We had a great 3 night stay. Close to beach and all the amenities provided to enjoy the beach day. Restaurant options within walking distance. Very enjoyable stay. Apartment was beautiful and I would definitely book again!
We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. The property is in a perfect location- only 1 block to the beach and walking distance to a number of great restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Chelsea! We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and look forward to your next stay.
Perfect location for relaxation at the beach. Just a short walk to restaurants, pubs and especially the beach. Property was quiet and the use of amenities such as the wagon, cooler and beach chairs is much appreciated.

So happy you enjoyed our relaxing little piece of paradise. Please come back and see us soon Gayle!
Sabrina is an amazing hostess. We were just across the street to the beach. Indian Rocks Beach wasn’t as crowded as Clearwater, which was perfect for us. Loved having a full size washer and dryer. Everything was clean. Definitely would recommend.
Cute little place on Indian Rocks Beach. Owners are awesome! Very organized, helpful, informative and good communicators. Everything is exactly as advertised.

You are always welcome to stay with us Anne! Thank you for pointing out everything you appreciated:) Can't wait to have you back in IRB!
Proximity to beach and restaurants was excellent. My adult daughter and I enjoyed the neighborhood and all that the location had to offer. We really enjoyed the bicycles that were provided as well as all of the beach necessities( umbrella-chairs-wagon-beach towels). The pictures that are provided are a true representation of the property. We would stay there again!

This was a great place to stay for our family of 4. After the spending the first part of week at an Orlando hotel this intimate residence was a relaxing change of pace for enjoying the beach. Quiet and convenient to the beach, we had everything we needed. At first I didn't think much of the provided beach items but having the wagon, chairs, umbrellas and beach toys allowed us to have a great experience as we couldn't bring anything since we were flying.
Very clean and welcoming. Provided lots of great items that you couldn’t bring if you were traveling a distance as we were (bikes, beach wagon, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc.) thank you for making our stay great!
This cottage was one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in! Comfy bed, excellent smell amenities & above all great communication with Sabrina. She was easy to reach & quick to respond. Highly recommend!

Hi Beverly, thank you for your thoughtful review. We are so happy to have you back with us!
My wife,son,and I had beautiful, relaxing, stay at this wonderful condo. It certainly had all the amenities that you could want or need. Nicely decorated with a lot of charms. We would definitely stay here again or recommend to anyone. The king bed really help our ailing backs. Thank you Sabrina and Bill. Also, the communication was great.
Me and my wife need a few days away.
Smaller home in great location to restaurants, shops, and bar on corner of the street. Just a 3 minute walk to beach. Owner’s supplied beach chairs, umbrellas, floats, cooler, towels and wagon to bring everything to beach. House was clean. Good size for a couple or smaller family. We enjoyed our stay, thanks again.
