Best Clearwater Beach Stays for Families: Stress-Free Beach Vacations Without Breaking the Bank

If you’re planning a family vacation, Clearwater Beach is likely at the top of your list and for good reason. With soft white sand, gentle Gulf waters, and sunshine year-round, it’s a dream beach destination. But for families, the questions quickly pile up:
- Where should we stay that’s close to the beach—but not outrageously expensive?
- Will the hotel feel safe and kid-friendly?
- Is there enough to do so my kids aren’t bored after day one?
At Blue Wave Suites, we’ve hosted countless families who arrive with these same concerns—and leave relaxed, smiling, and eager to come back. Here’s why Blue Wave Suites could be the perfect spot for your next family beach getaway.

Unlike towering beachfront resorts that can feel overwhelming, Blue Wave Suites offers a cozy, boutique atmosphere right in the heart of Clearwater Beach. Families love the smaller scale because:
There’s less crowding and noise.
It’s easy to keep an eye on kids.
Staff remember your name—and often your kids’ names, too!

Hear It from Other Families
Here’s what one family had to say after their stay:
“We traveled with two kids, ages 4 and 7, and Blue Wave Suites was perfect. We were steps from the beach, close to great restaurants, and our suite gave us space to spread out. The kids loved the pool, and we loved not feeling trapped in a tiny hotel room. Can’t wait to come back!” — Sarah T., Ohio
