Frank P.Quiet getaway
Scott's house was a perfect getaway for my wife and I. We were both able to work remotely with an excellent internet connection. The house is clean, well equipped and well situated with easy access to all the things we wanted to do within a 15 minute drive. We especially enjoyed the Long Center for work outs and lap swims in the awesome 50m pool. Dunedun, Safety Harbor, downtown Clearwater. All easy to get to and enjoy.

Arcelia L.A paradise that everyone should enjoy.
I don't know where to start it's been almost a year since we stay (2023 August) at the amazing Sand Dollar paradise, and I don't have words to describe it, the pictures and the description doesn't make justice of the place, Cristal and Scott were so helpful so easy to talk and they were available and happy to answer all my questions, they covered everything and we feel like home, we will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.

Danny F.Family Vacation
I would like to start off by thanking both Scott and Crystal for making our first trip to Clearwater a memorable and enjoyable experience. All questions and requests were answered in record fashion. From the moment we entered the home, we felt at home! The home is spacious, very clean and organized. Not to mention the pool is a big plus! It is very well situated, near all stores and restaurants, not to mention short drive to surrounding beaches. Thanks again Scott and Crystal, we will most definitely be back and recommend your home to our family and friends.
