What would be a good "shuttle" or public transportation to get from St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport to the Marriott on Sand Key? Would rather not rent a car.

I will be moving to that area (Dec 11, 2007), working with the VA Medical Center in Bay Pines, Fl. Is Seminole a good town to live in? Anything I should be aware of? Thank you for any input.

I will be in the Clearwater area for New Years Eve. Can anyone suggest where to go or any hotels that are putting on a bit of a party. Don't really want to go to any young dance clubs but still want to party!

Hi Everyone,

Hi,
could anyone tell me what's the best area to stay in Clearwater, would like to be close to the marina/beach/shops/resturants, every thing really also see on most pictures that there is what looks like a wide busy main road that runs parallel to the beach does this cause a problem
Thanks

I will be coming there March 12, 2006 for my honeymoon. I realize it will be busy with SpringBreakers and was wondering if anyone had some advice about what to do there(where to eat, shop, relax, have fun). I want to make the most of my trip and would also like to get away from the crowds a day or two. Thanks.

Can anyone please tell me what is the weahter temps for the month of April at clearwater beach and what time is sunset ??

Thanks for all your input.

We are stopping at the Best Western Sea Wake in Clearwater, Florida for two weeks from the 9th September. I would be grateful for all info available. What hotal is like, what to do, where to eat etc. Anything that may be useful. Many thanks

I just got a job in Clearwater/St. Pete (right off of 275 at Ulmerton Rd)and will be moving to a new apartment in June. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for apartments or good areas to look for apartments in the St. Pete/Clearwater/South Tampa area. I'm 24 and single, with no children, so I'm not worried about good schools or anything, just areas to live where I would find other "young professionals." I have friends who live in the New Tampa/Tampa Palms area and also make the occasional commute to Lakeland, so I would like something that would make those visits not too painful as well, but still have a nice commute to work. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Hello
My husband and I are planning to move to Clearwater in a very near future.
I was wondering what would be a good neighborhood to live with good schools.

Thank you

Does anyone have any feedback on this resort?

Traveling with another copy to the Clearwater area for a weekend getaway (from the kids). Any good nightclubs, eating places ect.. that would be nice to stop by? Thanks for any information!

Hi everybody,

So, Ok, I'm another person who's planning to move to Florida.

I'm most interested in areas North of Clearwater because I don't want to have to drive those bridges across the bay any time I want to head East. I know what the traffic can be like and would prefer to avoid it if at all possible.

Plus, I think being closer to the Gulf would be better weather-wise, more breezes, hopefully cooler temps, and of course, access to the beaches... Or am I totally wrong about the weather thing?

I'm eager to get everyone's opinion on area's they would or would not recommend and why.

This is your chance to spout off, tell it like it is, go for it!

Also, my boyfriend is from Venice, Italy. Does anyone know of any really strong Italian/American communities in the area?

Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Grazie,
Liliana

Hi there,

Other than a rental car, can anyone recommend some options for returning to Clearwater from Ybor City? I'd quite like to spend a Saturday night there and have a few beers, thus ruling out driving. Is there a bus? How much would a taxi cost?

Many thanks for any replies in advance!

- Best regards,
Lee

Just wondering if the beaches are less crowded on weekends ( april 2-3-4 ) since the majority of the Springbreakers are heading back home ?

thanks.

Hello,

I would like to relocate with my 3 small children and husband to clearwater from the midwest. Can you share any good family info you might have? Schools, crime, cost of living etc. I've done all the online research, but don't trust it completely. I'd like to know what real people have to say. I live in a small town in Illinois, few jobs, low pay, high rent, high taxes, terrible schools, bad weather and rude snotty people. I would like insight on the quality of life in Clearwater. Also, my husband and I both work in the IT field. Does anyone have any thoughts on IT job availability in the area?

Thank you,
Tracy

Hi all :)
My hubby and I will be winging our way to Tampa, then on to Clearwater beach in a couple of days. What's the weather like right now? Did that cold front give you bad weather (We had unseasonably warm weather for several days then pow!!! snow!)
Is Busch Gdn's a good spot to visit now? How about Sanibel Beach for shells??
Thanks, Meenie :)

Hi,
We've decided on a mid January mini vacation to Clearwater Beach. We like the beach and ours is darn cold! (Virginia Beach area, Chesapeake Bay and the oceanfront)
We'd like to do some shelling, possibly at Sanibel Island for a day trip?
We have no idea if all the attractions, cruises, snorkeling etc run in January, do they?
How about Pier 60. They say it goes on all year, is it good?
Thanks so much! :)
Meenie

Where in Florida would you consider a weekend-get-a-way for 2? Something that is fun, romantic, things to do and see. The imagination is wide open. Thanks for your input!!!!

A friend and I will be spending New Year's at Clearwater Beach, any suggestions to where we should party the new year in? Not too young of a crowd, late 20's - mid 30's.

Hi,
My husband and I are thinking of taking a little vacation in January to Florida and are looking at Clearwater Beach. We'd be renting a car and going into Tampa - is it far? Any recommendations as to a hotel on the beach? I like to be able to walk right out onto the beach :) Are the beaches there nice? We're a couple of older empty-nesters so while we don't mind kids, we aren't looking for a "Ronald McDonald" kind of place :) But don't want to pay an exhorbitant amount either.
Any good tips on the area would sure be appreciated.
Thanks!

We are looking for some good restaurants in the Clearwater area. Any cuisine is fine, but we prefer local places as opposed to national chains.

Thanks,
Steve

My husband and I are seriously considering relocating to Clearwater from PA in February. He was recently laid off from his job and if we have to start over it may as well be in a warm, sunny place. 3 questions: 1)Are the schools good? 2)What sections are most family oriented? 3)What is the unemployment situation like there? I am an Administrative Asst. and my husband is a printer. Any advice on search for a job from PA?

A friend and I are moving from Springfield, Mo to Tampa/Clearwater in the beginning of August...I wanted to know what are some good apartments for around $600-800 for 2 bed/2 bath, and which is better between the two cities. I want to be near the beach (5-10 min away is okay) I will transfer to the Outback Steakhouse down there, so finding a job is no problem...Help!

Hi,

My husband & I are interested in information on the Clearwater area. We are a family with 3 small children and are thinking of coming to the area next winter. Can you tell us what the area has to offer as far as family attractions? What the weather is like?

Thanks!
Jill
