Perfect location - house impeccable!

Even before our arrival Scott was great at answering questions and giving helpful advice for our stay. The house was more than equipped with everything we needed and more, including the water toys, Kayakes for a leisurely trip out on the water. The house was just perfect and we all had the best week following our crazy week in Disney. It was also lovely to meet you and Michele. Thanks for opening up your beautiful house for our holiday stay. Thanks

50th birthday get away

We had a wonderful long weekend! The house is close to everything. (Easy walking distance to the beach). We swam in the pool, fished off the dock, took the paddle boards out for spin, enjoyed the sunset, and hit up the local restaurants. House was neat and clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend!

Great House for Family Visit

We loved the house & location.This house is fully stocked with any possible thing you would want/need, even cards & games! It's just a shame the city has issues with vacation renters (they have signs). Not all of us are loud & disrespectful. We still waved & smiled. The only reason I put 4 stars on cleanliness, was the area rug in the bottom floor bedroom really needs cleaning. Otherwise a perfect place to have a family gather & our family loved it, too. Thank You for loaning us Your beautiful home!

Great stay in IRB!

Annual girls' trip to escape the cold NE winter! Group of 6 of us ages 35-50 spent 4 days at this property. Plenty of space and bathrooms for all of us, well-stocked, and super clean! Walking distance to the beach and several restaurants. IRB is super casual and low-key if you're looking to get away from more built up, resorty areas in FL. This property is great for many different types of groups. Book without hesitation!

Stayed here with friends and we were all incredibly happy with the property. Tons of stuff provided for the beach and house. Extremely clean and great location. The owner Scott was great when it came to any questions I had with the property and reached out to make sure everything was good when we got there.

We love the house which was completely decorated for Christmas including 3 Christmas stockings for our grandchildren and wine for adults. We stayed in many Vrbo and never had a house so well stocked with everything. Wonderful and thoughtful hosts. Location was perfect Less than 10 minutes walk for the beach, cafe, restaurants.

Thanksgiving trip!

We were so grateful to be able to rent this house over the Thanksgiving holiday- it had everything we needed including baby items (pack and play, etc). We enjoyed the pool and it was warm enough to enjoy even though it wasn't heated. Scott was so easy to communicate with and the location was perfect for easy beach access.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time at this house in a prime location in Indian Rocks Beach. We walked to the restaurants and the beach! But I must say we spent most of the time enjoying the pool. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything you would ever need! We took a short walk to see the turtle park too! It was a wonderful vacation!

Family vaca 2024

We have been taking a family vacation (9 of us) for the last 4 years. We like to rent a home as it is more relaxed feeling and roomier than a cold hotel room. Your home was everything we needed. We knew this because we stayed there last year also! For all 9 of us to unanimously pick the same house tells you something!

Great Family get away

Beautiful home located a short 10 minute walk to the beach. The home was clean and well stocked with everything you will need to enjoy a beach vacation. It even has Kayaks that we were able to use. We had a few issues and our host Scott was very responsive. He went above and beyond to assure our trip went well. The only negatives, lower level a little difficult to keep cool, but we managed, the pool could have used a shock and the early checkout and late checkin times. Overall great vacation rental.

We felt the description and exceptional rating do not fit the property. The views are not amazing as described. We had a view of a large boat and a drawbridge. The drawbridge noise was annoying at times. We enjoyed the pool and its a good location other than the drawbridge and overall view.

Beach Vacay with Baby

House is nice with big functional kitchen and kitchen table. We couldn’t let the baby out on the deck though because the railings are a bit wide apart so I wouldn’t recommend it for young kids. Everything else was super functional nice big fridge raider, brand, new washer, and dryer plenty of chairs and beach towels for the beach, which was super close, and really nice. Great restaurants within walking distance.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Howell

Host profile image
Hello and thank you for choosing our home to be your home for your vacation. We are from Michigan and England so it is understandable why we fell in love with Indian Rocks Beach. This warm climate, beautiful beach, and waterfront home is paradise that we want everyone to experience and love as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in an extremely safe street and the smaller beach town gives a more intimate village like feel, more so than many other larger beach vacation spots, while still hosting a great choice of restaurants and bars. Safe enough for older children to walk into town and to the beach by themselves, and close enough to the many restaurants that a car is not required.
