Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were overall very happy with our time at this rental. Indian Rocks Beach was a perfect location for relaxing and being able to jump in the car and get quickly to popular restaurants, shopping and beaches. The house was spotlessly clean and in a lovely neighborhood. The rental agency was easy to work with when we decided to extend our vacation. We would definitely stay there again.

Comfy and cozy

The property was very inviting and clean. Our family had a wonderful time with plenty of space. The pool was great especially for the kids when we needed a break from the beach. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating! This by far has been the best vacation! We will be booking with Beach Time Rentals again! Thank you!!

Florida house with a pool

We liked the location, close enough to beaches, restaurants, etc. while being in a quiet neighborhood and having a private pool. The house was very nice and the kitchen looked to have just about every gadget and utensil you could need (although it only had salt and pepper). There was a good selection of beach stuff and other outdoor stuff to use as well. More than enough room both inside and out for a larger group than just the 2 of us. For what we wanted, the property was excellent and we would stay again.Since this property is through a rental agency, there are some additional steps/communications as part of the booking process/staying here. Nothing major, but a little more involved than other vrbo places we've stayed.

Great!

We enjoyed our stay at this house! Everything was clean on the inside, if I were to change one thing it would just be that the outside patio is a little bit more well manicured but it’s probably just because it’s winter in Florida. But it was a great house! Great communication with management team!

The premises were a bit outdated. Lots of rust and mold in outdoor furniture.

Sleeper sofas were horrible. Outdoor space was tiny. This house is not close to a beach like advertised. They only gave two garbage bags and two rolls of toilet paper. For $3,000, I would expect more of both. This was not a good value at all. We will not be coming back.

Great location…..but in need of updates and declutter.

Amazing location, property mgmt. was very nice and responsive the day of check in. The bad….. all the beds are sunken in and in dire need of replacement. While there was a lot of things to use, which was AMAZING, the bikes need new chains, only 1 of the 4 semi-worked, the canopy is not useable, umbrellas need to be thrown away. Outdoor furniture is no where near as pictured and living room couch is beyond uncomfortable and makes noises when you sit down.

Hi Mindy, Thanks so much for your feedback and your review. The mattresses are fairly new so we will be looking at them again and changing if needed. We fixed the bikes back in May. We have updated the inventory as well. We just brought new aredondick chairs too. We hope to have the opportunity to have you with us again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was fine & in a great location with everything we needed but slightly shabby throughout. Fixtures & fittings need updating. Garage was cluttered, three bikes & a tricycle all unusable. Pool area needed a clean/power-wash with damaged pool toys left behind. Also not enough seating.for all guests around the pool. Garden area was overgrown with grass not having been cut prior to our arrival or whilst we were there.

We paid the for pool heat for our stay. When we arrived it was cold out and we we not aware the pool heat was turned off. We did call after two days and the agent sent out maintenance to turn on the breaker. We requested a refund for 2 days for the pool heat, which Beach Time agreed to give us. Our assigned agent helped us retrieve property we left behind after checking out. Much appreciated.
