Renting a room in a house I found on craigslist - $700 pcm. Very nice place. Could have gone cheaper, but paid more for the privacy and quality. If you are going to go, get a place in Safety Harbor, not Clearwater. 
 
Funkle, I have been saving for PSOM and *almost* have enough to attend for a year so I'm very excited.  I had found your earlier review a while back and found it to be very helpful and inspiring and this one is just a great follow-up.  So thanks! 
 
I'm wondering why you recommend getting a place in Safety Harbor instead of Clearwater.  Moving there for a year (or a little longer, with luck) is a big step so whatever you can tell me about Clearwater vs. Safety Harbor would be extremely helpful. 
 
Thanks again!
