Amazing Vacation

This is our second time staying in one of Kit & Gary's condos. The host think of everything to make your stay enjoyable and to feel like the comforts of home. The unit was absolutely beautiful and clean! Beds were comfortable and luxurious! Close proximity to the beach and lots of restaurants. Wagon, chairs, cooler, boogie boards...the list goes on and on! They truly have thought of everything. We are already planning our next trip.

Winter Getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay at Dock of the Bay. We found it to be just as advertised and seen in the pictures. The amenities were as described and more than adequate for our needs. Just far enough away from the crowds, yet a 5 minute walk to all the activity and sites. We would recommend giving the Dock of the Bay a chance to provide a relaxing getaway for all who seek it.

A perfect stay

Excellent communication with the owners prior to our stay and checking in on us during the stay was the right level. Beautiful condo, sparkling clean, the most comfortable beds, had the best sleeps. The little touches, from beach items - trolley, chairs, cool box to an umbrella should there be rain! Welcome gift was a lovely touch and a superb location, walking distance to everywhere.

Cut short by Hurricane Helene

We booked this lovely unit for two weeks starting September 23rd. Stayed one night and left because Helene was coming. Drove inland for 3 nights hoping to return but couldn’t due to Helene. Kit, the owner, graciously refunded all but one night and the service fee. VRBO refunded the taxes with exception of the one night. We hope to return when Clearwater Beach is able to accept tourists.

Great holiday stay

We spent five nights over Christmas at Dock of the Bay. We enjoyed our stay. The property is ideally situated. It overlooks a dock and the bay, takes five minutes of walking to the beach, and is surrounded by restaurants and other amenities. Traffic in Clearwater Beach during the holidays can be egregious. The condo building itself is just off the main road, so it is easy to get in and out and is quiet at night.The condo itself was recently renovated. It is equipped with everything we need. We traveled with the elderly and a small child. We particularly liked the layout of the property, with a set of "suites" (a bedroom and a bathroom) on both sides of the condo. So at night residents in either end do not disturb each other.Kit and Gary are great hosts! The communications were smooth and they replied to our requests and questions promptly. It was a great experience and would definitely recommend!
