This was our second year at the property. It’s always spotless and the hosts have everything a family would need. We always fly in, so having access to beach chairs, etc. is so nice. You are STEPS from the sand. Pool is a nice bonus. We love IRB and this property will not disappoint!

Music by the Sea provided all of our comforts of home with the view and sounds of the ocean. We had everything we needed including beach chairs and tent! So conveniently located to the beach, it was easy to run back for lunch or a quick break from the sun. Thanks for a great week!

Location, Location, Location!

We had an amazing stay at this location! So close to the beach and a pool on site! We found shark teeth and so many shells. We only had to provide a few things once we arrived but was stocked with starter supplies, beach towels, etc. We really enjoyed the puzzles and board games available and the washer and dryer was a great thing to have on site! We had a wonderful, comfortable stay.

Family Winter Escape

We fled the snow Indiana for Indian Rocks after several friends had recommended the area. We were so pleased with our stay! It was the perfect setup for our family, giving us plenty of room to rest, relax, eat, and play. The heated pool was a hit with the kids and the beach access was actually closer than we expected. We hope to return again!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Musick

Host profile image
We live in Granville, Ohio and we always vacationed in the area with our three boys when they were young. We would rent condos up and down the beach until we were finally able to bite the bullet and purchase one for ourselves in 2012. We believe in keeping our condo updated with lots of extras and keeping our condo deep cleaned on a regular basis.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a small complex, away from the high rises and crowded beaches but within walking distance to the restaurants, nightlife and other activities. We love walking up the beach for dinner and the beach in this area is really nice!

What makes this property unique

You are steps from the pool and the beach with no busy roads to cross. The two covered parking spots are a big plus, keep your car protected from the sun and rain, unload directly at the front door!
