About this property

Entire place

Home away from home but with dolphins and manatees in your back yard.

The property is the downstairs of our home with separate back entrance, separate central ac and mini split ac. Lovely location on the intracoastal waterway with dock, salt water pool, hot tub, kayak and bike use. You can enjoy watching dolphins, manatees and many sea birds from the pool and dock area. Our beaches have white sugar sand and lovely blue water. and are a short 2 block walk away. There are many great restaurants and bars within walking distance.We do live upstairs so you may occasionally hear us but we do not use the pool,or other outdoor amenities when we have guests.

We had a wonderful stay in Indian Rocks Beach! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect—just minutes from the beach and close to great restaurants and shops. It was a relaxing and easy getaway for our family, and we especially appreciated how well‑stocked and welcoming the space felt. Lynne was wonderful, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend it to others!

We had a great stay overall! This was a solid spot for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). I'll make a list of pros and cons in case it's helpful perspective for future travelers.Pros: location was very walkable to beach and ice cream store, etc., hot tub and pool were super convenient and fun for our 2 young kids, dock, fully loaded with all beach and pool items you could ever need the wagon was so clutch. We saw dolphins!Cons: no laundry (to be clear, this wasn't a surprise to us), hosts came down several times during our stay (they were lovely and we knew they'd be in their living space above us but it was less private than we were expecting), one bathroom.

Great property, spacious, nice outdoor space. Its clean and full of the things you need like blankets, towels, kitchen equipment. It was too chilly to use the pool but we enjoyed the view. We watched fishermen and saw dolphins from the dock. Its a short walk to the beach and a few fun restaurants. The area is less commercial than other beach areas nearby which made it more pleasant in my opinion.

Location was perfect! Unfortunately, our trip coincided with the coldest weather seen in FL in years. However, the amenities still made it enjoyable. We enjoyed laying by the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. Loved being right on the canal. Lots of wildlife sightings - dolphins in the canal, an Osprey nest near with one perching on a neighbor's tree and a heron who decided to hang out on the deck. Short walk to the beach as advertised. Had everything you need for the beach and a wagon to pull it in. Great restaurants within walking distance. Host was extremely responsive, friendly and helpful. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will most definitely come back. (My daughter is already trying to plan another trip)
