DEVON SHORES, Clearwater Beach

Devon Shores sits in the heart of Clearwater Beach, placing the white sand beach just 200 steps (about 2 minutes) from the property. Pier 60, a popular sunset destination, is a 4- to 6-minute walk, and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is 1 km away. Over a dozen restaurants-including Coco Coronado, Cousins Maine Lobster, and Frenchy's South Beach Cafe-are within a 2- to 10-minute walk, making it easy to dine out without a car. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is 15 km away, but dedicated airport shuttle service is not available; free on-site parking and the nearby trolley stop provide practical alternatives. The motel has two buildings on opposite sides of the street, and rooms away from the main road tend to be quieter.

Accommodation at Devon Shores consists of recently updated rooms spread across two two-floor buildings. All rooms feature private bathrooms with showers, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with cable channels, free Wi-Fi, a wardrobe, and a safety deposit box. Options include twin rooms with two full-size beds, spacious king suites, and studios or suites with full kitchens (stovetop, refrigerator, oven, microwave in kitchen-equipped rooms). Some suites include a balcony or terrace with river or sea views, while certain double rooms offer outdoor dining areas. Rooms vary in layout, and those facing the main road can experience more noise; requesting a quieter room is recommended. The property has no elevators.

Devon Shores does not operate a restaurant, bar, or serve breakfast, so all meals need to be planned outside the property. The lobby does provide complimentary fresh coffee and flavored water around the clock, and many rooms have a refrigerator and some kitchen facilities to prepare simple meals. Groceries and beach supplies are available across the street at the Island Market/Surf Style store. The location's strength for dining is the immediate walkability: over a dozen restaurants-covering seafood, pizza, and casual bars-are within a 2- to 10-minute walk, making it easy to find lunch or dinner without a car.

Leisure facilities at Devon Shores center around two heated outdoor pools, both open daily from 10:00 to 20:00 throughout the year. Each pool area is equipped with sun loungers or beach chairs, sun umbrellas, and complimentary pool towels-items that are not provided for the beach itself, though beach towel rentals are available directly across the street. The pool setting is described as peaceful, with one pool offering more shade and the other more sun. There is no spa, gym, or wellness center on the property. The beach and its surrounding activities (shopping, dining, and attractions at Pier 60) are the primary leisure options.

The property provides free private parking on site with no reservation needed, limited to one car per room. A 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/check-out, luggage storage before check-in or after checkout, and early check-in is possible upon request. Daily housekeeping is included at no extra charge, and a guest laundry facility (self-service) is available for an additional fee. All rooms have a safety deposit box, and the building is secured with key card access and CCTV. There is a designated smoking area on the property. No airport shuttle, spa, or business center is available. Payment is accepted via American Express, Visa, Discover, and MasterCard.
