Excellent vacation

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.

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!

Great location

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.

Amazing for families!

I’ve rented a lot of beach properties and this one by far had the most amenities of any place I’ve stayed. Well stocked kitchen, tons of beach chairs, toys, etc. The owners even provide beach towels! Perfect for our school aged children—steps to the beach and a nice pool as well. Property was private due to the gate and only cars coming in and out were staying there. Walking distance to lots of great restaurants. We loved our time there and wished we could have stayed longer!

Charming townhouse rental

We loved our stay at Music by the Sea! The condo was decorated in a lovely beach theme, with generous quality linens and towels. And the kitchen was equiped with everything you could want, even a juicer! Also having beach lounges etc, made our time on the beach comfortable. Our puppy loved looking out from the balcony during happy hour with friends, and quickly became used to heading for the green area for bio breaks :-) It was great having two parking spaces when friends came by. The location is perfect too, being within walking distance to PJ's, Slice, CVS, and IRB central! We love visiting here!

Nothing short of paradise

This property exceeded our expectation! The owners had everything we needed right there waiting for us. Not only was it there but it was high quality! We appreciated the comfortable beds and living room area. The kitchen was well stocked. We GREATLY APPRECIATED the nice beach chairs and umbrella!! They were used EVERY DAY. This was the highlight of our trip. Relaxing at the beach which was just a few steps out the front doors of the condo. The condo was so clean and maintained. Communication with the owners was very much appreciated. Can’t wait to go back!!!

We had an amazing stay at this location! So close to the beach and a pool on site! We found shark teeth and so many shells. We only had to provide a few things once we arrived but was stocked with starter supplies, beach towels, etc. We really enjoyed the puzzles and board games available and the washer and dryer was a great thing to have on site! We had a wonderful, comfortable stay.

Family Winter Escape

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!

Best Thanksgiving Ever!

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!

Our favorite rental yet!

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!
