Thank you, Ryan! We're thrilled you and your family enjoyed your beach stay and made great memories by the pool and golf cart. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you all back for another wonderful visit!
This place has everything you need (and maybe more!) for a great stay on the coast. Pet friendly was a big plus! We enjoyed hanging by the pool and grilling. We didn't get to use the golf cart, but hope to fully utilize it for a future stay. The hosts sent helpful messages and were even willing to stop by and help us figure out the pool. It looks exactly like the photos!

We really enjoyed this house. It was our second time traveling to the Indian Rocks Beach area. The house was in a quiet location, but located near all the right places.
We loved our stay at IRB! The house was beautiful and clean; had all the needed amenities of a home and we loved the access to a golf cart and bonus having a fully fenced yard for our fur baby. The beach is just a few blocks from the house and the neighborhood was super quiet and loved the uniqueness of all the homes. Loved how close everything was; our fav was the Grove coffee shop it’s a must try! And if you are seeking a busier lively vibe Clearwater Beach is just a few miles down the Gulf. Hosts were great and provided lots of resources for the area. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Stephanie! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the amenities and peaceful neighborhood. It’s wonderful to hear you loved the nearby coffee shop and the beach access. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
The house was so clean & fresh! All of the furnishings were pleasing & accommodating. The beds were just the right firmness for us. The pool & hot tub were nice extras that we enjoyed. The access to the beach was perfect, We did not use the golf cart as much as we expected, but the cart was first class. You could ride to 17th Ave. & park at Guppy’s on the Beach, a great restaurant!

Thank you, Barbara, for your wonderful feedback! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness, furnishings, and amenities. It sounds like you had a lovely time at the beach and exploring the area. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon!
Amazing place, clean, comfortable, and it came with everything we could think of including floaties for my 1 year old. The golf cart was great, and the beach access is a straight shot about 1/2 mile away.
This beautiful property worked out perfectly for us. So close to many restaurants, neighborhood shops,beach access parking and friendly local bars. I found it hard to leave the backyard with private pool and hot tub. Planning a return trip already.
Perfect beach getaway with a pool to rival the beach
We loved our time staying here! We brought our furry friends along and the house was perfect for them. We were pleased to find plenty of beach chairs in the garage and the golf cart was more than easy to use. We really loved the ease of access to town and beach. Will definitely return for another stay!
We had an excellent vacation! Very easy walk to the beach and close to restaurants. The property was beautiful. The only recommendation I have for future guests is to bring bug spray for after dark hours.
Very well appointed house for our Florida stay. We brought our two dogs with us and the fenced in backyard was perfect! Nice neighborhood, beautiful beaches, parks, and restaurants. Really enjoyed taking the golf cart out and relaxing in the hot tub.
We loved staying at this home. It was perfect. Location is great literally 2 blocks from the beach. The golf cart was so great to have to get to the beach daily. No complaints here just a peaceful beautiful vacation. Highly recommend this home if you are visiting the beautiful Indian Rocks Beach.

We truly appreciate all guests that choose our home. Our goal is to provide a home away from home that is equipped with everything you need so that your priority is making a million memories.
This property, the personal attention to detail and the location is all perfection. We had such a relaxing vacation. Beach, backyard pool, coffee shop or restaurants all a wonderful experience. Golf cart added a bit of fun too.
I stayed for a weekend with a group of friends. The house is in a fantastic location incredibly close to the beach and restaurants and stores. The house itself was great too - it ended up raining for much of our visit but there was lots of room for us to spread out, and we even used the fireplace!
Do read the rules carefully, quiet hours are strict.
Don’t look any further, this house is the perfect retreat! The house was great for our 18 month old son and safe. We really enjoyed the pool, hot tub, golf cart and close proximity to the beach. Indian Rocks is quiet compared to Clearwater Beach, but a short drive away if you want touristy things to do. We will definitely be back!
My wife wanted a place on the beach. I wanted a private pool/hot tub. This location allowed both since they had a golf cart that made beach trips easy, as well as trips to PJ's. The pool was fabulous. The kitchen was well equipped and we made a lot of meals. I hope we can stay here again in the future.
We had a wonderful time.
Communication was great a Itnd the hosts were exceptionally attentive to all our needs
Furnishings were excellent and the beds super comfortable
The hot tub and pool were a gem and really made the stay.
Overall an experience we will always treasure Ok

Why they chose this property
According to Coastal Living Magazine, Indian Rocks Beach is the #2 best and most romantic beach destination in the US! Mouthwatering local cuisine with a very laid-back old beach town feels. You won't find bar fights here in this family friendly town. Everyone here is looking to enjoy every moment of every day.
Boarded by the intercoastal waterway on the eat and the Gulf of Mexico on the west, Indian Rocks Beach offers 3 miles of white sand beaches with 27 beach access points along Gulf Blvd.
One of the best things about staying here is the neighborhood. If you aren't familiar with Indian Rocks beach, be prepared to enjoy the ABSOLUTE COOLEST BEACH COMMUNITY in Florida. IT has a spectacular beach but the attitude and vibe are palpable. With only one large hotel, the beach has retained it's "old beach town" feel. With mostly cottages and very few multistory condos nothing about it fells like a tourist destination. Loaded with local restaurants, this is the uber cool, laid-back beach town. And what to "take it up a notch" for a night it’s a 5-minute trip to Clearwater Beach via car or take our Famous Trolley for a safe drinking night. There are plenty of places to visit, restaurants to experience and bars to enjoy for a lifetime of enjoyment. You won't want to leave and most certainly will want to come back.
What makes this property unique
We include a 6-passenger golf cart for FREE! Having a golf cart is a GAME CHANGER! It’s a wonderful for going back and forth to the beach for the below reasons: 1. There is a dedicated FREE golf cart parking at almost all of the 27 beach entrances in IRB. The parking for cars at all but on of the beach entrances in Indian Rocks Beach is for residents only. The one parking lot that is for the public is very hard to get a spot there after 10:30 or 11:00 am and you could never leave and come back in one day and get a spot. With the golf cart you can go back and forth all day long even at sunset. 2. It is awesome for loading your gear easily and hauling the family back and forth to the beach. 3. The 3rd row folds down to a cargo bed. It goes about 20 miles an hour, is street legal, and perfect for going to restaurants and bars as well.
