Situated along the Gulf Coast, Clearwater is a city blessed with shiny white sand beaches and warm weather for pretty much most of the year. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy what this sunny city has to offer. I recommend dropping by the city’s best beach bars and hanging out with your besties, sipping the various signature mixes. You can also try some watersports, charter a fishing boat, or hit the nightclubs. Clearwater also has plenty of lovely hotels along the beach where you can enjoy a pampered stay. But if you’re looking for something more private, then go ahead and take a look at these best Airbnb vacation rentals in Clearwater, Florida.
What to look forward to:
- Pier 60 is an unmissable attraction for tourists in Clearwater and features a 1,080-ft (329.18-m) fishing pier, recreational park, night fishing, beach playground, and gorgeous sunsets.
- Those interested in learning more about the ocean's inhabitants should visit Clearwater Marine Aquarium, which houses rescued marine animals such as dolphins, sea turtles, otters, and more.

This is a tiny house built in the host’s backyard. Your pets are welcome to stay and meet the resident canine. The patio just off the entrance has a charming outdoor set and a sun lounger on a grass turf. The place has a chill vibe, so I have a feeling you’d be happy to just sit among potted plants while sipping your morning coffee. Your pet can nap in the outdoor area while you prepare for the trip to the beach.
Both the futon sleeper on the ground floor and the loft up the ladder are made up cozily. You can watch TV while unwinding and chatting about your Gulf Coast adventures.

There are also comfy chairs in the area, the perfect spot to chill out.
Upon entering, you will see the living area, where the romantic vibe is undeniable. Do note that the ceiling is low, so watch your head. Up the wooden staircase is an even bigger surprise. The bedroom is a creative expression of the host’s idea of a perfect romantic getaway.
