Arrival and Check out
Upon arrival at your condo, do an inventory of what you will need for the duration of your stay. There will be enough toilet paper, paper towel and soap to get you started. If you only need a few items, you may just want to pick them up at CVS or Walgreen on the island. Most folks need to make a trip to the Publix grocery store located on Island Estates, about 1 1/2 miles from the condo. There are also 2 convenience stores 1 block North from Clearwater Beach Suites. One of them sells fresh pizza and Dunkin Donuts, the other one specializes in Board Head sandwiches.
Check out is by 10 AM. Our cleaning personnel need enough time to get the condo ready for our next guests, so please be considerate. There is no need to thoroughly clean or do laundry, if you can clean any dishes you may have used and take out the trash.
