We enjoyed a very relaxing week at this property. The owners were great to deal with and the access to the beach was perfect. The location in town was convenient, positioned about halfway between Clearwater Beach and Madeira Beach. Plenty of restaurants close by. Morning walks on the beach and thru town were perfect.
This was our second year at the property. It’s always spotless and the hosts have everything a family would need. We always fly in, so having access to beach chairs, etc. is so nice. You are STEPS from the sand. Pool is a nice bonus. We love IRB and this property will not disappoint!
A wonderful property that is only 50 feet from a white sand beach. Easy walking to restaurants and shops. It was like staying in someone’s beach house that was impeccably decorated.
The condo was easy to find, very clean and very comfortable. The place had everything we needed and all of us were happy to be steps from the beach and close to several restaurants and shops. The hosts were friendly and made the whole experience simple. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
Enjoyed our stay at Music by the Sea. Location was great, we could look out and watch the dolphins from the balcony. Surrounding area was nice and not overly touristy. Highly recommend!
Everything about our stay was perfect - from the location, proximity to the beach, amenities within the cottage. Would be extremely happy to reserve again!
We fled the snow Indiana for Indian Rocks after several friends had recommended the area. We were so pleased with our stay! It was the perfect setup for our family, giving us plenty of room to rest, relax, eat, and play. The heated pool was a hit with the kids and the beach access was actually closer than we expected. We hope to return again!
Will stay again next year! Great location and check in process. Walking distance to bars, cbs, restaurants, coffee shop etc and steps from your door to the beach. The hosts were responsive and great as well!
Great experience in the Gulf Bath Tub and quiet setting! We did everything we wanted to and had a great Florida experience in September. The condo was wonderful. We loved the beach access and the pool.
We had a great time. This place had everything we needed. 2nd unit from the beach, great view of the ocean. The place was clean, kitchen was stocked, ac worked great, the 4 of us had a wonderful and relaxing week.
Everything was as advertised. Property is right next to the beach, many restaurants and stores within walking distance, great view of the ocean from the balcony, clean, etc. We'll be back!
We had an amazing stay in IRB! This condo was so comfortable. It felt just like home! We’ve never felt so clean and well stocked in a vacation rental. Everything was perfect! We really enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the beautiful sunsets on the balcony. We would recommend this to anyone and hope to stay again! Thank you for sharing your place with us!
Nice 3 story condo. A little rough on the old knees. Right on the beach. All the beach stuff you will need. I will add that they need some new beach chairs, one was broken but it was just the 2 of us so all was good.
Beautiful property. So nice that they thought to have a little bit of everything as a starter several food items and coffee said that we didn’t have to rush out shopping the first day. Well equipped with beach towels and even beach chairs and toys. This was a nice touch for a family that was flying in and wouldn’t be able to take anything back with us, or bring a lot with us.
We had a fantastic stay in IRB. The property was spotless and only steps from the beach, just like the photos. Comfortable, safe, clean, and had all the essentials. Great spot for kids who loved playing on the beach, collecting shells, swimming in the pool, and having popsicles on the deck. The condo is near lots of restaurants, stores, coffee shops, ice cream places, etc. Walking distance to a nature preserve with a long boardwalk. Very pedestrian friendly area with ample sidewalks and crosswalks. Will stay again!
I can't say enough about how clean the Condo was. Very well equipped ! Within steps to the ocean. Restaurants and shops close by. Easy check in. Beds were comfortable and plenty of extra blankets if needed. We will definitely stay again ! Looking forward to the next time ! Only had to contact the property manager once with a minor problem and it was addressed and taken care of immediately. You will definitely enjoy your stay !
My family and I decided to take our yearly vacation early this year, and booked Thanksgiving week instead of Christmas. It was a perfect break from our crazy schedules! The area is very quiet, and the neighbors were friendly. The condo was clean, and basically on the beach. It was very easy to relax and get everywhere we needed to for groceries, etc. The hostess is so kind, responsive and thoughtful. Everything you need for cooking, grilling, etc. is available to you. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone needing a relaxing and family friendly vacation spot. We will be back!
This was our first time to IRB. We take family beach vacations yearly, but I must say this was our favorite. First of all, I always look for indicators of how close a rental will actually be to the beach (sometimes they can trick you), but this one was so accurate and close. We loved it. It was so close my 4 year old could run back and forth to get toys while we watched him from the beach. You are right there. The condo was spotless. Everything you could possibly need was supplied. Even at 90+ degrees, it stayed so cool upstairs and down. Perfect view from the balcony. We walked to Pipo & Betty's each morning for breakfast & coffee (then later to the same location for ice cream). Loved it. Best vacation yet. We hope to return next year!
