Somerset Huge Beach Rental

Great location but the management company was not compassionate or responsive to our needs. The house was not ready when we arrived, it is need of some updates and regular maintenance.

Great location close to the less crowded part of Clearwater beach. Trolley and ferry stops close by. Safe neighborhood. Lots of room. Private courtyard and pool. While the beach was nice, most of our time was spent socializing, grilling and enjoying some cold beverages around the pool. Of course the pool also drew the kids away from their electronic devices for hours on end. Communication with management was very good and the houses were very clean. You will not need to bring anything for the beach except hats and sunscreen and of course your swimsuit. Lots of towels and other things that guests have purchased and left. Did I mention how awesome the pool was!

The home was exactly what we needed. Easy access to the beach and plenty of room and bathrooms so that everyone was comfortable. The owner was very attentive to our needs. Great stay will definitely be back.

First time we used the kitchen sink the pipe underneath was not connected and a whole sink of water went on the floor which we had to clean up and fix the pipe. The adjacent sink was slow to drain. Shower curtain in the NE bathroom has mold on the bottom 2" of the curtain. The NW bathroom shower built up 2" of water and then slowly drained after you turned the water off. Kitchen cabinet over coffee maker almost fell off and we somewhat fixed that. Refrigerator in the front house did not keep items cold, freezer worked ok. Refrigerator in the back house has a problem with opening and shutting the door. Smoke alarms are missing in both houses, which I'm sure is against some rental code. Windows in the back house would not close all the way and were opened 2"-3" and would not close. Inside painting was not complete where it looked like a repair to the wall was made and in other areas where it looked like someone painted what they could reach from a ladder then forgot to finish to the baseboard. Large gap under front door letting cool AC escape. AC unit in the front house would work one night and then would run but, not cool the next. The patio pool furniture is in horrible shape. The top of end table has rotted through and to fix that problem a piece of glass was placed on top since the top except for the corners holding the glass was completed rotted away. Cover for the pool filter basket was the wrong style and when stepped on would slide off the drain, going to cause someone to fall. Numerous brick pavers by the pool are broken and unstable to walk on, good possibility of causing someone to fall. Had to constantly remind the little ones to be careful around the pool area.
Would/will not stay there again.

The location is perfect just across from a perfect beach on northern edge away from downtown. The set up is fantastic for a large group with a lot of sleeping configurations. The courtyard is perfect for cmeals, games and too cool off in pool. Only recommendation is some cool lighting in courtyard for nightime to make for better nightime ambience. Overall, great set up and cant find a better location (unless oceanside)

Very good Relax time

Our family had a wonderful stay at this great location on Clearwater Beach. The accommodations were clean and spacious. Just a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants. I would highly recommend this location.

The house was very nice. Enough for everyone to be comfortable.

House was clean, plenty of pots and pans and kitchen utensils needed. Easy check-in and check-out. While house is old, it is very comfortable and user friendly. House great for walking to bars, beaches, restaurants, etc.

House was great, we had a wonderful time. Love the courtyard, fantastic space to hangout and enjoy the entire day. Had a few issues but Alan was on top of and took care of right away!

My family experience at the rental property was great. Enough space for the family. Our host was quick in response. Everything went smoothly. We appreciate the stay.

Location of this rental home was perfect just a quick walk to the beach was all! Property was very clean and organized. Property manager was very friendly and helpful. I definitely would recommend this home, especially for big families like mine is. There are lots of stores and restaurants to choose from and it was an amazing experience!

Manager's Response

This home perfectly fit the needs of our large extended family. Plenty of beds, bedrooms and gathering spaces. The back house was perfect for those who needed a little quiet time. The customer service at the management company was exceptional!

The house was closer to the beach than we anticipated and the use of space was very impressive. It wasn't "high end" but we weren't looking for that. The pool was smaller than we though it was going to be but the kids loved it just fine and the management company heated it so well before we got there that we were able to use it the minute we got there in early January! We appreciated the parking for 7 cars and the grills. We had 8 adults and 11 kids, everyone had their own bed and we had 3 trundles left unused as well as 2 sofa beds unused. We would for sure come back again.

Manager's Response

The house was great for our large group of seven families with Kids. Having two separate house worked great for kids and teens to hang out at one house and adults at the other. The location is fabulous! Quick walk to beach and about 10 min walk to Pier 60 and main areas of Clearwater Beach.

Pool was heated (per our request)which was great! It's on the smaller side but the kids really enjoyed it.

Only complaint would be the bed setup. The trundle beds are squeaky and you can only pull one out in each of the rooms, even though there are two trundles. Not a big deal, but be aware. We pulled one trundle into the kitchen in the back house to accommodate. My husband and I stayed in the back house in the bedroom on the right and the mattress was pretty bad. It sloped in the middle so we kept rolling into each other, so sleeping was difficult. This definitely needs replacing.

We had a coffee maker and toaster oven that were broken, and the manager replaced them within hours. Excellent customer service!

I would stay here again (on a different bed). Overall, a great vacation spot.

We all had a great time, accommodations were good and staff was good to reply to our needs.
We enjoyed it tremendously and would like to come back again in October 2021.

Our rental was the celebration of Michele's 75th birthay! The whole family came from around the country. The pool was the big winner! Also the beach was very nice when it was not raining. We would come back again.

The house was amazing! So much room for our large family and then some!!! This is honestly a great deal for the size and location. The beach is just a few steps away and downtown Clearwater is a 15 minute walk. The pool is a bit small but is still about 5 feet at the deep end so still plenty big for taking a dip. There was bad weather the days before we arrived and the pool was a bit dirty from the wind and rain but we texted them and they offered to send someone right away. We had a minor cleanliness issue as well and they also offered to send their cleaning services the next day but we turned it down as it was minor but the fact that they were so willing to help was amazing! Communication with the listing agent prior to booking fast and booking was super easy! He was willing to work with me since we did book a bit later than we would have liked but they were very accommodating. There is a number you can text or call during your stay if you have any issues. There is more than enough seating outside in the patio and they have everything from a grill to a washer and dryer. Great stay and will definitely be going back!!! Thank you for making our Family vacation a great one!

Our stay was amazing thanks to the help of Alan. We would recommend this to any friend and will look to stay here in the future.

House was nice, clean and well taken care of. Everything was ready to go upon arrival and no major issues. Would definitely stay here again!

We had so much fun. Clearwater Beach is a great destination for families! It was great to have two houses with so many people. The courtyard was a great place to relax. When we got there we had some concerns with cleanliness of the homes especially the sheets and bedrooms. We did wash all the sheets and all was fine. During this process the staff was very helpful and prompt in answering any questions I had! I would recommend this property and company to work with.

Great location

We had a wonderful time for our family reunion at Somerset Beach. Our four children their spouses and 14 grandchildren joined us. We fortunately had great weather to enjoy the beach and pool. There were plenty of beds and table space for everyone. Location was good,just a short walk to the beach. Pool was small but large enough that the younger children loved it. Kitchen layout was not ideal but doable and in some bedrooms it was difficult to pull out the trundle beds. We had a few problems with pool heater and air conditioner but they were fixed promptly. Everyone absolutely loved our time together at this wonderful place.

8 older gentleman went to Clearwater for a little golf trip.This property was perfect .Very clean with a great location.We will be back

The beach house was everything the online description said it would be. Thanks Alan (Property Manager) for being so accommodating and a great help!

We had a lovely time in Clearwater beach renting this home on the north side of the island. This is more of a residential side and it is much quieter than the south side. The pool and courtyard was the hot spot for all the kids we had with us. Although the pool is on the smaller side it was more than enough space for our 5 kids under the age of 10. Beach access was less than 2 blocks away and the addition of sand toys at the home was great! The bedrooms were decently sized and beds were relatively comfortable. Plenty of parking spaces available right on somerset st as well.

Perfect place for family reunion for adults and kids!

We had a 95th birthday party with a mini family reunion at these houses. It was perfect! Everyone could do their own thing and still we were all together. There are 10 bedrooms, but you should know that 2 of them can only be accessed through other bedrooms. We loved our stay there!

Manager's Response

We had 28 in our group and this home was very accommodating. Just steps away from the beach, which was awesome. I would definitely rent this home again and recommend to friends.

Manager's Response

We had a great time at the house - there were numerous bedrooms and bathrooms which was perfect for our large group. The location was great - just a walk across the street to the beach. Lots of chairs in the courtyard pool area which was nice! The AC in the back house stopped working, which wasn't ideal since it was so hot while we were there, but they had someone come out in a very timely manner to work on it. Hot water in the shower of one of the bathrooms in the back house wasn't working. One of two of the trundle beds we weren't able to get out due to the dresses being in the way... buck luckily we didn't need them. Overall, great experience!

Location and access to the beach was great. Overall our stay was fine, with the exception of a minor issue which was resolved within a few hours. The smaller of the two homes needs some renovation work, but both homes served our needs during our stay

Manager's Response

Very hard to find spots that sleep this many. This is a great getaway location for large group. Clean, convenient and comfortable. We had 26 people (12 were kids) and fit without issue. Awesome beach access. Small pool in courtyard was thoroughly enjoyed by the kids. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook, eat, drink. Owners/operators were responsive and friendly. Would definitely book again if in the area.

Manager's Response

We had a few minor issues during our stay. Dishwasher didn't work in either house, owner got maintenance on it quickly. We still had to hand wash dishes in main house for half of our stay until dishwasher could be replaced. Suspect cleaning crew didn't notice dishwasher wasn't functioning a put away dirty dishes in cupboard. Takes a long time to get hit water on one side of main house, like 30 mins of running straight hot for it to get warm. Great location, walking distance to main strip, many restaurants and shops. Owner is easily accessible to all of our needs and responds promptly. Furniture configuration is odd, as most bedrooms with multiple bed have trundles but size of room and dresser placement prevent using some of them. Overall, a good experience.

We planned a large family reunion and needed a large flexible property. This property was perfect. There were 2 individual cottages with plenty of bed, bathrooms and 2 full kitchens. The cottages were separated by a patio with a pool. There was plenty of extra tables and chairs. It was only a block off the beach, a very easy walk. There were plenty of walkable restaurants and entertainment for the little people as well as the high school/college crowd. We will definitely use it again!

We loved clearwater and the house it was great for our group!

Manager's Response

Extremely pleasant from the first email to the last door close. Beautiful homes with a fantastic, heated, pool. Its , literally, 2 blocks from beautiful ckearwater beach. The people in charge are very, very, easy to reach and very , very, responsive. 100% reccomend it. Both homes account for 8 bedrooms. 2 of them are set up for family rooms (1 queen and bedding for up to 4 kids.) 5 are queens and 1, in the guest house, is set up with the "up to 4 kids" kinda room.

The Somerset Beach Rental was just perfect for my all girls trip! And the beach is WAY closer than it appears on the pictures on the site! We really enjoyed ourself. I will definitely be back!

Houses worked out perfectly for our family and friends to stay together for our wedding. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Cute dcor. Well-maintained and nice small pool in between the two houses. Very close to beach and dining, shopping.

This place was fantastic for what we were looking for. We rented it because we needed a larger space for my family and a smaller space for me and my friends where I could get ready on the wedding day. We had 27 people stay, seven of which were kids. The kids loved the pool area and being just two blocks from the beach was awesome! Being that we had 27 people, the larger home did feel extremely crowded. The smaller home felt just right for the number of people we had in it. 8 adults in the back home and 13 adults and 7 kids in the other. There were a few things that needed to be updated. But we could also tell that they have updated since some of the photos were taken. More information on the actual layout would be nice.

The house was in a great location and enough space for everyone. I would love to come back again!!

We stayed for a family reunion. Location was great, management representatives were helpful, and the rental property met our needs.

The Somerset rental was perfect for a very large group ~25. Plenty of towels, bedding, cutlery and utensils. Place was clean and cared for. Very well located near the beach. The only thing I recommend is to tighten up the interior door handles as they are loosening up and some doors are difficult to open. Very responsive customer service. I highly recommend this place.

Enjoyed the New Furniture, this has been the Third year, we have stayed here, Everyone loved it and enjoyed CWB.

Had a wonderful vacation and family gathering. Great location, great experience and great rental manager. Every small detail was handle with expert attention.

This place has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. Beach access right across the road. Small private pool was awesome! Loved this place!

Location was great. Short walk to beach. Shops, restaurants and entertainment were close. Overall condition of home was good. Plenty of towels. Need to update the website with accurate layouts of both houses, but the number of rooms and bathrooms was correct. Only suggestion is have dumpster cleaned.

have a wonderful time everyone enjoy the house and location. I will rent it grand children love being together in the same house having dinner together enjoy the beach and swim pool just great fun.

short walk to a fantastic beach location, just on the edge of the touristy area so it was never crowded but a short drive or long stroll to everything you need. house could use some updating. kids loved the pool and the adults loved that it was centrally located- made it very safe.

Great location. The beach was close by and not too crowded. We packed both house for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. The house could use some updating. There were some cracked and loose tile in the kitchen. We did have a few issues that were handled promptly by the management company. They were always responsive and took care of the issues quickly.

Manager's Response

The property was perfect as always and the staff went above and beyond helping us.

My husband and I and four of my adult siblings took a last minute trip in February. The location is perfect with a short walk to the beach and downtown. The private backyard with heated pool was wonderful for grilling and hanging out. There is room for lots of people. We each had our own bedroom and didn't even use the two bedroom house in back. Beds were pretty comfortable. The only drawback was the noise in the morning from the remodeling going on at the motel on the corner. Beautiful beach. Pretty quiet location. I'd stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It is very close to beach, everyone in our group had a great time.

We have 23 people in our family, We always go for a Family Christmas Beach Party, The bedrooms are beautiful, with six bathrooms. We loved the heated pool in December. Walking distance to the beach, to see the sunset. and for the kids to go along. We had two kitchens and three refrigerators to hold all our food and drinks. The front of the house is where we take our Family Pictures, and the background is beautiful with all the palm trees. We love it. And when there is a problem, Maria was always on the spot to help us. Thank You, <3

We celebrated Mom's 90th birthday, and family came from various places across the U.S. This is a great property for a large gathering, and we had plenty of room for everyone. It is close to the beach and good restaurants. Since the rental is 2 houses, we were able to put the young adults in their own house, and their late nights didn't disturb the older crowd! Management was responsive and very accommodating. Everyone had a great time! I would recommend this property.

The property and location are sublime. The accommodations were amble for our group of 18. Maria was the easiest person to work with and the house was just as described.

We had a wonderful time. Our house was very close to the beach but far enough so we had private times with our family

We had the luxury of staying in a great beach home managed by . It was clean and adequately described. We were amazed with the customer service and exceptionally quick response to questions during and after our stay.

We had a very large group and the rental was perfect for that. Check in was easy, everything we needed was in the house, and the company was clear about expectations and rules. There were some things that weren't great about the property, little things were broken or didn't work, but that didn't stop us from having a great time. Seriously incredible location, comfortable rooms, huge kitchens, and a great pool.

Our trip to Clearwater was amazing! The Somerset property we stayed at was very lovely with tons of amenities. The children loved he pool and their is tons of room for our 20 person group. Whenever we called/emailed about maintenance for the property, assistence was there if not within the hour, that day. Everyone we interacted with was very pleasant and helpful. I appreciate the great customer service.

We had 22 people plenty of room. Management was very responsive with the minor issues we had. Great location just a very short walk to the beach. The pool is small but adequate and the patio area was great as II allowed the entire family a place to be together. We would rent again

Everyone said they had fun, We all saw the Boat Parade. We walk on the beach, some fished everyday. Went down to pier 60 for fun. The Beach House was perfect for our 23 people.

The property was just a block from the beautiful Clearwater beach.

The beach house was even better than we expected. It was very spacious, clean, beautiful, and had everything we needed. It was a perfect accommodated for all of our guests. We rented the beach house for my wedding that was actually right off of Somerset street on the beach so the location was perfect, literally only steps from the beach!! The house was a great place to return to after a long day at the beach and exploring the strip and the pool/Jacuzzi was a great added feature to relax after a long day!! We will definitely be returning soon and would recommended this beach house to all our friends and family.

We had the most wonderful time at this house! It accomodated our large family perfectly & even had a few beds to spare!! The house was well equipped with kitchen essentials & plenty of towels! The property manager was a joy to work with and even accommodated an early check in for us. There was plenty of parking for our cars. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. We will be back for our next reunion, I'm sure! Thank you for the wonderful memories.

We celebrated our niece's wedding and combined it with a family reunion. All of the Evans' clan was there and we all had a GREAT time. The wedding reception was at Sheppards, just down the street from our villa, so we all car pooled there. The best part of the stay was we were all together in one place. There was more than enough room for everyone to have their own bedroom in the two buildings. We enjoyed the pool immensely and took several trips to the nearby beach. A grand time was had by all, and I want to extend a hearty "THANK YOU" to Alan A. for making it all happen so easily. I'd also like to express my thanks to the entire staff of BeachhouseFL for making our stay such a memorable and lasting event.
Thank you,
Sam Evans
