A barrier island 24 miles from Tampa International Airport, Indian Rocks Beach is sunny nearly every day, with historical temperatures ranging from 54 to 90 degrees F. Since the Florida Gulfcoast is the leeward side of the state, the Gulf of Mexico is usually pretty calm, with the larger waves on the Atlantic Coast of Florida.

The house was located beautifully! You could see the beach from the large porch which had plenty of seating. There was also a nice, hose to wash off the sand, and plenty of beach toys for kids in a storage box. There was plenty of sleeping places. The kitchen had a lot of kitchenware and even some other things that perhaps were from the owner or from other renters, like salt, pepper, pancake syrup, oil, etc. There was a TV in each room with connection to streaming services, but when we were there, the internet connection to the TV was hit or miss. There were plenty of towels. The hand soaps and dish soap were plentiful, but pack your own hair toiletries. I hadn’t rented a house before, and this was a good first experience. If we go to that coast again, I’d rent it again,

Great beach house
Our family had a wonderful time and Kathleen was a fabulous host with some of the best communication you will ever see from a host. My wife and I had our 4 kids with us (ages 4-11) and the proximity to the beach was just incredible. The house was as advertised. Very easy to log in and out of the TVs for Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc. The ability to walk to dinner at various restaurants was also amazing. The access to the stroller was also really nice for pushing our 4 year old around if we needed a stroller. We would stay here again and our family had a wonderful time at the beach and this house.

Relaxing beach getaway
This beachfront property is an excellent choice for families, especially those with young children. The house offers ample space, with multiple bedrooms and a spacious living area. Its location is a major highlight, with direct beach access and within walking distance to a variety of excellent restaurants, ice cream and coffee shops. The outdoor areas are particularly appealing. The fenced yard provides a safe space for young children to play, and there's even a wild bunny that kids might enjoy spotting. The back deck offers stunning ocean views and is perfect for watching beautiful sunsets. Inside, the house is well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen. The dining room offers lovely views of the ocean through sliding doors. Kathleen, the host, deserves high praise for her responsiveness and attentiveness. She quickly addressed questions and concerns, and checked in during the stay to make sure all is going well. Overall, this rental property stands out for its prime beachfront location, family-friendly features, and excellent hosting, making it a top choice for those seeking a relaxing beach getaway.

This was a great house for our family. It works so well for families with smaller children. The yard is fenced and they had freedom to be outside. There is even a wild bunny, which they loved. A thumbs up to a house that meets the needs for a carefree time.

Summer 2023 Family Vacation
We absolutely loved the property. We are a family of 8 (6 children) and we had plenty of space. The living room was large and spacious. I loved the sectional!! We could all pile on there.
The kitchen had everything we needed. Even an ice maker!!! I loved sitting in the dining room and looking out the sliding doors to the ocean.
Kathleen was great to work with. She was always quick to reply and help with anything that I needed.
I have two things I absolutely loved about the cottage:
1. Location - We could walk to restaurants and ice cream places.
2. Back deck - My husband and I watched the sunsets every night and it was incredible!
We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful on the beach
Beautiful property right on the beach. We had a great time. Only small thing was that we did notice some small sugar ants in various rooms and the primary shower had a small crack in the floor making the floor soft in one spot. But that didn’t change the fact that we had a great time and we would come back again! Communication was superb with the property manager.

Kathleen was an amazing host, always prompt to respond, checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going well and even let us check in early which was a huge plus because we got
In from virginia earlier than expected with two small kids.
The house was very clean, beds were really comfortable, it had everything we needed to relax on the beach AND it was right on the water, which again was super ideal with two small kids coming back from the beach. Will definitely book with her again!

Amazing place!
Place was easy to find and plenty of parking space for 2-3 cars(we only had one but plenty of space for more) we found the place to be clean and comfortable! Perfect location on the beach with very short trail from back gate to the sand. Back porch is amazing views for coffee in morning or watch the sunset. The place had plenty of space inside we never felt cramped for the 4 of us and could have accommodated more easily. We would definitely revisit this house and area!

We loved our stay in Indian Rocks. The location was outstanding. We woke up to amazing views every morning and watched incredible sunsets every evening. There are plenty of places to eat within walking distance or a short drive. We also enjoyed driving to Johns Pass for dinner (15 minute drive) and Clearwater (< 15 minute drive).

This gem is located in the heart of Indian Rocks Beach close to everything. It is a perfect spot for a family gathering. We had 11 and fit comfortably. The downstairs under the house open area is great for having extra company, the small grassy area in the back is perfect for kids to play, and then of course the beach is only steps away.
