Perfect spot for a couples get away

Perfect beach getaway with a pool to rival the beach

We loved our time staying here! We brought our furry friends along and the house was perfect for them. We were pleased to find plenty of beach chairs in the garage and the golf cart was more than easy to use. We really loved the ease of access to town and beach. Will definitely return for another stay!

Great Vacation

We had an excellent vacation! Very easy walk to the beach and close to restaurants. The property was beautiful. The only recommendation I have for future guests is to bring bug spray for after dark hours.

A fabulous week away

My wife wanted a place on the beach. I wanted a private pool/hot tub. This location allowed both since they had a golf cart that made beach trips easy, as well as trips to PJ's. The pool was fabulous. The kitchen was well equipped and we made a lot of meals. I hope we can stay here again in the future.

Perfect paradise!

Don’t look any further, this house is the perfect retreat! The house was great for our 18 month old son and safe. We really enjoyed the pool, hot tub, golf cart and close proximity to the beach. Indian Rocks is quiet compared to Clearwater Beach, but a short drive away if you want touristy things to do. We will definitely be back!

Great getaway

It was a great size for the 2 of us. Not sure it would work great for a larger party, due to one bathroom. Pool was nice to have it private. Mosquitoes wasnt fun, but were from FL. Your not going to get away from them anywhere outside in FL.

Perfect for a Family Trip

We had an absolute WONDERFUL experience! The house is beautiful and perfect for a family! The golf cart made a huge difference. We never had to use the vehicle we rented. It is so close to the beach and lots of restaurants. The back yard was a dream. 100% would book with these hosts again.

Wonderful place to stay for us and our dogs.

Loved staying here as it was immaculately clean, looked freshly painted, very well care for and the owners spared no expense providing extra touches to make the trip enjoyable. The backyard pool area was perfect for our 2 St. Bernards and us with the controls for the pool easy to work. Pool was heated and very comfortable. Fenced yard allowed us to enjoy the pool without worrying about the dogs. Having the golf cart available with the house was beyond fun. One of our favorite places that we have ever stayed!

JUST WHAT WE NEEDED

Our first trip to Florida for spring break and it didn't disappoint. The property was just as the pictures described and our family loved it. A good time kinda place that provides a lot of fun and was very relaxing at the same time. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The beach was very close and the owners really did think of everything to help make your stay more enjoyable. An overall great vacation.... just book it, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing trip!

If this property is available, go ahead and book it immediately! The house was absolutely perfect for us & our 2 year old child and small dog. The backyard is completely fenced in & the pool was perfect when we felt like hanging out and relaxing. Short walk to the beach and great neighborhood for morning walks with our kid & dog as well. The house was immaculate and equipped with everything we needed, easy check in process. The bedding in the main bedroom was also super comfortable and it was relaxing to lay in bed and watch tv at night. We had a great trip and would definitely choose this property again! Thank you Alisha & Barry for a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property

According to Coastal Living Magazine, Indian Rocks Beach is the #2 best and most romantic beach destination in the US! Mouthwatering local cuisine with a very laid-back old beach town feels. You won't find bar fights here in this family friendly town. Everyone here is looking to enjoy every moment of every day.

Boarded by the intercoastal waterway on the eat and the Gulf of Mexico on the west, Indian Rocks Beach offers 3 miles of white sand beaches with 27 beach access points along Gulf Blvd.

One of the best things about staying here is the neighborhood. If you aren't familiar with Indian Rocks beach, be prepared to enjoy the ABSOLUTE COOLEST BEACH COMMUNITY in Florida. IT has a spectacular beach but the attitude and vibe are palpable. With only one large hotel, the beach has retained it's "old beach town" feel. With mostly cottages and very few multistory condos nothing about it fells like a tourist destination. Loaded with local restaurants, this is the uber cool, laid-back beach town. And what to "take it up a notch" for a night it’s a 5-minute trip to Clearwater Beach via car or take our Famous Trolley for a safe drinking night. There are plenty of places to visit, restaurants to experience and bars to enjoy for a lifetime of enjoyment. You won't want to leave and most certainly will want to come back.

What makes this property unique

We include a 6-passenger golf cart for FREE! Having a golf cart is a GAME CHANGER! It’s a wonderful for going back and forth to the beach for the below reasons:
1. There is a dedicated FREE golf cart parking at almost all of the 27 beach entrances in IRB. The parking for cars at all but on of the beach entrances in Indian Rocks Beach is for residents only. The one parking lot that is for the public is very hard to get a spot there after 10:30 or 11:00 am and you could never leave and come back in one day and get a spot. With the golf cart you can go back and forth all day long even at sunset.
2. It is awesome for loading your gear easily and hauling the family back and forth to the beach.
3. The 3rd row folds down to a cargo bed. It goes about 20 miles an hour, is street legal, and perfect for going to restaurants and bars as well.
