At the Laughing Lizard, you'll be surrounded by views everywhere you go. With fifty-six windows, there's plenty to see from the warm waters and sandy beach to the seagulls and brilliant evening sunsets. The rooms are cozy and beautifully decorated, equipped with cable and pristine private baths. A full breakfast is served at 8:30a each morning; coffee and snacks are available during the day, and wine is available in the afternoon. To visit local restaurants and museums throughout the area, the beach trolley begins in Clearwater and runs all the way to St. Petersburg and back with stops along the way.

This cozy bed and breakfast establishment operates in a house that features what is known as 'salt-box' construction, straight up and simple, a product of the 1800s. Behind the fence here, you'll find an attractive home featuring family-style accommodations and a private cottage. Located in the suburb of Brandon, the house is just minutes from scenic river canoeing, an unusual sports option in these parts. The home and cottage feature charming period antiques, from the reclaimed barn wood tables, to the hand carved beds and hand stitched quilts. A complimentary breakfast is offered and the sweet Amish buns are a true delight!
