We stayed right after hurricane Ian. There was no damage to the IRB area from the storm. However, upon arrival there was no electricity at the home. Thankfully it was merely an over sight by the property owners. They had turned off the power to the home in preparation of the storm and not turned it back on. The owner was very responsive to communication and came over quickly to turn power back on. The HVAC unit did not cut on successfully at that time, however, and we had to reach out again about 45 minutes later to let the owner know the house was getting warmer instead of cooler. They did come back over and fix the issue and the house had cooled off by the next morning. The house was well stocked. There were beach toys, towels, chairs, and a wagon. There was plenty of toilet paper, trash bags, soap, and other basic toiletries. The kitchen was stocked adequately to be able to cook most any food you would want and the kitchen appliances were newer and very clean. The home in general seemed clean with the exception of a bath mat that was very wet. The neighborhood was nice. There was a large house across the street that was loud every night, but there were no safety concerns for our family. The beach access was quick and easy to get to. There were a few issues that are worth noting. During our stay we got a 5 minute notice that a maintenance worker would be there. We were just arriving home & not aware of the situation, so when we let our dogs out to potty, the worker &dogs were in for a somewhat unpleasant surprise. No harm done, but it was stressful. The worker completed outside work &had to come inside the home and access the attic. As the renter, I would have expected for these things to be taken care of on days and times the home was vacant. I did message the owner that we were uncomfortable having workers at the house and would prefer no one le come during our stay. He was responsive and said he understood &assured me that was fine. However the next day landscaping was at the home. When I messaged landscaping was there, they requested I ask the workers to make sure they cleand up the fenced in area. I was a bit upset as this is not what I was anticipating. The washer&dryer were not in great working order (we had to cycle multiple X) &the bath tub has some issues with the water fixtures, but everything else was in good working order. Furniture was great. Beds slept terrific. House was as appeared in pictures.

My friends and I absolutely loved staying at this property! Short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants close by within walking distance. My doggo was allowed!! (Keep in mind that Indian Rocks Beach does NOT allow dogs on the beach.. I did not realize this prior to going.. BUT we drove 20 minutes to Clearwater Beach, and north ClearWater beach allows dogs and it was SO WORTH IT). Great stay, property, communication, materials. Community was extremely laid back, calm and not super busy and crowded at all. We loved the tiki bar room. We hope to make it back some day!

We really enjoyed our stay in IRB. The cottage is cozy and perfect for a few couples or a small family. We liked being so close to the beach, as well as several good restaurants. We liked the French bakery, the Beach Grill, and Guppy’s (highly recommend the swordfish!). The cottage is well stocked—we only cooked breakfast, but it was good for that—although I suspect that someone has taken a few coffee mugs because there were only three. I really appreciated that there was hand soap, trash bags, dish soap, and thoughtful touches like kitchen towels and gray towels. I also thought that the house is very pretty—I loved the arches and dark wood trim.

This place was perfect!

The place was very nice and mostly clean. The only issue I had with cleanliness was that there was a lot of pet hair on the carpet. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't had a baby crawling around on it, but it could have used a good vacuuming. Make sure to communicate with the host about the key code before arrival as the code sent by vrbo is incorrect. The location was great and we really enjoyed our stay!

There are a few little things that need to be fixed in the home. But overall it was just fine. Biggest issue we had were the dump trucks that were going to and from a construction site that started every morning at 8am. But overall I would give it a thumbs up

Good value.

We had an amazing time, property was clean and well stocked with everything you need for an enjoyable beach day. Owners very helpful and responsive. Location is just a 2 min walk to the beach, very convenient, especially when traveling with young kids. Felt like home away from home!

Would do it again

We was very happy to spend our vacation at this house!House was good equipped, clean. Close to beach, restaurants. Thank you so much! We look forward to return!

We had the best time and the house was perfect. Nicole was amazing and responsive. We will definitely book again and stay here again in the future. Just a short walk to the beach!! Thank you Nicole for being so helpful during Hurricane Else lol.

The house was a great fit for our family. It was easy to find and a short walk to the beach and dinning.

Very clean, fun decor and relaxing! Beach across the street and beach chairs, toys, umbrella and wagon available for use! I could go on and on but one of the best vacations.

I recommend this property. The shower outside was one of my favorite parts with two small kids and endless amounts of sand. The property had pretty much all the necessities which was great. It was clean and pretty updated. The walk to the beach was not far at all.

The place was the perfect little beach house very close to the beach! The owner is very knowledgable and gave great recommendations on food!! Must try the French bakery and Thai place across the street. Would absolutely recommend this place and look forward to booking it again!

Wonderful place! Place was just as listed! Clean, plenty of towels and other supplies, spacious for our family of 8. Nicole was so easy to work with and responded within minutes to all communication, called once we were checked in to be sure things were good. House has own parking spot off the street, great porch area to relax and enjoy the breeze! Outside shower was perfect for after the beach. Loved having washer and dryer, everything clean before returning home! Alexa, TV, and internet worked perfectly no issues. Short walk to the beautiful beach, slightly busy street but people so nice and willing to stop to allow you to cross. Beach cart and toys were a great plus to carry our stuff to the beach and kids had something to play with. The beach has powder soft sand, not very crowded, waves nice size for the younger kids to enjoy too. Will definitely stay again if we return to the area!

Very peaceful 3 week vacation. Everything about this property was lovely. Hoping to go back again. Close to beach and food places. Not disappointed

The house was nice, we liked walking to the beach and french cafe. The street you have to cross has a bit of traffic so I would say it would not be good for children. The neighbored was quiet. We had some problems with one of the toilets backing up. First time the host came right away, after much effort, it started working until the day before we were to leave. They did send a plumber the second day but it worked that day so he didn't do anything. Overall the house was nice. The screened patio was great. we spent most of our time there in the morning. Thank you for letting us rent your house.

Property was immaculate, all amenities and our dogs loved it! Check in a breeze and cnice neighbors-very laid back! Thanks Nicole-we will be back next year!

Property was everything as advertised. Enjoyed the one block walk to the Beach. Would return again!
