Our stay at Bay Royal was lovely. The people that stayed on our floor(4 groups) were all so nice. Everyone keeps there doors open( which faces the water ) to catch the breeze and visit with one another! Love that vibe!The place was clean and very Florida beach feel from the 50âs. One block from Clearwater beach and also on the Inlet gives it an amazing location!Would definitely stay here again! Lots of restaurants in walking distance and super parking!

It was a little more rundown than pictured
Everything was old and outdated. The back deck overlooking the water, the railings were falling off of it. I mean, I guess it was all right for the price. And the beach was right across the street.
The property was in the direct line of the last hurricane so there is damage as expected. However Marta was Milanâs helpful and allowed us to check in early. This is an older but nice, clean, safe and close to beach bungalow. I wish Marta and Mike the best in their attempts to rebuild their property and lives
This apartment is DATED. They defiantly did not put money back into this place I gave it 3 stars cause the front door is warped and doesnât shut all the way and there was no shower head in the bathroom worst shower ever. It served its purpose for just sleeping but lord itâs dated.
This was a nice, clean little apartment that was perfect for my husband and I to get away. It had a back deck with a beautiful view of the harbor and was only a few minutes walk to the beach.
Dated but very clean. The property, however is run down and some spaces unsafe as a result. The property owner was very responded and communicated well.
spend a lot of time at the beach and walking the island; some excursion to the "main land". Great environment all over... fishing trips, dinner cruise... and excellent dining (mainly seafood) in the entire area.
Accommodations were as advertised; we spent most of the time outside though; just enjoyed the coolness inside; some TV; it was too hot to sit outside on the deck though.. pitty. We actually extended our stay.
Great location. Worked out perfectly for our stay.
Itâs an âold Floridaâ property. We didnât stay there for amenities and knew we would be coming and going all times of the day. It worked out fine for us. Could it use a little updating? Yes. But I also think the price was right too. The owners were a pleasure to deal with.
If you have problems walking in the heat, this is not the place for you. Window air conditioning and the place is dated. Decorations are nice. Climbing the steps might prove difficult for some but we were aware of that. This place is plenty spacious for 2-3 people. It was adequate for A 2 night stay. Use the trolley, parking is difficult.
Needs an outside clean up.rusty old bikes dead potted plants, rotting siding, holes in outside cement walls, overgrown sidewalks
Broken doors rodent could easily enter.
My sister and I had to sleep with a chair in front on the front door because the door wouldnât close. Toilet wouldnât flush properly and when I called host they never called me back. The deck was hazardous , had holes and yellow tape around it. đą
This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I can not believe VRBO lets this place stay active. OMG. The upper deck is absolutely UNSAFE. Caution taped off, carpet over the decking and very unlevel. The railings are damn near ripped off the entire place. The owners were RUDE. Gave us attitude and the middle finger. No joke, he actually gave us the middle finger. What a class act. Gave us threats of being kicked out because we had visitors for an hour. The front door is not even serviceable. The bathroom has no faucet on the shower head. Ceilings are falling apart, cracks and half assed repairs. The bushes are overgrown, so plan on getting scratches on your legs and luggage.
This place could use some cosmetic upgrades and some structural upgrades. The decks are falling apart, some of the building is deteriorating in some spots, the entrance door was so warped you could see light through it. Wasnât able to shower there, because shower head only provided a mist of water. (Needs a new shower head).
Donât get me wrong this property is great for the price and location just needs some maintenance done to it.
On a positive note, the bed was comfortable, the place was pretty clean, the host is very friendly and the location is excellent!

Safety issues need attention
First impression was not great as the walkway to get to the staircase is very narrow and shrubs are overgrown. The staircase seems unsafe, doesnât even look like itâs up to building code standards. Our room was upstairs and the walkway was covered in layers of outdoor carpet, apparently to cover up a rotted balcony because at one point, my foot went into a hole while I was carrying my luggage to the room. The deck is falling apart and has several loose boards making it very unsafe for guests to walk on. The outside rail of the upstairs deck is falling over and actually has caution tape on it. I took pictures but donât see a place to upload the images.There is a stack of 2x4âs beside the front sidewalk with nails sticking out of them. The window into a/c in the living room doesnât work well so the living room was warm our entire stay. I realize that making improvements would make the cost go up but honestly, $400+ that we paid for our 2 nights there was way too much! It seemed that we were the only upstairs guests, maybe downstairs give a better rating because they donât walk around to the back side. Very disappointing!
