Caladesi Island State Park Kid friendly Vacations

Some of the staff wasn't very knowledgeable about the property and the spa didn't actually offer every amenity advertised, however, the story about the big mama alligator that lives under the bridge was pretty awesome and Stacey that works in the bar made the trip so much more worth it. Side note, I've never had lavender syrup in my cocktail before and it was amazing. There did seem to be a lack of communication between the staff. Maybe a shift report would help keep everybody up to date on the residents that are staying on the property for any length of time.

First time visiting the resort and Clearwater. Great service, cleanliness and amenities. Will definitely be back!

2/5 stars — Avoid: False advertising, poor conditions, and dishonest billing We booked 5 nights at the Avalon but left after 3 due to a string of issues. The "beachfront" view advertised on their website was misleading — in reality, our room overlooked a public parking lot, with the actual beach a few hundred feet beyond that. Amenities weren't much better: the towels and pool/beach chairs were worn out and old, despite an extra $40/day charge to use them. The shower grout was visibly moldy and the sofa looked like they got it off of a curb. After complaining to Expedia about these issues, I received an email from the resort at 5am on day two saying they'd refund our stay, but that I needed to check out by noon that same day or be charged for an additional night. I was off-property in Orlando at the time and couldn't make that window. When I returned, I told the front desk I'd be checking out the next morning at 11am (making it 3 nights total), and they simply said "ok" — no objection, no mention that this would affect the refund. Despite that, I was billed for the full 5 nights. When I called to dispute it, they claimed that because I didn't check out on the exact day specified in their 5am email, they were no longer honoring the refund. Between the false advertising, dated amenities charged at a premium, and a resort that goes back on what its own staff acknowledged, I would not recommend staying here.

Place is very clean and well maintained, the premium room was really nice worked out perfectly for us with 2 bedrooms ,If there was one thing i could recommend would be more comfortable couch / chair in living room but don't let that take away from the very comfortable beds , pool and hot tub were nice and clean also, front desk staff were friendly… parking was never a problem to have a spot… overall nice place to stay!

The Jade House is in an excellent location only a block from the beach and short walk to restaurants, shops, and bars. Communication with the management company was difficult through Expedia. Even when I called directly, one of the three client service agents was not helpful whatsoever. However, once I was given the number to text, communication was much better. The pool/ hot tub area is perfect. The house is very comfortable. Only decks are narrow (only stand); ocean view is from one of theses.

The registration process was intense, but I understood it after seeing the property. So secure, so clean, so perfect for our holiday with our family! They communicated thoroughly and responded to our one request quickly. The amenities were amazing and I loved all the hangars! Thankful for the garage that was included with this unit. Thank you for making this a memorable vacation!

Great location excellent view front 19 floor from the pool

Property looks to be recently renovated. Nice pool, room is large and has a kitchenette. Only drawbacks I can think of were very minor. Blinds in bedroom could use black out curtains or something darker. So bring an eye mask. Pool closes at dusk which is a shame. Location is a few minutes drive to the main beaches. Great value, clean, and service from front desk and house keeping were very good.
