The condo was comfortable, clean, and well equipped for an extended stay. Our host Kathy, absolutely thought of everything and was incredibly responsive throughout our visit. One of the biggest highlights is the location. Being able to walk out and enjoy the beach anytime we wanted was very special, especially for morning walks and evening sunset views. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it for a peaceful, beachside escape.

The condo exceeded our expectations. It's extremely clean and roomy. The beach supplies in the closet, down where you park, are very helpful. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of IRB and with direct beach access. The only drawback is the building's hot tub was closed for repairs. The owner told me that's been a recent issue. I also wish the hot tub area were open after dusk. I was there when it gets dark in between 5 and 6 PM, and it would've been nice to enjoy the hot tub at night.

We have no idea what this guest is talking about. This unit is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between each stay, and we have only ever received compliments about how clean and airy this unit is. The furniture and the air-conditioning in this unit is all less than a few years old, so there is nothing that needs updating. The dishwasher did break during this guest’s stay, which upset the guest, but we had the dishwasher repair person out the very day after they reported it was broken, and it was quickly fixed.

This is our second year staying in this condo and it was just as great as the first. We love the location as the proximity to the beach and local restaurants is great. The unit has everything you might need and is well maintained. Even when the sun wasn't shining and rain was falling, our kids enjoyed swimming in the heated pool and relaxing in the hot tub.

Relaxing family vacation

If you are looking for a stay that is relaxing, beautiful, and conveniently located, this is the perfect property!! I made so many beautiful memories with my daughter, son in law and 2 year old granddaughter. The house came stocked with so many spices for cooking and there were ample pots and pans, and even plate ware for kids. There are beach toys/chairs, which was a huge plus not having to find rentals. The space is large and we loved the set up. The beds are extremely comfortable. Kathy was so kind, easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond for my family. I could not recommend this place more!

Hosted by Kathy Flynn

Host profile image

For us, hosting is all about creating memorable experiences for our guests and sharing the special charm of Indian Rocks Beach. We love opening our home to travelers and helping them discover the local gems — from quiet beaches to cozy restaurants and hidden spots only locals know.

Seeing our guests relax, explore, and fall in love with this beautiful Gulf Coast paradise is what makes hosting truly rewarding.

Why they chose this property

Indian Rocks Beach offers the perfect blend of relaxed, small-town charm and easy access to world-class Gulf Coast attractions. Unlike busier tourist hubs, IRB maintains a peaceful, laid-back vibe that lets you truly unwind and enjoy the sun, sand, and sea.

Beautiful, uncrowded beaches with soft white sand and clear Gulf waters

A friendly, walkable community filled with unique local shops, great dining, and quaint cafes

Ideal location between Clearwater and St. Pete Beach, so you’re never far from big-city amenities or family attractions

Outdoor fun like kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and nature trails right at your doorstep

Local events and festivals that celebrate the beach lifestyle and community spirit

Whether you’re seeking a quiet romantic retreat or a fun family vacation, Indian Rocks Beach offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure — all wrapped up in authentic Gulf Coast charm.

What makes this property unique

Our top-floor condo offers the best of both worlds, peaceful seclusion just steps from the action. While you’re only moments away from the Gulf-front pool and hot tub, the unit is quietly tucked away, giving you a private, relaxing retreat after a day at the beach.

Enjoy peripheral Gulf views from your spacious 20’ balcony, perfect for morning coffee or sunsets, without the foot traffic and poolside noise.

What sets us apart:

Peaceful top-floor location with elevator access

Partial Gulf views without the crowd or noise

Just far enough from the pool and hot tub for privacy, but close enough to enjoy

A spacious, home-like feel with 1,500 sq. ft. to spread out and relax

Steps to the beach, dining, and local favorites. No car needed

It’s the perfect hidden gem for couples, families, or anyone craving quiet comfort by the sea, all in the heart of Indian Rocks Beach.
