SUNRISE RESORT MOTEL SOUTH, Clearwater Beach

Sunrise Resort Motel South sits just one block from Clearwater Beach, placing the sand and surf within a 5-minute walk. Pier 60 is equally close, offering sunset celebrations and fishing. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is 2 km away, and Caladesi Island State Park is 5 km from the property. For golfers, Clearwater Country Club is 6 km away. The immediate area is dense with dining options - including Cousins Maine Lobster, We The Pizza, and Tropico Rooftop Cantina - all within a 5-minute stroll. Tampa International Airport is about 40 km from the motel; no airport shuttle is available, so a taxi or rideshare is recommended.

The property offers suites, double rooms, studios, and apartments, all with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and a coffee machine. Each room also has a small refrigerator, microwave, and a sink with extra counter space - practical for preparing light meals or snacks. Bed configurations range from one king bed to combinations of double and twin beds (maximum 3 beds in some apartments). A few units feature a separate living room and dressing room. Rooms facing the road can be noisy, especially at night, while courtyard or pool-facing options are quieter. There is no balcony. The motel is older, and some units show signs of wear; for a more comfortable stay, request a room away from the street.

Sunrise Resort Motel South does not have its own restaurant or breakfast service. However, the surrounding area offers numerous dining choices within 0.3-1 km, covering seafood, pizza, Mexican, and American grill options. Notable nearby spots include Cousins Maine Lobster, We The Pizza, CK's, Tropico Rooftop Cantina, and SHOR American Seafood Grill. For a quick bite, King's Pizza is also steps away. Guests who prefer to prepare their own food can use the in-room refrigerator, microwave, and sink. Barbecue facilities are available on site.

The property features an outdoor heated pool surrounded by a sun terrace - ideal for lounging after the beach. On-site barbecue grills allow for casual cookouts. There is no spa, gym, or other wellness facilities. Note that the pool has experienced periods of reduced water level or inoperability; it is wise to confirm its current status with the motel before arrival. The pool does not have a shallow end, so it may be less suitable for young children.

Parking is free and on site but requires a reservation - one car per room. A launderette is available for guest use, and barbecue facilities are set up near the pool area. Internet access is not provided on the property; plan accordingly if you need connectivity. The motel does not offer an airport shuttle; a taxi or rideshare is needed from Tampa International Airport (40 km). Reception hours are 14:00-21:00, but late check-in can be arranged by request. All rooms are non-smoking, with a designated outdoor smoking area. The property is adults-only with a minimum check-in age of 25.
