The house was so clean & fresh! All of the furnishings were pleasing & accommodating. The beds were just the right firmness for us. The pool & hot tub were nice extras that we enjoyed. The access to the beach was perfect, We did not use the golf cart as much as we expected, but the cart was first class. You could ride to 17th Ave. & park at Guppy’s on the Beach, a great restaurant!

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 property, hosts very responsive. The property is nice and close to most places by the golf cart that is provided. The Neighborhood is really quiet. The pool is awesome. Salt water and heated so during the hot summer it was refreshing but not super cold. We would definitely book this again. The only thing I would say is check the Spa and make sure it is off when not in use. I didn’t check when we booked in since we got there around 8 pm. There is a notice to turn it off when not in use written in the welcome book but we didn’t see that until the next day and when I did check, It was on so I had to turn it off but it looks like it was on before we arrived. It’s a propane heating system so the tank can run out if left on.

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.

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.

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!

We are a blended family that adore the properties we have created for our family and are now sharing with others. We are excited to share our greatest gift – safe havens, an escape from the world, and places to make a million memories.

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.
