Was a great area that we love to stay in. Unfortunately there was a cold spell and couldn't get the furnace on. Overall the place was clean & stocked with everything you would need for the beach.
Loved this colorful and well stocked condo right on the beach. Just peep around the corner and there's the ocean. Master bed was super comfy. Second bedroom too small for two people, but our kids were fine with the pull out bed in the living room. Coffee shop with great pastries just across the street. Easy in and out to the entire Tampa area.

Yes. Some suggestions would be additional mirrors in bedrooms for ladies to get ready. A night light in the bathroom so people can see getting up at night and not blinding couch sleepers with full light.
Perfect location with several options for restaurants within walking distance. I’ve cream shop right across from apartments. CVS within walking distance for convenience. Very close to the beach, not a walk at all. Will be booking here again!
Could not ask for a better place...steps from the beach (and is not a crowded area due to it being mostly residential). Bathroom was tight and needed updates, but overall a nice beach condo!
The location was great! Bathroom smaller than pictures showed but it worked for a few days! Parking was a limited and not easily accessible. Need more signs to make sure that beach goers and restaurant patrons dont park in reserved spot.
We had a great time at this condo! It’s just a few steps from the beach and across the street from Crabby Bills and an amazing ice cream place! The condo is a little dated but that’s to be expected for the age and use over the years! Everything worked great and didn’t have a complaint except you can definitely hear the traffic, so if you’re a light sleeper this may not be the area for you! A simple fan or noise machine app solved that for us! Loved all the beach accessories and they were definitely put to use! Was able to reach out to the owner and do early check in with us arriving early in the day. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to the area!
Everything was fantastic! Nice, clean condo, plenty of supplies, great location.
Outside of property could use a little daily maintenance such as hosing off sidewalks and stairs to help with sand tracking into the condo but other than that it was pretty much perfect. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
We did a quick weekend trip and everything was great. The place was clean and well equipped with beach chairs/umbrellas/toys, cooler and beach towels. The bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The kitchen has regular and pod coffee makers and there was even coffee and all the supplies needed! The location was awesome, a few steps from beach and right across street from restaurants and CVS. You will hear daily music from Crabby Bills but we loved the atmosphere. This was a great place for a weekend getaway, would def stay again!!
Our three night stay, Feb 17-20, 2025 was positive. This unit is a little dated, but was clean and as advertised. The building is beachfront, but this unit is on the backside, which we knew, but it allowed us to be practically beachfront at a cheaper cost. Fully stocked with beach chairs etc, my only real complaint was that there wasn’t a toaster!
We had a great time. Lots of beach stuff provided, kitchen well stocked, extra linens. The beds were comfortable, but mattresses could use a foam pad or a full upgrade to foam mattress. This was the perfect little place to get out of the sun and relax. Washer and dryer worked well. The only thing I didn’t like was how they do not accommodate early check ins or later check outs.

Hi Tracy, we wanted to pass along this feedback from the owners: "We are sorry to hear you were disappointed! Our condo is located in a prime, central location across the street from Crabby Bill's. The live music is over by 10pm."
The space was in a great location on the beach. Checkin was easy and we got in a bit earlier that expected which was great! Plenty of space for two people and well equipped kitchen, beach items and had all supplies we needed. Would have liked the second bedroom to have more than a daybed trundle. We used it to store our luggage and clothes but wouldn't be very functional for adult guests. Only real challenge was the bathroom was very tight space getting in and out of shower. Would still come back again!!!
We stayed during the week of July 4th.
When we arrived, the condo was very welcoming-the place was tidy. It was smaller than imagined, but cozy.
The shower leaked every time one of us got in it, but we put towels down and just rolled with it. I think it’s because of the style of door.
I saw a lot about noise from Crabby Bills…it was not disturbing at all to us nor my three kids (9, 6, 1).
Check in and out process is clear and there’s effective communication regarding entry information and all other.
The convenience of beach toys, floats, fishing gear, and chairs was top notch!

Seaside getaway
Great Stay in IRB. Location is perfect/ Condo was just as described. Kitchen had sufficient supplies for what we needed.Beach supplies provided - huge plus! Chairs, cooler, umbrella, even fishing poles.Walking distance to everything, we really wouldn't have even needed a rental car. Bathroom is tight, shower seems to leak out on the floor from the door, so we figured out how to position the door so it didn't do that anymore. Busy street/area so there is some noise that carries and is easily heard inside the condo but it wasn't too bad. The location is worth it. We'd stay again.

Awesome stay in ideal location!
I came down to Indian rocks beach for my aunts 50th birthday, I stayed in this condo on my own as a younger female and I felt nothing but safe! Condo was very secure and felt comfortable and clean. The main bedroom is the only one I used but it was very comfortable. This condo supplied everything you need. The beach chairs were a really nice bonus! In a few reviews they mentioned you could hear music from crabby bills (directly across the street which is awesome!) this is true but was not a bother and ended right at 10pm. I think this would only cause an issue if you had young children but was really not that big of a deal. Would book here again and want family members that came over thought it was so nice and a perfect location!
