We are on our way home from a week stay. It was beyond our expectations. From the moment you step out of car the beach and ocean are waiting for you. They have everything you could ever need. Very clean. The ocean is crystal blue. The kids were able to snorkel and found tons of shells and sand dollars. Calm waves and perfect sunsets.

First off you will not find a cleaner place. People who own this property clean it, not a cleaning company. Its not new, in fact its a retro place, meaning it looks like the 60's all the way back to the pink and black bathroom tile. Reminded me of the cabin my grandparents used to have as a little boy at the lake but with a bleach flair. Three room unit, two up and one ground with laundry room by the carport. Excellent location after you find it. Its on the beach and your courtyard end at the sand. Tommys is behind Tai Pan Alley Restaurant, use the alley behind Tai Pan. Dont let the alley thing bother you at all, technical it may not be a alley anyway. They have everything for the beach, gas grills, towels, umbrellas, two kinds of chairs, floaty toys, fishing equipment and lawn games.

In my search for a "pet-friendly" gulf-front beach accommodation, I found "Tommy's on the Beach" on the web and decided to give it a try ... so my husband and I - both septuagenarians - spent Thanksgiving 2009 in the ground floor unit ... along with our darling little sweetheart dog Lucky (also a septuagenarian) ...

The unit was darling .... perfect for us - it was exceptionally clean - great floor plan - very very comfortable - nice big kitchen (totally equipped) and living room looking out over those white sands of Florida - and The Gulf of Mexico. The bathroom was quite large and again exceptionally clean and well-stocked with more than an adequate supply of towels, etc. Our bedroom was also quite large enough to house the two huge double-beds - side-tables - two separate chests of drawers - chair - television - closet - and overhead ceiling fan. There was also a large well-stocked laundry room available for our use. Home away from home .... what more could one want ...

I must disagree with the January 7, 2009 review wherein Lisa from Lancaster, NY stated she disliked the "older furniture and decorations" .... we accepted without complaint the "older furniture" and the "decorations" were what made Tommy's our little bit of nostalgia ... 'nuff said !!

We met Jan, the owner, and found her to be a most gracious and charming hostess who couldn't do enough for us ...

Having lived here in Florida these past 50-plus years, we have spent many hours at our local beaches - in fact our present home is but a short 40-minute drive away from "Tommy's on the Beach" - so there is no doubt in our minds that - health permitting - we shall return !!!

This was the perfect setting for a family gathering.
An easy drive from Tampa Airport.

We rented the enitre condo (all three units) and it was just right for the 20 of us. They thought of everything. We didn't have to bring a thing. They had plenty of bed linens, towels, beach chairs, and games, just to name a few. The units were well maintained and clean. Loved the grassy yard area with enough seating for everyone, two grass grills, a hammack, and shuffle board. Just off the grassy area was the beach, which was also quite private.

Entertainment was just a short hop away. We ate at the french bakery and Thai restaurant which were both at our back doors. Close enough to Clearwater beach and Treasure Island for night life and shopping.

We would definetly go there again.
