406 Dockside

Great place to stay with kids.

This was a perfect place for a couple. The view off the front deck was lovely. It was quiet and peaceful with a great view of the causeway.

We spent 7 nights at Dockside. Every day the parking lot would fill with people parking for free to go to the beach. At night the tow truck would come and check the lot for renters who forgot to hang a big yellow sign from their mirror. Yes, I forgot to hang the sign on my seventh night. It resulted in a missed flight and expenses for an Uber, Fee to get the car from the people who towed it and the damage to the rental car caused by the tow. (yet to be determined). There are plenty of other places to stay, I don't recommend 445 S. Hamden, Dockside.

I can start with a lot of good comments. A couple of things we called about were Handled prompt and very courteously. On the not good side, My wife was very disappointed at first. She complained that she did not come to clean. Dirty and dusty everywhere. I had to wash the windows inside and out. Another complaint of my wife was the kitchen was hard for her to reach the cupboards. Glasses and cups were over the counter. Last the sofa sleeper is old, creaky and unpleasant. I sound like a bad complaining person, which is not what I want to be, summarizing, we enjoyed the stay. Bob Walberg

Really enjoyed our stay here! Property was very well kept. The view from the main balcony was fantastic! Back balcony view just a parking lot was still very nice. Very easy to check in and out, pool was conveniently located and very nice as well. South end of the beach was maybe a 5-7 minute walk. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware for the minimal amount of cooking we did. Bedroom had plenty of storage space for clothes and was big enough to put our son’s pack n play next to the bed without it feeling cramped. Would definitely recommend staying here! Thanks for a great stay!

Bad maintenance and hospitality. No way should I went 5 days without air; even the GM Rocio said that they dropped the ball on this air conditioning situation and that should been taken care of with in 24hrs

Where do we start? In the past we ALWAYS enjoyed and had pleasant memories at this very convenient location. However, this trip has given some different memories that we are not so fond of. We arrived at 4:00 pm on the 5th as instructed. We were not able to access the condo with the access code that was provided in advance, this had never happened before. So, there we stood in 90 + degree weather with all of our luggage. After several attempts we called for assistance. After two phone calls and messages we received a call back and was provided a new code. Upon opening the door, we were greeted with an awful musty smell. We were optimistic that it was temporary due to the air condition temperature being turned up for so long. The next issue was the parking passes had the wrong dates and were expired. A call was made to report this discrepancy and we were told to cross out the dates and write in the correct ones. We did that and prayed our car did not get towed as all the warnings that were posted stated. We held out until Sunday at lunch time with the smell, but it did not go away. We purchased 2 cans of Lysol to help with the smell and was not sure if we should be concerned about bacteria and was using it as a precaution. We made the decision to call for help again. We were informed that the system needed vinegar added to the drainpipe. The person said there should be a bottle there, it was not. She said she would bring one to us and she did 4 hours later. She then said we were to watch a YouTube video on how to add vinegar to the AC drain. Now, we are the maintenance persons on OUR vacation. We were able to accomplish the task however, it needed done several times to the point of using the whole bottle provided and another was purchased to use. The remainder was left behind for the next unfortunate renter. There were some house cleaning issues that need to be addressed. The toilet had black mold and dirt up under the rim of the bowl. The bathroom fan also has a VERY fuzzy layer of dust on it. The other air vents also are not clean and could use some attention. We were excited to see Jim, the former property maintenance manager one day and we expressed our concerns. He was gracious enough to say he would pass along the feedback. We pointed out that this would have NEVER happened on Jimmy's Watch! We are now thinking about where to stay in the future but hate to leave this fabulous location. We have stayed here in several of the Dockside condos at least 10 times and it has become a home away from home. We are hoping our feedback will be received to help improve for future stays here!

We really enjoyed our stay at this unit. The unit could use a little TLC but overall it was very nice

Love the location!!!! Condo was nice minor flaws dishwasher not secured moves when you open the door. Big center piece of mirror missing but condo fully functioning. This is my second Rims staying at Dockside ?

Overall we loved our stay at Dockside. This is our third time in this building, first time in this until. The unit was clean and well equipped with the exception of no steak knives. A few things that could use some attention: The mattress could use replacing as we felt it was very uncomfortable. The front door sticks so that could be adjusted and the dishwasher door could also use some adjustment. The booking and checkin was simple, the communciation with iTrips was easy. The view is amazing and we would definitely rent here again. Love the location to the beach and all the bars and restaurants.

Awesome place, great location, very clean. Would highly recommend it to friends.

I was disappointed in that I did not get directions to the condo that I requested and had to rely on goggle map (which wasn't quite accurate). Lucky that I had a map of Clearwater and got here finally. Also, there weren't any instructions in the condo to explain how to use the TV (three remotes) or where the W/D was. We had to call to get this info. The condo is adequate for two. It would be very crowded for four adults. Furnishings are fair - mismatched dishes, two overstuffed couches (one would be enough), had trouble with dishwasher at first but its working okay now. Traffic can be very slow at times especially late afternoon and early evening. Lots of tour boats and things for family entertainment (not our bag, we are senior seniors). Also, bars galore - for the spring beakers I would assume.

We stayed at #406 dockside for a week. Great location, walking distance to the beach & lots of restaurants. We have stayed at many different condos over the years. We found this one very dated in some areas. The couches had stains on the cushions. The bathroom was missing face clothes & a bath mat. It would of been nice to have had beach chairs, a beach umbrella & a small cooler available to use. We bought a beach chair & left it in the condo so other people can use it. There were people smoking on the outdoor balconies which was annoying if you had to walk pass them to get to your condo. Also there were a few dogs staying there that were barking at all hours of the day/ evening. The elevator was not working properly while we were there. Had to walk down carrying luggage.

This was our third stay in this condo and this time we felt quite disappointed for the following reasons. 1. I immediately noticed long human hair and dust on the bathroom floor - behind the door- plus long hairs on top of the toilet cistern. The light above the bath/ shower did not work. There was a bulb out above the bathroom mirror. The electrical socket in the bathroom did not work. The shower curtain was old and very mouldy on the bottom. 2. There was a thick layer of white dust on the TV console - very noticeable. Clearly had not been cleaned for some connsiderable time. 3. The taps on the kitchen sink were greasy and needed to be cleaned. 4. The whole condo needs an update and a thorough clean. The crockery and glassware should be replaced as both old and used. Whilst we will be returning to Dockside Condos next year we will no longer stay in this particular condo. We have already made arrangements elsewhere. Perhaps you would bring this review to the notice of the owners Louise Jones

This is a perfect condo for two. Very clean, updated, comfortable bed and two balconies so we could get sun or shade all day long. The pool was nice and never crowded and the location is close to everything Clearwater Beach has to offer. We loved watching the dolphins and manatee and hope to return

We like the condo and warm weather

Condo is small but very nice . perfect for 3 -4 people. Overlooks inlet and faces the small causeway. Be patient with trying to get in the front door. Takes a few moments to register the numbers to enter. Take advantage of the Uber and charters out of Tampa. Dont rent a car...the condo is 200 yards from the beach and walking distance to everything. Take advantage of the Jolley Trolley

Loved the condo. Could have had more direction on what pool is part of the condo . if you call Uber be sure to note that you are at Dockside . There is another building across the street to the left with the same address.

Overall enjoyed Clearwater but didnt realize initially how busy the place was.

We like the place and accommodations are accurate from description. Upon arrival, however, the stovetop burner was on and the countertop was sticky. Also, there was sand in the bathroom floor. Overall, we are enjoying our stay. Just thought those things needed to be communicated.
