EMERALD RESIDENCES OF BELLEAIR BEACH, Clearwater Beach

The property is located on Belleair Beach in Clearwater Beach, Florida, offering direct, private beachfront access-the sand is just steps from your door. Pier 60 is 10 km away, while John's Pass, The Pier, and The Dali' Museum are within 46 km. The immediate area is quiet and uncrowded, making it a retreat from the noise of the main strips. For shopping and dining, Publix and several restaurants are a short drive across the bridge to the more active side of Clearwater Beach. The surroundings are peaceful, and the beachfront is well-suited for sunset viewing. Parking is free and easy on-site, so a car is convenient, but the location also works well for those who want to stay put and enjoy the private beach.

Accommodations are apartments with a private entrance, air conditioning, and a private bathroom with a bath and shower. Kitchens are full-sized, including a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, microwave, cookware, dishes, and a tea-and-coffee maker. Each apartment has a washing machine, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and an outdoor dining area or balcony. Sea-view balconies are available in some units, but not all-some face the adjacent building or parking area, so confirm the view at booking. Bed configurations vary: 1 bed (often a queen or double) in a separate bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the living room for up to 2 guests. Rooms can feel compact, and some units show dated furnishings and cleanliness issues (dusty baseboards, mold in bathroom). Some living rooms lack air conditioning vents, leading to temperature imbalance. Pull-out sofa linens may not be provided-bring a sleeping bag if the sofa bed is needed. Overall, the apartments prioritise location and kitchen utility over modern decor.

The property does not offer a restaurant, bar, or breakfast service. Each apartment comes with a fully equipped kitchen, allowing guests to prepare their own meals. Cookware, dishes, and utensils are provided. For groceries, Publix is a short drive away. The surrounding quiet area has limited immediate dining, but the main Clearwater Beach strip with many restaurants and shops is a short drive across the bridge. This setup suits those who prefer cooking at the accommodation, but less convenient for guests wanting a hotel-like dining experience.

The property offers direct access to a private beach with white sand, and complimentary bodyboards, umbrellas, and other beach equipment for use. The outdoor swimming pool is small but provides a pool-with-a-view feature. A sun terrace with outdoor furniture, picnic areas, and outdoor showers (to rinse off sand) is available. The beachfront location allows for sunset watching and a quiet, uncrowded swimming experience. The immediate area is peaceful, so for more extensive leisure or nightlife, a short drive across the bridge to central Clearwater Beach is needed.
