Relaxing Clearwater-St Pete Beaches!! Clean, beachy and water sports!
Ready for a “LEAVE OF ABSENSE”? Come enjoy our beautifully appointed townhome in the perfect location – our quiet little beach town, Indian Shores, which is nestled between Clearwater and St Pete Beaches! We have the least amount of public parking of all the beach towns and you’re sure to find a quiet spot at the beach with only your neighbors near by!! Nothing beats our powder soft sand and crystal-clear gulf waters-and the sunsets are absolutely stunning!
This is our second home that we share with our family and loved ones. We’ve made sure it’s equipped with quality furnishings, incredibly comfortable beds, quality linens, blankets, towels, kitchen items, décor and accessories that will make you feel at home. The goal is for our guests to enjoy our home as much as we do!
And we’ve got you covered with all your needs! Just bring your suit case and sunblock! We have beach towels, chairs, beach toys, boogie boards, umbrella(s), kayaks, bikes and more. We have a nice community pool that overlooks the intracoastal where you’ll enjoy the nice breezes and can watch the boats cruise by. And our private pier where you can fish or watch our beautiful sunrises! We also have a private kayak launch -take the kayaks out and possibly encounter the dolphin or manatees!
Walk to several restaurants/bars, boat rentals, bike rentals, or take a short drive (or shuttle) to Clearwater and St. Pete beaches, John's Pass, Indian Rocks Beach, Downtown St Pete, Dunedin and more! There is so much to do it's hard to include everything! If you want a vacation to simply relax and leave the hustle and bustle behind, Indian Shores is it!! We have several local parks for hiking and learning about the area, and even a state park only accessible by boat / ferry! If you're wanting more adventure, we have that too! Boating, Beaching, Shelling, Wave-runners, Deep Sea Fishing Charters, Sunset Pirate Ship tours, Dolphin tours, Sunset Dinner Cruise, Put-Put Golf, Museums, Aquariums in Clearwater and Tampa, Busch Gardens, Zoo Tampa, and more!
Dolphin and Manatee sightings are normal around here-we've never been boating without a sighting! And…if you hit the beach early (between 8-10am) you’ll likely see our resident manatee who cruises up the shore every morning! There are wonderful and delicious local restaurants, great bakeries, and amazing coffee shops and great shopping! We have activities for families (big and small), the adventure seekers, and even sports fans! For the sports fans, you might be able to catch a game for the Tampa Bay Rays, Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Bucs, Tampa Bay Rowdies, and maybe even a Yankees or Toronto Blue Jays game during spring training!
You're a 30 minute drive from Tampa Int'l airport, or a 20 minute drive from St. Pete/Clearwater Int'l airport. 30 minutes from downtown St. Pete where you can explore great restaurants, shopping and noteworthy museums!
We live in Tampa, and know Tampa, St. Pete, Beaches and even Orlando areas very well and we're here to help! We can share our favorite spots and activities with you, make recommendations for restaurants, activities, parks, etc. We want to help make the best memories for your vacation!
We love where we live and want you to experience the best of what we have to offer! And we’re not the typical investor, we truly want you to feel at home-in our home!
Please send us a message if you have any questions at all! And be sure to take your “Leave of Absence” soon!!

Jackie's unit was one of thr best supplied units that I have ever stayed at. It was very clean and having a garage was nice. We even used the provided kayaks a few times on the intercoastel waterway using the kayak launch onsite. Nice pool and we used the provided wagon to go across the road to the beach.Thanks Jackie for a great stay!
Jackie is the most helpful host. Gave attention to the most minute detail. Even loaned my wife her personal blow dryer diffuser. Everything there you would need. Very nice place, clean, close to the beach and central to all the restaurants you would want to visit. We highly recommend the"Leave of Absence!"
We had a wonderful couple of days . Comfortable accommodations and welcoming! We enjoyed the use of bikes and kayaks. Proximity to the lovely beach was great too!
Jackie’s place was great! We had everything we needed. Close walk to the beach. Loved all the beach toys, chairs, umbrella, and wagon! Very convenient.
This property is well maintained with everything you need! The hosts have everything nicely labeled, extras of everything you might need and truly make it feel like a home away from home!
Really impressed with this unit. It was nicely updated, had everything we needed, and the VRBO owner was very responsive when we needed her. Highly recommend. We will be back!
We had a pleasant 3 night stay. The condo was very nice. Lots of supplies for comfort, cooking, and fun outdoor activities. The beach was a short walk, as were a handful of dining options. It was all very convenient and didn't seem like it would get overly crowded. Great option!
Jackie was wonderful. She was so responsive to our questions and very helpful. The condo was clean, decorated well and felt like home. Amenities were great, we had everything we needed. It was close to the beach, a 2 minute walk.
We spent 4th of July week in Indian Shores Beach. Leave of Absence was perfect four stay. Very clean, well furnished and appointed. The addition of beach chairs, toys, bikes, and kayaks were an added bonus. Very comfortable space. Would definitely stay here again.
From the moment we walked in we felt home. Jackie provided everything we could possibly need for our stay. My 4 year old son particularly loved the Lego’s and cars that were there to play with. Even on nights that it was raining we had plenty of board games to play as a family. Jackie was super responsive and kind. We will absolutely be back!
We had a wonderful stay at Jackie’s property! Everything was just as advertised! Location was great and property was fully stocked, even with things we never would have thought of! The weather wasn’t the best, but there were plenty of games and things for us to pass the rain. Jackie provided wonderful communication before and throughout our stay! She was super helpful accommodating to our family. Would completely recommend this property and can’t wait to come back!
I was very impressed with our stay. I have stayed at many home rentals. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. Every item you couldn’t pack they had, beach towels, chairs, wagon, coolers, bikes, even kayaks. The decor was very nice. It was clean and extra cleaning supplies were there. As a clean freak… I was pleased.. I would highly recommend this Vrbo & plan to come back. Any communication was responded to very quickly, and I greatly appreciated all the information from the cupboards being labeled of where items were in the kitchen to the combinations for the door codes. Everything was explained very well.!
The owners thought of everything and communicated quickly!! Everything you see in the pictures and MORE. The dining table was large enough for everyone. The blue chair and the living room were so cozy. There are extra linens. The BEACH was so so close and an EASY walk. The wagon made it even easier. The kids loved the pool. We even took the kayaks out. The ice cream place on the corner was awesome. Also check out Caddy's it is a quick walk and they have live music some days. We will definitely check if Jackie's place is available on our next trip down.
We are locals who live in the area. I grew up in the area and truly want everyone to enjoy what I love so much about Tampa / St. Pete. I'm also a local realtor, so jumping into hosting and sharing what we love so much about this area is a only natural! So many of us who live locally take for granted what we have here. We recently realized that we were doing just that. And now, we're making it a mission to discover something new every now and then. I hope you understand this when you visit! We're lucky to live here and are taking full advantage!
Why they chose this property
We chose Indian Shores because we wanted a small quiet town, but within reach of all the activities! Our beaches are AMAZING, and it's the perfect spot to relax. We decided to name our home "Leave of Absence" because it's exactly how you should feel when you're here!
What makes this property unique
"Leave of Absence" is appointed with things that we use in our own home. From comfortable beds to towels and beach toys, we want you to feel as if this is your 2nd home. We want our guests to be comfortable and enjoy your vacation!
