Captain Al’s was awesome!

I would highly recommend Captain Al’s place to anyone looking for a nice cozy spot within steps of the beach! It’s right on the main strip too so all you need to do is walk out the door and there are places for food, shopping, and grabbing a drink.

Minutes from the beach

The house was in a great location just steps away from the white sand beach in Clearwater. There was a pizza place next door with very tasty food. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. We had a great time!

Great location!

Park your car and then forget about it. We loved that we could walk everywhere. We even enjoyed a walk to the Aquarium but there isn’t a lot of shade so if you are having a really hot day maybe take caution, we walked with a nice breeze and mid 70 degree weather.

North Beach Clearwater- Captain Al

My family and I had a great time at Captain Al's, Captains bungalow. The best part was access to the beach! My kids, parents and I could walk to many great restaurants. We were also able to cook and eat at the house. Plenty of room for three teenage girls to find their own space. Overall it was a great trip! We'll be back!

As noted if you are looking for a 5 star vacation this might not be for you, but if you and your friends are looking for a place literally steps from the beach and will get you through a trip book here!!! Captain Al is a greta host and great at communicating.

Great times at the Tommy Bahama

Went to stay in Clearwater at the tommy bahama suite with some friends and had an amazing time. The rooms were clean, furnishing was fitting for a historic beach house and there was a great sound system. Service from captain Al and his first mate Karen was exceptional. Very friendly and accommodating service. Highly recommend if you are looking to be steps from the beach as well as close to local establishments to get food and refreshments. Cheers!

Don't waste your money

Old, nasty, filthy dirty. Antiquated furnishings, decor, rusted fixtures, a window air conditioner that turns on and the outlet sparks. On a busy street, across from a dive bar. Undeniably the worst place we've ever stayed

What a great weekend!

I stayed here with a group of my girlfriends for my 24th birthday weekend. Captain Al was a wonderful host, answering my texts and calls with any questions that we had. The cottage is nice and cozy and steps from the beach! There were even beach chairs available for us to use. The only reason I am not giving five stars is because of the bar directly across the street called shipwreck. While this is in no way or shape Captain Al and the cottages fault, the drunk men leaving this bar after last call were bothering us and almost intrusive to the cottage. We nearly called the cops. Doubt this would be an issue if it weren't a house full of 20 something year old girls though. Other than that, wonderful experience!

Cozy

Beach house was nice for the 5 days/4 nights we rented it for. Was in walking distance from the beach. Walking distance from shops and resturants. Had to clean up before we could unpack. Sand was left on the flooring. Had to unload the dishwasher before we were able to put dirty dishes in it. Had 2 keys to lock/unlock a deadbolt lock on front door. Was not able to enter or leave from back doors. No outside hose or shower to rinse off sand. No stop cleaning from the sand that gets pulled in. With it being a holiday weekend, we where lucky enough to park right in front of the house. Did not have to move do to the closeness to everything.

Myself and seven friends stayed at the Tommy Bahama Island house we had the most fantastic beach vacation ever we were so lucky that we would just walk out the back door and the beach was not even 100 steps away for also located very close to Pier 60 and we never had to move the car and the house is cool eclectic and a lot of fun and most of all the owner rents to young people we were very respectful and did not break anything The house was very clean and had very fine furniture and there was a flatscreen TV with movie channels in each and every bedroom Angelos pizza and many find restaurants were just one or two blocks away Captain Al and his first mate were fantastic property managers they would stop by once or twice a day to see if we needed fresh towels cleaning or any other needs The house is around the block from a common backyard with large tropical plants and wood deck where many of the guests would gather The kitchen was very beautiful and had a dishwasher and two new refrigerators we could not find any fault with this house we also feel it is a cool beach house they do rent to young people and eight of us could not get a hotel even at the Hilton other hotels we would have had to get two or three rooms we felt like the house was a great value and will be happy to return again we don't understand why the prior guest review was that it was not a good value we feel like it was a great value as eight of us we were less than 100 steps from the beach and only five or six blocks to the center of Clearwater Beach called Pier 60 every day we would just walk down the beach in less than a minute and enjoy the beach all day walking back-and-forth to the house we look forward to returning again

Almost Awesome

Honestly, it was great except the floor plan was insane so there was no barrier between rooms. Literally, all the rooms were connected and there was zero privacy. I just think that should be known upfront. I probably would not have minded if I had known upfront but we had a baby so everytime the baby napped everyone had to be absolutely quite. There was no room that we could isolate the baby in. I would have chosen a different condo if I had known. And the pictures of the place were from a different rental. Really frustrating. There would be nothing wrong with the rental if everything had been known upfront. It felt misleading

A month on the beach

We spent most of February in this cute beach house and really enjoyed our stay. While there aren't a lot of fancy frills to the house, the kitchen was great, the beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed. The internet was fast enough to support two kids in online school and two adults working remotely. Captain Al was great and fixed any issues we had right away! We hope to be back!
