The home was newly renovated and very nice inside. I would have liked them to list what amenities they provide, so people can prepare and bring more supplies, like more paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates. They also need more pots and pans, and a baking pan. The backyard needs some cleaning, but understand that they are still recovering from the hurricanes. I would recommend this place and definitely stay there again. It was close to the beach and restaurants. And Karolina did a great job making it very clean and pristine.
Absolutely perfect stay! Indian rocks beach was so fun. The restaurants near our place were awesome. Can’t say enough about the stay and all it’s amenities. We will be back!!
Beds were comfortable and the space worked well for us. Half mile walk from the beach. The owners left us a beach wagon, chairs, towels and cooler which was nice for our beach trips!
it was nicely furnished and very comfortable beds. Lots of seating inside and out. Not all seats were as comfortable as I'd like in my own home, but we didn't spend much time inside, so it was fine. Location was great and a very safe neighborhood.
Cozy, quiet, well located. Accommodations comfortable, lovely sun-drenched backyard. Adjacent small city park (just an open lot) was a terrific football field for two young grandchildren
This house is in a great neighborhood! Only thing missing is sidewalks, but no issues. The house had plenty of beach supplies. The decor was perfect too! Parking was plentiful for 3 cars. Short walk to the beach and great access to many local restaurants. Do not miss Indian Rocks Beach Park too!

House is clean with everything you need for beach outing. I would definitely book this house again!! Just some minor things the homeowner should update !!
In general all was good. Code would not work when we got there. Waited on hold for 20 minutes sent an email and a property happened to show up who let us in.

We appreciate your feedback as we are always striving to provide the best possible vacation experience for all of our guests. We hope to host you again, in the future, for a much more enjoyable stay.
Me and my family stayed at this location and it was a great stay. We really enjoyed ourself. Everything that was promised was there , even the bikes. My only feedback is keeping the yard maintained. In the land of lizards (lol) having higher grass had me high stepping around to throw out the trash at night. But I would recommend to everyone!

Great location. 15 minute walk to the beach, quite neighborhood. 2 bed/2 bath and the big bonus room great for our 3 girls (early 20's). very clean. Great backyard and firepit. Management very responsive - FAST!. Only thing.. would have loved a dishwasher (we knew did not have one). Another suggestion: provide some large trash bags and laundry soap. Great stay.. Highly reccomend if you want laid back.
My family of 5 enjoyed this house for our week of vacation. It is a 2 BR home in a quiet, safe neighborhood that is a 8-10 minute walk from the beach. The “3rd” room has a twin bed with trundle- it was perfect for my 2 teenagers who could have their own space and own TV. House is nicely equipped with what you need to cook a meal or take the wagon to the beach. The only thing missing was a cooler for the beach but we improvised :-). House was clean and comfortable, would recommend! Thank you from our family, we had a great week and made many memories!

Clean facility, sized right for family
The house layout is family friendly and clean. Offers a lot of extras including fenced backyard with bbq grill and fire pit. It is well off the beaten path of tourists and located in a residential area. Location was a bit longer from beach than expected. With little ones in our party and all we needed to keep them entertained and comfortable at beach, we ended up driving to the beach and restaurants. Also, the property management team communication was not timely and we ended up waiting several extra minutes on the driveway of the rental for the code — they said they needed additional personal information before they would give a code. This was unexpected and disappointing. Only recommend this to families or groups who want to hang out in a house or don’t mind a long walk or driving to beach and restaurants.
