This was the prefect place for a quiet weekend getaway. The hotel is situated directly on the bay and offers a wonderful view. It is far enough away from the bars and restaurants on the beach to be quiet, but close enough for a 5 minute walk down to the water. With a recently renovated bathroom and very spacious room, this was exactly what we needed for a relaxing holiday weekend. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and great with communication before and during our stay. We're locals, and will certainly stay again!

Just spent an amazing week at Ebb Tide. We could not have felt more at home with our stay. There are breathtaking views, it's quiet and the rooms are wonderful. Sitting out by the bay watching the dolphins and the boats passing took every care away. I will definitely go back and would recommend Ebb Tide to everyone going to Clearwater.

Another great visit to the Ebb Tide Motel on Clearwater Beach. Maria and Graham, the owners, make you feel like part of the family. The rooms are neat, clean, and comfortable. Maria and Graham did all they could to make our stay enjoyable. This motel is in a quiet area quiet and sits two blocks back from North Beach, out of the area of all the hustle and bustle of the beach and shopping, but close enough to walk to all downtown and South Beach areas. We love it and plan to return soon!

Our two-bedroom unit was very large and nicely equipped. Very comfortable beds! This was a wonderful place for my family of four. A very quiet resort with Graham and Maria being very gracious. Only negative is it appeared to need some repair on exterior of building and the patio furniture was a bit rusty and need of replacement. If you are looking for a full service resort, this is not it. I would recommend this property to senior travelers and travelers with young children alike. Very quiet and accessible to everything North Clearwater Beach has to offer.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in a 1 BR unit. The owner Maria was very pleasant and gracious. The pool was refreshing. The view of the harbor was nice. A fishing dock is attached. I sailed my Sunfish sailboat there in the inland waterway. Municipal tennis courts were close - 2 blocks away. The unit was older, but clean and well stocked. Clearwater beach short walk. A very satisfactory choice for us.

I was very impressed with how comfortable, spacious, and clean my room was. The location on the bay is gorgeous and quiet, and yet, it's only a short walk if you want to head to the beaches on the gulf side and/or want to enjoy the Clearwater Beach nightlife. Also a short walk from the hotel is an awesome park that any family would enjoy. When you first pull up, you might wonder at the light blue and tan, fading exterior - but don't be fooled, what this hotel lacks in fancy facade, it makes up in friendly staff, clean rooms, and a beautiful location. I was here for a one night stay for a business trip, but I will be back someday with my family.

This was our 4th visit to the Ebb Tide and we were not disappointed. What we love best about this place is that all apartments have a view of the bay where you can see dolphins, fish from the dock or just relax and watch the boats go by! We also love that it is a smaller more friendly place where you can feel at home and quite secure. The pool is clean and heated. Most of the apartments have been updated and they are clean and the kitchens are well equipped. If there is anything you need the owners and Denise are quick to get it for you. We like the location in the quieter N. Clearwater beach area , a very short walk from the ocean and an easy walk to all the attractions Clearwater beach has to offer. You can have the best of both worlds.
