Indian Rocks Beach is a cute little town with several restaurants, small shops and is very safe to explore. I felt comfortable allowing my teenage daughter and her friend to walk around by themselves. The area appears to be occupied by more of the middle-aged and retired crowd. People were very friendly. The beach was a very short walk from the condo.
The condo itself was a little hard to find because the Holiday Inn was in the same complex. It would be helpful to provide a map of the area with the check-in instructions. When we finally found the condo, there was no key inside the box. I called the owner who answered promptly. The key was actually in the 2nd lock box, which the owner gave me the code for. She said the housekeeper must have put it in the wrong lock box.
The condo is nicely decorated & large. Bedrooms were nice sizes, and it was great for the four of us to each have our own bed. Each bedroom had an adjoining bath. The bathrooms were adequately supplied with towels, wash clothes, beach towels and TP. The beds were very comfortable with squishy pillows. If you need a firm pillow, that may not be to your liking. TVâs in each bedroom and the living room. One of the TVâs was missing a remote so we had to use one remote for two. The deck was great for morning coffee & watching the boats in the marina .
The biggest issue with the condo was the lack of supplies, pots, pans, utensils, glassware. There was one pot and one pan and a lot of covers with no pots and pans to go with them. No pizza pan, one baking sheet. No Tupperware for leftovers. No bags, plastic wrap or tinfoil. Five glasses-no wine glasses, no pizza cutter, one spatula. There were NO oven mitts or hot pads! We had to use a dish towel & a knife to get a pizza out of the oven and cut it with a knife. No salt & pepper. There were two cheap garbage bags provided. The toaster only toasted one side of the bread and you had to flip it. A Keurig was provided with ample K cups of regular and decaf. Someone needs to be checking the condo periodically to make sure it is adequately supplied. You cannot cook many meals here! The living room furniture is wearing out and I wasnât happy to see the rug wasnât vacuumed & included fingernails! The TV cabinet is not cleaned underneath and found a board game piece and lots of dirt & crumbs. Overall it was a pleasant stay, but I recommend supplying the kitchen so people can actually use it!
