About this property

Home away from home but with dolphins and manatees in your back yard.

The property is the downstairs of our home with separate back entrance, separate central ac and mini split ac. Lovely location on the intracoastal waterway with dock, salt water pool, hot tub, kayak and bike use. You can enjoy watching dolphins, manatees and many sea birds from the pool and dock area. Our beaches have white sugar sand and lovely blue water. and are a short 2 block walk away. There are many great restaurants and bars within walking distance.We do live upstairs so you may occasionally hear us but we do not use the pool,or other outdoor amenities when we have guests.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Jones

Host profile image
I enjoy travelling mostly in this great country. I love being outdoors biking, kayaking, golfing, playing tennis, skiing, scuba diving and spear fishing, hiking and just enjoying nature

Why they chose this property

We love living in Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) and have resided here for 35 years. It has a smaller beach community feel with plenty of great restaurants and bars. The beach is never too crowded. From our property you can walk almost anywhere you want to go.

What makes this property unique

We have a great view of the waterway and Indian Rocks Bridge. You can watch the boats from kayaks to yachts, try to identify the many sea birds, look for dolphins and manatees and just relax in the saltwater pool.
