Waterfront IRB Home | Private Heated Pool + Dock | Sleeps 10 + Small Dogs

ISLAND TIME
DOCK OF THE BAY | WATERFRONT HOME WITH PRIVATE HEATED POOL & DOCK

Welcome to Dock of the Bay, your own private waterfront retreat in Indian Rocks Beach.
Wake up to beautiful open-water views, spend the afternoon floating in your private heated pool, fish from your own dock, and end the day relaxing outside as the sun goes down over the water. With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and accommodations for up to 10 guests, this spacious home gives families and groups the privacy of a single-family home while keeping you close to the beach, restaurants and everything Indian Rocks Beach has to offer.
Bringing your four-legged family member? Small dogs are welcome with a pet deposit, so they don't have to miss out on the beach vacation.

YOUR OWN PRIVATE WATERFRONT RETREAT
The backyard is what makes Dock of the Bay special.
Step outside to your private heated swimming pool overlooking the water, with plenty of space to relax, dine and enjoy the Florida sunshine. Head down to the private dock to fish, watch the boats cruise by or simply take in the view.
Keep an eye on the water—you may even spot dolphins or manatees passing behind the house.
Morning coffee by the water is highly recommended.

SPACIOUS & COMFORTABLE
Inside, you'll find a bright, comfortable home designed for an easy beach vacation. The open living spaces give everyone room to spread out while still making it easy to spend time together.
The fully equipped kitchen makes breakfast at home, family dinners and evening cocktails easy, while the waterfront setting reminds you exactly why you came to Florida.
With 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, there's plenty of room for families, couples traveling together or a multigenerational getaway.

PRIVATE HEATED POOL + PRIVATE DOCK
No crowded hotel or condo pool here.
Your group gets the private heated pool, dock and waterfront backyard all to yourselves. Spend the afternoon swimming, relax by the water, enjoy dinner outside or walk down to the dock and cast a line.
It's the kind of setup that makes it very easy to spend an entire day at the house—and never feel like you're missing out on vacation.

CLOSE TO THE BEACH & EVERYTHING IRB
When you're ready for the sand, the beautiful beaches of Indian Rocks Beach are just minutes away.
Spend the day along the Gulf of Mexico, then come home to your own pool and waterfront retreat. You'll also be close to the local restaurants, beach bars, shops and attractions that make Indian Rocks Beach one of the area's favorite beach towns.
And because you're staying on the Intracoastal side of the island, you get something most traditional beach condos can't offer: your own private home, heated pool, dock and waterfront backyard.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE REGARDING HEATED POOL:
Pool heaters only function while the pool pump is running. The pool pump typically runs 8 to 10 hours per day.
When temperatures consistently stay below 65 degrees during the day and colder at night, it is not likely that the pool will achieve desired heated temperatures of 82 to 84 degrees. On the rare occasion our temperatures dip into the 40's, the pool heater will not be able to function adequately so will not be turned on.

*This property has a charge of $35/per day to increase the temperature of the pool over 84 degrees.

The house was the perfect size for our family of four. The house and pool were clean and ready for us when we arrived. The pool is great for adults to dip and cool off but small for older children to play in. My family enjoyed fishing off the dock but did not swim in the cove, we went to the beach to swim in the ocean.Our only recommendation for improvement would be kitchen supplies. The knives in the knife block are all dull and made it difficult to cut vegetables and prepare meats. There were limited serving dishes and utensils for making meals at home. Overall the house was wonderful, the weather was great and we had a really nice time.

Family Trip

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.

First let me say the house is spacious and met all the needs of myself, husband, daughter, SIL and 2 granddaughters. However, I did leave a list in the house of small repairs, updates. Back doorwall had 3 screen doors, only 1 worked. The pergola has wires hanging that should have fans attached, but do not. There is no ladder from the deck into the water IF you wanted to use a boat, etc. The pool is small, but nicely heated and enjoyed by 5 kids, 2 adults on Saturday. It is relaxing, and we really enjoyed seeing the dolphins almost daily.It is FL and we had unwanted Palmetto bugs on several occasions. Mgmt. said they would send someone out to spray. I cannot confirm if that happened. There are beautiful beaches close by, and numerous restaurants, shopping, etc. Inside of home was clean, plenty of towels, bedding, etc. Outside could just use some care….to make it look like a mini oasis (like the picture!)

Christmas Vacation at Indian Rocks Beach

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!

Spring Break 2024

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!!

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.

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!

Family Stay at the Dock of the Bay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.

Not what we were expecting

The house was in a beautiful location and views were great, but the infestation of roaches were disgusting to say the least! Before arriving I was informed that pest control would be coming out during the week to do their bimonthly treatment. Thought it was odd they were coming during my stay as they had to have access to the interior, but agreed to the day. Upon arrival, we noticed the kitchen had roaches in the drawers and fecal droppings on the counter in various areas. I immediately contacted the management. The response I received was disappointing. I felt it was downplayed and brushed off. They informed me the droppings were just from Palmetto bugs. First, those are a type of roach and second these were not just Palmetto bugs but actually looked like german cockroaches! My sister lives in the area and knew exactly what they were! I took pictures and forwarded them to management. Fast forward after pest control and the problem just increased! I reached out again and the response was I’m sorry we’ve never had this issue! Really? Needless to say we were completely disgusted! Ended up eating all meals out and was unable to make any use of kitchen! In addition, if you know anything about roaches, these roaches are known to be “hitchhikers”. We brought our luggage home and left it all outside as a precaution. We did not want to bring any back to our home! Such a huge inconvenience and disappointment!!

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.
