Wonderful

This was our second time staying in the same unit; Sabrina and Bill are always so attentive and responsive. Unit was clean, spacious and well appointed. Everything we needed for the beach was conveniently located in a separate shed/area (new) and there were plenty of items available. Beach is less than a 2 minute walk and we love that the town added the cross walk signals since our last visit. Close to bars/restaurants/cafes, no issues with noise from the bar or the street. Overall it was a wonderful stay as usual and we hope to return next year once our vacation weeks are confirmed.

Quaint little gem

Such a cute little spot right in the middle of everything you want to do. Just a quick walk to the beach and the wagon, toys, chairs, etc. were perfect! Bed was very comfy and the pull out couch was a good space for our two boys.

This cottage picks up the Indian Rocks Beach vibe in the decor, is very close to the beach and still feels very private. Sabrina responded immediately to my texts. Perfect for a solo traveler but could certainly house more.

Amazing Property

Our family absolutely loved Plum Paradise. We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children, and there was plenty of space for us and our belongings. The kids loved the sofa bed and the main bedroom/bed was very comfortable. Sabrina and Bill thought of everything when furnishing the unit. We had everything we needed and more. The unit was clean and well kept, towels and linens were clean, and broom/vacuum in the storage closet came in handy throughout the trip. Sabrina checked in regularly with us, never felt bothered, and any issues that we had were resolved immediately (small issue with ants when we arrived late in the evening which was resolved by the morning). Property was and felt very secure, no worries about walking around the neighbourhood in the evening, or using the laundry facilities at night. Area was quiet and very close to the beach, less than a 2 min walk. Everything we needed for the beach was made available to us. Restaurants and grocers just around the corner, plenty of dining options. Will definitely try to book another stay here once we confirm our next vacation weeks.
