My Four Hour Vacation at Clearwater Beach: Belle Harbor Vacation Condo Feature

After three years working at Florida Beach Rentals, I decided it was time to check out one of the Clearwater Beach units for myself. That doesn’t mean I haven’t seen our vacation rental units. I have been to almost every one of them and photographed them for over a year before our current, very talented photographer took over. Currently I provide the social media content for our vacation rental company here in Clearwater Beach, Florida. You might have seen our videos and photographs on our Facebook page (FLBRentals). When I say that I wanted to check out a rental I mean that I wanted to get a taste of the vacation rental experience. While touring the units and photographing them is actually a lot of fun, I always wondered what it would be like to stay in them and get a feel for the units we as a company provide.

Our reservations team leader, Jackie, suggested a perfect unit. It was upscale, clean, had a water view, was close to the beach, and was open for me to use. I set out with my social media hardware to capture the experience. While I was looking for the perfect vacation experience, this one didn’t take me too far away. It was right across the street from our office, which I thought was a bit funny. It reminded me of putting a tent in my parent’s back yard and calling it a camping trip. Despite lacking a romantically remote location, I couldn’t argue. It was a very nice condo.

The featured condo for my day of social media broadcasting was in the Belle Harbor condominiums, unit 408. I shot about six videos for the unit, some inside and others showing off the features of the condo and what was nearby. That was not hard to do at Clearwater Beach, Florida. The poolside area at Belle Harbor is waterfront, as is the Jacuzzi and even the fitness center. A walk to the beach was definitely on the list. I was curious how long it would take me to get from the room to the beach. The video pegged at five minutes. That’s not bad. Next I went to get a Starbucks coffee. I’m not going to give away here the secret of how to find Starbucks at Clearwater Beach. There are no signs and you have to know where it is. To discover it for yourself, watch the video below.

While I didn’t sleep at the unit, I was very enjoyable to be there. I caught up on the weather with the big screen TV and took a stroll on the waterfront sidewalk which I didn’t know Belle Harbor had! The unit was a three bedroom that looks perfect for a family and the master bedroom is large.

In truth, I should not really be writing this in the past tense, because, right at this moment, I am typing this blog post in the master bedroom. When I walked in and saw the desk, I knew I had to find a reason to sit there and make use of it. Right now I am looking out the large picture windows at palm fronds waving in the breeze.

If you’re wondering why I haven’t said, “It would sure be nice to stay here,” that just seems too obvious. It’s a very nice unit. While I won’t get to reap the benefits of a full month’s stay here, taking an afternoon outing to enjoy the unit has been a really great time. In fact, my seat here, with the relaxing view, is genuinely soothing to the soul. So, I will write my last lines here and then fold down the screen of my laptop. My mini vacation will be over and it will beill beh was mantic mping trip c them and time to head back across the street to the office, which I can see peeking out from between the palm trees.
