This place was perfect for my girlfriend and I. It was a very short walk to the beach and we were able to watch the sunset over the gulf all 4 nights we stayed. The owner was very helpful with recommendations and making sure we were happy. We will be staying here again if we come back to Indian Rocks Beach
Great location, gorgeous views, delicious food in the area. Property is as described, comfy bed, clean shower and new kitchen. Steps away from the beach access. We will definitely come back
Loved this place, so we extended our stay for an extra week! Super easy communication with the property owner. Love the close location to everything, very easy walk to the beach! Great little spot for a small family.

Really liked this place. It was clean and very close to the beach. It was also very affordable. The owners instructions for directions and entry to the house were excellent and easily followed. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back to stay
This place was perfect for my last minute trip. It's everything that I needed, and the perfect size to not be overwhelmed with alot to cleanup on my way out. The location is great if you are planning on visiting Clearwater, St. Pete or Tampa. The hosts were extremely easy to work with and the place was very clean. Highly recommend!
Very nice apartment. Great parking which has been an issue at other places we have stayed in Indian Rocks. Not directly on beach but less than 3 min walk. Would definitely stay again.
Mike was a great host. Was very flexible with getting us booked last minute. I'd highly recommend this for any couples looking for a 2 person vacation. Close to the beach, 3 minute walk wasn't an exaggeration! We didn't have a cooler so we would just walk back for lunch and drinks. Walked to a different spot for dinner every night.
Communication with host was over the text messaging and he responded promptly and tried to help with all related questions. The property located just 2 min from the Indian rocks beach access. As it is between st. Pete beach and Clearwater beach you can easily drive there if you have car.
As advertised. Host was communicative and helpful. Parking is easy and spacious. Quick walk to the beach even for three hip, 2 knee veterans. Carts and chairs available. Beach is beautiful!
