We had a great stay.
We had three adults and two children. The house was very serviceable and the neighborhood seemed ok. It was near to clearwater beaches and assessable to restaurants and walking. The pool was a bit small and the patios could use a little landscaping but all in all would recommend.

We had a great vacation staying at Doc of the Bay.
This property met all of our expectations. The interior of the house was beautiful, clean and spacious. The outdoor patio was very nice with amazing views of the bay. Pool was perfect for light swimming and providing a cool break from the Florida heat. Kitchen had everything we needed and the bedrooms were comfortable and clean. Great location too! Only a few minutes from public beach access in Indian Rocks and a 15-20 min drive to Clearwater as well. The only slight negatives is that the pergola out back had no coverage from the sun and the outdoor fans were not installed. Minor issue but would have helped provide some slight relief for the sun/heat. Otherwise an amazing stay and highly reccomend.

A very nice stay. Property was as advertised. Location was quiet and very convenient for getting to the beach and local eateries. Clean and comfortable. The property manager were excellent and went above and beyond in providing customer service. We would stay here again in the future.
The house was perfect! It had everything we needed, it was clean and in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The layout of the house and bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our 20 year old sons and their wife and fiance. We had a lot of together time, along with space to get away. Mornings drinking coffee, visiting and watching dolphins was especially memorable. Thank you for a perfect stay! The beach and the sunsets were beautiful too!
Our family decided to take a trip for Christmas instead of giving gifts, we selected this VRBO property for it's layout, pool and water view. The property layout was ideal for our family - 3 bedroom, 3 bath with a nice central gathering area. Thank you.
We had a fabulous stay in March for Spring Break. The house was just like described and had everything we needed including plenty of beach towels and chairs. The beach was just a short ride away and was so beautiful. Tons of local restaurants made dining out fun and delicious. The house also had a great kitchen that made eating in a breeze. Taylor from Seaside Property was great at answering questions and always quick to respond. Overall it was a great week and we would definitely go back!!
We had a enjoyable stay in Indian Rocks! The house was clean and the property Manager, Taylor, was very responsive to minor concerns during our stay. It would be great if there were more or updated cooking utensils. Otherwise, I would recommend this property.
Amazing! We enjoyed the property and the area. The management company was the best we have ever encountered and they went above and beyond to help make our trip memorable. We would highly recomend The Seaside Property Shoppe (property mgmy company)--they know the area, they worked hard to deal with variables, and they were creative with solutions and options. I will strive to use them again based on this eperience. Property was clean and stunning! No negatives to report at all! Worth every penny we spent and more!

Our family had a great vacation in this house. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The decor and furniture is very tasteful and of a high standard. We found the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The outside area, including the pool, was also very well maintained. Sharon the manager was exceptional and professional, and provided excellent customer service. We would have no hesitation in using The Seaside Property Shoppe again and I would highly recommend the property to anybody wishing to stay in that area.

Our family of 6 stayed here for a week and had a great time. PROS: The outdoor space is wonderful and spacious and the shaded patio was quite welcomed. The indoor space is mostly an open concept with the kitchen, dining, and living rooms all amenable to conversations. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nothing fancy but they are quiet and private. CONS: The kitchen. If you like to cook you will find that it is not stocked well at all. Very few pots and pans; not a sharp knife anywhere; few cooking utensils; only 4 wine glasses; limited amount of plates/forks/spoons, etc... However, the fridge is big and cold and the ice maker is fast. There are also 2 sinks, which is handy and the kitchen is large enough for several people to be working. Lastly, we only had 1 toilet roll per bathroom and 1 paper towel. You will probably need to replenish during your stay. Highly recommend Dock of the Bay and we would definitely stay here again.

Not what we were expecting
The house was in a beautiful location and views were great, but the infestation of roaches were disgusting to say the least! Before arriving I was informed that pest control would be coming out during the week to do their bimonthly treatment. Thought it was odd they were coming during my stay as they had to have access to the interior, but agreed to the day. Upon arrival, we noticed the kitchen had roaches in the drawers and fecal droppings on the counter in various areas. I immediately contacted the management. The response I received was disappointing. I felt it was downplayed and brushed off. They informed me the droppings were just from Palmetto bugs. First, those are a type of roach and second these were not just Palmetto bugs but actually looked like german cockroaches! My sister lives in the area and knew exactly what they were! I took pictures and forwarded them to management. Fast forward after pest control and the problem just increased! I reached out again and the response was I’m sorry we’ve never had this issue! Really? Needless to say we were completely disgusted! Ended up eating all meals out and was unable to make any use of kitchen! In addition, if you know anything about roaches, these roaches are known to be “hitchhikers”. We brought our luggage home and left it all outside as a precaution. We did not want to bring any back to our home! Such a huge inconvenience and disappointment!!

Dear Kathy,
Thank you for your feedback. First and foremost, we’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we sincerely regret the concerns you had regarding pests in the home.
This property receives professional pest control treatments on a bi-monthly basis, and in Florida, sightings of palmetto bugs—especially in coastal or wooded areas—are not uncommon despite preventative measures. We remain diligent in addressing these concerns.
You first notified us on May 25th about seeing bugs, and the following day shared photos of what appeared to be droppings. As no photos of the insects themselves were provided at the time, we relayed that the droppings were consistent with palmetto bug activity. We immediately contacted the owner, who ensured that the scheduled pest control visit on Tuesday would proceed as planned.
After confirming with you on Tuesday that the service had been completed, we did not hear back until Friday when we reached out to coordinate your departure time for the Saturday cleaning. At that point, you sent additional photos. Unfortunately, given the timing, a follow-up pest control visit before your checkout was not possible.
We appreciate your kind words about the home’s location and views, and we truly regret the inconvenience this situation caused. While this appears to have been a rare and temporary issue, we understand how unsettling it can be and have taken further steps to prevent recurrence.
Regards,
The Seaside

Needs Some Work
Arrived to dirty living areas and a dirty pool. Management company sent another cleaner in on Sunday which we appreciated. Pool remained dirty until the pool repair company came on Thursday afternoon to replace the filter after stating “ that’s pretty dirty”. We realize this is not the fault of the property management company but still disappointing because we did not feel comfortable swimming in the pool after finding and using pool test strips under the kitchen sink. I did end up paying for a night at a nice hotel so we could enjoy swimming in clean pools for 2 days. The patio table is extremely cheap and missing a chair. It only rained once the week we were there but also rained in the house due to two separate areas in the ceiling that have water damage and have not been repaired. This lead to water streaming down from the ceiling onto the floor (I have video). The house is not well maintained by the owners (weeds and landscape included). The Nest alarm went off one evening upon entry, extremely loud, would not shut off. We were not ever given a solution for this other than to unplug it (didn’t help), wrap it in towels and place it in the garage in a cooler until it died. Pros: the house is well laid out, the master bedroom shower is fantastic, the location is good, the view is beautiful and the beach is pretty. The management company is also responsive in a timely manner. We made the best of it because we were all together.

The house and view were beautiful! We vacationed with our extended family including my elderly father. The reclining furniture was so convenient for him as his mobility is limited. The dock was great for fishing. We lost count of how many fish we caught. So fun! The layout is great for large groups with several areas to gather. The back area was perfect for morning coffee. The pool is perfect also for evening swims. I was a little worried about not being on the Gulf but, honestly, this view was exceptional. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were updated and beautiful. A few small suggestions: there were only bedside lamps in the master suite. It would be nice to have bedside lamps in all 3 rooms. Also some hooks on the back of the bathroom doors and more towel racks would also be great. Other than that, the property was perfect! We would definitely return and surely hope we can!
