Excellent location, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Not far from Pier 60. We had a 2 bedroom apartment very clean and spacious. We had a nice relaxing time on the patio overlooking the water. Overall it was great. Highly recommended.

My wife and I spent four days/ three nights at unit #12 and it was an awesome experience. First of all, the location of the unit was amazing. We were only a few blocks to the beach and several outstanding restaurants. The owners of the unit, Lea and Anna, were fantastic to work with. They were very accommodating and attentive to all of our inquiries. Their communication with us was fantastic. The unit itself was just what we were looking for. It was very clean, comfortable and well-suited to our needs. The surroundings were very delightful, peaceful and serene. If you are planning on spending any time at Clearwater Beach, I would highly recommend you look into their accommodations.

The room we had was right on the bay. BEAUTIFUL view! The hosts were very responsive to messages and answered all of my questions prior to arrival. The room was VERY clean! We were able to walk to the beach from the unit. It was also a very safe, quiet area. I can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I have stayed at the Bay Motel multiply times. We truly love it. If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful, relaxing place to stay this is it. Off the beaten path but within walking distance to the beach, most restaurants and stores. Rooms are very clean, comfortable and cozy. We feel right at home as soon as we arrive. Anna and Lea are very accommodating with any needs that may arise. Communication is wonderful. Don’t pass this up.!

Great location! Myself and my best friend booked a room on Airbnb within two weeks of arriving and it was the perfect spot. Great location, close to the beach and to the downtown Clearwater Beach shops and restaurants! Clean and very efficient for us. Would stay here again!

We definitely enjoyed our stay a couple of weeks ago at unit 5b. We loved the cozy feel of that unit, especially the waterfront location and view!! Easy walking distance to beach, and so many restaurants. Wish we had better weather that weekend, but even on a full rainy day we stayed inside the unit and enjoyed the bay view and cozy accommodations. We enjoyed our stay there for sure. Also great communication from the hosts. Thank you!!

Great place to stay in Clearwater! Walking distance to the beach and main drag. The rooms come with everything you would need for a nice beach vacation. It’s cute, quiet and charming. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were nice! 10/10 would definitely stay here again.
