I had a kitchen to cook and instacart brought the food. Great stay, next to the beach

Cute place!

This was the perfect place to stay! The hosts were responsive and accommodating. The view was awesome, it had everything you needed, and you could easily walk everywhere. Thank you Mike and Marta!

Needs an outside clean up.rusty old bikes dead potted plants, rotting siding, holes in outside cement walls, overgrown sidewalks Broken doors rodent could easily enter.

It’s an “old Florida” property. We didn’t stay there for amenities and knew we would be coming and going all times of the day. It worked out fine for us. Could it use a little updating? Yes. But I also think the price was right too. The owners were a pleasure to deal with.

Enjoyed our stay and the hosts!

I can't wait to visit again had a great weekend

Good value for money…

Very old, unsafe building. No internet, kitchen dishes were dirty and rooms were dusty.

Has a deck on the intercostal shared with other( about 10) units but next to never saw anyone. Location felt safe. About 1.5 block walk to the beach with easy access. Maintenance on exterior being done-no noise. Unit has full size refrigerator, a small microwave, coffee pot (Mr. Coffee type) and a electric stove (we did not use). Many restaurants walkable nearby. Unit served our purpose of a reasonable few days at the beach. If you are used to fancy condos or high end hotels this unit is not for you but it provided what we needed. The owners were great and made accomadations for us arriving at 1:00am and gave their cell number to contact them with problems even at 1:00am.

This was a nice, clean little apartment that was perfect for my husband and I to get away. It had a back deck with a beautiful view of the harbor and was only a few minutes walk to the beach.

Super close to the ocean and restaurants. For the price don’t expect anything glamorous. Mike was great. Definitely could use some updating but then so would the price. It was clean and functional.

The view was good. Being within walking distance to the beach was good also. But it really needs to be upgraded and secured for safety.

Like the other reviews said, this property definitely needs major updates. However, it suited my cousin and I’s needs for the weekend we stayed there. Hosts were very communicative and responsive. Great location. The place would be absolutely amazing it if we’re updated! Thank you!

Very nice and gracious hosts. Great price and location if you’re able to walk a bit to the main strip

It was represented on the site accurately.It was clean and our king sized bed was great. We had plenty of nice clean towels .I would not plan on using any outside grills and the hotel is dated by the pics you see on site. We were maybe 2 blocks to the beach which was great and we were able to walk to all restaurants , shops , bars , & stores . We enjoyed walking through the town at any hour feeling safe & left our car parked throughout our stay. Our hosts were always available to us..

This was one of our most enjoyed stays on CB by far. Just like home!

The apartment was fine, but the style is older and could use some updating. It is within walking distance to the beach and several restaurants which is great. Our biggest complaint is that there was a used towel hanging up in the bedroom which was a little gross.

Loved staying at Bay Royal, and Mike was a helpful and responsive host! Sitting on the dock watching the mullet jump and the manatee amble through was a blast! The location is within 10 minutes walk of everything you could want to do on Clearwater Beach - restaurants, bars, shops, and the BEACH!

The owners Marta and Michael were the best! Kind, caring, and attentive. I can't speak for the other apartments but ours was pretty dated. The light button and exhaust fan buttons on the exhaust hood, over the stove, were gone and couldn't be used. Most plug outlets already had multiple plugs in them so we had trouble finding places to plug in our stuff. If you drop something on the floor don't look under the couch, chair, or bed. There is a nice large deck over looking the bay and it is very relaxing.

The property was as expected... quaint family run ma/pa type rental with great views of the inter coastal. The room is spacious with amenities needed for a weekend or weeklong stay. I would recommend a pull out sofa, but overall the room was great. The facility as a whole is in need of a some investment rehab. However, the owners are on site and available. Nothing was bad enough to keep me from staying again. Maybe it’s just me with an eye toward always seeing things that could be improved. But it was exactly what I wanted on this trip.

The property was clean and in a great location. It could use some updating, but for the price it is a great deal. when we come back to this area we will rent again! Very convenient and quiet. Nice view from the back deck!

Check-in was easy and the apartment was ready before check-in time and we were given access. The owners were very personable. That’s the good - lesson learned, if no photos of the property are posted, keep looking. The entire property was in disrepair-it appeared to be years of neglect, to the extent there were safety issues - my husband, who is 63 and handicapped, literally fell through the seat of a deck chair -(5’9” and 170 lbs). Deck boards were loose and a trip hazard. Be prepared to have the sound of planes taking off in the living room and bedroom from the “window shaker” cooling units. The tub didn’t drain and was gross. Bed was reasonably comfortable and clean. Beach access is only about a two block walk so that was great and reasonably close to the “strip” area - we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. We enjoyed our stay in Clearwater but if we do return, we will seek other accommodations.

You can't ask for a better location. Owners very friendly, peaceful, pier amazing. Can walk to anything you want. Thanks Had a wonder time.

Was not what we expected. Was not as pictured in ad on the outside. Will not return. Had to figure things out for ourselves.

Great hosts with great location! Walking distance to the beach and restaurants, and a very quiet and relaxing area! Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing getaway!

Mike and Marta were so nice! The property was very clean and so peaceful! Couldn't reccomend them more! I will stay here for my remaining Clearwater trips!

Accommodations were charming and comfortable. Restaurants and beach all within a short walking distance. Dock is a great place to hang out and do some fishing.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The place was perfect for our needs. Spacious, completely stocked, a beautiful deck with gorgeous views of sunrise. And perfect hosts. We could not have asked for more. We would 100% stay here again. It was close to everything, but not so close you heard the crowds.

Perfect spot to enjoy Clearwater beach. Out of the hustle and bustle but you can walk to it in five minutes or less. The property is very clean; Marta said that they are doing extra with the Coronavirus concerns. Bleach, Lysol in all surfaces even the light switches. Kitchen has what you need and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean. Plenty of towels Mike and Marta were easy to deal with. They quickly answered any questions we had before and during our stay The deck overlooking the channel was our favorite spot and it was never crowded. Perfect spot to have a drink and isolate from the virus. The beach itself is a quick two block walk to the west and the property is next to the residential end of the island so it’s pretty quiet. There is lots of seating on the deck and choice of sun or shade It’s like your favorite northern Minnesota lake cabin but with a tropical view and warmth We recommend long beach walks especially up to the state park. But bring water. Also head to downtown St. Petersburg. Need to see the Chihuly glass exhibit. It’s in a part of central ave downtown with lots of little shops and restaurants. Worth the drive Near the apartment go to the original Frenchies for the super grouper sandwich and the friday shrimp basket special. If flying during the virus worries you drive down if you can and you can stay here away from crowds and self-isolate in a great spot It’s not fancy like some other Clearwater beach places but you will really enjoy it
