Short trip
Our trip was cut short by 2 days due to the weather and the airline not flying in. Our trip was memorable for sure. We were there to visit my late sisters' home and granddaughter. The place was perfect for our family. We would definitely love to book again next year. Easy to find and quiet neighborhood. Friendly neighbors as well. The house had everything we needed to prepare meals and the house also had a backyard grill and the house also has plenty of lighting for safety .Considering how close the house is to the beach, the street is pretty quiet .

Great Location easy walk to the beach.
This place was clean, and was a minute walk to the beach. We had no issues with the check in. The only thing I noticed and reported was a small marking on the wall near the front door. It appeared that the reclining chair rubs the wall when you recline. We just pulled the chair away from the wall and no issues. As an added bonus to this house was a beach wagon and beach toys. The wagon and toys were very convenient (I also left some toys, rafts, and bodyboard for the next guest to enjoy). Overall we were very happy everything went without a hitch. Thank you!

Perfect Beach House
We have stayed at many beaches on both coasts of Florida and this is definitely one of my favorites! It’s newly renovated, clean, and on a quiet little road right by the beach access. We enjoyed being so close to restaurants and cute bars. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
In 2006 Max and Rita were on business in Indian Rocks Beach and fell in love with the sand, sun, and family-friendly vacation community of Indian Rocks Beach. On a chance drive down Gulf Boulevard, they stumbled onto what would later become their first property in IRB.

Fast forward to 2023 and they are full-time residents of Indian Rocks Beach and own six properties in IRB, hosting families from across the world, sharing their little slice of paradise all year long. Short-term and seasonal rentals are available and they invite you to experience the ambiance, community, and the people that made them trade in their New Jersey winters for the beach life that can only be found in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.
