El Dorado by the Sea

Fabulous 4-bedroom vacation home

just steps away from the Gulf

in beautiful Clearwater Beach, Florida

This spacious Mediterranean-style 3,300-square-foot vacation home sleeps 8 to 10 people. It sits in the heart of the residential area of Clearwater Beach.

Walk across the street and down the boardwalk, and there's the beach with its powdery white sand. Forgot your sunscreen? It's just a few steps back to your Mediterranean bungalow.

Listen closely and you can hear the ocean.

The beach is a sensory explosion of warm white sand, blue lapping waves, bright sunlight, and the smell of sea salt. If you prefer a more secluded tropical retreat, lush vegetation surrounds the sparkling water of your own private pool just out your back door. In late summer, you can pick bananas, mangoes, and avocados from trees in the back yard.

The side porch is a delightful place for sipping coffee in the morning.

Sunset on the Gulf Coast, just 50 steps away.
