Waterfront Escape - Free Golf Cart, SUP, Kayaks

✨Welcome to Bahia Paradise – Your Inclusive Waterfront Escape in Indian Rocks Beach!✨

Indulge in the ultimate luxury retreat at this stunning 4-bedroom, 4-bath waterfront haven, where every detail is designed for relaxation, connection, and effortless coastal living. Whether you're planning a girls' getaway, a multi-generational family vacation, or a sun-soaked reunion with friends, this home is your sanctuary of comfort and style.

🌊 Coastal Bliss, Steps from the Sand

Stroll just 5 minutes (or take a breezy golf cart ride) to the sugar-white sands and gentle waves of Indian Rocks Beach—ranked among Florida’s most pristine shorelines. Spend your days building sandcastles with the kids, hunting for seashells, or simply lounging under an umbrella with a good book.

🏊‍♂️ Your Private Waterfront Oasis Awaits

After a day of beachcombing or exploring local boutiques, slip into your sparkling, heated saltwater pool—perfect for midnight swims under the stars or lazy afternoon floats. The expansive pool deck, complete with plush loungers and a shaded dining area, invites you to unwind with a cocktail while the sunset paints the sky in hues of gold and pink.

🐬 Nature’s Magic at Your Doorstep

Sip your morning coffee on the dock as playful dolphins glide through the tranquil canals—a daily spectacle that never gets old. Cast a fishing line for snook or tarpon, or launch a kayak or standup paddle board (provided for guest use!) to explore the intracoastal waterways.

☕ Thoughtful Luxuries for Effortless Living

Gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, perfect for family feasts or casual bites.
Espresso maker for those slow mornings when all you need is a cappuccino and the sound of lapping waves.
Spacious living areas with cozy seating, smart TVs, and panoramic water views.
Designer furnishings and coastal-chic decor that whispers relaxation.
Golden Tee Home Arcade - play courses from around the world and challenge your friends/family in an effort to become the best shotmaker in the house.

🏡 Designed for Togetherness

With four serene bedrooms (each with its own bathroom!), there’s space for everyone to spread out and recharge. Host a barbecue on the patio, play board games in the airy living room, or simply gather under the stars to share stories and laughter.

"Bahia Paradise isn’t just a place to stay—it’s where memories are made."

Book your escape today and let the rhythm of the Gulf Coast lull you into pure relaxation. 🌴

Great location in Indian Rock. Walking distance to a great beach or just simply enjoy the pool over looking the inshore waterway. Plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 children under 3. Communication with the owner was incredible and so was the hospitality. Our time together as a family could not have been better and having a place for all of us to stay made it that much more special. Everything we needed and more was available for our stay. Thank you Matthew!

Indian Rocks Gem!

This is a lovely, well-adorned property… super clean, great layout inside and outside, quiet neighborhood with daily dolphin visits, and with the extras (new golf cart, games, water boards, etc.) Just as the pictures represent and even better. Also the most organized host and pre-check in info we have ever experienced with VRBO. Do not hesitate to rent this gem of a home.

A little slice of heaven

Bahia Paradise is the most perfect vacation place! It is welcoming , clean, roomy and has all the conveniences of home. The back yard is an amazing dream oasis with a refreshing pool that overlooks the water and the private dock. Perfect to have coffee in the morning and watch the manatee and dolphin. Paddle boards and kayaks for exercise or pleasure create hours of fun. The kids loved it! The golf cart makes it easier to get around to the beach and those after dinner trips for ice cream! It’s the perfect get away, yet feels like home! Matthew is a great host, very nice and very responsive! This is our 5th year staying here and can’t wait until next year! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us Matthew!

We did have some issues with the house during the week.AC did not cool during peak heat of day but Matthew had somebody out to addressSome bugs observed (ants/roaches) in a few of the rooms but expect that due to the construction ongoing on both sides of the property.

Memory Maker!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed Bahia Paradise and everything it offered! Our host, Tom, and his assistant, Matthew, made sure our family vacation was truly wonderful! Grandchildren loved the pool and bunk beds! The golf cart was a terrific perk. Tom provides a guidebook that was very handy. Indian Rocks is a great location with the beach being minutes away. We had dolphins swim by our deck in the evenings and even a manatee one morning! Memories last a lifetime and our family will certainly remember Bahia!

Very relaxing

We had a wonderful stay at Bahia Vista! The atmosphere was very relaxing. We loved having the waterway in our back yard. Our son loved fishing from the dock. The home had everything you needed to enjoy a week (or longer) stay. The owner Matthew was great to deal with. He remedied any situation very quickly and was very kind. We had 3 families (8 total) and had plenty of room. 2 of the bedrooms and bathrooms are small, but of course we didn’t spend much time in those anyway. I would definitely recommend this vacation home!

Perfect Girls Trip!

10 friends were able to get away for a girls weekend to celebrate birthdays and friendship. This house was the perfect place for this. The lay out, the pool, the golf cart. We rented Tom’s boat and had a private chef from his recommendation come to the house. Both incredible experiences and I highly recommend as well. Any questions we had Tom responded within minutes. The house is updated and clean with plenty of space and bathrooms to accommodate all of us. We had an amazing time ! Thank you!

Fantastic home on the water and near the beach with lots of amenities

We spent a couple weeks in the Bahai Paradise with family and it was perfect! it is a rare 4-bedroom home on the waterfront just a couple blocks walk to the beautiful Indian Rocks Beach. The heated pool was great, and there are an abundance of amenities like pool and beach toys, wagons to transport umbrellas, equipment and toys to the beach. There are multiple kayaks, patio chairs, blow-ups, lounges, and umbrellas for fun and to make it pleasurable to just relax around the pool and pier. And the 6-passenger golf cart was extremely useful. The house was clean and had all the utensils and things needed for a long stay. Other than the groceries and a couple minor expendable items, everything was provided.It was remarkable how nice the house was considering it was hit with 2 hurricanes and storm surges (Helene & Milton) just a few months prior to our visit.This stay was 10 out of 10 in every way, and we'll look forward to return again. Thanks, Matthew!

10/10 recommend!

This house is amazing and the hospitality made the trip even better for our bachelorette trip of 11! The house was comfortable with more than enough space for everyone to sleep, hangout and eat meals at the house together. There was a fully stocked kitchen and we loved cooking breakfast on the blackstone by the pool. We even caught some fish with the provided fishing rods and bait. The neighborhood was really nice and quiet and although we were all adults the house and area were very family friendly. We loved the convenience of the golf cart to bring the provided beach gear down the few blocks to the ocean. Any minor hiccups and the owner was more than accommodating and always available to help us- he really went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be including recommendations for boat tours and a very helpful travel guide for the area. We can’t wait to come back!

Great vacation

Property owner was extremely responsive as we were planning the trip, and flexible when we asked to add a day. Great communication of everything that was available, a description of the area, how to use everything around the house, etc. House itself was perfect for our size group, extremely clean, well stocked with towels, sheets, and blankets. Two of the bedrooms are admittedly on the small side, so just be aware there is no room to add an air mattress or something like that. Pool was crystal clear and warm. Golf cart was a huge bonus, you can use that to get pretty much anywhere you need to be in the area other than a big grocery store. Beach is like a 2 minute golf cart ride from the house. Area is excellent, tons of food and drink options. Beach not very crowded at all, even on a holiday weekend. They even have a service to take the garbage cans out for you, and garbage comes twice a week, which is very helpful when you have a large group. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, and the host was great to work with.

Stay here!!!

Absolutely incredible and memorable stay. Tom's communication was spot on - I could reach out with any type of question and he would respond almost immediately. The house was gorgeous and had everything we could possibly need. It was right on the water where we could fish and see dolphins. The golf cart was a huge hit with my 4 year old, as was the amazing pool! We had some windfall of the hurricane hit while we were there and Tom was checking in to make sure we were okay and if we needed anything! He was there the next morning right away to pick up any debrief that had fallen. If you are looking to come to IRB, you need to stay here!

Family Vacation

This was a super place for an active family to stay. The house was very clean, comfortable and very nicely decorated. You could swim in the pool, play on the paddle board or take a ride on the kayack. The golf cart made for an easy trip over to the ocean or a five minute walk. Our very first morning while enjoying a cup of coffee on the dock a mother dolphin brought her baby over near our dock to show him off! Tom was always available to answer any questions. We had a great vacation!!

Why they chose this property

Why Book This Home?

Because memories are made where the ocean meets comfort—and this waterfront retreat is designed for both. Here, you won’t just stay… you’ll slow down. Wake up to dolphins dancing off your private dock, spend sun-soaked days on pristine sands just minutes away, and return to a saltwater pool and hot tub that glows under the stars. With space for togetherness (four bedrooms, each with privacy) and luxuries that feel like a hug (espresso mornings, poolside lounging), this isn’t just a house—it’s your reset button. When not outside, play a round on Golden Tee where up to 4 players can challenge each other around the course. Champions are crowned every week. Book now and let the Gulf Coast work its magic.

What makes this property unique

✨ Unique Benefits – More Than Just a Stay, It’s Your Coastal Story ✨

Imagine waking up to the gentle ripple of water against your private dock, where kayaks sit ready for your morning adventure. Paddle through sun-dappled canals as herons take flight and dolphins play in the distance—your front-row seat to nature’s quiet magic.

Step outside to your heated saltwater pool, where pool floats invite lazy afternoons of cloud-gazing and evenings in the hot tub under the stars. The kids splash while you unwind on a plush lounge chair, icy drink in hand, soaking in the Florida sun.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Two golf carts (one yours to use, one available to rent) mean sandy toes and beach treasures are just a 5-minute ride away. Walk if you prefer—stroll past palm-lined streets to powdery white sands, where the Gulf’s turquoise waves wait.

Back at home, cast a line off your private dock as the sun dips low. Maybe tonight’s dinner is fresh from the water? Inside, the open, airy layout brings everyone together—chefs in the kitchen, laughter in the living room, and sunset views from every window.

Challenge your friends and family to a round of Golden Tee. With up to 4 players, playing a round never was more fun. Low scorers earn a coveted space on the leaderboard.

This isn’t just a house. It’s freedom, connection, and that priceless feeling of being exactly where you belong.

Per Indian Rocks Beach city ordinance 2023-02, overnight occupancy is limited to 10 occupants but we do not discriminate anyone based on familial relations.

Your perfect beach story starts here. 🌊
