Clearwater Beach Real Estate - 3 Bedroom Oceanfront Beach Condos for sale
Clearwater Beach Florida - The most common request Jack and I get is people looking for a vacation resort / investment property and their top 2 requests are first that it is oceanfront Clearwater Beach Condos along with wanting 3 bedrooms and 2 baths - sounds like simple requests right? Well it might surprise you that it’s actually a minority of the Clearwater Beach real estate inventory that’s available for sale.
I checked the Tampa Bay MLS today and found that there were only twenty five 3 bedroom 2 bath Clearwater Beach condos for sale right now. Almost 1/2 of the condos for sale in the Mandalay Beach Club condominium complex. Only 2 of the Clearwater beachfront condos allow 7 day rentals (which is very unique). Nine of these Clearwater Beach condos are located on Sand Key and only one of these has a minimum rental period of 2 weeks - the others have minimum rental periods of 3 months and up - reflecting Sand Key’s strong residential focus.

Clearwater Beach Condos - Analysis of 3 Bedroom Condos for Sale Now
The cheapest beachfront condo is offered for $475,000 and is under 1400 square feet. This condo is located in the Sand Key Condominium complex, Sand Key Condo South. Unfortunately this complex was built with the building facing North / South instead of East / West.
So what does that mean to you?
It means that you have gulffront condo views from the balconies, however they are usually limited and somewhat obstructed (many don’t have good water views from inside the condos themselves)- Clearwater condo buyers consistently tell us they favor the West facing views that building with and East / West orientation have to offer.
So why are many condos, especially on Sand Key FL built facing North / South?
My guess is it was about cost! Obviously you can get more condos with this design since these buildings fit on a narrower piece of property and this prime Clearwater Beach real estate definitely commands top dollar.
Now don’t get me wrong - living on basically the #1 beach in the United States (we’re the southern extention of Caladesi) is definitely great at any direction 
- however, for those wanting the best gulf views - the East / West buildings are the most popular (and while we’re at it - the South West Views are the most popular and in the most demand).
The Mandalay Beach Club Condos and the Sandpearl Condos are the newest luxury condos on Clearwater Beach and offer truly amazing views and amenities however if you’ve got your heart set on a 3 bedroom you’re currently looking at Clearwater Beach condos for sale for over $1,000,000.
So what’s a Clearwater beachfront cost per square foot? As with all Clearwater real estate - location, views and amenities matter. Of these 3 bedroom condos for sale the asking price per square foot ranges from a low of $306 per square foot to a high of $950/square foot.
Clearwater Beach real estate stays pricey - even in this buyer’s market. In the last 3 months we’ve had six 3/2 oceanfront condos sell and the dollar per square foot has ranged from $273 per square foot to $650 per square foot.
Are you thinking of buying a Clearwater Beach Condo? Now is a great time to find a great place and a good value.

Clearwater Beach Real Estate | If I Buy a Clearwater Beach Condo Can I Rent it Out Weekly?
June 10th, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Condos for Sale, Island Estates Florida, Sand Key Florida
Clearwater Beach Condos - Great for Vacations…How about for Rentals?
Clearwater Beach Florida - Buyers looking for great Clearwater Beach Real Estate purchases often want to know what their options are to rent them out when they are not using it. What many people don’t realize is the City of Clearwater’s code’s default is a minimum of 30 day rentals which means if no other rules apply Clearwater Beach Condos or other property must be rented for at least 30 days or longer.
Now while 30 days is the default for minimum rental most condominium associations set their own rules (This is why you have to read that big stack of condo docs and know what you’re agreeing to). Everything from allowing 7 day rentals to mandating no rentals allowed the first 2 years of ownership. Yikes!
Today I had client looking to purchase a Clearwater Beach condo as their vacation home. They also wanted to be able to rent it out weekly when it’s not being used. Sounds simple enough, right? The Clearwater Beach area rental facts below may surprise you.
This is another good reason why you want to work with Clearwater Beach experts who know this kind of info about the various Clearwater Beach condos (also things like are pets allowed, how to calculate property taxes, etc. - topics for another day) because….
Which Sand Key, Island Estates & Clearwater Beach condos allow Short Term Rentals?
Get the Facts:
- ALL Island Estates condos must be rented for over 60 days and most require a 90 days minimum or longer;
- On Sand Key there are only 2 condominium complexes that allow you to rent for a minimum of 14 days;
- Sand Key has no condos that allow 7 day rentals;
- Only 4 Sand Key beachfront condos allow 30 day rentals - the rest require that you rent their Sand Key Condos for 90 days or more;
The good news is that their are actually 7 Clearwater beach condos that allow 7 day rentals - quirky how that number matched. 5 of these short term rental condos have amazing inter-coastal waterviews (and you can walk across the street to Clearwater Beach) and there are two gulf-front Clearwater beach condo complexes directly on Clearwater Beach with sugar white sand at your backdoor.
You might wonder why rental periods vary so greatly - many reasons but one of the reasons many have a 180 day minimum rental period is to avoid the extra 12% bed tax (like at hotels) that is charged on all rentals in Pinellas County for rentals of less than 6 months. It’s something to consider when making your plans.
If you are looking to purchase Clearwater Beach Real Estate any time soon - give us a call at (727) 710-8035 and let us know what your rental goals are and we are happy to share with you which Island Estates, Clearwater Beach and Sand Key Condos match your requirements.

Clearwater Beach Real Estate - The Future’s So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades
January 2nd, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Clearwater Florida, Island Estates Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate Market Reports, Real Estate News, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Beach Living, Tierra Verde Florida
Clearwater Beach Florida – Maybe you remember the 80’s hit from the group named Timbuk3 titled “The Futures So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)”. Here is the link if you want to see & hear the video.
That song reminds me of what our local Clearwater Florida real estate market for home and condo resales should look like in 2008 and beyond as local Tampa Florida real estate market conditions continue to improve.
National Association of Realtors reports that in this market, our Tampa Bay economy is adding jobs, mortgage rates remain in our favor, our second home market is healthy, our location near the beach continues to be attractive, and further production cuts in new home construction should lower supply all of which should lead to an increase in home prices and lower inventory in 2008. (Email us to request full report supplied by National Association of REALTORS )
So, if you are in the market to buy a first or second home in the Tampa
Bay area check out what some of our real estate customers are saying, then call us to find the right home for you.
