Stayed over New Years for a week at this property. Everything was great from communication prior to coming and during the stay. There were a few options to choose from on VRBO at this condo location, and I was debating which unit to choose from. After staying, I know that I chose the right one for a few reasons!
The unit was nice and clean, 2nd bedroom had large beds and own bathroom as well. Large balcony overlooking the water and marina, that we had a few breakfasts on.
The view overlooking the canal is definitely better than overlooking the waterpark which can get noisy and loud even at night with the bar. I don't mind the noise coming from a big city, but I can see how it might bother others, but I definitely enjoyed the peaceful views of the boats and water and would choose that again.
Unit is also conveniently close to the elevator. The buildings laundry machines are next to it (although no one really used it since most units probably have their own laundry in unit like we did) - but it made it even quieter, since you didn't have any neighbours on the one side.
Another bonus was the wagon in the storage unit - we used this for the beach. The beach very close to walk to, but with kids and lugging things to and from the beach it definitely makes a difference.
The neighbourhood is nice, quiet and felt very safe. We drove into Clearwater a couple of times and although there is definitely a lot more action in Clearwater, it was nice to have a quiet retreat away from that.
The waterpark was fun for my boys, 13 and 11 and we enjoyed it despite being there the coldest time of year, and therefore not too busy when we were there.
Overall it was a great relaxing stay and we'd definitely be back!
