With its beach decor charm with 1 full bathroom and 1/2 plus washer and dryer amenities and access to the beach my family loved staying here. The owner met us as we pulled into the driveway. Randy was delightful and was there if we needed anything. No need to bring anything, It is all there from having a beach wagon, beach chairs, canopy, sand toys, and even sand roll out mats. The living room and both bedrooms had smart TVs for those rainy days for inside activities. Looking forward to staying here on future Belleair Beach vacations. ##### Ken K.

Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### lauren c. Jul 3, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Worst experience using a vrbo or airbnb We planned this trip sort of last minute for a family vacation. The listing is pretty inaccurate and hasn’t been updated. This area was hit by a major storm last year so understandably some things outside looked different than the photos. Inside you could tell there was water damage and things had been painted over. This is all understandable.What is not understandable is the cleanliness of the property. The owner was staying upstairs while we were there and he apparently “cleaned” the property. The place was very dirty, we saw bugs, the mirror had the previous renters splashes all over it from brushing their teeth… again, I’m capable of wiping off a mirror and we got bug traps from the owner so OK I can look past this. The entire time we were there, which was shorter than we had booked as we left early, the owner was working on the property. Sawing, hammering nails, drilling, at one point other people were there with a ladder right where our outdoor shower was to clean off as we came back from the beach… he was replacing the siding on the house while we were there! I contacted Vrbo when we left two days early asking for those two days back and sent them photos and short clips of videos I took of the sounds via email as I couldn’t send the full videos due to their size. It took them a full week to respond to me saying they weren’t giving me back anything. Needless to say I won’t be using vrbo again and definitely don’t recommend this property. ![This is the owner and others doing who knows what as we approached from the beach to rinse off right where they were](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c65043f-aecd-4217-a0d5-a6d22d620ef8-1751550586392.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![This is right outside the bedroom window so my kids couldn’t nap ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5e133257-1b51-4998-b7ec-106f7d999b32-1751550586481.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![You can see the new siding that is wood colored.

We had an amazing vacation. This cottage was so cozy and very clean. We enjoyed our stay, spent our evenings either on the beach, on the deck or out and about. There is so much to do and see , from the little restaurants to Clearwater and Johns Pass we had plenty to do for all ages. Our only mix up was that the key wasn’t left out for us so we had to call and wait outside but eventually found that the back door was left open. Not really a big deal and it was taken care of quickly. Also there needs to be a curtain on the kitchen door as there is another cozy cottage behind it and we had busy back door neighbors The beds were very comfortable especially the king in the master bedroom. I don’t think I have ever slept in such a cozy bed All in all it was the perfect vacation in a cottage that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place at the beach. Thank you for opening your cozy cottage to us we loved it! ##### Lori L.
