Waterfront Escape - Beach + Golf Cart + Family Memories - Indian Rocks Beach, FL
Welcome to the Bahia Sand & Sea House, your coastal retreat just steps from the sparkling Gulf waters of Indian Rocks Beach. Perfectly situated and only a 5-minute walk (or 1 min ride w/ included 6-seat golf cart!) to the sugar-soft sands, this inviting beach home offers sweeping water views from the back windows and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere designed for making unforgettable memories. Whether you're planning a peaceful getaway or an activity-filled beach vacation, this is the perfect place to call home.
Inside, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms thoughtfully arranged to give everyone their own space to unwind. The primary bedroom features a king bed with water views, the second bedroom offers a cozy queen with en suite bathroom including oversized rain shower, and the third is perfect for kids or extra guests with a fun bunk bed setup. Two full bathrooms—including one with a bathtub/shower—make it easy to refresh after a day in the sun. The home is equipped with both heating and air conditioning to keep you comfortable year-round.
The spacious living room invites you to relax with a large sectional sofa and big-screen TV—perfect for movie nights after a day at the beach. The large eat-in kitchen is fully equipped for preparing everything from quick breakfasts to family dinners, and the generous dining table provides plenty of room to gather, laugh, and share stories from the day’s adventures.
Step outside and soak in the coastal lifestyle. Enjoy outdoor seating for morning coffee or evening breezes, and take advantage of the many included amenities: beach chairs, umbrella, kayaks with life jackets, pickleball equipment, fishing supplies, board games, and kids’ beach toys. Traveling with little ones? We’ve made it easy with a pack-and-play and high chair available for your stay.
The closest beach access also puts you near the beloved Kooky Coconut—known for casual bites, refreshing drinks, and must-have hand-scooped ice cream after a day in the sun. For even more fun, a 6-seat golf cart is included to cruise the island (25+ w/ valid D/L & Ins.). Whether you’re cruising to dinner on the golf cart, paddling through calm waters on the kayaks, or simply enjoying the sunset views, Bahia Sand & Sea House is the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and experience the best of Indian Rocks Beach.

About the host
Hosted by Shawn Edwards
My wife and I both grew up here, so this area has always held a special place in our hearts. Now, getting to experience it again through the eyes of our children makes it even more special. We love sharing that same feeling with our guests—whether it’s beach days, time on the water, or simply slowing down and enjoying the coastal lifestyle. Hosting gives us the opportunity to help other families create the same kind of memories that mean so much to us.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it’s dairy special to our family. My wife actually grew up here after her family moved to Florida from Germany in the 90’s, and it’s where so many of our favorite memories were made. Over the years, it’s been the place for family gatherings, celebrations, and time spent together by the water. Sharing this home now allows us to pass along that same sense of connection, warmth, and tradition to our guests.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property truly unique is the lifestyle it offers. It’s a place designed for families to slow down, spend quality time together, and enjoy life on the water—from morning coffee with a waterfront view, to relaxing evenings outdoors. You’re walking, or carting distance, to some of our favorite local restaurants, giving you a true taste of the area. And with Indian Rocks Beach—arguably the most authentic beach on the Pinellas coast—just steps away, you get the perfect balance of peaceful waterfront living and easy beach access.
