Great accomodations in a great location with great owners!

Wonder property with everything needed to enjoy a vacation. Location is ideal for those who prefer the less-touristy experience. Short walk to beach, shops, food. Can't say enough good things about this place. Hope to have the opportunity to stay here again in the future.

Wonderful and relaxing stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was updated and had everything we needed. It felt like home! The location was also great as it was a 3 block walk to the beach and a quick easy drive to Clearwater Beach. The experience was a good one and I would recommend this property to anyone.

Thank you, Janelle and Bob, for a wonderful stay this Christmas and NYE. We love your place. Everything is so clean and homey. The location to the beach and our favorite Kooky Coconut cannot be beat. We love grilling on the back patio, enjoying a campfire, and utilizing the beach gear. You really have thought of everything one would need while on vacation. This was our second stay, and we can’t wait to return again next year. It was so nice chatting with you a few times during our stay. You made us feel so welcomed. Thank you again!

Beach getaway

This duplex was perfect for me and my family, it had everything that you needed. There was stores, shops, and restaurants in walking distance. The beach was across the road and was a five minute walk. You had everything that you needed at the place from beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and a wagon to carry everything to the beach.

Great Stay!

This unit was in the perfect location, just a short walk to the beach, as well as plenty of restaurants near by . The entire place was stocked with everything we needed, the hosts have thought of everything! Between the everyday items, beach cart, chairs, umbrellas, bikes, we had all we needed. We will definitely will be back. IRB was the perfect location for a beach family get away, and this place was amazing. Our hosts Janelle and Bob went out of their way to make our trip amazing. To start, they worked with us when we had to re-schedule our trip at the last min, due to a broken arm. Both were very responsive to every question we asked, and we couldn't be happier with the service they provided. We had 2 minor issues during our stay which were resolved in an hour or less, and they even swung by on one occasion to personally assist. We would highly recommend this destination and rental to others traveling with families, or just for a couple getaway. Perfect location for the beach and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Janelle and Bob, Thanks again for an amazing stay

We couldn’t have asked for a better property for our family vacation! The condo was clean, the beds were comfortable, the water pressure was good, the neighborhood was nice, and we felt completely welcomed (there was a personalized note, basket of snacks, bottles of water, a rose made out of the toilet paper in the bathroom, and more when we arrived!). The beach was clean, not crowded, and was a quick walk (2 blocks or so) from the condo. It was super easy to go back and forth if we forgot anything or were avoiding rain. There were tons of beach supplies in the basement (lots of chairs, 2 umbrellas, a small pop up tent, 2 boogie boards, a skim board, buckets and shovels for playing in the sand, volleyball, football, kite, a small cooler, a large cooler, and more!). There were also 2 bikes which we did not use. The deck and patio are lovely and the backyard is really nice although we did not use the grill or fire pit. There are plenty of restaurants, a Publix, a Walmart, and several stores within a couple of miles from the condo, several places being less than a mile awa so you can easily walk (there are sidewalks everywhere). I really have no suggestions for improvement. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at Mack’s and hope we can stay again in the future.

We had a blast! The location was perfect! A block or two from everything we needed. We loved walking to get coffee and ice cream and dinner. Our four teens had a blast! The duplex had plenty of room for us all and lots of indoor and outdoor living space for us to each “do our thing.” Communication with the owners was wonderful and easy. We’d absolutely come back and definitely recommend it for our friends and family.
