Clearwater Florida Homes Condos Real Estate

Sandpearl Luxury Condo Hotel on Clearwater Beach Florida 33767

Clearwater Beach Real Estate is excited to have our first ever five star beachfront condo resort - The Sandpearl Resort is located at the corner of Mandalay Avenue and Baymont Street. For the first time in 25 years the Tampa Bay area has an new Resort Hotel on the beach and they've set out to deliver the ultimate resort destination.

The Sandpearl Resort was built where the old Clearwater Beach Hotel stood since 1917. The good news is that the history of the Clearwater Beach Hotel didn't end when it closed down 2 years ago.

The old hotel's bar was salvaged, restored and placed on in the Sandpearl's beachside tavern.

 

Our family was having dinner at one of our favorite Cleawater  beach restaurants, Bobby Heilman's Beachcomber,the other day and afterwards knowing the Sandpearl resort was getting ready to open we took some new shots of the Sandpearl from the front and from the beachside.

It gives you a feel for why this resort will have such appeal. It has world class beaches and amazing sunsets.

 

What a great Gulf view - especially at sunset. This hotel opened for visitors in 2007- just in time for Labor Day.

We've enjoyed seeing the Sandpearl go up since it is located just 2 short blocks from our office on Baymont Street. Sandpearl is located next to the Mandalay Beach Club luxury condo development. Both developed by JMC Developers.

The Sandpearl Resort (made up of the Hotel and Condo-Hotel) and Sandpearl Residences (the 116 Clearwater Beach Condos) are in a great location within walking distance of Pier 60 and their nightly activities, as well as, fishing from the functional pier. It is only about a mile's walk to Caladesi - which many believe will be named Best Beach in the United States next year. It has been recognized as a top beach for several years running now and is only accessible by foot from North Clearwater Beach or by boat.

Here's an overview of the Sandpearl Resort - Hotel and Sandpearl Condo Hotel:

• Address: 500 Mandalay Ave Clearwater Beach, FL 33767
• Rates: $159 to $950 a night
• Room Size: 425 to 1600 sq ft.
• It has 203 hotel rooms and 50 condo-hotel rooms that owners can rent them out 11 months of the year.
• Sandpearl has 700 feet of amazing Clearwater beach front with incredible views.
• 33 nearby boat slips should be ready about this time next year - good news for all Boaters!

Island Estates Condos for Sale on the Water

The City of Clearwater Florida is a unique area. Most people don't realize we have the mainland and Clearwater also includes the Beach | Sand Key | Island Estates area on the water.

Are you looking to buy a Island Estates Florida Condo with amazing water views or an Island Estates Waterfront Home with a boat slip and easy access to the deep Gulf of Mexico prime boating waters where you can enjoy fishing, diving or just cruising? Heres what some of our past clients have to say about how we helped them

Clearwater Beach Condos - Understanding Rental Minimums and Bed Tax 

Clearwater Beach Florida - Buyers often want to purchase Clearwater Beach Real Estate  especially after a great vacation stay. One of the first questions Clearwater condo buyers have is: "What are my options to rent out my Clearwater Beach Condo when I'm not using it?" 

What many people don't realize is the City of Clearwater's code's default is a minimum of 30 day rentals which means if no other rules apply Clearwater Beach Condos or other property must be rented for at least 30 days or longer.

Now while 30 days is the default for minimum rental each condominium associations set their own rules (This is why you have to read that big stack of condo docs and know what you're agreeing to). Everything from allowing 7 day rentals to mandating no rentals being allowed in the first 2 years of ownership. Yikes - the fine print could kill ya - financially speaking!

Recently I had client looking to buy a Clearwater Beach condo as their vacation home. They also wanted to be able to rent it out weekly when it's not being used. Sounds simple enough, right? These Clearwater Beach area rental facts below may surprise you. 

This is another good reason why you want to work with  Clearwater Beach experts who know this kind of info about the various Clearwater Beach condos (also things like are pets allowed, how to calculate property taxes, etc. - topics for another day) because....

Which Sand Key, Island Estates & Clearwater Beach condos allow Short Term Rentals?

Get the Facts:

• ALL Island Estates condos must be rented for over 60 days and most require a 90 days minimum or longer;
• On Sand Key there are only 2 condominium complexes that allow you to rent for a minimum of 14 days;
• Sand Key has no condos that allow 7 day rentals;
• Only 4 Sand Key beachfront condos allow 30 day rentals - the rest require that you rent their Sand Key Condos for 90 days or more;      

The good news is that their are actually 7 Clearwater beach condos that allow 7 day rentals - quirky how that number matched.  5 of these short term rental condos have fabulous inter-coastal waterviews (and you can walk across the street to Clearwater Beach) and there are two gulf-front Clearwater beach condo complexes directly on Clearwater Beach with sugar white sand at your backdoor.

You might wonder why Beach condo rental periods vary so greatly. There are many reasons but one of the reasons is that many of them have a 180 day minimum rental period because then you can avoid the extra 12% bed tax (which is charged to the user just like in a hotels) that is charged on all rentals in Pinellas County that rent for a period of less than 6 months. It's definitely something to consider when making your plans.          

If you are looking to purchase Clearwater Beach Real Estate any time soon - give us a call at (727) 710-8035 and let us know what your rental goals are and we are happy to share with you which Island Estates, Clearwater Beach and  Sand Key Condos match your requirements.  

There are still some homes on North Clearwater Beach that are grandfathered to allow 7 day rentals so they are another option for buyers looking for short term vacation options. We also have a few condo-hotels but this is a whole different model, however if  you'd like more info - places like Sandpearl are getting good reviews.
