Great Stay at Great Place!

Loved the location, close proximity to beach and (driving) accessible to BayCare ballpark which was our primary reason for the stay in the Clearwater area. Will definitely consider booking with y’all again! MAJOR PROPS to the owner and his staff for accommodating us when our original renter CANCELLED WITHOUT WARNING less than TWO WEEKS prior to our arrival in the area THX again!

Honeymoon

Our stay was amazing! Great location, very clean and perfect for two people. We sat out on the patio almost every night due to the perfect breeze and to watch the sunset if we didn’t want to due so on the beach. The only thing I would recommend is a full length mirror, just because there are two small mirrors in the bathroom and bedroom.

This place was perfect for me, my wife, and 6 yr old. It is so close to the beach! You can squeak a peek at the beach from the unit…but in just a few minutes you can walk to the beach access. You don’t have to cross any roads. Indian Rocks Beach is beautiful, quiet (at least at the beginning of March), and so clean. There was no crowding and my boy was able to make friends with other kids each day. Don’t miss out on the sunsets either!The cottage is close enough that one of us would walk back and grab lunch to have at the beach. Five minute round trip. The cottage is clean, the tv and streaming services work great, the beds were nice, the kitchen was well stocked. There are grocery stores 5-7 minutes away by car. The air conditioning units worked well to keep us comfortable. The daytime highs were in the 80’s for March 5-9. Yes, I would recommend this rental. If you want beautiful, quiet beaches, proximity to lots of restaurants, and to not be in a hotel. This place is top notch. My family loved our vacation. We will visit IRB again!
Sunset looking north along Indian Rocks Beach. Minutes away from the cottage.
From the waterside deck at Caddy’s restaurant. One of many great places to eat.

New Year's Getaway

We have friends who live in IRB and wanted to spend the week of New Year with them. This place was perfect for the two of us. It is centrally located and has easy access. Mike was very good with communication leading up to our arrival. Everything was as described. We needed nothing from him during our stay, so we didn't communicate with him that week, and he didn't bother us either. In and out process is easy. Be an adult, follow the simple requests and all is good.

What makes this property unique

The beaches are clean, with beautiful white sand, and the most breathtaking sunsets! Indian Rocks Beach feels like a warm and friendly local beach, as opposed to a tourist-centric beach like some others in the region.
