The house is beautiful and well appointed. Everything we needed was provided and then some. Communication was smooth and Amber was extremely responsive. She also checked in a couple of times to make sure we were doing ok. This is the best place we've ever stayed. It is literally right on the beach with both a balcony and patio that have stunning views. We will definitely be back!!

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected repairs related to hurricane damage. We were not aware that the work would extend to our section of the building, and we understand how disruptive this must have been. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide a much more enjoyable stay in the future.

5/5 Stars - Perfect Beach Getaway!We had an incredible stay at this property! The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom layout was spacious and comfortable for our group (54 adults and a toddler. Being right on the beachfront was amazing, but what truly set this place apart was the attention to detail. The home was exceptionally clean and fully stocked—there was absolutely nothing left to want for. They provided fantastic extras like beach toys and umbrellas, which made our beach days so much easier. The close-by wash station was also a huge plus for keeping the sand outside where it belongs. Highly recommend this spot and would absolutely stay again!

Family beach trip

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful home for 3 nights. The pictures actually don't do justice to the cleanliness and comfort of the home. The hosts have thought of everything to make it a comfortable and easy stay. It was perfect for our family with two toddlers who loved all the beach toys and toys in the home. They really have thought of everything. We hope to return in the near future!

Thank you for choosing our beach house to create such wonderful memories with your family. We strive to ensure every guest enjoys an exceptional stay and leaves with cherished moments. After your visit, we were delighted to find the home in impeccable condition. It’s hard to believe you had two little ones with you, as everything was so well cared for. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate it. We would gladly recommend you to other hosts and look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

Host profile image

We are native Ohioans, proud Buckeyes born and raised. We've raised two wonderful daughters here and have now entered the empty nest phase. Tim is a Hocking Technical College alum, currently excelling in the pavement maintenance industry. Meanwhile, I pursued dreams of child education at The Ohio State University, though I didn't complete my degree. Despite that, I had the privilege of realizing my dream and recently retired as a middle school secretary.

Why they chose this property

The White Sands Condo is truly our dream beach house! Nestled along the stunning white sands of the Gulf of Mexico in Indian Rocks Beach, it's a place of pure bliss. This charming beach town, filled with family-owned businesses, provides the personal touch we've always sought in a beach community. Stepping out of our door onto the sand, watching sunsets from the balcony, and leisurely walks to local restaurants make each day special. More than just a townhouse, White Sands is our cherished home. With only 4 other units in the building, it's a tranquil spot graced by beautiful sunsets. We're incredibly fortunate to have this beach haven, where we create lasting memories with our loved ones. And the best part? Sharing this haven with guests, knowing they too are making their own cherished memories.

What makes this property unique

Indian Rocks Beach is a charming and unique destination! The absence of towering buildings and commercial businesses highlights the town's personal touch. Locally owned restaurants and businesses contribute to the town's distinct character.

**Restaurants:**
The variety of dining options is impressive, catering to different preferences. From The Original Crabby Bills and Jimmy Guana's for lively evenings with music and dancing, to quieter atmospheres like Guppy's on the Beach and Keegan's Seafood Grille. For Mexican cuisine and Italian delights, VIP Lounge & Mexican Restaurant, Casa Italian, and TJ's Italian Restaurant are great choices. And don't miss Kooky Coconut's for a quick beach snack or Grouper's on the Gulf for a hometown favorite.

**Shopping/Rentals:**
Sea Gypsy gift shop offers souvenirs and rentals, including bicycles and golf carts. Nekton Surf Shop, Island Surf Shop, and Indian Rocks Tackle provide various beach equipment rentals.

**Things to Do:**
Splash Water Harbour Park stands out with water slides, a lazy river, and a kids' splash zone. Parks in the area offer activities like pickleball, bocce ball, and basketball. The presence of a Beach Art Center and Historical Museum adds cultural and artistic dimensions.

Whether it's a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or an escape from winter, Indian Rocks Beach seems to offer a range of options to suit different preferences. The serene beach setting, beautiful sand, and local restaurants make it a promising destination.
