A true home away from…
Our stay here was wonderful - an easy walk to the beach, the coffee shops, restaurants. An easy drive to grocers and more “touristy” things. The house is on a quiet street, a couple of blocks from the main road. A lovely kitchen - everything we needed. Three ample bedrooms, two baths upstairs. Met the owners: delightful people. We were very comfortable there. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful Property
My mother in law passed away, and we needed a relaxing place to stay for our family and my husband's siblings. This place was perfect-we loved relaxing on the balconies with our morning coffee! The home was just as listed-with lots of amenities and close to restaurants and beaches! (There was construction going on right behind the house, which did get noisy at times.)

Nice and spacious
Very nice property, but could use a little maintenance, cleaning and kitchen organizing. A house this nice should have a knife sharpener in the kitchen - my biggest pet peeve. And I would have liked to have known that construction was taking place in the back. Contractors in Indian Rocks are aloud to start at 7:00 am - every day, except the morning we have to get up early to depart. I only mention this, because they are sure to notify renters or noise ordinances.

Annual Spring Training Trip
Home is upscale- spacious, comfortable, granite & verandahs are nice. Mattresses are great; sheets nicer than the towels. However, our stay had some small drawbacks- like blown light bulbs, but more significantly, some areas where the cleaning was not up to par, i.e., debris in the corners of the stairs & dead bugs in the windows. The bathroom floor had crusty places– like it had been mopped without first being swept. There’s patio furniture on the guest BR balcony from which you can see the intercoastal (this one didn’t have a working light). Patio furniture on the master balcony would be nice. It’s temporary, but a building was under construction only a few feet away from the master BR balcony, resulting in constant daytime hammering & loud music from workers. This was exacerbated after an incident involving a stepdown onto the unlit balcony resulted in a broken ankle. Avoiding the 2 sets of stairs, I spent the rest of the week in the BR without balcony furniture & listening to the noise. On a positive, the owner, who lived next door, unlocked the door into the garage stairs so that I could use the chair lift that was unexpectedly available. (The reason I know the stairs were dirty was because I scooted up them on my butt after going to the ER with the broken ankle the first evening we arrived.) If the cleaning crew really cleaned rather than just “hitting the high spots” then we’d definitely give it a 5, as it is, a 4 at best.

Great Stay in the heart of Indian Rocks Beach
Your home was outstanding. It has high-end finishes along with everything we could need to make our stay comfy and perfect!
The location is great as well. Only a couple of blocks away from the beach as well some great restaurants and bars. Both Clearwater Beach and Tampa were short easy drives as well!
We will be back! Thanks again!

Long Weekend with Family
The house was beautiful! It was just as nice and upscale as the pictures show. It worked out perfectly for our short Florida getaway. The driveway was long enough to fit 3 cars if you had to, which was perfect when my sister came to visit us. The house was close enough to the main street of Indian Rocks Beach, but far enough to not feel like it was too busy (it was 2 blocks away).
