Short walk to paradise
We stayed during the week of July 4th. When we arrived, the condo was very welcoming-the place was tidy. It was smaller than imagined, but cozy. The shower leaked every time one of us got in it, but we put towels down and just rolled with it. I think it’s because of the style of door. I saw a lot about noise from Crabby Bills…it was not disturbing at all to us nor my three kids (9, 6, 1). Check in and out process is clear and there’s effective communication regarding entry information and all other. The convenience of beach toys, floats, fishing gear, and chairs was top notch!

Excellent condo and location
Everything was fantastic! Nice, clean condo, plenty of supplies, great location. Outside of property could use a little daily maintenance such as hosing off sidewalks and stairs to help with sand tracking into the condo but other than that it was pretty much perfect. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Seaside getaway
Great Stay in IRB. Location is perfect/ Condo was just as described. Kitchen had sufficient supplies for what we needed.Beach supplies provided - huge plus! Chairs, cooler, umbrella, even fishing poles.Walking distance to everything, we really wouldn't have even needed a rental car. Bathroom is tight, shower seems to leak out on the floor from the door, so we figured out how to position the door so it didn't do that anymore. Busy street/area so there is some noise that carries and is easily heard inside the condo but it wasn't too bad. The location is worth it. We'd stay again.

Needs Updating/Inaccurate sleeping description/ Dirty
We stayed in unit 8 which does not face the beach, it faces Gulf blvd across the street from a restaurant with live music until 11 for those with little kids, it did not bother us but may others. There was still popcorn under one of the couches and all the kitchen ware was dirty food still on pans and siverware. The bathroom had a big tall board screwed to the floor, not sure why and one of the chairs at dining room table had duct tape on all 4 legs. The spare room that stated 2 twin beds was not accurate at all. The mattresses we're single not twin, the top frame looked like it could have held a full mattress, it had a good 6-8 inches of space around it. The trundle had a good 4 inches of space around the frame. Room was very tiny not sure how both beds were to fit in the room and still be able to get out the door. No place to sit your things either. The room needed like a bunk bed to fit better. It was great, being right by the beach, and lots of areas to walk to do things, and eat but overall I would not stay here again.

Awesome stay in ideal location!
I came down to Indian rocks beach for my aunts 50th birthday, I stayed in this condo on my own as a younger female and I felt nothing but safe! Condo was very secure and felt comfortable and clean. The main bedroom is the only one I used but it was very comfortable. This condo supplied everything you need. The beach chairs were a really nice bonus! In a few reviews they mentioned you could hear music from crabby bills (directly across the street which is awesome!) this is true but was not a bother and ended right at 10pm. I think this would only cause an issue if you had young children but was really not that big of a deal. Would book here again and want family members that came over thought it was so nice and a perfect location!

Small Place
The place is a nice small place would only want to stay as a couple or a couple and small kids no more than two. Note the place is at the end of the building and is one of two places with no balcony. Currently, there is no toaster, and the shower has a small leak. Also, the parking place for this condo was at the end close to the street. One other issue for older people is this condo has 17 steps to the door which some may have an issue with. The place is close to the road and Crabby Bill's is right across the street and is loud from about 6 pm to 9 pm or so but was not an issue for us.

Beach vacation success!
The space was in a great location on the beach. Checkin was easy and we got in a bit earlier that expected which was great! Plenty of space for two people and well equipped kitchen, beach items and had all supplies we needed. Would have liked the second bedroom to have more than a daybed trundle. We used it to store our luggage and clothes but wouldn't be very functional for adult guests. Only real challenge was the bathroom was very tight space getting in and out of shower. Would still come back again!!!

Enjoyed our Stay
Very nice and responsive host! Any issues were addressed promptly! The location is great! The beach is wonderful. There are shops and restaurants all around. CVS is right across the street . The unit faces the street and there is no balcony, but it is an easy walk around the small building to get to the very pleasant sitting area facing the gulf. Also being in the front and upstairs adds to your privacy. The beach is then just yards away. The place is charmingly decorated. We enjoyed the paintings. There are games and lots of beach things. We enjoyed our stay very much!!! You can hear the music from Crabby Bills as people have said but it did not bother us at all. And it does end promptly at 9 or 10 at the latest. Often we enjoyed it. We would stay here again!

We love this area of the gulf and this location provided the opportunity for an easy walk to the beach as well as restaurants. The unit itself is large and comfortable and overlooks Gulf Blvd. and Crabby Bill's Restaurant. While the music was loud at times it never lasted late and was actually entertaining. The master bed was comfortable. The unit could use a decent frying pan. We would definitely return.

Awesome updates
My family and I vacation at this condo yearly and we are never disappointed with our stay. I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the new updates to the condo. The new shower and floor tiles in the bathroom rivaled a high-end hotel. The new paint and furnishings in the bedrooms brightened up the condo and created a more relaxing environment. This location gives you the best of all worlds with the beach, restaurants, and shopping practically on the doorstep.

Love this place!
My family and I come to this condo yearly with our 3 little ones and we are always pleased with our stay! I have watched this condo transform over the years as the owner upgrades it regularly. It’s right on the beach (literally in the “backyard”) and not far from some really great restaurants, ice cream and coffee/smoothie shop in walking distance, plus it’s not too far from Clearwater where you can find dolphin rides, jet skiing and so much more! People complain about the bar across the street being noisy but it’s not all night and it is a tourist area. We ourselves have never been awakened or bothered by the music. This is a forever vacation spot for us. Paula is easy to communicate with, she’s very understanding, and prompt in addressing our needs. Would 100% recommend!!

Awesome Stay
This condo was in the perfect location. We didn't have to travel far to enjoy many of the activities offered in the area. We were only steps away from the beach, which was extremely clean, spacious, and uncongested. There were also many great restaurants within walking distance. Crabby Bills was our favorite with the upbeat atmosphere, live music, and garlic shrimp. We traveled about 40 minutes to Fort Desoto Park to check out the fishing piers and we were not disappointed. We hooked enough fish for a perfect fish fry that evening. The condo is tucked away in the small sleepy town of Indian Rock, but we only had to drive 15 minutes to Clearwater Beach for the more touristy activities and party scene. Regardless of how we spent our days, returning to the comfortable and well maintained condo was always relaxing and refreshing. Pros: *Clean and modern condo *Updated Kitchen *New electronics (The kids loved the large Smart TV) *Enough space to accommodate me, my wife, mother-in-law, and our 3 kids *Plenty of beach gear (towels, chairs, etc.) *Laundry on premises (a must when you mix children and sand) Cons: *None (except for my job's unwillingness to extend my vacation time)

Okay
Stayed here with my husband and our two children (10 and 15). First the pros: The unit was a comfortable size. Check-in was a breeze, they sent me an email well before check-in with all the information that I needed. The unit was clean and had all the things that we’d need from toilet paper , to beach chairs and toys and towels. There were games and dvds available for use as well . The location is within walking distance of many restaurants. The cons: this unit is located on a very busy road that is very noisy all times of the day and night. As many others have mentioned you really need either a box fan or noise machine to drown out the noise. Also there are no curtains on the windows and it is very bright in both bedrooms during the night so makes it hard to rest . Our stay was okay, but I wouldn’t book this particular unit again.

Gulf shore retreat
Have stayed here numerous times and always leave refreshed and enthusiastic about coming back. The apartment does not directly face the Gulf but is yards from it and we enjoyed the seclusion. Everything was clean and worked perfectly. This is a conscientious owner who always responded to our needs.

Okay stay
I think this place was fine for the price. The place wasn’t quite as crisp and nice as the pictures show. A noise machine is recommended to cover up the music from across the street (which wasn’t horribly loud or horribly late - just annoying). The location is nice in that it is walkable to a CVS which had good grocery supplies and there are several restaurants right there.

Disappointing to say the least
I will start off by saying that Paula was immediate to respond to all of the emails I sent her. Our stay started off great with Paula allowing us access to the place before the agreed upon check in time. This was great because we had arrived very early and were exhausted! Upon arrival, the floors were very dirty and had loose change scattered around. After showering, our feet were immediately black from walking on the tile floors. The shower had mold and the floor in the shower was very slimy. I contacted Paula and she immediately responded saying she would send her cleaner back the next morning. The cleaner arrived the next morning, but only had supplies to clean the shower. My sister found a roach in her bedroom that I thought was dead. Unfortunately, when I went to pick it up, it began scurrying around the room with me desperately trying to kill it. I messaged Paula and she scheduled for the pest guys to come the next day. We are from Iowa so we are not used to cockroaches unless you live in very dirty conditions. After the pest guys came, we continued to find 3 more bugs (2 of them roaches) in the kitchen. I reached out to Paula and she apologized immensely. We could not figure out how to get the TV to work. It had 4 remotes and my 17 year old niece could not even make sense of it. Paula noted there was an outage due to weather, but the next day it still wasn't working. She sent the cleaner back out who determined the cable box was bad. We went to WalMart and purchased a Roku which Paula asked if we would be willing to leave for future guests. Overall, Paula was a very responsive host, but for the money, we were vastly disappointed. This was my first vacation in 10 years and my sister and nieces first time to the ocean.
