This is a beautiful house in a perfect location. Located right on the water with kayaks and paddle boards included, my kids spent most of their time out on the water. Also, my son enjoyed fishing off the dock in the backyard daily. The house is only a block from the beach and a golf cart was included to get around. My family and friends loved every minute of our staycation in this house. The house is a good size with plenty of room to spread out. I can not say enough good things about this house, we will definitely be booking again in the future.

We had a fantastic stay! The property was beautifully maintained, and the layout worked perfectly for our two families. The kids lived in the pool, which was the perfect size, and having golf carts made getting around so easy.A huge highlight was Matthew’s attentiveness. He checked in before and during our stay to ensure everything was perfect. He truly went above and beyond, even making himself available late one evening to ensure our trip stayed on track. To top it off, he connected us with a boat owner for a private charter, which was a spectacular experience. With great amenities and a prime location, this home had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

perfect beach getaway

Our family stayed to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. We had guests from 1 year to 69 years and everyone had a blast. The location is fantastic, house layout was great for 4 kids and 6 adults. Pool and dock were amazing, and Tom was so easy to get ahold of and so accommodating! Will definitely be booking again!

Perfect Family Retreat

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.

Myself and the guests with me had an incredible time. Perfect location and being on the water was awesome (especially being able to watch the sun set!).

The house has not been completely finished since being hit by recent hurricanes. Ongoing construction on the street, construction equipment and trucks caused irritation. If your looking for a relaxing getaway, this is not it.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Dec 2025
Very surprised with this review. Everyone claimed what an awesome time they were having when I came over to grab trash and handle a minor issue. The house was finished in 2024 hence all the great reviews from this past year so unclear why she is stating it’s under construction. Clearly not the case. Chris was upset that my neighbors were working on rebuilding their houses after devastating hurricanes. I have no ability to confirm when projects will start or stop. Noise was only for one day. Even after being invited in for dinner on their 2nd night and being told how much they love the house, I couldn’t win. I wish her the best on her next stay.

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!

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 had a good week in Florida. House is in a very convenient location to the beach, food, etc. The golf cart was a great addition, and the closest beach area has parking for golf carts so that was nice.House has plenty of items for the beach, cooking at home, etc.Matthew is very attentive and a great host. 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.

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!

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!

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.
