A very nice stay. Property was as advertised. Location was quiet and very convenient for getting to the beach and local eateries. Clean and comfortable. The property manager were excellent and went above and beyond in providing customer service. We would stay here again in the future.
We had a fabulous stay in March for Spring Break. The house was just like described and had everything we needed including plenty of beach towels and chairs. The beach was just a short ride away and was so beautiful. Tons of local restaurants made dining out fun and delicious. The house also had a great kitchen that made eating in a breeze. Taylor from Seaside Property was great at answering questions and always quick to respond. Overall it was a great week and we would definitely go back!!
We had a enjoyable stay in Indian Rocks! The house was clean and the property Manager, Taylor, was very responsive to minor concerns during our stay. It would be great if there were more or updated cooking utensils. Otherwise, I would recommend this property.
Amazing! We enjoyed the property and the area. The management company was the best we have ever encountered and they went above and beyond to help make our trip memorable. We would highly recomend The Seaside Property Shoppe (property mgmy company)--they know the area, they worked hard to deal with variables, and they were creative with solutions and options. I will strive to use them again based on this eperience. Property was clean and stunning! No negatives to report at all! Worth every penny we spent and more!

Our family had a great vacation in this house. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The decor and furniture is very tasteful and of a high standard. We found the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The outside area, including the pool, was also very well maintained. Sharon the manager was exceptional and professional, and provided excellent customer service. We would have no hesitation in using The Seaside Property Shoppe again and I would highly recommend the property to anybody wishing to stay in that area.

Needs Some Work
Arrived to dirty living areas and a dirty pool. Management company sent another cleaner in on Sunday which we appreciated. Pool remained dirty until the pool repair company came on Thursday afternoon to replace the filter after stating “ that’s pretty dirty”. We realize this is not the fault of the property management company but still disappointing because we did not feel comfortable swimming in the pool after finding and using pool test strips under the kitchen sink. I did end up paying for a night at a nice hotel so we could enjoy swimming in clean pools for 2 days. The patio table is extremely cheap and missing a chair. It only rained once the week we were there but also rained in the house due to two separate areas in the ceiling that have water damage and have not been repaired. This lead to water streaming down from the ceiling onto the floor (I have video). The house is not well maintained by the owners (weeds and landscape included). The Nest alarm went off one evening upon entry, extremely loud, would not shut off. We were not ever given a solution for this other than to unplug it (didn’t help), wrap it in towels and place it in the garage in a cooler until it died. Pros: the house is well laid out, the master bedroom shower is fantastic, the location is good, the view is beautiful and the beach is pretty. The management company is also responsive in a timely manner. We made the best of it because we were all together.

The house and view were beautiful! We vacationed with our extended family including my elderly father. The reclining furniture was so convenient for him as his mobility is limited. The dock was great for fishing. We lost count of how many fish we caught. So fun! The layout is great for large groups with several areas to gather. The back area was perfect for morning coffee. The pool is perfect also for evening swims. I was a little worried about not being on the Gulf but, honestly, this view was exceptional. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were updated and beautiful. A few small suggestions: there were only bedside lamps in the master suite. It would be nice to have bedside lamps in all 3 rooms. Also some hooks on the back of the bathroom doors and more towel racks would also be great. Other than that, the property was perfect! We would definitely return and surely hope we can!

Reviewer Comments:
The home was very clean on arrival. There were plenty of pool towels to use at the pool. We appreciated the beach chairs and wagon to use on the beach! The pool was clean and we enjoyed fishing off the dock! The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing! We had 7 adults. The only comment I will make as a heads up for an adult guest is the queen mattress that was on the pullout couch was extremely uncomfortable. I would deem it pretty much unusable. As a result we had two 6 foot 3 people trying to sleep in two double beds. Not ideal. Overall though, a wonderful vacation home. The management company was VERY prompt and responsive. In 20 years of renting homes, they had the best response time.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was overall great! One complaint is they guaranteed the pool to be heated to 80 (which I think was the agreed temp) however the homeowner turned the heat on at noon day of arrival. It took 3 days to heat up so unfortunately we weren’t able to use the pool as much as we intended with the kids. Location is very quiet so glad we rented a car and traveled to beaches, restaurants etc! Our family likes entertainment so we just had to go find the happenings. It is a beautiful view to enjoy your morning coffee & or evening night cap. Husband and kids fished off the dock. All in All our family loves FL so we enjoyed our week in October!
House was very nice and very clean. We had a relaxing stay and found it convenient to restaurants and stores. Property Manager was very attentive and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.
We enjoyed our week. Communication and attention to detail was great. Would recommend this home to anyone who wants a private pool, great views and close to amenities.
We had three adults and two children. The house was very serviceable and the neighborhood seemed ok. It was near to clearwater beaches and assessable to restaurants and walking. The pool was a bit small and the patios could use a little landscaping but all in all would recommend.
To me everything was good except for that master bathroom third world country bed it was horrible old and it the not match the beautiful property itself it was lots horrible I came home with my back twisted even that bed frame or base is super old broken from underneath te rest was amazing
This property met all of our expectations. The interior of the house was beautiful, clean and spacious. The outdoor patio was very nice with amazing views of the bay. Pool was perfect for light swimming and providing a cool break from the Florida heat. Kitchen had everything we needed and the bedrooms were comfortable and clean. Great location too! Only a few minutes from public beach access in Indian Rocks and a 15-20 min drive to Clearwater as well. The only slight negatives is that the pergola out back had no coverage from the sun and the outdoor fans were not installed. Minor issue but would have helped provide some slight relief for the sun/heat. Otherwise an amazing stay and highly reccomend.
The house was perfect! It had everything we needed, it was clean and in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The layout of the house and bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our 20 year old sons and their wife and fiance. We had a lot of together time, along with space to get away. Mornings drinking coffee, visiting and watching dolphins was especially memorable. Thank you for a perfect stay! The beach and the sunsets were beautiful too!
Our family decided to take a trip for Christmas instead of giving gifts, we selected this VRBO property for it's layout, pool and water view. The property layout was ideal for our family - 3 bedroom, 3 bath with a nice central gathering area. Thank you.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family of 6 stayed here for a week and had a great time. PROS: The outdoor space is wonderful and spacious and the shaded patio was quite welcomed. The indoor space is mostly an open concept with the kitchen, dining, and living rooms all amenable to conversations. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nothing fancy but they are quiet and private. CONS: The kitchen. If you like to cook you will find that it is not stocked well at all. Very few pots and pans; not a sharp knife anywhere; few cooking utensils; only 4 wine glasses; limited amount of plates/forks/spoons, etc... However, the fridge is big and cold and the ice maker is fast. There are also 2 sinks, which is handy and the kitchen is large enough for several people to be working. Lastly, we only had 1 toilet roll per bathroom and 1 paper towel. You will probably need to replenish during your stay. Highly recommend Dock of the Bay and we would definitely stay here again.
