Crystal Beach was developed in 1912, making it one of Florida's
oldest vacation villages. Before that, it was a community of
fishermen, and some of the original "cracker houses" remain,
beautifully restored and lending historic charm. Most of the streets
are paved with white shell, and the village is bounded by water on
three sides; the Gulf of Mexico, Sutherland Bayou, and Avery Bayou.
Crystal Beach is located midway between Tarpon Springs and
Clearwater. A perfect base for your vacation pleasures!

The cottage is four miles from Caladesi Island State Park, which won the distinction as America's
top beach for 2008 by coastal expert Stephen P. Leatherman, otherwise known as Dr. Beach. Leatherman
called the 3-mile-long island off the coast of Dunedin his "favorite getaway beach" during an
announcement live on MSNBC from the local beach this morning. He called the sand "white as it can
be'' and lauded the crystal clear water.
Caladesi has been in the top six of Leatherman's America's Best Beaches List since 1997 and was No.
2 for the last two years. Pinellas' Fort De Soto Park's North Beach won top honors in 2005. The park
also was named as the best U.S. beach by the travel Web site 'TripAdvisor' this year.
The cottage is only two blocks from the Pinellas Trail (biking, roller blading, walking), boating
and kayaking tours nearby, great windsurfing at Fred Howard Park. Crystal Beach offers a community
pier (fishing allowed), county park and has its own Chapel on the Water - Great for Sunset Weddings!
