This was our second year at the property. It ’s always spotless and the hosts have everything a family would need. We always fly in, so having access to beach chairs, etc. is so nice. You are STEPS from the sand. Pool is a nice bonus. We love IRB and this property will not disappoint!
The perfect place for a small family! Very clean, just steps from the ocean, and has everything that you will need while at the beach. Host was super friendly and accessible! I would absolutely recommend!
A wonderful property that is only 50 feet from a white sand beach. Easy walking to restaurants and shops. It was like staying in someone’s beach house that was impeccably decorated.
The condo was easy to find, very clean and very comfortable. The place had everything we needed and all of us were happy to be steps from the beach and close to several restaurants and shops. The hosts were friendly and made the whole experience simple. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
Enjoyed our stay at Music by the Sea. Location was great, we could look out and watch the dolphins from the balcony. Surrounding area was nice and not overly touristy. Highly recommend!
Music by the Sea provided all of our comforts of home with the view and sounds of the ocean. We had everything we needed including beach chairs and tent! So conveniently located to the beach, it was easy to run back for lunch or a quick break from the sun. Thanks for a great week!
Everything about our stay was perfect - from the location, proximity to the beach, amenities within the cottage. Would be extremely happy to reserve again!
We had an amazing stay at this location! So close to the beach and a pool on site! We found shark teeth and so many shells. We only had to provide a few things once we arrived but was stocked with starter supplies, beach towels, etc. We really enjoyed the puzzles and board games available and the washer and dryer was a great thing to have on site! We had a wonderful, comfortable stay.
We fled the snow Indiana for Indian Rocks after several friends had recommended the area. We were so pleased with our stay! It was the perfect setup for our family, giving us plenty of room to rest, relax, eat, and play. The heated pool was a hit with the kids and the beach access was actually closer than we expected. We hope to return again!

Great Place to Stay!
We loved staying at "Music by the Sea." The condo is fully stocked with all the comforts of home! Right on the beach and has a great pool. In walking distance to restaurants and shops. We would definitely recommend this condo to everyone!
Great experience in the Gulf Bath Tub and quiet setting! We did everything we wanted to and had a great Florida experience in September. The condo was wonderful. We loved the beach access and the pool.
Will stay again next year! Great location and check in process. Walking distance to bars, cbs, restaurants, coffee shop etc and steps from your door to the beach. The hosts were responsive and great as well!

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Musick
We live in Granville, Ohio and we always vacationed in the area with our three boys when they were young. We would rent condos up and down the beach until we were finally able to bite the bullet and purchase one for ourselves in 2012. We believe in keeping our condo updated with lots of extras and keeping our condo deep cleaned on a regular basis.
Why they chose this property
We were looking for a small complex, away from the high rises and crowded beaches but within walking distance to the restaurants, nightlife and other activities. We love walking up the beach for dinner and the beach in this area is really nice!
What makes this property unique
You are steps from the pool and the beach with no busy roads to cross. The two covered parking spots are a big plus, keep your car protected from the sun and rain, unload directly at the front door!
