It's removed from the crazy roundabout but walking distance to the other half of the beach. Very close to some amazing restaurants and right across the street from the public beach. Sunsets in Clearwater Beach are so beautiful. Belle Harbor is amazing, and my parents are very happy with their choice. Can't wait until our next family getaway!

I lived at Bal Harbour for 4 years in a 1-bedroom and eventually in a 2-bedroom apartment. First…read moreof all, these are condos, all privately-owned, so not your "typical" apartment complex. Rules are implemented so everyone is of quality (at least most of them, with a few exceptions here and there). Mostly, residents are working professionals or white collar folks. It's usually very quiet, close to the beach, 2 airports and lots of conveniences. Staff is available 7 days/week and work orders are taken care of expediently, depending on the emergency level. People who complaint often choose to not abide by the rules or simply owe money and blame it on Management. I know that because as a licensed Realtor and resident, the Management Company hired me occasionally to fill in for a day here and there, when a staff member was ill or on vacation. That's when I got to see the inside of managing desires and wills of all residents: some would go off the handle because I refused to chase a snake they saw on the grass, others were upset because they lost their key in the middle of the night and management could not open their doors until the next morning. Some were complaining that a resident looked at them funny and wanted Management to evict them for that reason. Others would complain they hadn't received the mail or packages they expected and blamed Management for it. My favorite: their pet ruined the condo but insisted it was not their responsibilities to pay for the damages and threatened with potential lawsuits. Very interesting human interactions! In conclusion, I was privy to be a part-time insider and appreciated all the weirdness Management had to deal with on a daily basis and often, despite their best efforts, someone, somewhere, somehow felt short-changed. Considering the pros and cons, this community is well-kept. In general, "pressing" issues are addressed promptly and the complex is rather well-run, in comparison with other places I lived in prior and after Bal Harbour. My experience was positive and overall, it was a pleasant experience. I moved out because my company transferred me to another state. However, Bal Harbour deserves great ratings!

The motel is nestled near several highrise, pricey hotels and away from the busy touristy crowds and noise. My wife and I loved the place instantly. Everything is within walking distance and the parking is free at Echo Sails. The room is more of a 1 bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, fridge and microwave, large screen t.v., cable and free WiFi. Yes it's an older property, but it is well kept and clean. We enjoyed the pool out front as well. Now, what really makes this place special is the manager Rachel Chotalia. This woman made us feel as if we were staying over at a friend's place for the weekend. She is very kind, helpful and a great conversationalist! My wife and I always looked forward to speaking with Rachel after our beach and boating activities. Rachel is an amazing person and because of how wonderful she treated us and how much we like this quaint little place we definitely will only stay at Echo Sails when visiting Clearwater. We found the perfect spot right on Clearwater Beach and made a new friend in Rachel as well!

WARNING! I am a previous resident and here is my experience. When your lease is over there will be…read moremany surprise move out charges. June-July 6th almost $800 that I did not anticipate. My lease was over and I moved on July 6, today is July 29th and I've received a surprise move out charge this morning for $418 along with not receiving my security deposit. Every time you pay rent you WILL be charged an $8 convenience fee for using the online pay option, HOWEVER that's the only way to pay for utilities/rent/trash/sewage, do anticipate an extra $8 charge for every transaction. The complex WILL charge you $5 for every light bulb that's out, they do not cover light bulbs along with multiple cleaning fees, carpet cleaning fees, and a trash bill that's nearly $200 (for my 6 days of living in the complex this July). When I left my apartment everything was clean, not a single stain was on my carpets or floors. However there have been many residents moving out and now that the numbers are lower the complex has become greedy. Overall with money aside, it's is a nice complex located in downtown Clearwater. Be prepared to see and experience many Scientologists around the complex/area. The maintenance was wonderful and the management was good in early 2025, however after the previous AMAZING manager resigned and since April 2025 the management has been lacking. The gym and pool are both awesome and it's typically a very quiet area (Scientology hub). If you're willing to pay a lot of surprise charges, this is the place to be!
