked there. Maybe some kind of visual sign the guest could put in the windshield would help. We really lucked out by being able to park on the other side of the building completely, since no one was in that unit.. ##### Sharon S.

The place was great, recently remodeled and very clean. The walk to the beach couldn't be easier and there is a great pizza place across the street. The Shipwreck bar across the other street is the perfect local dive bar. Brittany was great to work with and keeps the place perfect. Can't say enough about this place. We will be back. ##### Angela P. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill S.

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. ##### Jill S.

Apr 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Liz Y. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### April W. Jul 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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!! ##### April W. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa M. Sep 13, 2018 #### Perfect intro to Clearwater Beach PROS: \* Easy self check in & out process via lockbox \* Location: 5 minute walk to the beach at end of the street, which as others have pointed out, is at the quieter north-end of Clearwater Beach, but close enough to the pier (5 min drive, 15 min walk on the beach); mini-marts are 5 min away and Publix is 10 min away \* Convenient beach chairs, umbrella, inner tube, pails, etc., though some will need to be replaced soon \* Outdoor shower came in very handy; had no idea how much I'd love it (note - it's designated for the cottage but neighbors can still see you, so it's not exactly private) \* Outdoor grill in the semi-private courtyard, which I would have used if I was staying longer \* Kitchen windows open and have nice partial view of the coast (bedroom as well) \* Kitchen also VERY well stocked with cookware, dinnerware, utensils, even salt & pepper \* Lots of very nice little touches -- bottled water in the fridge -- starter pods for dish washing and laundry -- notebook with restaurant and sight seeing recommendations -- one of the electrical outlets in the kitchen has USB ports -- the well-designed bathroom shower has its own lighting -- Cottonelle moist wipes in the bathroom! -- plenty of rows of hooks to hang as many things as you need -- previous guests, including myself, left plenty of sunscreen CONS: \* Stairs -- there are really 2 sets -- one set to enter the cottage (pictured), and another once you're inside (not pictured). I got used to them, but it's just something to consider if you have joint problems. \* Parking -- this wasn't an issue for me since I was by myself, but there's only 1 dedicated parking space; so if you've got 2 vehicles, one has to park elsewhere ##### Melissa M.

We had a car that we were able to park in the driveway and we visited neighboring beaches and towns. So much to do!! We will be back. Jennifer was friendly and easy to work with, answered our questions in a timely manner. ##### Amanda R C. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Len K.

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. ##### Len K.

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. ##### Kevin F.
